' INDIANAPOLIS, Oit. 12. Presi
dent Wilson replied here today to re
jjnlilican charges that the democratic
party Is a sectional one. lie declared
that no man who lirinss U such an
issue Is lit to have the confidence of
America.
"Any mau who views the Issue of
sectionalism in this country Is not
worthy or the confidence of the na
tion." said the president. "He shows
himself a provincial. That is the
depth of anti-patriotism."
Draw America Together.
The president (lid not mention
diaries K. llniOies. Ho said lie did
not want to discuss politics, but that
he could not help referring to such
n question.
ills chief object, the president said,
Is to draw America together and na
tionalize it.
"After this wnr we must he ready
Willi n united force and with a single
object," he added. "So long as one
'group of Americans Is pulling in one
direction and one group in another,
wo can get nowhere." He went on:
"Wo must get together on na
tionalization ami mobilization. We
units move together as a single over
whelming force and we must have co
operation." Xccd of Co-OiH'rntinn.
The president declared that up to
the present, different groups in the
.jjiu-! aiuton -Uavo ben fisbiliiK in
stead of co-operating, "f see the
growth In America or the conception
of solidarity," he said.
"There can bo nolhing In the In
terest of capital which Is not In the
interest of labor and vice versa. I
urge capital and labor to co-operate
for the common prosperity of the na
tion. "I am counsel for the nation," the
president declared in saying that the
American people were the final jury
in settling Industrial disputes. "As
a contest for office, politics arc con
temptible" lie said, "but they are
honorable when they are curried on
to help the nation. Talking through
the hat ought to be a dead industry,
every man who speaks from a public
platform ought to have this sign over
li i in 'put up or shut up.' " The crowd
interpretatod the remark in a po
litical way.
"You are off the road," the presi
dent said, "hut 1 am willing to take
my own medicine."
I.cnll for I'eiico.
The president reiterated previous
declarations In favor of a league or
nations to luaiutuiu peace after the
Present war.
"The only terms on w iiii-h we can
enter such a league. ' he said are
the terms we wain. Those terms are
based on tho maintenance of human
liberty.
"In these years just gone by. we
have kept our poise when all the rest
of the world would seem to have lost
its poise," the president declared.

WHY I AM FOR WILSON
P.yCiKOKUK MIDDLKTON
(Noted l'liivwi io'lit itiid Son-in-1. aw of Nenatur .
LaFollette.)
Thoujrli I am not a denuii'i'iil, I shall vote for -Wilson.
No other jiresident since Lincoln has lieen con-
fronted with such'interpiitional nroblems. Anv other
swapping horses now. liecause il
son, through four years of anguish, is more ac
quainted than Hughes with all the cross-currents of
our foreign relations, he should lie re-elected. It is
no time to experiment with even an honest amateur
in foreign affairs. The problems which will confront
the world after tlic War will be monumental and to
Wilson should be given the opportunity of trying to
bring some order out of the chaos. 1 am convinced
that Iff is so genuinely a lover of peace'that he will
follow up rigorously the clauses which he had in
serted in the naval appropriation bill, giving liiin
power to work towards international disarmament
through a world tribunal.
yi ucli as I respect Hughes as a man, he goes lie fore
the country without tin issue, lie is merely a critic.
He has shown no constructive alternatives. And.
above all, he carries no conviction in his speeches that
had he been president, taking other methods than
Wilson, he would have kept the country out of war.
Nor can he detract one iota from the record of pro
gressive legislation enacted under the present admin
istration. J cannot support a supposition, 1 shall
vote for i man who has had the responsibilities and
who has stood the gaff.

Freedom of LalMir.
The Clayton act establishes
freedom of labor so tar as it can be
