OPEN FIELD FOR
A FAIR FIGHT IS

President Lovett of Harriman Lines
Says President Has Substituted
Law for Presidential Favor and
That Business Men and Patriots
Should Rally to His Support.
NEW YOrtK, Oct. 21. Business

of tliclr country, Hhoulil support
WoodrowW'llBon for ro-elnctlon, says
Jtoliort 8. Lovett, executive head of
tho Union Pacific Hallway Bystom In
nn Interview upon the iaiiutis of tho
caiuimlKn.
Mr. l.ovott lakes his position not

Kononil buslnoss In tho country by
practical reconstructive legislation.
Ktpuiro Ileal for llikilnrMi.
"I sou not prepared to believe that
business men are lacking In apprecia
tion of what ho has done for busi
ness," says Mr. Lovett. "Ho has given
tin business peace and an open field
for a fair fight. He lias substituted
the law as a rule or conduct for "gov
ernment by oxocutlvn order" and
presidential favoritism; and tho "un
leslrablc citizen" has had the same
show ns the most influential group or
tho biggest campaign contributor. No
special dispensations to form trusts
linve been granted, and it has not
liecu uoccssary to consult tho White
House, rather than counsel, In order
to do business. The statutes, and not
the presidential reelings or state of
mind, havo been our guldo. And
theso have been administered ovonly,
impartially, Justly, without straining
to harass and persocuto.
"There urn business men In this
town now criticising Wilson In glitter
ing generalities who, under prcvous
administrations, did not know how
long they would bo out or Jaly try as
Jiard as they could to obey tho law.
Ve havo had nouo or this under Wll-
tuin. Kuril him gono his way wjth
out any fear of persecution with
only tho law for his guldo.
l-'i-lcniMiln for Business.
"What president has shown more
loyal and consistent personal and of
ficial friendship for every form of
legltiniiito business and enterprise?
How refreshingly - rreo from dema
gogy every utterance of his upon the
subject has beon. Kvcn tho railroads
Iho favorite Held for political ex
ploitation -have received Justice and
fairness at his hands except In the
right-hour day controversy; and that
was a mistake In supposing that the
olghl-hoiir Industrial day was appli
cable to railroad train service. In
the multitude of matters pressing
upon him for attention, he was, like
thousnnds of others, misled, until
too Into, by the shrewd plea for nn
eight-hour day, when only an Increase
of pay was Involved, lint after all,
would his opponent havo don diffcr
mlly? Tho latter was silent until
ho saw tile popular side of the ques
tion. r "And let us not forget that wo owe
Ilr. Wilson for Iho present unex
nmplcd Industrial prosperity ol Hie
country. Why?
TMit for l'lmpat'lty.
"Does nny one with nny memory or
those days doubt this? Nothing hut
'Wilson's leadership, and firm stand
from tho first for American trade
Slghts-for Urn right ot our manu
facturers and traders to make and
noil all atlcles of commerce to all
coiners secured to us the enormous
trade, extending through every line
or Industry, that has brought employ
ment and high wages to millions or
workmen and huge profits to onr
manufacturer. Let us do simple Jus
4ico and remember these facts. States-
jucn and cx-stutesmen. now crllicis
lug Wilson, had not round themselves
cr their voices on this question until
lifter ho had taken his stand for
American trade and Industry.
"r'or a generation tho republicans
liave been tinkering with tho hanking
nnd currency question, but Wilson
mottled It and settled It so effectively
ind wisely that his most reckless
tritlcs aro silenced upon tho subject.
The federal reserve act was peculiarly
Wilson's personal work. There was
no political sentiment lor It, or even
ngltatlon. except In bunking circles
It had been llttlo discussed in the
campaign. Tho Aldrlch commission
liad made Its report and It had been
lulv pigeonholed. If olther Taft or
3toosevelt had been elected, the sub
Ject would have been resurrected only
in a most perfunctory way. If at all
for congress clearly was not inter
sted. Hut Wilson at once made it
the paramount purpose uuri policy of
his udmlnlstrallou and put his whole
power und influonco behind it und
literally drovo congress to the task
until it was accomplished. Have tho
financial and business mcu forgotten
this supreme service?
Ililllljint l'uge in History.
"His management of our relations
to the European war situation Is the
greatest aud most brilliant page In
our diplomatic history. Ho main tallied
our rights and our honor with unfil
ing firmness,and put our enso with
such clearness and force and logic
that the most arrogant nation had to
yield, while all tho neutral nations of
the world applauded. He held to a
strict neutrality, as becomes the char
acter and dignity of u great, self
respecting nation which Is unwilling
to become a vassal to either belliger
ent, like a Ilalkan state. True, this
high-minded neutrality does not
please those among us who arc so
German that they want our own coun
try to be made a battleground for the
Kaiser, nor those Americans, who are
Knglish that they draw their
patriotic inspiration from thut coun
try rather than their own, nnd think
wo should have rushed Into Hie war
at the first excuse.
I believe the great mass of Inde
pendent, self-respecting people of this
country the real Americans ap
prove and feel proud of what history
will record as the ablest treatment or
our forclun relations ut this most
critical Juncture ot the world's
history.
"With President Wilson's Mexican
policy I cannot at all agree. It has
been a serious mistake from the be
ginning. Hut again I say: Who, con
fronted with so many difficulties
(and hardly any one In all history
has had to face more), would not
have luudo mistakes? And let us not
forget that In this Mexican business
his mistake was on tho sldo of peace
not war."
Defends Ship I'm chase- Uivf.
Mr. Lovett then reviewed Woodrow
Wilson's domestic record or achieve
ment, saying that, "while distracted
by theso unprecedented foreign dlffl
cultles ho has exhibited a construc
tive statesmanship and achieved re
sults In domestic policy that will
inalto tills administration notable In
history." Ho named tho federal re
serve net, the rural credits act, the
child labor law, tho Underwood tariff
act, tho trado commission act, the
legislation in behalf of "real pre
paredness' and tho ship purchase, act.
Of tho tariff commission, he states;
"They say he changed his mind to
do this. Long live the man who Is
big enough to change his mind to get
right.
"This has been several times criti
cised as governmental Invasion of
private Industry," Mr. Lovett re
marked of tho ship purchase act.
"Hut Aiuerlcnn capital has not on
gaged in foreign shipping to any ap
preciable extent in the past, and there
seems less reason to suppose It will
do so In tho future. Of what use
would our big navy be In tlmo of war
without transport and supply ships?
And where are we to get them ir
neither private capital nor tho gov
ernment builds them, slnco roreign
ships could not bo had in caso or
war
Shall Disloyalists Itule.
"Hut Important as are all these
considerations, they ere, to my mind
Insignificant to us ns a nation In
comparison with one grent over
shadowing question Involved lu this
election namely, whether the Amerl
can people are going to permit an
American president to ho disciplined
and defealed nnd driven from office
by an alien clement in our popula
tion for daring to Insist on American
rights against a foreign government
There is no mistaking this Issue.
"Their venom Is concentrated on
President Wilson because he refused
to sanction the Lusitnnla murders and
required tho cessation of submarine
sliiughteryOf American men. women
and children on peoccuble ships at
sea, and because he refused to put an
embargo on our legitimate nianu-
racturing and commerce.
Hut what or the political party
nnd candidate that seek to proltt by
this conspiracy? Neither the republi
can party nor Its candidate has had
one word to say against It. The
candidate talks Incessantly of unde
fined 'Americanism.' nnd uses other
sweet phrases In a way to mean abso
lutely nothing. I to wus the candi
date of this disloyal element for th
nomination, us he Is now its candi
date for the office. In this campaign
he has carefully avoided every word
or declaration calculated to antagon
ize this element, and Is obviously
seeking Its support. If he wins if
Wilson Is defeated there will be
moro rejoicing In Herlln over this
triumph of Pan-Germanism against
real Americanism than there would
bo over the winning ot a battle or the
eupluro or a great city even Verdun."
