Dr. S. A. Mulkey of Central Point,
. Another Life-Long Republican,
Who Is Working for Re-election of
Wilson, Who Has Proved Himself
a True Progressive.

Wilson is Dr. S. A. Jliilfcuy of (Vn
tnil I'oinl, wliii yesterday iil'leninim
e.vpliiineil his loss of I'nitli in tin' re
pulilii'iin parly nnil reeileil the I'liain
of events that Icil him to espouse tin
cause nf the ilcinocrutii' ciiiulitlute.'
As he expresses it, Dr. Mulkey
was bom it repuliliean. His father
. ami most of the nii'iiiheis of his I'am
''ily were of that political fnitli. His
' tvn support of that parly t'otitiuueil
until after the nomination uf the can
didates in the present campaign.
Vrom tlie outset of thc'cauipiiiii, Dr.
Mulkey e.xplaineil, "Mr. Unfiles lins
eviilenccil no interest in the welfare
of the common people. His speeches,
he conlinueil, were such n constant
tirade against the administrative
acts of the ilcinocrats, such constant
line was made of imnlsliiiin;;', pcrti
iieut facts in campaign ami inhniiiis
tnition were so distorted and ne
glected hy Mr. Hughes and his cam
pai(;n hrethrcn as to turn Sir. Mill
key, with thousands of fair-minded,
thinking repuhlii'aiis from the fold.
ConiNUVil Cumlhhitcs
"In common with many republi
cans," stated Mr. Mulkey, "I have,
after carefully woijihiiit; the utler
aiices nf the two candidates, compar
ing their acts and promises; 'consid
ering the almost overwhelming condi
tions which have confronted Mr. Vil-,
son, reading; the abuse heaped hy Mr.
Hughes upon the various legislative
enactments of the past administra
tion in a spirit which I consider the
antithesis of fair-mindediiess, I have
decided no limber to stand hy a stan
dard of party, hut by n standard of
i rifrht. The stninhml-bciirer of . right
is Woodrow Wilson. 1 ' ' 1
"I was thoroughly disgusted with
the conduct of the republican con
vention, the attempts of Theodore
lioosevelt to bully the convention,
; and failing', his abject trailing in the
wake of Hughes. Koosevolt . four
years ago broke the republican party,
and for that act alone can he charac
terized as nothing less than a simon
pure political trickster.
"Wilson has proved himscil a pro
gressive in thought and action. Yen
tfS many of the planks of the progres-
sivc platform he has had enacted into
actual legislation.
The tariff ipTcslion as now being
used by the republican party Dr. Mul
key characterized as a hoax, a pol
itical dead letter, having been remov
ed front the political arena by the re
cent appointment of the tariff enni
, mission. Their seizing upon this
threadbare subject-, he considers,
arises from the fact thalMhey have
no real issues upon which to base
;! their campaign. They offer nothing
' but faultfinding and abuse as an ex
i ease for being, and have nothing het
r ter to offer, nothing more enlighten-
i ed as an alternative to choose against
' the record of achievement of the
past four years.
Mexican Crisis.
"The Mexican Mtuat he con
linueil, "hud been much overdrawn.
1'ractically the same conditions pre
t vailed under the Taft administration,
und yet Taft pursued the policy that
:.. w i u-:i... ti, v u
I 1. ,.1. I, I',, I uMiiliii"'. When
M regulars were sent to the border by
Taft, republicans said nothing about
the country being in a state of war.
"Mmi were killed, but the incident!
were passed over. ' Yet in the pies
cut niliniiiisl ration a howl lias gone
out from the republicans that we are
in a deadlv state of war: that A"'cr
icans arc hi'iii'' Vhiilglltered.' Such
ineoiifistencv is enough to turn nnv
man who thinks for himself rather
than allows some political howler to
think for him. from a party harbor
ing the men who are responsible for
such inconsistencies, such u lack of
the power of sober thought and rea
son. And this very inability on the
part of republican lenders, portend
ing, n it docs, n reign when reason
will be shelved, should they come into
power, is driving members of tluit
. party, the thinking members, in hnn-
1 dreds to the support of Woodrow
Wilson. Members of the republican
party will be instrumental, both di
rectly and indirectly, in returning Mr.
Wilson to the white house.''
Yi
COLD IN EFFORT
TO ElECT HUGHES
To the Editor:
U is most amusing to note the in
consistency of the arguments advanc
ed by the political generals of Wall
street In their efforts to defeat Wood
row Wilson. At one tlino they knife
the administration for tho part Mr.
Wilson played to prevent the. great
railroad strike; they flail tho eight
hour policy which settled the strike;
then before their abusive denuncia
tions arc cold, they lain! Mr. Hughes
for advocating the eight-hour system
a few years ago in t:tate politics. Wc
wonder why it Is lnmllblc for one' man
to do a thing and censurable for an
other to do the same?
Switch in Slogans
Then again i In tho beginning of the
campaign everything connected witli
the namo of Hughes was war. Inter
vention, aggresiveiiess. That proved
to be unpopular, so the slogan is
"Hughes Stands for Peace!" It pays
to tack to windward, sometimes.
It is not the repubican party that is
fighting to defeat Mr. Wilson. It's
the old ring, fighting hard to regain
tts prestige. Many, many republicans
will vote for Wilson. In fact. If lie
is reelected It will not be the demo
crats, the republicans, tlin socialists
or the prohibitionists who do it, hut
it will be the parents of tho nation,
who do not. want to send their boys
to act as targets on tho field of a use
less, senseless war.
Keeping Out nf War
It has taken a master hand in di
plomacy and statesmanship, to keep
us out of war tile last few years. For
tunately 1t caught us at a time when
we had a master statesman In tile ex
ecutive chair. It has been a grand
sight to sec this man of high ideals
and moral courage, battling success
fully with the forces that have dom
inated almost every administration
during the last three decades (demo
cratic and republican.) To congress,
also, holongs a lot of credit, for Its
support of his principles. They are
holding tip tho hands of the student
the thinker, the scholar, who has the
anility to create these measures of
political reform.
llon't Want lleforni
And that is the trouble with the
corporation leaders who want Wilson
out. They don't want political reform
they want war, for in war they
reach their richest harvest. It en
hances the value of the products on
which they have a corner. And for
this reason they arc clamoring to the
voters to give them war. Virtually
their clamor takes on this cry: "To
have prosperity we must have war.
We must feed the rapacious hwn of
the war god! His food Is men: he
prefers young men; give us your
young men, we must have war! We
know tt will desolate your homes, hut
lust think of the prosperity it will
l-ring! We sent a bunch of aristo
cratic women across the country on
special: vote as they told you to
vote: they stand for war!"
Ah, yes! A prosjierity bought with
the blood of American manhood. Kv-
erv dollar of which would be gory
with the warm life blood of your hoy
.ind my boy. We should offer thein
as sacrifices to the lustful gods of fin-
jnee and political corruption.
.American ism Advancing.
Tint Americanism Is advancing to
that horizon of civilization. Just be
rnd which is a new world; a world
in which diplomacy and statesman
ship rule supreme. Where the sword
and the rifle are taken up only In de
fense of nation or honor, neither of
which are Imperiled at the present
time.
As we go over into this promised
land of a new birth, shan't we take,
as our leader, the man who for the
last four years has piloted us safely
thus far? Ills vision has gone furth
er than most of ours, he sees over
the boundary line, and sees there a
country that can exist, prosperous
and content, without any domination
from the Wall street hunch. That
pilot is Woodrow Wilson, the most
.hie statesman since Lincoln's time.
HENRY C. GLASSCOCK
SAYS N. Y. POST
NT.W YOHIC. Nov. 2. The Kvening
I'ost, which until recently supported
Hughes, declared last night that the
democratic organization is confident
of a sweeping victory in New York
stale.
"The prediction lhat New York will
go deiiiocra'ic by l 'lO.IMM) was attrib
uted on -good authority today to
Charles V. Murphy, leader of Tiuu-
iniiny Hall, says the I'ost. "Mr.
Murphy, it was asserted, confidenti
ally, exeets New York will be carried
bv rresident Wilson and the rest of
the democratic ticket. So, in fact, do
ill the other democrat leaders, but,
unlike Mr. Murphy, they have made
no score! nf it.
. Murphy Will Not. Talk.
Dpwn in Fourteenth street, it is
lifferent. All efforts to get a pre-
iliction from Mr. Murphy in the pres
ent campaign have been unsuccess
ful. Mr. Mm jury doesn t predict-
out loud. He has not done so since
the vear l'.ird ("oler swept. Greater
New York for governor and then suf
fered defeat by n handful of voles
when the belated up-state returns
caiuc in. ...
"Tammany's annual pre-election
ampaign canviiss of the city will be
gin tomorrow, but when the reports
arc all in, only the leader and a lew
if his confidants will know how mat
ters stand. However, the canvass is
looked upon in Fourteenth street as
lucre formality, in view of Mr.
Murphy's private sources of informa
tion.
New York 130,000 for Wilson.
"The. prediction of New York by
l,")t),(l(IU is accepted by Taiimiiiuy men
as quile as reliable as any prognos
ticatinn based on figures submitted
by the district leaders.
"At riling to I'.dwin S. Harris,
democratic, state . chairman, who is
lightly more talkative than Mr. Mur
phy, the republican leaders them
selves privately concede the state to
Wilson.
" 'The republicans are trying to
fool the public,' said Mr. Harris to
day. 'The fact is that republican
leaders urivatelv concede that Wilson
is sure to carry New York state.
Ilcpiibllcans Can't Save Hughes.
"'Only Saturday three republicans
told me that they could not save
Hughes, and they are working for
him as hard as they can. 1 have the
same information from republican
leaders in all parts of the state, and
the information is absolutely reli
able.'
"The people who think that the bet
ling odds should favor Whitman are
absolutely fooled. Windmill bus not
a chance of getting 711,000 plurality
up the state, and the Whitman lead
rs know it. They are trying to keep
their courage up hy believing that
they can change enough votes oil
election nay in pun.tacm larougii.
I;cptilllc4iiis Against Whitman,
but nothing can shake off the for
mer. Stato Democratic hy 100,000.
"'The state will go demoeratii: by
1011,000," declared Mr. McCoiubs to
day. 'I am not giving out red fire. 1
"There is not a county up the stale I inn basing my prediction on tlie tie
that has nut scores of republicans mendous impetus for Wilson which
who will vole against Whitman. The
si Alight democralie vote will he 10,-
000 greater than it has been tor
years. The republican leaders arc
trying to bluff the public.
"William 1'. McCoiubs, democratic
candidate fur senator, also believes
it is all over but the shouting. Mr.
McCoiubs bus returned from an u'u
state specch-inakiag tour with a iirm
conviction of victory and a bail ease
of lonsililis. I nlcss the latter im
proves, be inn y not be able to carry
out his speaking ohms in this city,
is everywhere in evidence up state
This was particularly so in rock
ribbed republican districts. Through
out the state there is a strong desire
on the "art of the people to maintain
things as they are and to take no
chance with peace and prosperity.'
"Mr. McCoiubs was asked whether
he preferred to be running some one
Ise s campaign or bis own. 'I ve
been playing the role of prima donna
for several weeks,' he replied, 'and
I yiik 1'tl rather lie the prompter in
the wing'."
