" Events have shown that the pro gressive party in 1912 offered the only alternative to the triumph of the demo cratic party. Moreover, these events have shown that even the application of the principles which we then advocat ed is even more necessary to this na tion than ne at the time supposed. "The results of the terrible world war of the past two years havo now made it evident to all who aro willing to see, that in this country there must be spiritual and industrial prepared ness, along the lines of efficiency, of loyal service to the nation and of prac tical application of the precept that each man must be his brother's keeper. rurinermoro, it is no less evident that such event it would be necessary for us (irupureimess inr iasK3 or to Head that tieKet could not be deter peace forms the only sound basis for mined in advance.

"As far as my own soul is known to me, it is in this same spirit that at the timo I make this appeal to republi cans and progressives assembled at Chi cago. "In addition to these statements I had also stated my own attitude verbal ly and in letters during the week's im mediately preceding the convention to scores of leading progressives from all parts of the country, including many leaders at the convention. To these men I expressed my earnest hope that I the republicans would so act to make it j possible for the progressives to join with them. I stuted to them, however, that in view of the attitude of some of the republican leaders, it was nt least j conceivable that w e should be put in a I position where our highest duty, our fealty to the country, our sense of what ! patriotism demanded in a great crisis would make it imperative on us to run a separate ticket; and that whether in r war.

"At the time many republican lead ers asserted that my statements were not mado in good faith; that I really intended to insist upon my own nomina tion by the republican convention, and that if I was not so nominated, I in tended to accept the progressive nomi nation bv the republican convention, nnd that if I was nut so nominated, I intended to accept the progressive nomi nation and run on a third ticket. Of course, my fellow progressives were un der no such error. They knew that I spoke in good faith nnd meat exnctlv what I said. They knew that my utter ances were to be accepted at their exact faco value as meaning that if the re publicans nominated a man whom we could conscientiously support we would support him. The progressive conven tion came together knowing my public statements, and therefore, knowintr ex actly what my attitude was. "In mv judgment, the nomination of Mr. Hughes meets the conditions set forth in the statement of the progres sive national committee, issued last January, and in mv own statements Under existing conditions, the nomi nation of a third ticket would, in m v judgment, be merely a move in the in terest ot the election of Mr. Wilson. I regard Mr. Hughes as a man whose imh- lie record is a guarantee that ho will not merely stand for a nrocrnm nf clean-cut, straight-out Americanism, be- lore election, But wi reso .te v un.l ill good faith, put it through if elected. "He is beyond all comparison better fitted to be president than Mr. Wil son. It would be a grave detriment to the country to re elect Mr. Wilson. I shnll, therefore, stronirlv mminrt "Ur Hughes. .Such being the case, it is un necessary to ssy that I cannot n,.o.,t the nomination on a third ticket. I do not believe that there should be a third ticket. I believe that when my fellow progressives coolly consider the question they will for the most part take this position. "They and I have but one purpose that purpose to save our common coun try. It is my deep conviction that at this moment we can serve you only by supporting Mr. Hughes. "It is urged ngainst Mr. Hughes that he was supported by the various so ealled Oermnn-Ainerican alliances. I be lieve that the attitude of these profes sional German-Americans was due, not in the least to any liking for Mr. Hughes, but solely to their antagonism to me. They were bound to defeat me for the nomination. The only way by which they could ncliieve this object was by supporting Mr. Hughes and they supported him accordingly, without any regard to other candidates. I need hardly repeat what I have already said in stern reprobation of this professional Herman-American element the element typified by the (iormnn-American al liances, and similar bodies, which have throughout tho pre-iiominntion enm jiaign, played not merely an un-Amer-lcnn, but a thoroughly anti-American part.
