NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1916. "TWO HAVE CHANCE 10 DEFEAT WILSON Roosevelt or Hughe_s, C. S. Bird : Tells Republicans Boston, Jan. 4.—The following open letter has been sent by Charles Mer Bird of Mas: W. Perkins, chairman of the executive committee of the Progre: Committee. Mr. Bird, gressive candidate for 1912, as a candidate in 1913, received 126,- 000 votes, defeating tne candidate by over 10,000 votes: “My Dear Mr. Perkins: “The Progressives, million strong, await with much in- terest the action of the Progressive «National Committee, which meets in Chicago on January 11. We are largely anti-Democratic and yet many Sum- sive National the Pro- Governor in of us will vote the Democratic ticket | rather than support a reactionary Republican candidate or subscribe to a narrow, stand pat platform. “The time is at hand when the re- sponsible leaders of the Progressive ,party should declare, in no uncertain words, what they propose to do in the national campalgn of 1916. This is no time to temporize to fitnesse, to ... play the dog in the manger. gressives and Republicans into a solid anti-Democratic bocy should be put ?squarely up to the Republican organ- | ization. No Second Rate Candidate. “The responsible leaders of the Re- publican party shou:d be made to un- derstand, in clear terms, that the nomination of a reactionary or sec- ond rate candidate will widen the breach of 1912 and insure the elec- tion of President Wilson and the con- trol of Congress by the Southern De- mocra They should be told frank- | 1y, that if the Republican leaders force | 4ipon the country a reactionary candi- date the Progressive organization will | put into the field a straight ticket which Progressives of all parties can consistently vote for. i “This is not the time to adopt a | middle of the road platform, or to waste effort in the serious considera- < tion of ‘favorite sons.’ Grave dan- gers threaten the country, both in do- mestic and international affairs. Preparation for war is essential, but preparedness in industry is of equal importance. Enormous business dif- ficulties are ahead of us at the ex- | piration of the war. To take the tariff out of politics. through the crea- 4ion of a Tariff Commission, is abso- lutely essential to the welfare of both | labor and capital. Above all we must recreate a virile and consistent foreign policy that will re-establish our respectability and rank among the nations of the world. These and other great questions make it imperative that past political dif- ferences and petty feuds be put aside and that the progressives lead the way to unite the anti-democratic forces in nominating a candidate courageous gnough, able enough, patriotic enough, for the herculean task that the next president will have to face. Hughes or Roosevelt. “There are two men, and two only, who have a ghost of a chance to de- feat President Wilson next November -+Justice Hughes and Col. Roosevelt. Either would be acceptable to the great majority of progressives; either would be satisfactory to the rank and file of the republican party “Mr. Hughes as Governor of New York, was independent, efficient and courageous. Undoubtedly he wouid vmake a great president. There are | some, however, who feel as he evi- dently does, that a Supreme Court Justice should not step from the bench to a political fight. “There are others who realize that Mr. Hughes’s opinions on the issucs that will be paramount at the next election are unknown. It may be that e believes in President Wilson's Mex- ican European, tariff for revenue only, busine: persecuting policies, and, if he does his nomination would obviously be an absurdity. However, Justice Hughes is a strong man and gndoubtedly would be supported by progressives and republicans alike. “Theodore Roosevelt was a grent president, a strong executive, who called to his cabinet the ablest men of that time. First of all he is & pa- ‘riotic and loyal American. At all times, under all circumstances, he has | hit hard for Americanism, for na- tional honor and for our national re- sponisibility in the work of the world. Had he been president during the past three years the crimes done n Mexico would have been the Lusitania would have been aflo.at and our rank among the nations of world nothing to be ashamed of. N Only Belgian Pleader. “Col. Roosevelt is the only promi- aent public man who has protested offectively and openly against the :rime of Belgium, the rape of Ameri- zan women in Mexico and the murder of American citizens on the ocean. chusetts to George ' received 116,000 votes, and again | Republican | more than two | The re- | sponsibility for failure to unite Pro- | | ville.—The averted |} | other public men have ducked ana | dodged and played the coward. He has swept aside all shams and called « |spade a spade. | “While giving due praise to the | German people for the economic re- | sults accomplished in the last genera- tion, he has condemned in no meas- { ured terms their militant bureaucracy |that has ridden roughshod | treaties and promises. He has mnot heen stopped by the fear of losing CGerman-American votes, but ‘has i stood four square to every wind that | brew.’ | “Theodore Roosevelt is known ! Wworld-wide as an exponent of national patriotism and he above any other man can make a real fight against the | democratic administration. He can- 'not only unite the progressives and i republicans, but he will get many democrats who, under no conceivable condition, would follow any other re- publican candidate. 1 “Theodore Roosevelt for president, slihu Root for secretary of state! | What a sigh of relief and confidence | would come from every section of the country. I repeat—put it up to the republican leaders. If they refuse to see, if they decline to act, then the responsibility for another democratic | victory will be theirs, | “CHARLES SUMNER BIRD.” | Perkins Upholds Bird, { New York, Jan. 4—With the pro- | gressive national committee sched- uled to meet next Thursday in Chicago ‘o fix the place and date for a na- tional convention of the party, the effort of some of the leaders to force ! the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt | hy the republicans has begun to take Gefinite shape. H Not only did it become known ves- | terday that George W. Perkins had | within the last few days sent to pro- | gressive leaders throughout the | country a letter extolling the Colonel 1and describing him as the one Ameri- | can statesman in whom the people have have confidence, but Mr. Per- ns gave out a letter of similar pur- port addressed to him by Charles Sumner Bird of Massachuset de- manding that the responsibility for umalgamating the two parties be put squarely up to the republicans. Has Large Following. Mr, Bird is the former leader and candidate of the Bay State progres- sives for governor and has a large fol- lowing in that state. Mr. Perkins said with reference to the letter he had sent out about the colonel that he merely wanted to di- rect attention to the fact that the { principles for which the ex-president had stood four years ago were coming generally to be accepted, as evidenced by recent editorial com- ment. Tt would be improper for Mr. Perkins as chairman of the commit- tee, he said, to announce any prefer- now i ence at this time. All members of the progressive national committee will be he guests of Mr. Perkins at a dinner next Mon- ay. Some speeches to be made, it was said yesterday, would be rather definite as to forms of peace and would follow more or less the lines of the Bird letter. Tnterest is added to this occasion because Chairman Hilles and the republican sub-committee on convention mrangements are to meet in Chicago cn Friday and will un- doubtedly be within earshot of the progressive powwow when it takes place. Amuses Progressives,. The invitation in the republican convention call for all those who be- lieve in republican principles to come back and help clect delegates seemed to amuse Mr. Perkins, Bainbridge Colby and other progressives. “It is only natural,” said Mr, Per- kins, “that people who once got you into a game and then played with stacked cards want you to come in again.” Mr. Colby said that he thought the progressives would be inclined to stick to their own primaries in the spring. AMERICAN CONSUL’S REQUEST REFUSED Franco-British Authorities Decline to Vacate Buildings of Teutons Under Arrest. erlin, Jan. 4, by Wireles: Overseas News to Say- Agency According to the Corriere Della Sera of Milan, John E. Kehl, Ameri- can consul at Saloniki, who is caring | for the interests of Austria, Germany, Bulgaria and Turkey there, has called upon the Franco-British authorities to vacate the buildings of the consuls who have been arrested. Mr, Kehl's request was refused. “It is also reported that among the other Germans and Austrians arrest- | ed at Saloniki, numbering about one thousand, are the headmaster of a German school and several women.” GEN.

It was very itchy and I had to scratch it which made it burn like fire, and. the skin was sore and inflamed. When my clothing would rub against it, it caused jtching and burning which was very uncom= fortable and I had no rest at night, for after going to bed I would go to sleep for a few moments only to be waked up again. “I let the rash go for about a week when T used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After the first application they seemed to stop the burning and after I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and four cakes of Cuti- cura Soap I was healed.” (Signed) Wm. C.
