But measures can only be put into force through the men in office. We must there- pa make a choice of the man and men who will put the measures in orce. In the first place we should guard against Wall Street influences again securing the control of our Government. They have been rooted out during the last four years, and they are working hard to get back The eight-hour day should be extended to all our industries where possible. Women should be given the rights which in justice belong to them. For years the argument has had some force with me that women should be discouraged from working in factories and stores, and hence they have been discriminated against in wages, but I have slowly come to the settled conviction that this practice has been unfair, because equal work deserves equal pay. Hence, all women in our em- ployment who do equal work shall receive equal pay I regard war as the greatest curse of mankind—that it has done more to retard the progress of the race and its material well-being than any other single cause. We want to see war abolished and we believe it can be done, and we must try to choose the man for the head of our Nation who will do the most for these ends. ALTHOUGH NOMINALLY A REPUBLICAN ALL MY LIFE, I AM FOR WILSON, AND URGE MY FELLOW CITIZENS TO STAND FOR HIM, BECAUSE OF HIS POSITION ON THESE AND OTHER GREAT QUESTIONS, BECAUSE HE HAS KEPT US OUT OF WAR AND HAS DONE MUCH TO BRING ABOUT THE REMARKABLE PROSPERITY WHICH WE ENJOY, AND BECAUSE WALL STREET IS AGAINST HIM. He is entitled to be rewarded for his great service to mankind, and the only way we can reward him is by giving him the opportunity to be of still greater service. The greatest reward for doing a good thing is the privilege to do more, that is why Mr. Wilson wants to be re-elected; in other words, to be paid for what he has done by the privilege of doing more. I have much admiration for Mr. Hughes personally, but he is sur- rounded, influenced and advised by nearly all the evil influences of selfishness and greed which I feel have retarded our progress for so long. I fear his election would restore the old crowd to power and put back the cause of humanity for fifty years In my mind, the most undesirable citizen in the world is the man who will buy another man’s vote, and the next most undesirable is the man who will sell his vote—because he not only injures himself and his family, but the community at large I AM FOR MR. WILSON BECAUSE WITH A WORLD AT WAR HE HAS KEPT US OUT OF WAR. ALL OTHER GREAT NATIONS ARE BEING CONSUMED AND DESTROYED BUT WE HAVE PEACE WITH HONOR, AND OUR BOYS ARE AT I: this great crisis of our country I am more interested in measures HOME. SPECIAL INTERESTS ARE DEMANDING WAR AND THE PRESIDENT IS BEING CRITICIZED WITH MANY WORDS, BUT STRIPPED OF ALL UNNE SARY WORDS, THEIR REAL COMPLAINT IS THAT HE HAS NOT PLUNGED THE COUNTRY INTO WAR FOR THEIR PROFIT. There has been much talk of the attitude of the so-called “hy- phenates.” To my mind these are merely sentimental Americans, men and women, who, like myself, have a feeling of love for the place of their birth. My observation has shown that among the best of Ameri- cans are these citizens. To all these let me say: I know from many conversations with Mr. Wilson his absolute neutrality among all the nations at war, his intense devotion to peace, his deep desire to serve all the peoples of all those countries impartially. Any single @ct apparently against any one of these countries, is made only in pursuance of his duty as President of the United States and his duty to mankind. I know positively he bears no ill will to Germany or to England, or France, or Austria, or any of those countries at war, but he does under- By HENRY FORD stand and is opposing that invisible government, that unseen hand which caused the war. I believe those same selfish forces that caused the war are opposing the President's re-election. 1 AM FOR WILSON because he caused to be passed a large num- ber of wise and humane laws, most of which had been promised by the politicians of both parties for many years without fulfillment No one class has been favored, no one disregarded. He has served the United States as a whole. Among these laws are: THE FEDERAL RESERVE LAW, which wrested from Wall Street its monopoly of finance, released credit, forbade usury and dis- pelled the fear of money panics which hung over every business. It has done away with the concentration of money in the hands of a few men in Wall Street, and distributed it among twelve Government con- trolled reserve banks throughout the country. The passage of this law alone, from the viewpoint of the honest business man, should entitle Woodrow Wilson to re-election. THE EIGHT-HOUR LAWS—The eight-hour day issue has sud- denly sprung into great prominence. I say to you from experience and not from guess work, that the eight-hour day will help both employers and employees. We have had the eight-hour day in force in the Ford factory for nearly three years and it has been a complete success from every point of view. I AM FOR WILSON because he favors the eight-hour day. The President has declared that he is in favor of the eight-hour day in all kinds of business, except a very few in which it is impracticable, as for instance, farming The President has been criticised for the passage of the Adamson eight-hour law, which applies to railroads, but the law averted the wholesale ruin which a universal railway strike would have brought. A strike had been ordered. It meant the closing of factories, violence and the enforced idleness of millions of persons and the loss of millions of dollars. Neither side to the struggle took into consideration the one hundred million people who would have to bear the burden. Every business man in the country was trembling with fear. The President acted as the representative of all the people and the strike was prevented and the principle of an eight-hour day endorsed. Seventy-four Repub- lican Congressmen voted for the bill and no word of protest came from the Republican candidate, although the law was under consideration for several days. Mr. Wilson showed great wisdom and courage in preventing this strike, which would have paralyzed the nation. The Commission which has been appointed to study the effect of this law will, I hope, report that with increased efficiency the railroads will not need higher rates. But in any case this action is, I believe and hope, the first step towards the government ownership and operation of railroads. THE RURAL CREDITS LAW, under which the farmer is enabled to borrow long time loans on small payments, at low rates of interest; and it promises an annual saving of $150,000,000 to farmers who were formerly the hopeless victims of loan sharks. These rural credit banks are now being established by the Commission in various parts of the country. THE CHILD LABOR LAW, which prevents employment of young children in factories and stops the coining of dividends out of the lives of little children. There is no factory and no institution that can pos- sibly give any care equal to a mother’s care. A WISE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION LAW, providing com- pensation to those injured while in the service of the government, which measure will lead to “safety first.” THE LAW CREATING THE NON-PARTISAN TARIFF COM- MISSION, which will go into effect very soon, and which has taken the tariff out of politics and placed it in the hands of a commission of dif- ferent parties, so that tariffs can be altered as conditions change. THE GOOD ROADS LAW, which provides $75,000,000 for im- proving highways throughout the United States under adequate safe- guards, which will facilitate transportation. This will help the country feed the city. The farmer will be greatly benefitted by not being compelled to waste his energies on bad roads. Fruits and vegetables today are rot- ting on the farms from lack of good roads. THE INCOME TAX LAW AND THE INHERITANCE TAX LAW, which readjust the burdens of taxation, compelling the wealthy to bear a fair share of the load which has hitherto rested all too heavily on the backs of the poor. THE AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION LAW, which provides an annual appropriation for the direct education of the farmer, in order that the farms of the land may be worked with greater efficiency and upon a sound and scientific basis and produce larger crops for the bene- fit of all our people. THE ALASKAN RAILWAY LAW, which provided a railroad built and operated by the government, and which has opened up the resources of that great territory in the interests of the PEOPLE, not for the benefit of the few. THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION LAW, which creates a non-partisan Board to arbitrate commercial disputes, to prevent unfair competition and to stand as a barrier between the consumer and ex- tortion. THE GRAIN ANTI-GAMBLING LAW, which provides better grain storage facilities, and enables the farmer to obtain certificates on which loans may be secured. He is thus enabled to borrow on the prod- ucts of his labor—and is not compelled to sell during unfavorable times. THE SAFETY-AT-SEA LAW, through the passage of which ships now carry more life-saving equipment, and the general living con- ditions of sailors at sea have been improved. THE COTTON FUTURES LAW, which prevents gambling in cotton in stock exchanges and establishes standards for cotton. I hope the President will find some way to pass a law to prevent all specula- tion in stocks, THE CLAYTON ANTI-TRUST LAW, which does away with interlocking directorates, prevents railway looting, ends the abuse of the injunction, and declares the great truth that a “Man’s labor is not a commodity but a part of his life.” THE ABOVE RECORD OF PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION in the interest of all the people and not of the few, far excels any ever before known in our history. THOMAS A. EDISON SAYS THAT PRESIDENT WILSON AND HIS COLLEAGUES IN CONGRESS, BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, HAVE ENACTED MORE LAWS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE INDUSTRIOUS PEOPLE IN THE PAST THREE YEARS THAN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS IN ALL THE TIME IT WAS IN POWER; and it is because of these laws and his leadership in the interest of all the people that the President is being fought by the special interests, by every master of Wall Street, every monopolist, every munition maker, every man with a special interest to serve. No business man should oppose Wilson because Wilson is the greatest friend honest business ever had in the White House. GREAT PROSPERITY COVERS THE LAND AS NEVER BE- FORE, LEGITIMATE ENTERPRISE IS ASSURED A PROPER REWARD. THERE ARE NO BREAD LINES, AND EVERY- BODY IS EMPLOYED THAT WANTS TO BE. OUR PEOPLE ARE CONTENTED, PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY. WHY SHOULD WE MAKE A CHANGE? In order to carry out his work, President Wilson will need the co- operation of a Congress thoroughly in accord with his own far-seeing policy. It is our plain duty as voters to send back to Congress the right men, irrespective of party, to assist the President in the great tasks that face him, anti-hyphenism and | political history as an example of stupidity long to be remembered. * and lost no o¢-/the real management of campaign tly unwill-|of the “old guard” as Frank Hiteh+ constant | cock, Boles Penrose, Joe Kealing, p tition of his Belgian, Lusitania | Jim Heminway, Winthrop Murray speeches |Crane, Reed Smoot and William Roose-| progressive leaders in the Westy | velt is an asset or a lability.
