MOOSE LEADERS MAKE
PLEA FOR HUGHES
[Continued From First Page]
———————— j
all Progressives to vote for Hughes j
and his Republican colleagues. The |
letter is as follows:
No loubt you have noticed the
prominence the Democratic pa
pers have civen the few endorse
ments of Wilson by former Pro
gressives. They try to have the
large number of real Progressive
voters believe that these few iso
j lated eases represent the senti
ment of the Progressive Party,
| when, in reality, it is only the
sentiment of a small number
who always had a leaning toward
the Democratic Party. We have
enough faitli in our fellow-Pro
gressives to believe they cannot !
endorse the weak, pledge-break
ing, vaccilliating, administration
of the Democratic Party. Pro
gressives do not hold pledge-giv
ing lightly, nor do we favor say
ing one thing and meaning an
other. The memory of Wilson's
broken pledges, among which
may be mentioned "Reduction i
of the high cost of living," "An
economical administration," "The
exemption from tolls of Ameri
can ships engaged in coastwise
trade passing through the Pana
ma Canal," etc., are still fresh in
our minds. Also his meaning
less! bombastic terms of "Strict
accountability," "Spare no word
or act," "The rights of American
citizens" (meant for home con
sumption only) still linger fresh
in our memories. Is tills, then,
the kind of a record tha Progres
sives, true to Progressive prin
ciples, can consistently endorse?
Can it be doubted that our great
leader, Theodore Roosevelt, really
believed, as he stated, tliat four
more years of Wilson would be a
National calamity? The nomi
nation of Mr. Justice Huglies was
acceptable to the great body of
Progressive voters in the Nation.
A majority of our former Nat
ional and State leaders liavc en
dorsed him. He was not the
choice of the reactionary ele
ment, now hopelessly In the min
ority, and has proven that he is
a real I'rogretislve, by appointing
real Progressives on his campaign
committee. We, as Progressives,
feel tluit the country needs a
strong, courageous man for Presi
dent, and Mr. Wilson is not that
kind of a man. He has, in un
numbered ways shown himself
temperamentally unlit for the
position which he now occupies. |
He is n man who neither says
what he means, nor does what he
says. He has straddled every ser
ious issue, and, as expediency
prompted, has repudiated his
principles.
We feel tliat it is with those
very things which Mr. Wilson
lacks, that Mr. Huglies is so pre
eminently endowed, and for these
reasons we, as Dauphi i County
Progressives, are giving him our
endorsement and support.

AVOID TAKING SIDES
Berlin, Nov. 3, via i_,ondon Nov. •
The German press snows considerable
interest in the upproaehing American
election, printing all available news ar
riving byway of Holland or reprinting
summaries of the situation from old
Kngllsh newspapers. The Catholic or
gan, the "Koelnische Volks Zeltunv" lo
| day devoted a lengthy editorial to m*
i subject, but studiously avoided taking
sides. If the German people at one time,
it says, sided with one of the candi
dates because they assumed that li wau
more friendly to Germany, tney no>C
see their mistake.
