"VOTE AS AMERICANS"—" FOR WILSON, SAYS EDISON. No Time Now to Try an Inexperienced Man, Declares Inventor, Lauding President. By GEORGE CREEL. "Times are too serious to talk in • terms of Republicanism or Democracy. Parties are all right —reckon we've got to have them with our system of gov ernment But when it's America that's at stake men have got to vote as Americans, and not as Democrats or Republicans." * This is the message to the American people that Thomas A. Edison gave to me in a recent interview. •This man Wilson has had a mighty bard time of it," he continued. "I don't believe there was ever a presi dent who had as many big questions to decide. They have come in bunches. He hasn't always pleased me, just as I sippose he hasn't always pleased I it ' W THOMAS A. EDISON. other people, but when you look the record over It's so good that criticism comes close to being nothing more than cheap fanlt finding.

President .Wilson's Mexican policy has been wise and J oat and courageous. "Belgium) Hindsight! In the light of two years it's easy to say what should have bean done. But at the time not a single paper or a peblk* man even thought of anything but keeping the United States out of the European horror. "Tariff? There's another proof of Wilson's openness of mind. No matter what he thought abont the Underwood law. he liad the courage to admit that the European war had returned the tariff to the province of discussion. So he came to the front with his prop osition for a tariff commission. That's sense. The tariff is a scientific affair, not political at aIL A tariff commis sion will lift the whole business out of politics. "As I said nt the start, it hae just been one big thing after another with Wilson, « "Look at the threatened general rail road strike. Why, if carried through, such a strike would have thrown the whole country into confusion. "In my opinion, Mr. Hughes, if Pres ident, would have found it difficult to decide on the best course for the Gov ernment to take in such matters. His capacity for hindsight, as we learn from his speeches, is highly developed, but as to his foresight, we are not equally well informed. "They say Wilson has blundered. Perhaps he has. But I notice that he usually blunders forward. "Mr. Wilson now has had about four years of experience, and I think that he has earned faith and trust. I do not think it a sensible thing to change to an inexperienced and untried man. Therefore, I am for Woodrow Wilson." EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. It would be impossible to convince any Republican politician that either Dun or Bradstreet reflects business prosperity or indicates what the future has in store for business. Henry Ford, a Republican, believes In Peace. Prosperity and Progress and will vote for the man who has given all three to the country—Woodrow Wil son. Wilson's good enough for Dr. Charles W. Eliot, Richard H. Olney, Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford, Ben Lindsey, Ida Tarbell and a host of other distin guished men and women, tfut Gilford Pinchot and Huerta's friend, Henry Lane W T ilson, don't like him a little bit.

CRISIS FOR NATION'S TOILERS. What the laborer didn't see under the Republican regime was that High Tariff does not regulate wages, but makes it possible for the manufacturer to so regulate prices that he can con trol labor. The farmer, with hia char acteristic self-reliance and naturally in dependent spirit, asked no favors. All he wanted was an equal chance with other business men. Wilson saw the farmers' interests in a big way. 1 A Voter's Catechism D. Have you read the Consti tntion of the United States? R. Yes. D. TVhat form of Government is this? R. Republic. ID.

Tbe MuraJ Credits Act alone, of more flhan a 4ommi big things this Demo cratic Congress did for agriculture, gave greater direct benefits to the farmers than any legislation enacted since the creation of the Department ©f Agriculture a generation ago. There came a time when the laborer saw that his labor was a commodity, a thing to be bought and sold, or re strained or enjoined by the unwarrant •d issuance of injunction writs in Fed eral courts; he saw that he did not have the right—guarsnteed to him by our constitution— of voluntary association for his ewn protection and welfare; in short he saw that he was a wage-slave! He eaw that he was up against Cap ital —organized and entrenched behind the Powerful Pull of the Political Bosses of the Republican High Finance Gang, and Organzed Capital fought to - prevent the Organization of Labor! What did Labor demand? Merely this: That labor be made part of the national councils; that its patriotism be conceded; and that its knowledge of Its own needs give it paramount voice in legislation directly and peculiarly af fecting its own rights. And what has been the spirit of this Democratic Administration? Let Sam uel Gompers, President of the Ameri can Federation ©f Labor, tell; w ln my experience with United States Congresses during two score years 1 have net seen anything like the fine spirit toward labor, toward the rights and welfare of ail the people, pervad ing all tbe branches of the Wilson ad ministration.
