The co-eds of the University of
Omaha are more than enthusiastic
over politics just now. For the last
three weeks they have been discus
sing the presidential candidates in a
way that would convince the listener.
They are real firm in their opinions
and the boy who used to boast that
he could change his lady friend's de
cision would encounter unexpected
opposition at the present time.
The organizations were completed
during the early part of this week.
Both the Hughes and Wilson clubs
elected their leaders. Miss Verna
Jones and Miss Lillian Henderson
were chosen to fill the respective po
sitions. The co-ed politicians are

work he has accomplished while in

speakers and debates. ..
Although these two political lead
ers of the fair sex are not ardent
suffragettets, for they are two of the
prettiest students of the university,
yet if they succeed in creating and

political spirit which they themselves
display, by the time they become old
enough to vote the men will be com
pelled to give them the ballot.

IN this great crisis of our country I tun more interested in meas
ures than in men, I am not interested in parties at all. But
measures can only be put into force through the men in office.
We must therefore make a choice of the man and men who
, will put the measures in force. '
, In 0ie first place we should guard against Wall Street influ
ences 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. -t '
The eight-hour day should be extended to all our industries
where possible. Women should be given the rights which in just
ice belongs to them. For years the argument has had some force
with me that women should be discouraged from working in fac
tories 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 employment who do equal
work shall receive equal pay.
I regard war its 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 abol
ished 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 fori
these ends. "
ALTHOUGH NOMINALLY A REPUBLICAN ALL MY
LIFE, I AM FOR WILSON, AND URGE MY FELLOW CITI
ZENS 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. . ..v..
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 oppor
tunity 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
surrounded, influenced and advised by nearly all the evil influ
ences 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" unde
sirable is the man who will sell his votebecause he not only in
jures 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
HOME. SPECIAL INTERESTS ARE DEMANDING WAR AND
THE PRESIDENT IS BEING CRITICIZED WITH MANY
WORDS. BUT STRIPPED OF ALL UNNECESSARY 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
By HENRY FORD
, place of their birth. My observation' has shown that among the
. best of Americans are these citizens. ,
To all these let me says 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 peo
ples of all those countries impartially. Any single act 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 man-
" kind.
I know positively he bears no ill will to Germany or England,
or France, or Austria, or any of those countries at war, but he
does understand and is opposing that invisible government, that
unseen hand which caused this war. I believe those same selfish
forces that caused the war are opposing the President's re
election. . I AM FOR WILSON because he caused to be passed a large
number of wise and humane laws, most of which had been prom
ised by the politicians of both parties for many years without ful
fillment. 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
dispelled the fear of money panics which hung over every busi
ness. 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 controlled reserve banks throughout the
country. The passafts 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
suddenly sprung into great prominence.
I say to you from experience and not from guess work, that
the eight-hour day will help both employer 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 A cl
am son eight-hour law, which applies to railroads, but that 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
- Republican Congressmen voted for the bill and no word of pro
test came from the Republican candidate, although the law was
under consideration for several days.
Mr. Wilson showed great wi.dom and courage in preventing this strike,,
which would have paralysed the nation. f
The Commission wMen has bee appointed to study the f reel ! AU Uw
will, I hope, report that with increased efficiency the railroads will net need
higher rates. But in any ease this action it, I believe and nope, the first step
towards the government ownership and operation of railroads.
THE RURAL CREDITS LAW, under which the farmer i. enabled to bor
row long time loans on tmell payment., at low rates of interest) and It prom
itet an annual saving of $180,000,000 to farmara who were formerly the hope
less victims of loan, sharks. These rural credit banks are now being established
by the Commission1 in various parte of the country. ,
THE CHILD LABOR LAW, which prevent, employment of young chil
dren in factories and stops the coining of dividends out of the Uvea of little
children. There it no factory nod aw Institution that can possibly give any
care equal to a mother's care. . N '
A WISE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION LAW, pravidingpnipoasation
to those injured while in the service of the government, which mea.ure will
'"tHe'lAW CREATING THE NON-PARTISAN TARIFF COMMISSION,
which will go into effect Tory toon, and which hat taken the tariff out of
politics and placed it in the hands of commiaiion of different parties, to that
tariff, can be altered at condition! change. '
THE GOOD ROADS LAW, which providea $75,000,000 for Improving '
highways throughout the United States under adequate safeguard., which will
facilitate transportation. This will help th country feed the city. i
The farmer will be greatly benefited by not being compelled to watte kit
energies on bad roads. Fruits and vegetables today are rotting on the farms
from lack of good road.. i
THE INCOME TAX LAW AND THE INHERITANCE TAX LAW,
which readjust the burdens of taxation, compelling the wealthy to bear fair
ahare of the load which has hitherto retted all too heavily on the backs of
the poor, .
THE AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION LAW, which provide, an annual
appropriation for the direct education of the farmer, in order that tha farmt
of the land may be worked with greater' efficiency and upon tound and'
tcientifie ba.it and produce larger crops for the benefit of all our people.
THE ALASKAN RAILWAY LAW, which provided a railroad built and
operated by the government, and which hat opened up the retourcet of that
great territory in the interettt of the PEOPLE, not for the benefit of the few.
THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION LAW, which ereatet a non-par-titan
Board to arbitrate commercial dispute!, to prevent unfair competition '
and to stand as a barrier between the eon.umer and extortion.
THE GRAIN ANTI-GAMBLING LAW, which provides better grain stor
age facilities, and enables the farmer to obtain certificates on which leant
may be secured. He it thus enabled to borrow on the products of hit labor
end L not compelled to .ell durin'( unfavorable time..
THE SAFETY.AT-SEA LAW, through the paatage of which thipt now '
carry more life-taving equipment, and the general living conditions of tailors
t tea have been improved.
THE COTTON FUTURES LAW, which prevents gambling in cotton In
stock exchangee and establishes standards for cotton. I hope the president
will find some way to pate a law to prevent all speculation in stock..
THE CLAYTON ANTI-TRUST LAW, which does away with interlock
ing directorates, preventt railway looting, ends the abuse of the injunction,
and declares the great truth that a "Man's labor it not a commodity but a
pert of hit life."
THE ABOVE RECORD OF PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION in the in
terest of ell the people and not of the few, far eacelt 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 INDUS
TRIOUS PEOPLE IN THE PAST THREE YEARS THAN THE REPUBLI
CAN PARTY HAS IN ALL THE TIME IT WAS IN POWER) and it b be
cause of these laws and bit leadership in the interest of ell the people that
the president it being fought by tha tpecial interettt, by every matter of Wall
Street, every monopolist, every munition maker, every man with a special
interest to serve. No businett man should oppose Wilton because Wilton it
the greatest friend honest businett ever had in the White Houte..
