“VOTE AS AMERICANS”—
FOR WILSON, SAYS EDISON
No Time Now to Try an Inexperienced
Man, Declares Inventor, Laud
ing 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
government 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
flie in a recent interview.
“This man Wilson has had a mighty
hard time of it,” he continued, “T don’t

believe there was ever a president
who had as many big questions to
decide. They have come in bunches.
He hasn’t always pleased me, just as
I suppose he hasn’t always pleased
other people, but when you look the
record over. It’s so good that criticism
comes close to being nothing more
than cheap fault finding.
fool or a coward would have had
the United States in aii sorts of
trouble. As it is, we are at peace, the
country was never more prosperous,
and we have the strength that comes
with honor and integrity of purpose.
“Had. we' recognized Huerta, it
would have served notice upon the
world that the United States, while
believing in democracy for home use,
was willing to stand for despotism
where other peoples were concerned.
President Wilson’s Mexican policy has
been wise and just and courageous.
“Belgium? Hindsight! In the light
of two years, it’s easy to say what
should have been done. But at the
time, not a single paper or a public
man even thought of anything but
keeping the United States out of the
European horror.
''As I said at the start, it has just
been one big thing after another with
Wilson. I never have known so many
dangerous questions brought up for de
cision to any one President.
“Look at the threatened general rail
road strike. If carried through, such
a strike would have thrown the whole
country into confusion.
^Mn my opinion, Mr. Hughes, if
President, would have found it difficult
to decide on the best course for the
Government 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 aui for Woodrow
Wilson.”

Primer for Credits Inquiry.
The interest of the American
farmer in the workings of the
new Rural Credits act has grown
so keen that the Farm Loan Board
at Washington is literally swamped
with inquiries as to details of the
new law. More than 100,000 in
quiries already have been received.
To meet this demand the Farm
Loan Board is preparing: a farm
loan primer. This book, which
will be available for wide distri
bution, will tell in simple language
all about the Rural Credits system.
It will be compiled in question-and-
answer form, the questions being
those which the Farm Loan Board
discovered were most asked by the
farmers on its recent trans conti
nental tour.
The book is expected to ba off
the presses in about two weeks.
