THE JEFFERSON1AN, TOWSON, MARYLAND
Saturday, October 11, 1924—Page 7
DR. HARRY GARFIELD, PRESIDENT OF WILLIAMS' COLLEGE TELLS WHY HE'S FOR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.
Says He's More Than Dissatisfied With Action And Attitude Of Republican Party During Last Four Ye.ars—Is Also Against Tariff Act.
f (Continued from Page 1) powerful influence all over the country wherever it takes a stand.
La Follette and Wheeler of the Independent party, are daily pouring hot shot into the Coolidge Administration, and in the past week we had the unusual, indeed, unprecedented spectacle of seeing thousands crowding into Madison Square Garden, New York City, and paying an admission fee of fifty cents to hear La Follette speak.
Senator Brookhart of the corn bloc in the West, has come out openly against the Republican ticket, and he says the entire West is in revolt against him.
News from the Pacific Coast is most gratifying to us. The oil scandals, mean much to the Pacific Coast people. The great steal of 'Tea Pot Dome" in Wyoming, and the other reservation in California are very close to home to them and they resent it.
One of the most influential recruits we have had in the East is Dr. Harry A. Garfield, president of Williams' College. Dr. Garfield is a son of the lamented President James A. Garfield, and was a United States Fuel Commissioner during the World War. Indicating that he would support Mr. Davis, Dr. Garfield gives his reasons. They should be carefully read by every citizen who has any doubt about how he should vote in this important campaign, and we give them as he gave them to the press. "My reasons are briefly these," said Dr. Garfield:
"In the first place, the attitude of Mr. Davis concerning our foreign relations and obligations seems to me unimpeachably sound. We cannot, if we would, isolate ourselves and we are under the most solemn obligations to do our part in establishing peace and good will among the nations. Our boys did not go abroad to help any group of men or any nation to impose its selfish will on others. They went over to help realize the high ideals that Woodrow Wilson held up before them.
"I well remember a conversation on a summer day at Fortress Monroe in 1918. A group of young officers about to go overseas gathered about me, thinking I could be of aid in answering a question pressing upon them. The question was summed up in this: 'Does the Government at Washington really intend to follow the high ideals of President Wilson? If it does, we are prepared to make whatever sacrifice is necessary, but if the war is fought for the selfish benefit of any group of people, even our own nation, we are not for it.'
"We owe it to ourselves not to prove false to the spirit which actuated these men.
"But I shall support John W. Davis because I am more than dissatisfied with the action and attitude of the Republican party during the last four years. Granting all that ought to be said in common justice for those who have been charged with corruption, it remains true that the party leaders cannot explain away the failure of the party and its representatives faithfully to administer the Government of the United States during the last four years. TVey do not come before as with clean hands. I have not liked the spectacle of the 'rush for the trough.'
"It seems to me that there has been an inexcusable attitude of indifference on the part of the Administration to the scandals which have afflicted it. Public office is indeed a public trust and the party that proves itself indifferent ought no longer to be intrusted with the powers of Government.
"Also, I wholly disagree with the the principles, or lack of them, underlying the Fordney-McCumber Tariff act, whether one regards it from a standpoint of international cooperation of the well-being of our farmers and laborers.
"Some may ask why one whose early associations were so strongly Republican should abandon the party in this campaign. I do not believe that I am abandoning it, but rather that the party has abandoned the principles for which it once stood. I believe that name is nothing and substance everything, so I support that leader and that party, under whatever name, which best expresses, and which I think will most likely carry out, the liberal convictions which I hold."
Isn't it a manly statement—that portion of it which says: "It seems to me that there has been an inexcusable attitude of indifference on the part of the Administration to the scandals which have afflicted it," and should appeal to every citizen who believes in a fairly decent administration of Governmental affairs. What does the President say to this Ion gindictment against him an dhis party? Absolutely nothing. He has been and is silent. Are you, Mr. Voter, satisfied with silence?
