COLONEL HARVEY
BOOSTS HUGHES
FORMER WILSON SUPPORTER
SAYS PRESIDENT STANDS FOR
OWN PERSONAL AMBITIONS
Distinguished Editor's Espousal of
Hughes Candidacy a Significant
Campaign Feature
The avowal of the cause of Mr.
Hughes by Colonel George Harvey is
one of the distinct features of the
present campaign. It would be significant in itself that a man of his
prestige, who had always trained with
the Democratic party, had espoused
the cause of the Republican candidate. But in Mr. Harvey's case the
significance is very much greater, as
well as the importance of the event.
He has been not only a Democrat,
but a Wilson Democrat. Moreover,
he was the first man of prominence
to advocate the election of Woodrow
Wilson as President, and for many
years one of the closest friends and
advisers of the present occupant of
the White House.
Mr. Harvey not
only proposed Mr. Wilson for the
Presidency, but as early as 1910 interested United States Senator Smith,
a Democratic leader of New Jersey,
in Mr. Wilson, and this resulted in
the Wilson nomination and election
as Governor of New Jersey.
