What we are doing here in Maryland

There is not room enough here for three

fate of the Progressive party as such |
am Convinced 1t reached its zenith in
the presidential campaign, in which the
great personality of Col. Roosevelt was
a powerful asset. The Republican party,
with its many years of great men and
great things is great enough to do the
best things that the best thought Of the
great masses makes possible
Former Congressman Schirm was one
of the most powerful supporters of
Theodore Roosevelt last November and
retains all of his progressive principles.
In closing the remarkable address. of
which this is but an extract, he voiced
the opinion that the reunited Republican
party in Maryland would sweep the state.
Another straw to show which way the
wind is blowing is the vote in Michigan.
In the Presidential election the Progress

BACK PRES. IN MEXICAN POLICY,
Vote in Senate to Stick by Him Through the
Crisis==WiII Prepare Message to Con-
gress Relating all Details of Ne
gOtiatiOns of Lind and Huerta.
a MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

Washington, Aug. 21.-President
Wilson was at work. tonight, on a spe-
eial message which he will probably
read tn both houses Of Congress, next
Monday, relating in details the neso.
tiations between his personal repre-
sentative and the Huerta government.
The determination to make state
ment on the situation to Congress
was reached today, after the Presi-
dent had about concluded that the ne
gotiations between Mr.. Lind and Pro-
vlsional President Huerta since the
exchange of notes had developed no
new basis for discussion.
With his message the President will
present the two notes, setting forth
the American suggestions to the HUI
crta government and its reply.
Should he read the document HIM
self which he is being urged to do by
members of his cabinet and which
idea he is strongly inclined, it will be
the first time since the days of George
Washington that a President has COM
munieatcd matter of foreign policy
the government.
While the information from the

it was hoped to accomplish through
a message at this time, there was u
2ell-delined belief in official circles
that President Wilson thinks the read
ing of an address which will lay the
American viewpoint and the Huerta
contentious before the Congress and
people of this country and which also
will be made public to the world gen.
orally, cannot but have an important
effect on the situation in Mexico.

So, 900 to he expended under the di-
rection of the President for that pur-
pose were proposed in a resolution, to-
day, By Senator Penrose. He did not
ask the Senate to pass his resolution,
today, and it went over.
A concerted effort on the part of Re-
pEblicans and Democrats to support
President Wilson in his Mexican poll
cy and to carry to the world the def
mite idea that the President has the
full support of the American people at
once became apparent.
Introduction of the resolution was
followed by a general demand on the
part of the Republicans, seconded by
Chairman Bacon of the foreign rela-
tons committee for a cessation of all
debate and to support President Will
son.
Emphatic and concerted declarations
from senators of both parties of their
confidence in the wisdom and good
faith of the President were plainly an
answer to reports from Mexico that
Huerta was contending that the Pres
ident had a divided Congress and q
divided public opinion behind him.

Senators Lodge, Galllnger, Nelson,
Snoot and other Republicans joined in
a definite expression of thtir belief that
the Senate should give the world no oc-
casion to believe that President Wilson
did not have the confidence and support
of leaders of both parties.

have given such emphatic denial to the
construction some Mexican officials ap-
pear to have put upon conditions, here
