WILSON 7 D GE 7.
REPUBLICAN
BACKING
LaFoIIette Declares Both Parties
Are Back of President in
Mexican Crisis.
Continued From Page I.

Wilson had conducted the affairs Of
office in the short time he has been
the chief executive. He laid the Dem
ocratic victories Of Tuesday largely
to the feeling Of the people that the
Presidency was being well admins
tered in Washington
Touching on affairs in Mexico, ths
Senator declared that Wilson proba-
bly, would have the support OF prac-
tically all the Senators and Repre-
sentatives regardless of party in the
event that drastic action is neces-
sary in disciplining Huerta and his
followers across the border.
The President has the confidence
OF both parties in his handling of
this delicate situati ln," he said. I'VE
may differ on matters of domestic
concern, but when 1t comes to facir-
the enemies OF our country, we are
as one man. There was some criti-
cism among the Republicans at one
time on the ground that Wilson was
not sufficiently aggressive, but this
complaint has disappeared"
Tammany Defeat Brings Joy.
LaFollette was delighted with the
overthrow Of Tammany in New York
He had just read the complete re-
turns Of the election in the afternoon
papers.
That certainly was a rebuke for
the Murphy gangsters." he observed.
Il hope they have turned Tammany
out for good and all. but one never
can tell. The decisiveness of the de-
feat would seem to indicate that the
New Workers had destroyed the Tam
many oligarchy. and that it would
never get back into power. 1t is to
be hoped that the reform is perma-
nent."
LaFollette in his address Wednes-
day night in the Tabernacle Audito-
rum told gra phically of his fight with
the political bosses in Wisconsin, and
of how, after struggle of many
years, he had routed the corruption
lists, He declared that he was spread
ing the gospel of real progressivism
and that he proposed to make the
South his field for some months. H.
was In Atlanta under the auspices Of
the Aqkahest Lyceum System.

Adams and Jefferson were political
enemies. When jefferson was inaugu-
rated his predecessor did not even wait
TO receive him In 1926 Mr.. Adams
feeling his growing infrmities, hoped
that he might live to see the fiftieth
anniversary Of the nation The hope
was realized. and it seemed as though.
being thus gratitied, the great intellect
Of the Revolution cared not to i've
throughout the day. He expired before
noon, almost his last words being:
"And Thomas Jefferson still sur.

Jefferson did survive, but only for
Few hours He. too, had been desirous
Of living for the semicentennial ami

Ill and fragile that it was not expected
he would hold so long. The morning of

however. and with a satisfied look
upon his face the author Of the Dec.
laration soon passed away.
Neither Adams nor jefferson knew of
the death of the other on the same day.
for communication was slow then
Five years after the death OF Adams |
and Jefferson another ex-president,
James Monroe, passed away on the
Fourth Of July. He was a resident of
New York. and, like Jefferson, was al
most in abject poverty at the time of
lis death. He had been living the life
u a recluse, humiliated both by finan-
'ial embaEFassments and the misfOr-
unes Of his family. He died on the
Fourth Of July, 1881. !
