MAKES CLEAR
HIS WAR VOTE
CONGRESSMAN FRENCH SENDS
MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF
IDAHO.
Had Been Misrepresented in the News
papers in Relation to His
Position.

| WASHINGTON, May 11.-(SpeciaD =
Representative French today CAV
out the following open letter:
"To the people of Idaho: A fey
of the newspapers of the state hav
published the statement that 1 op
posed sustaining President Wilson il
maintaining American Honor agains
Mexico, and have made such utterl,
untrue assertions that the people ar,
entitled to know the facts.
81 am not quick to believe that an.
newspaper would purposely make {
misstatement and l assume they have
acted in good faith.
What are the Facts9
"On April Goth the house considered
the Flood resolution touching Mexico
When the resolution was reported to
the house by the committee, it struck
me as not tending to promote peace
but war and discord.
1st-I believed that President Wilson
already had all power that tile resolu-
ton conferred and that his exercise of
power would not be regarded as a
declaration of war, but that resolu-
ton of congress in the language used
would be such declaration.
"2nd.-I favored specifically stating
,at ha n
alton of war. voted for the following
amendment: Provided, that nothing
herein contained shall be construed as
declaration of war;
Amazing as it may seem now in
view of the fact that the senate adopted
a similar amendment, the majority of
the house voted this amendment down.
He Voted 'No."
"On the Flood resolution, I voted
mo" as the press reported on April
21st.
"The resolution now went to the
senate. The senate amended house res
"1st-By striking out all mention of
Huerta.
"2nd-By broadening the resolution.
"3rd-By inserting the specific state
ment that the resolution was not dec
aration of war, in the following Ian
suage:
"'Be it further resolved, That the
United States disclaims any hostility to
he Mexican people or any purpose to
make war upon Mexico
''In short, democrats and republicans |

he Flood resolution of the house |
which I had opposed.
"As amended, the senate passed the
on April 21st, some senators
oting against it.
Came Back Amended.
Resolution as amended came back
o house on April 22nd, and it con-
aimed the essential modification that
had stood for on April Goth on the
ouse side. The position that the
ouse had taken after a few hours con-
liberation was so untenable that the
emocrats themselves abandoned it
nd the democratic chairman of the
ouse committee made the motion to
oncur in the senate amendments, and
voted for the resolution with senate
as reported in the press
{ April 22nd.
"This was the resolution that con-
ress passed and which president Will

WASHINGTON Oct. 2l.-Produc-
ton of explosives in the. United States

Withdrew as Candidate,
but Name Stays on Ballot

HARRISBURG, Pa. oct. 21.-Will-
lam Draper Lewis, dean of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania law school.
who withdrew as gubernatorial
nominee of the Washington party in
favor of Vance Mccormick. Demo-
crat, will nevertheless be a candi-
date for election.
This was learned today following
closing of the withdrawal period and
examination of the party lists. Dean
Lewis apparently forgot that he had
been nominated by the Roosevelt
Progressives as well as by the Wash
ingtonians, and his name will appear
upon the ballots as their candidate.
He was nominated with thirty votes
by the Roosevelt Progressives.

tain peace, progress and tranquility
in the United States we must stamp

bring into the light of day that

Department.
If 1t is a question OF going to prison
or hiking those men will hike" said
Mckay.
MCl<ay's plan Is ono which he put into
effect with success when he was at the
head of tho aqucduct police force. Few
police problems presented greater diff
culties than. those which Rhlnelander
waldo and Douglas l. Mckay faced
when they undertook to straighten out
conditions along the line Of the new
aqueduct which Will bring water from
the Catslt.lls 70 New York
In word the problem was this: \
GREAT mass of workers. some Of them
turbulent, suddenly preCipitated on an
upstate countryside ana engaged in Il
public work comparable In importance
with the Panama canal and covering a
far greater territory. The city Of New
York was clearly responsible for what
should occur in the construction Of this
great Improvement. SO the city en-
gagged a corps Of men To watch the
workers and the hangcrson Of the work
camps. Had they been inefficient the
law.cssness OF two dozen mining camps
would not have matched the conditions
along the line Of the new aducduct.
Conditions Were met. You have seen

pollteness TO women IN New York lays
one open to the absurd but deadly sus-
picion of being n white SLAYER" tSccm-
ingly they are supposed TO have the
monopoly of good manners) If one
were polite enough TO thank a shopgrl
for waiting on him she would either
laugh hauehtily in his face or call for
the floor walker to protect her menaced
innocence.
This Is scrupulously exact.
When YOU come To New York--from
whatsoever crossroads of the globe you
may have comc-you expect TO find the
frank, fair open polltcncss which gov
erns the relationship of the sexes in
American life. You know the American
girl-franl. unafraid. high heelcd,
reasonable. who has never seen any
cause to shudder away from the male
half OF humanity She has walked the
white road OF coeducation with fine and
friendly freedom. She expects courtesy
from men. She has never had anything
else.
1t is ell different IN New York. The
relationship between women and mon is
sulhed and sinister. The plays exhibit
ia public the black and hidcous side OF
life-exposing scenes which concern
only the sociologist, the specialist in
medicine or the criminologist. The
newspapers are forced to print dark his
tories of poison needles" or "siavers'
and shacklos. And the heart of the
New York woman is curdled with hys-
terical fear.

boy in buttons whispered: Give me

We were sitting at our table. when
there came across to US a very dignified
old gentleman. who had once held a
municipal office of some Importance. He
was a rosy. CHEEKY old man. full Of
gossip. and we asked him to dine with
us. lie sat down. At that moment a
square jawed waiter came UP and U

old gentleman's shoulder and said,
politely enough, but firmly:
your table is over there"
The old gentleman flushed and smiled

"Tll dine here, waiter" he said.
Always polite. always calm, always
firm, the waiter said i've kept your
