tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LTAarn wiEEi
Washington, Jan. 13.-ln a stirring
debatc today the senate heard sharp
republican attacks upon President
Wilson's recent indianapolis speech,
criticism Of the administration pol
icy toward Mexico and denunciation
of democratic legislation followed by
warm defense Of the president by
democratic leaders, and a prediction
Of his denomination and reelection.
Political discussion was precipi-
tated over Senator Cummins res0lu-
ton requesting information from the
president as to what the government
proposed TO do with Mexican GUS
toms duties collected during the Am
erican occupation of Vera cruz. The
resolution did not get to a vote
win Be Renominated.
In the course of the discussion
Senator John Sharp Williams of Mis-
sissippi, declared with emphasis that
President Wilson would be "re-nomi-
mated and reelected" Senator Bor-
ah Of Idaho was referred to as
republican presidential possibility
and Senator Cummins of Iowa, voiced
the wish that President Wilson could
be confined to the exercise of his
constitutional powers.
Senator Borah delivered a general
broadside against the administration
which reached a climax in an attack
on the chief executives speech at
indianapolis last week with particu-
lar reference to the presidents warn
ing "to men, who should dare to
break the solidarity of the democra-
tic team for any purpose or from
any motive"
Denounces Statement.
The Idaho senator denounced this
statement, comparing it with "the
sole and central principle upon which
any corrupt political machine was
ever organized or put into existence -
He declared it was like the utterances
of "Tom Taggart of Indiana. to his
followers. eighty of whom pleaded
guilty yesterday to the clsme of po-
Htical corruption" and the orders
issued by Murphy to his satellites in
Tammany han to follow the dictate
Of the captain regardless Of the die
tates of conscience or judgment"
1T is a remarkable speech, Sen
gator Borah continued. Its purpose
and purport cannot be mistaken or
misunderstood. 1t is a most virulent
attack upon one of the great politi-
cal parties of this country by the
chief magistrate of the nation, a par
lty In whose traditions millions Of his
lcountrymen take great pride and in
whose policies they devoutly and pa
1 triotically believe. 1t not only chal-
ilenges the wisdom of its leaders but
/ it assails the intelligence and patriot
| ism Of the rank and file. All this
/ is done at time when our country
has sore need OF united wisdom and
/ patriotism when the American peo-
: pie regardless of party have long
1shown patience and forbearanee and
have long rendered support in order
I that a situation most delicate be-
cause Of foreign complications might
not be aggravated. The people we're
not prepared for such a speech al
such a time.
Defines Republican Attitude.
"Mr. President, we accept the chal.
lenge While opposirg no legislation
which we deem to be wise and fol
the public good, we will hold our.
selves perfectly free to oppose in al
proper ways and to the fun exten
Of our ability that which We deem tC
be unwlse. Understanding that oul
chief magistrate prefers the leader
ship Of a party to a chief magistracl
of an entire people. we shall no
need to be reminded Of that fac
again"
Senator Borah appealed for an ex
ira session of congress next spring il
which to pass rural credits leeisla
tion. which he insisted was vastl!
more important than the ship pur
chase bill. The federal reserve act
he characterized as "a sort Of ante
