Nor DISTURBED by GOMPERs.

@ ANiUEL GOAPERS, president of the American Fed
~ Grafton of Labor, asserts that he largely
sponsibe for the selection by President Wilson OF
venustano Carranza de facto President Of Mexico
In that connection George c. Hill, of the leading
political writer's in the United States says
Are the Republican campaign managers concerned
over Samuel Gompers support OF President Wilson?
They are not. They are more concerned over that
than they are concerned Mr. Gompers support Of
venustiano Carranza.
mfr. Gompers tells us he was largely responsible
for President Wilson's recognition Of Carranza as
President OF Mexico Perhaps he was, but he ought
to be ashamed OF it, When the employees OF the street
railways and electric lighting plant objected to ac-
ceptng peso (paper) worth 10 cents OF United
States money, for days work. Carranza issued a
decree, on August of this year, providing that
man who struck. encouraged a strike or even at
tended meeting Of strikers. or who joined a union
was guilty Of disturbing the public peace and should
be tried by military court-martial and il found guilty
shot Carranzas decree read in part;
The conduct of the laborng union in the present
instance must be considered antpatriotic and Grim
na and constitutes without doubt an attack on the
public peace. In view of the foregoing I have de-
creed the following addition the existing code
Besides the disturbers OF the public peace punishable
by death heretofore described the death penalty
will also be imposed the following: Those who
may incite the suspension OF work in factories or
enterprises destined TO the public service who pre-
side meetings in which it proposed to discuss
or approve such strike, those who assist in these
meetings. and those who endeavor to the strike
effective upon being declared, and those who by
threats force prevent others from rendering their
services TO the companies or enterprises against
which strike is declared
"Mr. Gompers may have made a good president OF
the Federation OF Labor but when IL comes to select
ing presidents Of nations his judgment does not, in
our opinion, deserve much respect. And the Republic
can managers convinced that the workmen OF the
country will appreciate that fact and will be no more
anxious TO support Mr.. Wilson than would Mr. Comp
ers other presidential candidate"
If Carranza is really Gompers president OF Mexico
he is certainly an exceedingly unpopular the
American side Of the line and especially menacing

try studiOusly avoid that public en-
DloymeDt which should be the honor
and ambition of any citizen?
Observe how the men Of real execu-
tive ability make speeches when they
have something to say, where Mr..
Wilson sDakes when he has some
thing to conceal, covering his inepti-
tudes in a cloud of words or ink, even
as the squid discolors the sea water
to escape from his enemies. The late
President McCrea. one of the ablest
executives the Pennsylvania, or any
other railroad, ever had, usually broke
down at the third sentence Of his
speech E. L. Hartman was never
heard in public. and when James J.
Hill made an address he performed
public service.
Instances Ike these could be multi
piled indefinitely. It is the still,
strong man who does the country's
business. Indifferent TO the fact that
he will be misunderstood and malign-
ed. while the frothy orator Will be
hailed with public acclaim where his
sole capital is his mouth.
If Mr.. Wilson be reelected. which
seems inconcevable after his four
year record of futility. evasion and
cowardice. it will be our own fault
and a consequence of our false Ideals.
It is always true, and never more so
than in a democracy like ours, as Her

The Republican party must make
clean sweep in this years elections.
Not only must Hughes be elected. but
a Republican House and Senate must
be chosen with him.
The present prospect is for the ae-
complishment OF all these results. The
electoral college is sure to be Repub-
lican. The gains which we shall make
in the Congressional elections in
few states only assure a Republican
majority in the lower House. To Gain
the Senate is less easy-but it will
be done.
The unhappy division of 1912 came
at an unfortunate time for the Repub-
lioan cause The number of Sena-
torial seats which that year fell va
cant showed a ponderance in Repub-
lican States, where the Republicans
split made an easy and undeserved
success possible for the Democrats
These seats cannot be regained until
1918. and this fact adds to the diff
culties Of Republican campaigning
this time.
This condition. however, is serving
as a spur to Republican activities.
Some of the States which elect Sena-
tors happen to be also highly import
ant by reason of the size Of their cleo
torial vote. New York. New Jersey,
Ohio. Indiana, Missouri California,
Massachusetts, West Virginia and
Connecticut have Senatorial contests
this year. These States carry 40
electoral votes and will choose ten
Senators. six of whom will succeed
Democrats. These are the essential
States from every point of view, Car
rying them, in addition to the other
States where the contest will be less
severe means a clean sweep for Re

"Vox, Ell Praeferea, Wilson
Trom the Wall Street Journai.)

Professor Mather. Of Princeton, an
old colleague of President Wilson,
when he was the head of that univer-
sity, who voted the Democratic ticket
in 1912, publishes what is perhaps the
most lucid summing up Of Mr.. VIII
son uttered by a responsible citizen.
He sums up as follows
"He has verbalized our States
manship, covering alike his slack
ness and timidity as a leader and
his guile as a politician, under
the bewildering Ooze Of incessant
rhetoric BY thus interpOsing
mere phases between US and the
realities of policy and action, he
has Inundated the nation in its
own eyes and before the world,
as a people represented by a
spokesman whose word is not
current coin. but glittering coun-
terfeit."
Is this altogether the fault of Mr..
Wilson. or are we not as a people get
ting what we deserve? DO we not
attach an inordinate value to mere
volubility? Are we not in The habit Of
electing men who are. to naraphrase
the well-knOwn Latin tag at the head
Of this article, voice, and nothing
more?" Is it not our own fault that
we fail to elect men of executive abil-
