Campaign - Will Not
Answer Hughes.

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Sept. 29.-
President Wilson mauc it plain to,
night that he wants no "disloyar'
American TO vote for him. He ex-
pressed indignation over telegram
from Jeremiah A. O'Leary, OF New
York. president of the American Truth
Society. accusing him of being pro-
British, and saying he had failed 10
obtain compliance with American
rights. o,,
short telegram, which officials lndl-
Gated Mr.. Wilson had desired to put
in stronger language. His message
follows:
Your telegram received. | would
feel deeply mortified to have you or
ANYBODY like you vote for ME Since
YOU have access to many dlsloyal
Americans and | have not, | Will ask
YOU to convey this message to them.
Mr.. OLeary's telegram, given out Dy
the President, follows:
Again we greet you with popular
disapproval Of your pro-British poll
cies. Last year. from the Twenty
third New York Congressional district,
and now from your own State, and
from the volers of your own party.
Senator MARITIME won because the vo-
tiers of New Jersey do not want any
trucking TO the British empire, nor
do they approve of dictatorship over
Congress-
Your foreign policies, your failure
10 secure compliance with all Amerl-
can rights, your leniency with the Brit
ish empire, your approval of war loans
the ammunition traffic, are issues IN
the campaign. Do you know that VIII
liam S. Bennett, a Republican Congress-
man. ran in the Democratic primaries
in the Twenty-third New York Con-
gressional district and polled SO per
cent. of the total Democratic vote
against his regular Democratic oppo-
nent? Anglo-maniacs and British In
terest may control newspapers, put
they don't control votes. The people
may be readers, but they are not FOL
lowers of the newspapers. ..i -
when, sir Will you respond 20
to these evidences of popular dlsap-
proval of your policies by action. me
MARITIME election and Bennett vote
prove you have lost support amongst
Democrats.
Every vote for MARITIME was a vote
against you, as was every Democratic
vote that went for Mr.. Bennett in the
Democratic primaries in the Twenty
third congressional district
Attitude Toward Campaign.
The presidents attitude toward the
campaign and toward some of the IS
sues before the country was made
known here today. 1t was learned
that in his speech at Shadow Lawn
tomorrow and in subsequent ad'
dresses here, he intends TO give to the
country definite reasons why ne Is
asking for another term.
Following is an authoritative sum-
mary of his campaign attitude:
The president will adhere strictly 10
his determination not TO enter into
personalities or into political con,
troyersy with Charles +. Hughes. All
the speeches he will make way from
Shadow Lawn will be delivered before
non-partisan organizations and Will be
devoted entirely TO discussion OF
public questions. BY inference they
will have a political effect.
His speeches here will be more poll
tical in tone. Tomorrow he will tell
why he thinks young men should vote
the Democratic ticket.
At present American voters are en-
titled 10 know, he believes, what the
Republicans would do at present in
Mexico, what attitude they would take
toward belligerent nations in Europe,
whether they would repeal the federal
reserve act: the tariff law, the rural
credits act, the tariff commission bill,
