believe there was ever a president
who had as many big questions to
decide. They have come In punches.
He hasn't always pleased me, just as
l suppose he hasn't always pleased
other people, but when you look the
record over, it's so good that criticism
comes close to being nothing more
than cheap fault finding.
"A fool or coward would have had
the United States In all sorts OF
trouble. As 1t Is, we are at peace, the
country was never more prosperous,
and we have the strength that comes
with honor and Integrity Of purpose.
"Had we recognized Huerta, 1t
would have served notice upon the
world that the United States, while
believing in democracy for home use,
was willing to stand for despotism
where other peoples were concerned.
President Wilson's Mexican policy has
been wise and just and courageous.
Belgium Hindslghtl In the light
Of two years, it's easy to say what
should have been done. But at the
time, not a single paper or a public
man even thought Of anything but
keeping the United States out Of the
European horror.
"As said at the start, It has Just
been one big thing after another with
Wilson. never have known so many
dangerous questions brought up for de-
clsion to any one President.
Look at the threatened general rail-
road strike. If carried through, such
a strike would have thrown the whole
country into confusion.
ain my opinion, Mr.. Hughes, II
President, would have found II difficult
to decide on the best course for the
Government to take In such matters.
His capacity for hindsight, as we learn
from his speeches, is highly developed,
but as to his foresight, we are not
equally we'll Informed.
"They say Wilson has blundered.
Perhaps he has. But notice that he
usually blunders forward.
"Mr. Wilson now has had about four
years Of experience, and / think that
he has earned faith and trust. l do
not think 1t a sensible thing to change
to an inexperienced and untried man.
Therefore, am for Woodrow
