LEWIS GUNS THE GAME

Washington. September 1l-When

Hamilton Lewis. OF Illinois was going
to answer Hughes in regard to the
Mexican situation, the Democratic
campaign committee made ready to
flop his speech on the presses as soon
as delivered, and to circulate few
hundred thousand copies of it. Mr..
Lewis speech was one of the severest
shocks the Democratic campaign man
ayers have experienced because of
his declaration on the floor of the Sen

President Wilson to recognize villa In
Mexico. While many people had be-
lieved this to be the case, there had
been no public statement to that eff
feet prior to the carefully prepared
address delivered by the Senator from
Illinois.
Since Its recognition of Carranza,
the Administration has been trying to

There was Il time when Latin was
