SENATOR LEWIS ANSWERS ROOT
Recalls to Mind the New York Sena-
tors Past Work in Congress.

Washington. - Senator Lewis, dem
senate Saturday Oh the Hypocrisy of
Craftsmanship, assailed Elihu Root
for his address before the New York
state republican convention attacking
the administration foreign policy.
"Mr. Root says it is necessary in
this international crisis to have a
president who means something more
than words" Senator Lewis said, that
we should follow words with action.
What action? There can be but one
thing, and that is war. If he means
that he wants war with Germany, why
does he want war? If Mr.. Root, speak
ing for his party, expects to pledge the
party to war let him declare it with
courage and the democratic party will
meet the ISSUE"
Referring to Mr. Roots declaration
that the government had neglected it's
duty in not acting more forefully with
regard to Mexico, Senator Lewis read
from the former New York senator's
SpOCCACS Ill CuO SSAdCC q WILL
ocratic proposal for intervention in
1911 and the occupation of Vera Cruz
in 1914
"The conditions in Mexico now are
the same as they hace been for more
than four years" said Senator Lewis
"These conditions prevailed when the
New Yorker was in this body as
spokesman for his party. When Sena-
tor Stone introduced resolution
whoch sought power from the senate
to direct President Taft to act Senator
Root condemned the effort of the
democracy to do the very thing which
he now AYERS should be done. The
senator from New York declared such
course would be a step backward in
the path of civilization.
