Disingenuous to Boast That It's
Through Any Act Of Wilson
We Are Out of the Eu-
ropean Contest.
RATHER SHOULD BE BLAMED
FOR MEXICAN BELLlGERENCY
During the Present Administration
We Have Seized a Mexican Port and
Sent Our Entire Army and Militia
to Fight Mexicans While Armed
Mexican Forces Have Invaded Am
erIcan Soil and Fought Battles
Against Our People.

Sometimes you hear men, sensible
men, too, say, "I'm going to vote for
Wilson this year because he kept us
out Of war"
Ask such men a short question.
Ask them, "Out Of what WARP"
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out of the
European War? No. He has himself
In formal address to congress spok-
en- of the European war as "a war
with which we have nothing to do, a
war whose causes do not touch u.s."
How could Mr.. Wilson keep us out
Of war with which we have nothing
to do and whose causes do not touch
us?
Did he keep the rest of the western
hemisphere out Of the European war?
No Independent nation on this side
of the world is involved in 1t; the
only people In IL are the colonies Of
European powers and they had no
voice In their fate, for they were au-
tomatically at war when their mother
governments went to war. Who kept
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, out Of
the European war? Did Mr.. Wilson?
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out of war
with Mexico? No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by MeXi-
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by Mexicans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war. In his term we have seized a
Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Next
cans. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with
in our boundaries.
President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during his term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe in Mexico during that
time. No Mexican cities were seized
by Americans and no armed Mexicans
invaded the United States while Mr..
Taft was In the White House. Yet Mr..
Taft never thought Of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept us out of war with
Mexico. He put an embargo on arms
so that American weapons would not
be sent across the boundary, and he
refused to interfere In Mexican affairs.
When he left Office Mexicans liked
Americans and Americans were safe
In Mexico. Since he left office Mexi-
cans hate Americans and Americans
dare not remain In Mexico. Did Mr..
Wilson keep us out of war with Mexi-
co? Not If words mean anything.
Mr.. Wilson did not keep us out OF
the European war and he did not keep
us out Of war with Mexico.

HUGHES LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. Gompers, remembering
only that he Is q Democrat and for
getting that he is q leader of organ
lied labor, ventured to assert that
Mr.. Hughes is unfriendly to labor be-
cause he concurred In the unanimous
decision in the Danbury hatters' case
he ventured on very thin ice. The
Chicago Tribune promptly reminds
him that an honest judge must apply
the law as he thinks 1t is, not as
he thinks II ought to be; and asks
him to tell those who look to him
for political advice something about
the record of Mr.. Hughes as Gov
ernor. Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ of the
New York Federation of Labor, said
editorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
Governors chair at Albany for his
place on the supreme court. Here IL
is:
snow that Gov. Hughes has retired
from politics and assembled to a place
on the highest judicial tribunal In the
world, the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybodys political
corns that he was the greatest friend
of labor laws that ever occupied the
Governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed fifty-six
labor laws, including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted in this
or any state.
"He also urged the enactment OF
labor laws In his messages to the
Legislature, even going so far as to
place the demand for a labor law in
one of his messages to an extra ses-
sion OF the Legislature.
"Only 1872 labor laws have been
enacted In this state since its erec-
ton in 1777-in 1873 years. One-thIrd
of these, exceeding in quality all Of
the others, have been enacted and
signed during Gov. Hughes term of
three years and nine months"
Let organized labor take to heart
what the Chicago Tribune says on
this point "Mr. Hughes Is no dem
agogue and no visionary. He Is
man of courage and conscience, and
II labor cannot confide its cause TO
his rock-bottom Americanisp there is
something wrong with its cause

Here are a few examples. ]. A. III.
Hopkins of New Jersey is treasurer
Of the Progressive (genuine) national
committee, and has announced that
he personally favors the reelection of
Wilson. Mrs. Hopkins is a member
of the Woman's party and will take
the stump and do all she can to
prevent the election Of Wilson.
Clifford Pinchot is for Hughes and
all the militarism Hughes and his
backing can secure. Amos Pinchot,
his brother, is member of the
American Union Against Militarism
and will support Wilson as the lesser
of two evils. Rep. William Kent Of
California is wild-eyed enthusiast
for Wilson and is heading Wilson
nOn-partisan league, while Mrs. Kent
is member of the Woman's party
and will stump for the defeat of VIII
son.
George Middleton has allied himself
with the group of writer's who have
announced themselves for Wilson,
while his wife, Fola La Toilette, is one
of the members Of the Congressional
union who will hold Wilson respon-
sible for the defeat of the Susan b.

olson is Wilson supporter, but Mrs.
Nicholson will write and stump
against Wilson on account of his at

HUGHES OR WILSON?
ROOSEVELT'S ANSWER

Against Mr.. Wilson's COM
blnation of grace In elOcution
with futillty In action; against
his record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
see Mr.. Hughes rugged and I'M
compromising Straightforward
ness Of character and action In
every Office he has held. We
put the man who thinks and
. speaks directly, and whose
words have always been made
good, against the man whose
adroit and facile elocution is
used to conceal his plans or his
want of plans. The next four
years may well be years of ire
mendous national strain. Which
of the two men do you, the
American people, wish at the
helm during these four years;
the man who has been actually
tried and found wanting, or the
man whose whole career In pub
lie Office is a guarantee Of his
power and good faithf But one
answer is possible; and 1t must
be given by the American people
through the election of Charles
Evans Hughes as President of
the United straightforward
In Maine Speech.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1916-11-03

Soon after Mr.. Hughes was nomi-
mated a friend said to him: Governor,
If the American people forget the Mexi-
can disgrace they do not deserve to
have you for President" Quick as
flash he replied: '"The candidate who
lodges the Mexican disgrace does not
deserve to be President" He did not
pass around his address of acceptance
for compliment or criticism In adj
vance Of Its delivery but the amount
OF space he devoted to the Mexican
disgrace-"that confused chapter OF
lunders"-surprised no one who had
talked with him since his nomination.
1t has been In his mind and on his
mind more than any other single prob
lem with which Mr.. Wilson has pal
tered. To talk with him is to see at once
the reality Of his indignation over the
heartless manner In which American
men, women and children, American
citizens, soldiers and sailors have been
abandoned by the Administration along
and across the Rio Grande, the vic
tins Of Mexican armed forces, outfit
ted with American ammunition and
American rifles, Mexicans whom Mr..
Wilson has coddled one day as pa
triots only to chase the next as
bandits.
1t Is apparently the belief of Mr..
Wilson that the people Of the United
States are not interested in Mexico.
His defenders have declared that it
was on "old story and out Of date"
Mr.. Hughes has better opinion of his
fellow countrymen. He has proved
himself better judge of their feelings.
He has made "the Mexican disgrace"
foremost issue of his campaign. He
has assailed the record of the Admin
istration In that respect In almost
every speech he has made. He has new
er failed to strike responsive chord
In the hearts of his audience, whether
speaking in Carnegie Hall, New York,
from the platform Of his train at
Grand Forks, North Dakota, to vast
audience at Portland, at the EXPOSE
ton at San Diego or In the prairie
states of the Middle West. He has re-
futed the SANDER sometimes heard in
the effete East, that the people of the
great West do not care what happens
to their fellow citizens in Mexico or
to the flag beyond the border No
man born In the West has a firmer
faith In the fundamental patriotism
and dominant Americanism" of the
people of that section than Mr..
HugheS He holds them reSponSihIe
In large measure for the encourage
ment and support he received while
Governor Of New York in his war
upon political graft and political boss
ism. He thinks they had much to do
with conscripting him as the cham
pion Of nationalism In the current cam
paign. He showed his confidence in
their practical idealism when he made
''the Mexican disgrace" an uppermost
Issue Of his campaign. He has been
indicated by the response his arraign-
ment Of the Administration on this
score has everywhere evoked. From
Maine to California "the Mexican dis
grace" is a sore subject with red
blooded Americans today. But no
where between the oceans are the out
RACES inflicted In Mexico upon Amerl-
can honor, life and property more
keenly resented than around the fire.
sides of the great West. Mr.. Hughes
is no stranger to the West. His
straightforward talk on Mexico proves
