prepared for war-he built WarShlps,
he erected forts-but he didn't shoot.
He settled our differences with Eng
land by negotiation just as woodrow
Wilson is trying to do today. And
here parenthetically let me remark
that while Secretary of State Ellhu
Root in a speech in Argentine prac-
tically repeated the great sentiment Of

country while he met unmoved the

for war is a greater man than Wash

Corvallis sword at Yorktown. Yet
Mr.. Root condemns President Wilson
for the very policy for which he
praised George Washington.
IF Mr.. Root viii turn to the DE
Claration of Independence he will find
reminder that this is Il country
which resorts to war only after every
other form of redress has failed.
He will find that before the Amer
lean colonies drew the pistil they
warned, reminded, appealed and con-
jured' the British government to dis
avow' the usurpatiOn of which they
complained Then, as now, a race of
free men claimed the right to be pa
tient, and now as then a race of free
men will not falter in a final appeal
to arms should their patience be eX-
hausted and all other means Of as
sorting their rights be in vain. AS
a nation we deprecate the waste, the
horror, tn unreason Of war, because
we are masters of our own destiny.
Root a Politician.
1.-THE efforts of politicians, like Mr..
Root to make political capital out of
the course which President Wilson
deems it wise for this nation to fol-
low in respect to Belgium during the
early stages of the present war, de-
serve, and will receive, unqualified
condemnation and rebuke at the
hands of the most right thinking and
patriotic Americans
mo fair minded man can question
the wisdom and integrity of our Bel
gian policy"
Former Governor Glynn declared
that Mr.. Root himself, as secretary
of state adopted the same policy iii
handling the Japanese Korean situa-
ton, despite the protests of Korea
against the domination of Japan and
despite a treaty between Korea and
the United States.

"The insincerity of the republican
Darty" the speaker asserted, lin It's
Belgian attitude is shown by the
words of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt
and by it's record between 1901 ana
1909. In 1903 occurred the massacre
of Kishineff and for many years after
1903 Macedonia ran red with blood;
in 1905 the horrors of the Congo were
officially published;f in 1905. Korea
lost it's independence; in 1906 Moroc-
co was parceled out by the Powers
and, vet no note of protest came from
the republican party Wuat
reason then, has the republican party
to expect people to believe that II
would have acted any differently IN
1904 than it did from 1901 to 1909
Y Charging that the Taft administra-
ton nagged and prosecuted the Ma
dero administration in Mexico, MI
Glynn declared that the Mexican sit
1!ation was an unfortunate Inherit
ancC" of the democratic admini5tra-
ton.
''Thc truth of the matter is con-
tinucd the speaker, 'if the Taft adj
ministration had given Madero one
tenth part of the support and as
sstance that this administration is
giving the de facto government Pres
ident Madero would most assuredly
have been successful in establishing
peace and order, the alleged crime
of Huerta would not have been COM
mtted, the loss of American lives
and property since that time would
not have occurred and Mexico would
have been spared the horrors Of the
fraticidal war which has since pre-
walled there"
The LlIsitania Case.
Turning to the Lusitania case, the
chairman said that Mr.. Root ignores
what has been accomplished and
overlooks the assurance for the fu-
ture and the reparat1on for the past
which have been made.
Does it become Mr.. Root he
asked, 'to criticise the president and
the administration for not enforcing
it's demands when previous admins
tratiOn with which he was intimately
connected failed to use ordinary fore
sight in laying the foundation for
suitable military and naval forces?'
Would Make President oInccndiary.
Mr.. Root forgets, the former gov
ernOr asserted, that the belligerent
countries are wrought into a state Of
excitement by the nervous tension Of

, unnecessary and CalamitOus happen

Mr. Root, the democratic chairman
; asserted, voted and worked against

when he made his famous speech

! keeper of national honor" Mr.. Glynn
added: For years Mr.. Root has been
the star performer at peace confer
cnces and yet ne condemns President
Wilson for maintaining peace
For years." continued the speaker,
"Mr Root has been acclaimed an
apostle of peace and in 1912 was
awarded the Nobel prize for the pro-
motion of peace, but now he sallies
forth as drum and trumpet states
man.
From a cooling dove of peace, Mr..
Root suddenly transforms himself into
a sWooping hawk of war.
Root Like ZisLa.
Years ago enthusiasts in Bohemia
took the skin of John Ziska, the pa
trot and stretched it as a drumhead
to rouse their followers to war So,
today, Elihu Root would stretch the
skin of the victims of the Lusitanla,
the skin of the victims of the Belgium
invasion, into a drumhead to rouse
the kindly sentiment of sympathy IN
to the cruel frenzy of war.
Mr.. Root may beat his drumhead
and blare his trumpet, but President
Wilson will go right on winning the
plaudits of the American people by
appealing to reason, humanity and
common sense and by keeping the
United States the uncompromsing
champion of the neutral world and the
undaunted maintainer of the prin-
cipals which have guided this nation
since 1875"
Wilson's Foreign Policy Sound.
In his foreign policy the president,
Mr.. Glynn said, was following the ex-
ample of Washington, John Adams,
jefferson, Lincoln and Grant
THE president" he declared, "has
only shaken his finger; when he has
to shake his fist the world will find it
mailed.

leans with a common purpose should
seek to maintain peace, commerce
and friendly relations with all ma
tons.
We sincerely sympathize with the
suffering of the people of the sew
eral Governments engaged in the war.
Nevertheless the first duty of our
Government is to it's own people, to
keep them out of war, except in de-
Tense of their national honor or their
rights as citizens and the protection
of the country's territory from inva-
sion.
We denounce the insidious efforts of
those who pretend, after fifteen
months of silence, to find in treaty
arrangements and in international
conventions for peaceful arbitration,
grounds for direct interference with
the affairs of European nations by
this country. For the violation of the
rights of our citizens as incidents of
the war, one of the two alternatives
is presented for their redress and
prevention in the future-war or ne
gotiations and we believe our people
will uphold the policy of negotiation,
even if somewhat prolonged, rather
than resort to the arbitrament of
arms. In dealing with foreign affairs
the Administration is not Dem ocratic
or Republican, but represents all the
people, and should be upheld by all
the people. We, as citizens and not
as partisans, commend the Admins
tration for it's course in seeking re-
dress of grievances by peaceful means
rather than by war; and thereby pre-
serving the youth and manhood of our
country from the mutilation and
death that is now destroying the man
hood of Europe.
UphOlds Course in Mexico.
Mexico Our relations with the re-
publics of Central and South America
are upon a different basis. We SUBJ
nit that the essentials of the Monroe
Doctrine shall continue to be the pol
icy of this country with reference to
those nations. The interests of this
United States require that Central and
South America shall not be controlled
in whole or in part by any European
nation. We believe that the estab-
lishment and maintainence of a real
democratic government in those coun-
tries is a high interest of the great
dem cracy of the United States.
In dealing with Mexico, as with the
European powers tlllS country was
| presented with two alternatives-war
or negotiations. Which should it be?
The people of the country looked to
| the last Republican Administration
| for a. settlement of the so-called
| mexican situation,' but it preferred
| to bequeath the problem to its sue
| cessor. Thus when the present Ad-
| ministration came into power it in
| herited from its predecessor q situa-
ton in Mexica, surrounded with diff
culties and embarrassments, not
simply because Of Mexico itself, but
because our dealing with it would .af-
! feet our present and future relations
with the different Governments OF
| South America.

Glynn Plays Root in
Defense of President
Shows Up Record of Former United States Senator and
Republican Party's Inactivity During Its Long
Term in Control of Nation.

syracuse, N. Y, March 2.-FormcI
governor, Martin II Glynn, at the
democratlc state conference here last
hl8ht, give his party's answer to tne
speech of former United States SEN
ator, El1hu Root, before the republi-
can state conference in New York
several weeks ago. Taking up Mr..
Roots charges against the present
Dat1onal administration. he answered
each point, He also took Mr.. Root to
task for his speeches in the United
States senate and for his acts as sec-
rotary of state of the United States.
The federal reserve act the Under
wood tariff, foreign affairs and pre-
paredness were all dwelt upon by the
former governor.
-Four years ago" ne said, this
nation committed it's care and well
fare to democratic party and the dem
ocratic party has been true to it's
trust. 1t has preserved peace, OBJ
served International laws and fol-
lowed the traditions of the fathers of
the country"
Root Opposed Wholesale Law.
After reviewing the legislation
enacted during the democratic control
of congress, Mr.. Gylnn replied to Mr..
Roots reference to the federal re-
serve act. He charged that Mr.. Root
as senator opposed the passage Of the
measure.
This law" continued Mr.. Gylnn,
us one of the greatest achievements
of the administration in the last fifty
years. Why, here never has been &
finer exhibition of foresight and
craftsmanship than that exhibited by
the president in insisting upon the
passage of the federal reserve act.
Subsequent events showed the presi-
dent was prompted by wondrous econ
omic insight. The republican party
has had possession of the government
since 1851, with the exception of Mr..
Clevelands two terms. During all
that time the necessity for financial
legislation was never SO great nor SO
Imperative. The republican party
stands convicted of absolute impo-
tence and incompetence because it
failed utterly to meet the situation"
This legislative act, former Cover
nor Glynn said, saved the country
from a panic when the European war
broke out. 1t enabled the financial
officers, he said, to meet the demands
made upon American business and fl
nancial interests and saved them from
a repetition of the panic of 1907,
which the speaker characterized as a
painful experience" that would al
ways be an Indictment of the repub- |
lican party.
