Reporting The Candidate - Local
newspapers from along the line of
Gov. Hughes trip are beginning to
reach New York and present a radi-
cally different view of the candidate
from that depicted by the eastern dali
les. This is, obviously, due in large
part to the fact that newspaper cor
respondents with the candidate are
compelled, by the difference in time
and the delay of transmission, to send
to their papers in the East reports of
the Hughes meetings written in adj
vance of their actual occurrence. So
much of the speeches as they quote
has been prepared in advance and
there is an entire absence of that
punch" and fire which evidently char
acterize Mr.. Hughes speeches and
which, as is the case with every speak
er, are largely inspired by the enthus-
iasms of his auditors. Then, too, Mr..
Hughes has a decided facility in util-
izing local facts and incidents to point
his arguments and these are naturally
omitted by the correspondents as not
likely to be understood so far away.

Wilson and the Embargo Mr.
Roosevelt gives a graphic account of
how Mr.. Wilson has continually
changed his mind on the subject of
permitting arms and ammunition to
go into Mexico. In August 1913, Mr..
Wilson announced in his message to
Congress that he would not permit
arms to go in and established the en-

as the objectionable sin of the Will
son administration. Mr.. Lippitt points
out that having failed by all other
means in his meddlesome policy OF
eliminating Huerta," on February 3,
1914, Mr.. Wilson raised the embargo
on arms consigned to Villa and Car
rama, with the result that 10000
rifles and more than 35,0OO,OOO rounds
of ammunition had been shipped into
Mexico by August Is; and it is these
arms which have been used to shoot
down American soldiers, and Ameri-
can citizens as they bravely but futi-
ley strove to protect the honor of their
wives and daughters from the lust of
Woodrow Wilson's proteges." Sem
ator Lippitt compares President Will
sons course with Burgoyne's arming
the Indians to destroy his white OPP
ponents.

After the War-There has been a
great deal of talk about conditions af-
ter the war. The Republicans believe
there will come an era of the fiercest
industrial competition and that unless
the tariff law is amended the indus
tries of the United States will suffer
disaster. The Democrats. however,
profess to believe that an era of pros
perity will follow the end of the war,
and they actually insist that the pres
ent prosperity is permanent. Facts
and figures. however, speak louder
than academic argument and here are
facts and figures. When the European
war broke out So per cent of the plant
of the Carnegie Steel Company was
idle, and there was much distress
among its employees. Recently 100
per cent of its plant was running full
and its employees are prosperous. But
and 1t is big but-55 per cent OF
its recent output consists of ammuni-
ton, or some form of steel designed
for use in making ammunition The
instant the war stops, that So per cent
OF the plant will again be idle, and Sc

mond, Ford and a hay rake,
made rather undesirable com.
binatfon, when the rake and the
Ford came in contact Monday
night about eleven o'clock, some
where in the neighborhood of
the Artesian school house. The
boys were in Mr.. Gates Ford
and were driving west. At some
point along the road they met a
man driving team hitched to
a big wagon. From the report
weget, he failed to give half the
road. FraAk Gates, who was
driving the car, turned to the
right sufficient distance to pass
the wagon, bat the dust raised
by the horses and the wagon
made 1t impossible for him to
see that a rake was hitched on
behind it and that It extended
out several feet. The result is
easily guessed: The car was
overturned and the occupants
throwa out but fortunately, not
hurt. The Ford and the rake
both we're quite badly wrecked.

Who Owns Mexico?

80 NSSoN hSS0S W AS0
Magszine contains an article,
signed by Senator LaFollette oi
Wisconsin entitled, "Who Owns
Mexico?" In view of the fact
Mr.. Hughes devotes so large
proportion of his speech of &C
ceptance to criticism of PresI
dent Wilson's Mexican policy
this nota BILE article of Senator
La Follett's acquires renewed
interest aud is we'll worth read
ing by all students of national
politics.
The Senator points out that
the amount of investments In
Mexico by United States capital
lists, speculators, and promoters
is $Lo57, ,77O,OO0, while the
amount invested by Mexicans
themselves IS reported as only
$793,lS7,242. This extraordi-
nary fact, the Senator believes,
accounts largely for the demand
for Intervention" in various
quarters.
Important parts of the article
are herewith reproduced:
"The people of the United
States do not want war with
Mexico. The Mexican people
do not want war with US, and
both President Wilson and Car.
rama have donS everything in
their power to avert war;.
What is it, then, that menaces
the peace of these neighboring
countries?
1t dates far back of the Colu m
bus raid. That outrage upon
the residents OF one of our bor-
der towns was the logical out
come of condititAs of which the
Mexican people were in mo- wise
responsible. Worse than that!
The Mexican pepsie we're really
innocent victims of traitors in
our midst, for " is charged up
on the highest authority that the
raid was inspired and arrang> d
for in our own coAntry!
Do you get the full meaning OF
the statement? Benedict Ar.
mold was not more guilty of
treason.
The secret service VI rn's
government has long arm and
strong arm. The net may YET
be drawn on the "higber'up". II
is fair to assume that President
Wilson did not disclose all Of the
facts in his possession when he
declared officially few days af
ter the raid that:
"There were persons along
the border actively engaged II
creating friction between !th'
government of the United States
and the de facto government o
Mexico for the purpose of bring
ing about Intervention in the IN
terest of certain owners of Mex
ican properties"

OFFER OF FREE ADVERTISING
CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN ACCEPTED
BY the Committee on Industrial Pre-
paredness.

New York, March 26.-With the au-
thority of President Wilson and Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels, the COM
mittee on industrial preparedness of
the naval consulting board has ac-
cepted an offer of the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of the World to con-
duct a free advertising campaign, ma
ton wide, in support of the commit
tees plan to prepare the industries of
the country for the manufacture of
munitions of war. This announcement
was made tonight by Howard E. Cof-
fin, chairman of the committee, to-
gether with details of the plan, which
embrace arrangements for making, for
the first time in national history, a
thorough inventory of American indus
try by an organization of 30 600 en-
gineers.
With national defense and interna-
tional peace as the slogan, the adver-
tising campaign will be conducted in
all classes of publications, on billboards
and by electric signs, under the lead
ership of Herbert S. Houston, presi-
dent of the associated bodies, and of a
committee of leading publishers and
advertising experts. Mr.. Houston said
tonight that already without cost to
the government, newspaper, magazine
and trade publishers, poster men and
electric sign men had offered space to
carry the advertising"
This is not war measure" he said
''but a peace measure. The militarist
will support it and so will the pacifict."
