Speech at Ell Paso Expect
ed to Win Many
Votes.
WILSON TEXAS TRIP
PLAN ABANDONED
Republicans Start Drive
to Win Railroad
Workers.

Colonel Roosevelt will carry the
Hughes banner 70 the Mexican border.
While the date is not fixed, he will
include FL Psso in the campaign tour
which he will start in about two weeks.
The announcement was made az Re-
publican headquarters yesterday. The
Republicans expect real results through
the Southwest from this invasion Of
the border country.
FL Paso County is the one county
in Texas which has shown strong Re-
publican tendencies during the last
six months. The Republican leaders
believe the Colonels visit there will
crystalline the Republican strength, as
well as win many Hughes votes else
where in the Southwest. There are
now abo : $4,000 militamen camped
in and about FL Psso, and the Colonel
will make a special appeal TO them.
The National Guardsmen now in that
territory are from Pennsylvania.
Massachusetts,, Michigan and Rhode
Island.
President Wilson's proposed trip 70
the Mexican border has been called
off. 1t was said at Democratic head
quarters that the decision had nothing
TO do with the announcement Of
Colonel Roosevelt's plans. a plan for
the President to attend the dedication
of the Elephant Butte Dam and deliver
an address had been under considera-
ton By mis- campaign managers. The
dam is about seventy-fve miles west
of e. Paso, and the dedication is 20
take place the middle OF this month.
Vance c. Mccormick, chairman Of
the Democratic National Committee
explained yesterday that the pressure
of official business would not permit
the President to go down.
The Republican campaign managers
have begun the most active propaganda
ever attempted among the railroad
men. They expect to swing fair per-
centage Of the organized railroad
labor vote TO Hughes despite the effect
of Wilson's eght-hour law

ment to one policy or another.
eve had pressed for American rights
with Madero, whose government we
had recognized and whose government
we attempted to aid by placing the
embargo on arms so that importations
might not help insurgents and render
his control less firm. We did not IN
tervene by force in any way. We
pressed demand for compensation for
Injuries to Americans, and we also
pressed for the settlement Of two i'm
portant questions with respect 20 the
boundaries Of Mexico.
Had the Republican Administration
been continued Huerta would have
been recognized. but with only twelve
DAYS before the coming IN OF a
new Administration it would have been
entirely improper and inconsiderate
for the outgoing Administration to
commit the incoming 70 any policy on
the subject. More than this, delay IN
recognizing Huerta would have Sc
cured a settlement Of the troublesome
questions of boundary. Mr.. Wilson
cannot shift blame for his blunders IN
Mexico. He had a cleans slate upon

HOW JAKE LOEB USED STRONG
ARM ON SCHOOL BOARD


Jake Loeb, president of the school
board, managed to throw the public
school system to the mercy of spoils
politicians yesterday But he's not
going to get away with it if the citi-
zens of Chicago have their say.
After Loeb, by use of the gavel
rule, managed to have the "merito-
riOus service" clause stricken from
the rules of the board Of education,
Miss Mary Mcdowell called a session
of the citizens committee. 1t was
then decided to hald a mass meeting
of protest at the Auditorium theater
at 1870 Saturday afternoon.
To this meeting will be invited
parents whose children are bound to
suffer through the introduction of
LOeb's pull system" civic workers
and labor leaders.
Under the old system teachers re-
tanned their jobs only on their eff
cheney record. Under LOeb's new rule
their position depends on their pull
with the powers that be. If Loeb does
not like a teacher he can fire her
summary. By his rule it is posi-
bic to use teachers in political cam
paigns, and unless they come
across" they can be let out. Loeb's
rule offers them no recourse.
The rule will be also used against
members Of the Chicago Teachers
Federation, who have been making
such a splendid fight for the integrity
of the public school system. 1t is ex-
pected that Jake Loeb will immedi-
ately seek vengeance on them. This
action is expected to be taken at the
election Of school teachers for the
coming term, which takes place be-
fore the fill board next Wednesday
L T. Greenacre, attorney for the
federation, says he will mark time
until Loeb plays his next card. If the |
action of the school board is in any
way a violation of the injunction re-
straining the board from interfering

to have prominent citizens, such as
Mary Mcdowell, take the floor on be-
half of the teachers were turned
down by Jake Loeb.
He refused permission to any one
who wished the continuance of the
merit rule and brought his gaveI into
play in order to stifile opposition.
Mrs. John Mcmahon managed to
say: 81 am absolutely in terror for
those teachers who have incurred
the enmity of the present school
board. All teachers will be in terror" }
Max Loeb then asked that Sup't of
Schools ShOOp be given a fair chance
to express his opinion of Jake LOeb's
action. Doc ClemensOn, one of Jake
LOeb's henchmen, argued against
this on the grounds that ShOop was
only a paid employee. Loeb upheld
him. What Loeb and his henchmen
said was law.
Those who voted for Jake Loeb's
waIlop at the school system were:
Mrs. Florence Vosbrink, John w.
Eckhart, Mrs. c. o. Sethness, Mrs.
F. E. Thornton, E. J. Piggott, Jake
lOGD, DOC OlCllCLbOLls D. n. IlOlDuCu,
