New York Press club banquet he will
not countenance a war with Mexico
until there is no other alternative for
settling the border troubles.
Again he declared he is ready to
sacrifice his own political fortunes to
carry out his convictions as to what
would be the just course to pursue in
the situation.
The presidents audience, composed
of newspaper men, state and municipal
political leaders and others prominent
in public life, signified their endorse
ment of his position by repeated out
bursts of applause.
When he asked if the glory of Amer
lea would be enhanced by war OF
conquest in Mexico shouts of mo-
came from all parts of the banquet
hall.
A similar response was made to, his
query whether it is Americas duty to
carry self-defense to the point of die.
