ond address. delivered in the same room. was on suffrage. One hundred women heard him repeat his New York declaration that he wanted the question speedily settled granting women the vote through amendment to the federal constitution.
 After lunch the nominee went to the ball game. He shook hands with the members of the Detroit and Phil adclphia American League teams and watched one inning of the game. Then he motored away to two of De- troit's pig automobile factories and addressed crowds at each one. Be- tween speeches he held many short conferences with local political lead CTS. shook hands with about 1000 per sons. and managed to find time for two short maps. He left late tonight for Chicago.
 Discussing the administrations pol icy with Mexico. MT. Hughes said:
 We had certain things that We had n right to demand Of Mexico. and there was a proper way of demand ing tbem We should have said that we insisted upon the protection of the lives and property of American ctl- zens. of just protection. such protec ton as we are entitled to from gov ernment that performs the functions of government. We could have said we would not recognize Huerta if his government would not discharge those functions. We had no business to recognize him unless the executive was satisfied he could discharge those functions. But it was another thing l to take an attitude quite apart from | the protection of American rights and wage war hpon an individual and try to take control Of Mexican affairs in ,he interest If what we think they should be-
 That was precisely what was done. i We did not content ourselves with not recognizing Huerta There is no ques- | ton about recognizing or not recog- nizing Huerta. That was a batter to be determined according to proper principles according to the under standing of the executive as to the capita of that government if it was a government to furnish adequate pro- tection and discharge international obligations. But our administration said to Huerta;
 "'You get ont You can't be can didate. We won't allow you to run for office. We are so determined to get rid of you that you can't put yourself up to be voted for. And immediately after recognition was withdrawn it was extended 10 that incoInparable. that ideal character Villa
 In my judgment the administration laid very wrong thing in abandon ing it's proper international attitude and taking the attitude that no in ternational lawyer could understand that no Mexican could understand.
 Well the Mexicans didn't under stand our attitude there was q fight 19 Americans and tremendous number of Mexicans were killed. And they, tho administration says, they kept us ou of war That was war, and very ignoble war.
 Having gotten rid of Huerta, wha next did we do? We said let thes' Mexicans spill as much boold as the! want to. that Is their blessed privilege quetted with Carranza and we show cd our disposition co favor any ban dit in the land.
 . T never heard of a more extra ordinary expedition than that punitiv expedition we sent down there Wa it military expedition or was it not Ii went down between two lines o railroads; it could not use either.
 Our American troops went mile afte mile Tor hundreds Of miles into Mex ico on a punitive expedition right be tween two lines of railway which the, could not touch. They could not go t a town. It was an absurdly arrange, expedition. Of course it could not sue

 My friends, we have made peopl
 dislike us because we did not have
 straight and clear path. The path o
 international right is like the path o
 the just that shineth here more an
 more unto the perfect day. It doe
 not make any difference who your op
 ponent is. If you state a position tha
 is right and he knows that 1t is righi
 you are going to establish the justic
 of your cause. And America, with he
 power. never need be afraid of espous
 ing just cause.
 Let the Mexicans understand ono
 for all that we do not intend to medal
 with their affairs, that we desire tha
 they shall perform their obligations us, to protect our citizens. protect thei
 justly in the enjoymen. or their live
 and their property: that they will per
 form the guarantees that they hay given us, and then we shall have peac and happiness.
 If they can establish a stable go,
 ernment, we will do all that we ca to support it. Talk about policy. wh; is the presidents policy Does anyor know? Has the executive ever had policy for more than six months in Il Mexican question? I repeat, WI ' knows today what the policy of Il administration will be three montl
