The most eloquent part of the adj
dress of Mr., Bryan concerned itself
with the discussion Of the Mexican
problem and the war in Europe.
"Wilson kept us out of war with
Mexico. He refused to recognize
Huerta because he refused to put the
moral force of this great nation be-
hind an assassin and a traitor. And
declare to you today that your presi-
dent was right in refusing to put the
sanction of this nation on assassina-
tion and treason Intervention in
Mexico" he continued, 'fwould have
meant war, for how long or at how

"and every drop of blood shed on those
battle field finds an echo somewhere in
a home in this great nation. Our SUI
preme service to the world is to be
a neutral nation and the national ad-
vocate of peace. 1t is going to be the
supreme opportunity for some great
nation to lead the world out of the
black night of war into the radiant sun
light of great and lasting world peace.
Woodrow Wilson kept the peace on this
side of the Atlantic when the whole
of the rest of the civilized world was
drenched with the blood of inhuman
war and | submit to you that he has a
right to claim from you your support
as the real man to carry out this great
movement for world peace. ~
