that message Mr.. O'Leary criticized
the President for not enforcing

would not vote for the reelection of
the President. Mr.. Wilson replied that
he would feel deeply mortified to have

you vote for me-" adding: Since you
have access to many disloyal Ameri.

upon which Mr.. O'Leary said lie based

SUIT FOR $4,000
BROUGHT AGAINST
VANCE MCCORMICK
President O'Leary of American Truth Society
Charges Libel by Chairman Demo-
cratic Nation al Committee

on the message sent to the President by
MI OLeary
Mr. O'Leary gave out tonight the fol-
lowing:
My purpose in suing Mr. Mccormick
is to find out first whether hyphenism,
so-called, is libellous, and second,
whether it is inconsistent with Ameri-
canism. | also sue him as a challenge
to him to let an American jury decide
whether protest to the President be-
cause he has not enforced American
rights against Great Britain is disloy
atty. | also resent the hdeouS impu-
tation contained in his statement that
any man running for public Office
could repudiate my vote, or the votes
of millions of my fellow citizens who
think as l do.
"A citizens loyalty to his country is
not a proper part of a political cam
paign and therefore / feel that it is
wrong to assert it politically because
it strikes al the fundamentals of our
citizenship.
What right would Charles +,
Hughes have to repudiate me? What
llSIt has ne 10 lepuuidtt any NOtei
who would vote for him? / yield to Mr.,
Mccormick his right to support Mr..
Wilson and 10 vote for Mr. Wilson and
no matter how faithless l believe Mr..
Wilson has been in protecting Amer
lean lives, property and commerce.
would never assert that he was dis
loyal because he supported Mr. Wilson
and differed from Mr.. Hughes.
John r. Jones. attorney for Mr.
O'Leary, declared that Mr.. O'Leary
also intends to begin other libel suits
against newspapers throughout the
country who have questioned his right
and abused him for sending what he
considers to be a perfectly proper tele-
gram to the President of the United
States"
