speaks of the Americanism is agains
America. Any speaker who dare.
to present to the American pople th'
facts of the Mexican question be
cause in presenting these facts nee
essarily those facts themselves con
demn Woodrow Wilson, then thai
speaker is a traitor, in the eyes OF
the Senator from Illinois and his
class of statesmen and his mouth
should be closed.
Sir, | may say to the Senator,
can see more resemblance than one
between his Democratic Party anc
the party of Carranza, between the
leader in his political views and the
political views announced by Car
rama.
/ have here on my desk a decytD
of Mr. Carranza just issued refer
ring to the election which is called
Oh, how happy would be the Sena,
tor from Illinois could Woodrow
Wilson promulgatc and enforce such
DEGREES. On the I'd of June in this
body ! made speech upon the Mex,
can question, in which l detailed
from Carranza's own mouth the kind
of government" which existed in
Mexico; that he was the legislature
i the judicial, and the executive, the
head of the army, legislating soley
/ by decree, and enforcing his decrecs
by guns, passing upon them hy court
martial.
! Now, may say for the informa
ton of the Senator, that kilograms
we're sent to Carranza's so-called gov
ernment, calling attention to the
criticism delivered here in thi, body
which was. in return reflecting pre-
sumably, or would so reflect upon
the administration now i npower in
this country, and the demand was
made as / am informed that cleo
tions be called in Mexico. They
were called; and l have here the
decree; and the qualifications of
electors and the qualifications Of Of
flee seekers as fixed by Mr.. CarrAn-
za's decree at the elections to he
held in the month of September are,
that neither the electors nor the Of
flee seekers should have given eth
er armed or tacit assistance to any
one else than Mr.. Carranza. The
Nillistas, the 10000 Zapatistas arm
ed and controlling four States in
five states in Mexico, the millions of
Mexico, the FeIicistas controlling
people through out the Republic who
have acquiesed in any attempt or
anyone to resist the outrages of
Carranza'' bandits, those who have
hidden away an ear of corn for the
purpose of feeding their starving
children, are disfranchised, and only
Carranzistas shall vote.
He appoints the judges OF c!ecti, n
he appoints the officers of election,
he prescribes the qualifications Of
voters, he overturns the constitution
of the union, he sets aside the con-
stitution of the state. he abolishes
the election laws fixed by the con-
stitution, he ignores the State laws
and State lines, he appoints munich
pal election officers, he names the
municipal election candidates, he
prescribes the qualification of voter,
Chat they shall be Carranzistas)
If Mr.. Wilson could enfoce de-
cree at this election to provide that
only followers of Woodrow Wilson
should vote, how grateful would be
the statesman from Illinois.
Mr.. President, l am now taking
more time than I had expected to
take. The Senator says there is no
issue, that it is merely "Mcxico"
The Senator knows in his heart what
the issue is. The Senator is a SEN
ator of the United States, and he
knows that one of the issues which
will be presented to the people and
upon which they will pass will BE
an issue which was made when the
government was born, an issue lying
at the very foundation of govern
ment itself.
May I ask the Senator what his
idea is of the duty of government
to its citizens? You viii lbe COM
relIcd to answer some questions, sir.
You will be compelled to declare
your position. The people of the
United States will want to know
