WASHINGTON NEWS.
Democrats Have Done We'll.

The Democratic party, under Mr.
Wilson's leadership, has done we'll
during the last three years. We have
undoubtedly made mistakes - Demo
Gratis are not supermen-but We have
put Through a program OF construc-
tive legislation which has never been
equalled in the history of this cCun-
try. II you think that is an exag-
geration, call the roll OF the meas
ures we have been called on to con-
side- since Wilson entered the White
House in March, 1913:
The Tariff Bill
The Income Tax
The Currency Bill
The Antitrust Laws
The Shipping Bill
The Reorganization of the Army
and the Navy
The Rural Credits Bill
The immigration Bill
The Child Labor Bill
The Tariff Commission Bill
And long list of other measures
OF the first Importance. We are still
working. Before we adjourn We
will place an inheritance tax and a
corrupt -pratices act on the Statute
books. One will force large fortunes
to contribute to the maintenance of
government and the other will pre-
vent the use of "slush funds in
federal elections.
Not a "Do-Nothins" Party.
Whatever else our opponents may
say Of US, they cannot charge us
with being a "Do-Nothing" party We
have proven that we are not afraid
to assume the responsibilities Of pow
er.
The people placed us in control
of the government and we have run
it along Democratic lines.
And we are at peace with the
world.
There is no getting away from that
fact. A number of gentlemen are
just now engaged in the harmless
pastime Of telling the public what
they would do If they were president
They might or might not make good.
We know that the man now in the
White House has made good in the
one big essential-keeping this ma
tion in peace with the world.
| Suppose he has not always taken
the exact course some would have
had him take. What of that? He
has accomplished what We want him
to accomplish. Has he not?
Republicans for Wilson.
Many Of the states have held pres
idential primaries this year and in
every instance thousands of Republi-
cans have written the name of Wood
row Wilson on the'r ballots. Evident
ly they are not for anybody to beat
Wilson,"
With solid Democratic support
and the votes CT the Independent
Republicans who are not bound by
convention deals Wilson should win
by wide margin.

Delay in Negotiations
Benefit TO u. s. Army

San Antonio, Tex, June 29.-Any de-
lay incident TO new negotiations with
General Carranza will be Of inesti-
mable benefit 10 the United States
should the course of events cause a
general clash between the United
States and forces Of the de facto gov
eminent, according TO army officers
here. No similar advantage would ac-
crue to the Mexican forces. il is said
The advantage to the American army
would consist not only of permitting
the release for active service OF the
$4,000 regulars guarding the border by
substitution of National Guardsmen,
but in the concentration of supplies for
big campaign. The mobilization Of
transport facilities and the rehabilita-
tion of the flying arm OF the service.
The activities Of the quartermasters
department Of the southern division
have been diminished in no way since
the report was received that the Amerl-
can prisoners taken at Carrizal would
be surrendered to the American author
tiles. The department has continued
to arrange for camp sites for the nu'
morous National Guard units not yet
started for the border. On July | bids
will be opened here for great guam
titles Of provisions.

The Women's Supply Committee has
also got down to hard work. and is
organizing a hospital relief system.
One OF the most trying problems Of

Offset this the Employment Registra-
