Says Hughes Sure to Win.
There IS no question as 10 Hughes's
election to the presidency. and presi-
dent Wilson's defeat has been assured
by his Mexican policy and his tanning
through congress OF the Adamson eight
hour bill. in the opinion OF Mr.. Creager.
"Of course. we Texans have been
bound by traditions and the state has
always Oeen Democratic said Nj
\, Cresg ger Monday afternoon. but il the
voters would break away from their
memories OF the way their fathers,
grandfathers and great grandfathers
voted and would cast their ballots as
they really felt. there is no doubt that
the Republicans would carry the state
this year" said Mr. Creaser.
Voters Breaking Aaway.
Thousands OF voters are brea king
away from the Democratic party in the
southern states because Of president
Wilson's wavering. unsatisfactory poll
; cies- His Mexico policy has resulted in
the present deDlorabIe situation He has
not only meddled. but he has failed to
take 2 firm stand and the result is the
present ridiculous situation
MeXicans Respect Europeans.
The MeXicans respect the rights Of !
The British and Germans in their coun-
Try, because these countries have never
interfered. but the NeXicans know that |
they stand ready to protect their citi- !
zens lives and property at any cost
. When Mr. Hughes said that he would |
thave acted firmly for the protection Of |
Americans he meant just what he said !
a firm policy would have obviated !
any necessity for Intervention and had
president Wilson acted wisely there 4
would have been no need in the pos
ysibility Of Intervention. However. be
'iieve that Mr.. Hughes would order in /
Prevention If the occasion demanded II. I
and 7 think any ed-blooded man with 4
any sense of national decency would I
viii lose thousands OF votes in the Dor
der states for the very reason that he /
has bunEled the situation.
RapS adnmSon Bill
7 do not believe that the tanning 3
of the AdamsOn bill through congress
viii result in the number of labor votes
Afhe Democrats are hoping for Union
labor is by no means unit on the 4
Adamson bill Many OF the sanest Ia
Dor leaders believe that dangerous I
precedent has been set But for every Z
labor vote which Wilson may gain as a
result of the AdaTGon hilTs passage.
We viii gain vote II offset II from the
farmers and business men or the cOun-
try
NY state campaign is being
based on the extravagance Of the last
few Democratic administration and
Gov FerEusou's meddling with the state
university. The states finances are !
At their very latest ehb. despite the [
heavy increase in taxes Since 1908 the !
times increased For every dollar Of [
taxes collected in 1908. $40 was col
iecJed in 1915 And vet the state is Z
Broke and don't believe we have had {
seven times as much government as We
had in 1908 The money simply has
been frittered away
Charges ExtravaEanee
Until the first Ferguson admins
tration the highest amount apprOpri-
ated for governors appOintees was less
than 100000 a year In the first Fer
Euson administration II went to $3.50
600. which the governor admitted. and
Ehis year 7 have figured il out that
amount is dangerously near 100000.
Besides this. the governors med
ding with the state university has
caused widespread Indignation. He has
TO Gust six professors who
disagreed with him. and when turned I
down by the board OF regents he has
tried to force the designations of three
members Of the board in order that he
might have his way This souabble is Z
still on Alumni Of the state university Z
in all parts Of Texas are holding in
dignatiOn meetings
No Wilson Money.
There is no Wilson money to be had
IN Brownsville. The betting odds. of I
course, are not conclusive. but the fact
That the odds in New York city are two [
10 one in Hughes's favor and that
Lloyd's in London is offering TO !
against Wilson. is pretty good indi- 7
