A REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG.

Nothing so forcibly reveals the des-
perate situation at the Republican Ma
tiOnal Campaign Headquarters as their
attempt TO discredlt President Wilson's
Mexican policy by Movie picture
directed by n pardoned convict whose
idea of II thrill" Is n scene showing
nuns being ravished and whose con
ccption of patriotism Is the President
asleep at his desk.
But after all the principal is respon-
sible for this agent Hal Reid was on
ly trying to earn the $50, 600 approprlat-
ed by the Republican National Com
mittee for Il film which now stinks so
loud they don't want to get within
smelling distance of II. And they ex-
cuse themselves by saying they never
knew it would be so rotten The point
is thls-it wasn't too rotten IL they
could get away with it. They were
caught in the act of trying to put II
over" They were caught in the act
of trying to deny responsibility for It,
Does anyone believe that Hal Reid
went ahead with the faxed film before
he had had his scenario o. KID by
someone I'm authority ut Republican
Ueadduarters2 Everett Colbys In
dorsement, It's corker," is sufficient
proof of this.
That it was in execrable taste or
even treasonable-what was that to
this crowd which has nothing 10 spend
but money! The whole sordid affair
is fit parallel to the Rum, Romanism
and Rebellion campaign which proved
such boomerang to the parties that
started II.
What can you expect of n party
which campaigns on abuse, villiica'
ton, slander, innuendo, and liesi We
agree with the BroVilyn Eagle in won
dering IF there was anything In this
film that was not more than suggested
by Col. Roosevelt I'm his many attacks
upon the Presidents Mexican policy
He has proclaimed President Wilson
responsible for the conditions that he
described. Other have done the
same. In view of this, why should the
PLAYWRIGHT be blamed for adapting the
material to his medium? Can it be
that the villfiers of the President had
to see these things on the screen be
fore realizing how truly desplcable
this form Of attack appears to most
peopleT
The exposure Of the character OF
this putrid film should, says the Eve
ming World, prove a sharp lesson to
Republican campaign leaders. THE
whole affair puts a stigma upon Re

were taken at Rockaway Point-the

"A corker," Says Colby.
Everett Colby, as Chairman Will
coN's representative, was present at
the photographing of number of
the scenes. He called the film IA

The day following the Worlds ex-
pose, the film was privately screened
for George w. Perkins, Herbert Par
sons, james b. Reynolds, Candidate
Hughes confidential secretary,
Chairman WillcoXs private secretary
and other members of the Republican
committee. A pow-wow followed.
4 couple Of days later, an eNpurgat-
ed, denatured and devitaliZed edition
was thrown on the screen for mem
bers of the Republican National Com
mittee. They found the historic
facts sadly less interesting than che
advance notices promised. They did
not even gaze on the picture Of a
pseudo President Wilson asleep at
his desk, while the toning down Of
the scene of the attack on the Catholic
nuns had robbed II Of any value as n
