ALLEN X. SWAN HOLDS
RUSH SPRINGS AUDIENCE
Defends Policies Of Democratic Admins
lraIiOn at Mass Meeting and Discusses
Leading Vital Issues

Allen X. Swan, assistant county at
torney, spoke at verden last Saturday
afternoon at three o'clock in the place
Of Judge F. M, Bailey who was unable
to iii the appointment made for him
at that time.
Mr.. Swan reports that there was a
fair crowd present at the time, and
that the hearers were attentive during
the entire speech Mr., Swan took the
position that the record Of the present
Democratic administration was one Of
astounding achievement and construc.
tive progress; holding that It has no
parallel in history
when we think, said Mr.. swan.
4of the things which that great man
Woodrow Wilson has done We can but
be aatounded al this colossal intellect.
This possession Of wlaeh has meant
mere 10 the safety of American life
and the upbuiIding Of American honor
and Integrity than amy other thing ia

have faced many crises Every geher.

us, the correct solution of which III.
wolves the safety and honor and Iii.
tegrity Of the United States we are
facing crisis today, and have recent
ly faced many perilous moments.
through which we have been safely
guided BY the fearless wisdom Of our
president.
Mr. Swan went further into Wilson'S
policy OF neutrality, showing by com
parison with history that Wilson's pol
icies regarding our relations with 9th.
er nations are policies sanctioned BY
history, taking the position that vii.
sons policies have more carefully pro
tected America and Americas neutral
ity and citizenship than they have ever
been protected in the history Of the
country commencing very highly the
efforts Of our president to lesep il
out Of war.

Boosts Preparedness


Mr. Swan then discussed the ques.
ton Of preparedness, showing that
when the Republican party turned the
Ireius Of government over to the pres
ent administration. the United States
was in a depIorable state Of unprepar-
edness, and that the present admins
tration has more than tripled the
standing army, and has appropriated
100000 for preparedness as
against slightly over $500. .0o0. 600 ap-
propriated by the Republican admin
istration for the last twelve years.
Defends Mexican Policies.
Mr.. Swan spiritedly defended the
policies Of Mr. Wilson towards aIexi-
so. showing that Mr. Wilson in form
ing his Mexican policies had to be
guided by the history Of the past and
by the hope OF the future; that the
republic OF South America looked with
suspicion upon our Mexaan policy
fearing that the United States desired
to annex Mexico and then when the
South American republics we're in un-
fortunate circumstances pursue against
them war Of conquest: that Wilson
was compelled to show BY his policy
toward Mexico our real unselfishness,
and prove our real friendship and ce-
ment our friendship with the Latin
states Of America; that those who
were guilty OF depredations against
American life aud property were not
representatives of Mexican govern
mept but bandits then at war with the
government OF Mexico.

nary business man With full knowledge
