Special to The Republican,

FL PASO. August 11.--When Presi- dent Wilson touches the golden key which will start the waters of the Rio Grande flowing through the spillways of the great Elephant Butte dam on October IA, he will bring in" 100000 acres of fertile lands in the chain of valleys in New Mexico Texas and Old Mexico. The first meeting of the 23rd International Irrigation Congress will be held at the dam dedication and fol- flowed hy sessions in Fl Paso, October 16, IT and lS
 The Elephant Butte dam is a mass of concrete and steel thrown across the Rio Grande on the desert of New Mexi- co at the point where a great rock, formed like the head and body of mastadonic elephant, seems to drink from the Rio Grande This giant im- pounding dam has formed the largest irrigation reservoir in the world. More than 45 miles in length and eight miles across, the lake stores the melted snows of the Rocky Mountains and these life giving waters are allowed to flow through the spillways of the dam when the land needs moisture for the grow 1 ing season, thus causing the desert l acres below the dam to blossom and bear fruitage.
 l He Ol the ElGpDdll ] Butte dam by President Wilson on l october IA will be an event of world wide importance in the irrigation l field" states James G. McNary, presi- dent of the First National Bank of Fl Paso and chairman of the board of control of the irrigation congress. Tt will mark the reclamation service $ | greatest achievement. It will reward | the pioneer men and women of the lower Rio Grande valleys from Albu- querque to Old Mexico and it will justify the faith of the people of the 1 southwest who have staked their all or the fertility of the soil and the ability
 of the project to carry the waters to | the lands when most needed. Above all, il will be perpetual monument to the irrigation congress. which has been
 conducting d great empire building
 campaign for the past twenty five
 years.
 We anticipate that President Wilson
 will be accompanied by several mem
 bers of his official family, including
 Hon. Franklin K Lane, secretary oi
 the interior. and probably other mem
 bers of his cabinet: Hon. A. A Jones
 first assistant secretary of the in-
 terior; Judge Will R. King, chief eoun.

on the way and at Miles City, Mont, where there was a forty minute stop, Mir Hughes left the train and deliv- cred an address on the village square. His talk there was virtually the same as that made in Billings to- night
 MT Hughes left here late tonight for Helena where he will deliver an address tofnorrow noon.
 In his discussion tonight of demo- cratic principles MT. Hughes quoted from the democratic platforms of 1856. 1860 and 1912.
 "In 1856" he said. the democratic platform said it was unconstitutional for the United States to spend money on internal improvements. Witness the rivers and harbors bill, passed the other day.
 In 1860 the democratic platform said 1t was unconstitutional to charge na- tional banks. Where does it stand on that today?
 Why, that dear old party has been misunderstanding the constitution ever since before 1 was born and 1 don't be- lieve it ever will understand it. "In 1860 the democratic platform de- | clared it stood for the protection of the rights of American citizens wherever they might be. This was reaffirmed in 1912 Now, that was all right. The only question is, why don't they do it !?
 Tn 1912 the democratic platform de- clared a protective tariff was uncon- stitutional. Now they are coming around to the idea just about that much Gndicating a few inches) on the i dyestuffs question. When it comes to a question of tariff, the democratic party hasn't any principles at all. Il is simply party so far as the tariff | is concerned. for votes only"
 In assailing the administration fol it's appointments to the diplomatic service, MT. Hughes declared that some | appointments were of no more ''ust
