A PICTURE OF G n

The New York World, which once
was outspoken In its admiration for
Mr.. Hughes, now declares that the
people do not know where Hughes
stands, or what he stands for. This
Wilson organ had no such criticism
to make when Mr.. Hughes was gov
ernor. The World said on May II,
1910: "He dictated no nominations,
controlled nc convention, traficked in
no patronage, made no bargains with
officeholders. He has rewarded no.
body for supporting him and punished
nobody for opposing him. What in
1uence he has welded over public
opinion has come through his appeals
to the voters themselves" That is
the estimate of Mr.. Hughes given by
the World six years ago. 1t is a
pretty fair letter of recommendation.
Could the World say as much for
President Wilson? Hardly, for the
president has done all of the things
from which the World absolved

M'NKLEY'S WAR COST LESS
BL0ODSHED THAN WILSON'S PEACE
BY Theodore Roosevelt

| Under President Mckinley we
| had a war with Spain. Under
President Wilson we are assured
that we have had peace" with
Mexico. These are the words.
Now for the deeds. During the
a with Spain fewer Americans
we're killed by the S%paniards
than have been killed by Next
cans during the present peace"
with Mexico. Let me repeat
this. A greater number of Amer
leans have been killed by
Mexicans during these years,
when we are officially informed
that we have been at peace with
them, than were killed by the
Spaniards during u entire war
with Spain. Moreover when the
war with Spain was through, it
was through. But peace still con
tinues to rage as f%uriously as
ever in Mexico. Nor is this
all. The instant effect of the
outcome of the war with Spain
was to put a stop to the dread
full butchery and starvation in
Cuba and the Philippines, and
the entry Of both Cuba and the
Philippines on a career of eight
cen years of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before in all their check
cred history. But during these
three years of Mr.. Wilson's
peace" the Mexicans them
selves have been butchered by
their own bandits steadily and
without intermission ; and Mexi-
can women and children have
died by thousands-probably by
scores of thousands-of starva-
ton, and of the diseases incident
to starvation. In other words,
Mr.. McKinley's war cost less
peace; and it reflected high hon
or on the American people;
whereas Mr.. Wilson's peace
has been one of shame and dis
honor for the American people,
and n of ruin and bloodshed
for the MeXicans.

The President himself has tried to
appropriate for his w advantage
the sentiment of america first" The
Democrats have tried to make his sup
port an act of piety, by adopting
"Thank God for Wilson," as a slogan.
Mr.. Hughes, with rare courage, frank
ness and penetration, is exposing the
fimsy foundation for the claims of
Wilsonian infallibility. He is laying
bare a record of extravaganza, parti-
sanship, sectionalism, incompetence.
wrongheadedness, vaccillation and in
sincerity which destroys the attempt
to make a joss out of the President.
The Democrats must come out of their
ecstatic trance and defend their stew
ardship. The President is to be put
on the stump. We are to hear some
thing beside Delphic prose poems.-

GUARDSMEN PAY THE PRICE
OF WILSON'S ABASEMENT.

Having condoned the repeated
murders of Americans by the
C~arranzistas, and having abased
himself before carranza, and
having aided in placing Carran-
"a in power, what is MIR. Will
sons reward? and who pays it?
The reward is that Mr.. Wilson
has to place 10000 troops on
the border to partially prevent
the raids and murders that his
friend Mr.. Carranza will not or
cannot prevent; and the pay
ment Is made by the soldiers
who are slain and by the fam
lilies of the guardsmen who go
in want because their husbands
and fathers have been called to
the border to make good Mr..
Wilson's refusal to let the regu-
lar army administer such punish
ment to the bandits as to inspire
in them a healthy fear.-From

Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis

E. Hughes.

WILSON ADMITS HE
PRECIPITATED WAR


When Mr.. Wilson forgets him
self he admits that we have
been at war; for example, on
May II, 1914, In an address over
the dead marines at the navy
yard In Brooklyn, he said that
the marines had been engaged
in "a war of service" A war
of service to whom or to what?
Certainly not to the United
States; nor to Mexico; nor to
humanity at large. Was 1t to
