THE FAIRBANKS HASH

I'm Portland Mr.. Fairbanks
based his argument
~ against Wilson on the
ground the president has not
kept us out of war. The fol-
lowing is from the Oregonian
report:
Mr.. Fairbanks ridiculed
the overworked democrat
ic idea that the president
has kept the country out
of war. The blundering
occupation of Vera Cruz
involved every element of
war, he asserted.
ASK, if you will, the
fathers, mothers, brothers
and sisters of our brave
boys in Vera Cruz, who
now lie buried at home, if
there fas not war in Mex
ico," he besought.
The honorable vice presi-
dental candidate is indeed a
cool one if he thinks such stuff
will go far with our voters.
There is a quite general i'm
preston that we have avoided
war with Mexico as we'll as
with Germany. Mr.. Fairbanks
will have to rise very early in
the morning to convince any
one to the contrary. Besides
if Wilson has gotten the coun-
try into war why are the tories
eternally railing at him for be-
ing a pacifist president and for
failure to use force.
The republican strategy is

won't work to charge him with
being too bellicose and with
having hurled the country in
to war. They want to season
the food to suit all tastes but in
reality they are making such a
mess of it none will be able to
stand it.
