.lPLEAsEs REPUBLICANS

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-wflham r.
Wilcox. chairman OF the republican
national committee believes that
Colonel Roosevelt's flrst speech in
behalf Of Charles e. Hughes, at Lew
istown, Maine last night, not only IL
OF great value to the republican can
didate, but Il noteworthy contribu-
ton to the history Of the nation"
Plungtng into tho Maine campaign,
the colonel assa1led the Wilson ad-
ministration for its Mexican policy,
flayed hyphenism and held President
Wilson responsible for "an evil re-
vival Of non-American and anti
American division along politico-Ta-
cial lines"
This is due primarily, the colonel
said ito the fact that President VIII
son has lacked the courage and the
vision to lead this nation In the
path Of high duty, and by this lack OF
affirmative leadership has loosenod
the moral fibre OF our people, weak
ened our national spirit and has en-.
couraged the upgrowth within our
borders Of separatism along the lines
|Of racial origin.
TIL colonel declared the citizen vho
seeks to shape American policy IN
the interest of the country from
which he or his. ancestors came, has
no moral right to American citizen
ship.
In . statement left ct republican
headquarters before his departure for
indianapolis and givon out today.
based on the advance copy of Roose-
velt's speeoh, Chairman Wilcox COM
mented at length ON the coloneps
denunciation OF the administration's
Mexican policy.
I'VE have all known .',he declared,
sthat President Wilson has constant.
ly changed his mind on the subject Of
permitting the sending of arms and
ammunition into Mexico, but no one
has before presented the evidence OF
his vacillation in as concise and
forceful form as Colonel Roosevelt"
In recognizing Carranza. Colonel
Roosevelt declared President Wilson
not only kissed the hand that
slapped him In the face" but kissed
that hand when It was red with the
blood of American men, women and
children"
"Also to whom other than Colonel
Roosevelt would 1t have occurred to
remark that 1t was unjust to Pontius
PLATE to liken the neutrality OF Presf-
dent Wilson to that Of the Roman pro-
curator" Wilcox declared.
The national chairman called at
tention to Roosevelt's references to
what he termed American interven-
ton in Haiti and the bloody peace"
in Mexico.
'sMr. Roosevelt's speech was pure
and unadulterated Americanism,"
Wilcox declared, land in supporting
Mr.. Hughes, every one must realize
he is wholly unselfish. that he has
nothing to gain for himself and is
actuated solely by motives of patriot
ism"

Western Railroads Will Garry

Santa Fe viii Accept PsrIshahls
Freight at Owners Risk After
Monday, But No Live
Stock.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-While congress
is preparing to rush legislation which
is believed will avert . railroad strike,
central western railroad executives
today Indicated that they would carry
its fight against an eight hour bill to
the supreme court of the United
States. Omcials said such bill might
postpone q strike, but would not set
tie the trouble.
That congressional legislation
would be resisted In the courts was
indicated by Hale Holden, president
of the Burlington, chief spokesman
for the western executives, and e. P,
Ripley, president Of the Santa Fe.
att is my understanding that the
supreme court OF the United States
has held recently in two cases that
congress has absolutely no power TO
.fix wages and that is what the Adam
son bill amounts to, according to my
understanding" said Holden
'Even II congress passes the bill
that doesn't mean the railways will
agree to it. I don't think they will, p
said Ripley. "The unions might ac-
cept the bill and postpone the strike
or call it off, but that win not settle
the matter.
1T would be up to the government;
to sue the railways to compel the
payment of increase Ia wages. Then,
of course. it would be matter for
the courts.
4 II can't see where action by con
gress on this basis would settle the
controversy. On the contrary, don't
think it would" Ripley concluded.
Modification of embargoes by west
ern roads was looked for today. The
announcement was made by the Santa
Fe that perishable freight, excepting
live stock, would be accepted after
Monday at the owners risk.
Other trunk lines with headquarters
In Chicago, have not yet issued sim.
liar orders, but freight officials are
expecting them.
"Such action may be taken today
or tomorrow" said c. w. Gallisan,
general freight agent for the Chicago
and Alton road.
