KNOCKOUT REPLY

PORT HUEON, Mich. Sept. 30 -.
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels charged here today that ex-Presi-
dents Taft and Roosevelt, Elihu Root
and Charles w. Fairbanks are contra
dieting them elves in' their present
criticism of President Wilson.
He quoted from the utterances of
these Republican leaders to prove they
once upheld Wilson's policy with re-
and approved what they now disap.
prove.
The Secretary said.
There is no precedent for the at
tempt TO make partisan issue of the
delicate International questions which
war in Europe anu resolution in MeNi.
co have introduced. Or course in for.
mcr campaigns there have been Criti.
cisms of this or that position. but no
| such ruthless and vicious attack and
misrepresentation as nave been or
ganized this year. The reason for this
desperate drive Is easy to discern.
The country Is so we'll satisfied with
conditions prevailing under Wilson
that partisan Republicans have no H.
sue upon which to get hearing.
Therefore they beat the tOm.tOms. in
/ woke war feeling, and try To distort
! policies that have preserved peace
with honor into something different.

we could crush Mexico and annex
