Well in his first campaign he

In his first campaign he pledged

was to drive through Congress the re-

In his first campaign he favored In
PREVENTION in Mexico. In his first year
as Chief Executive he did send an
army to make war on a man (Huerta)
whom he would not recognize as in
authority. Then he withdrew with
out the apology demanded. Then he
raised the embargo on arms and pro-

eminent Mexico had, with arms and
ammunition in unlimited quantities.
Then the bandits he had armed fought
among themselves and he restored the
embargo. Then he lifted the embargo
to equip Villa, the most bloodthirsty
cutthroat in all Mexico. Then he
backed Carranza. Then he sent an
other army to hunt Villa whom he had
armed. Then he decided to withdraw
the American troops from Mexico.
Then he decided he wouldn't. Then
he called for 100000 troops "for bor-
