latin Americans Cannot Rec.
onCiIe Speech with Conduct
Of Foreign Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Sept. latin
American diplomats are amazed at the
statement in President Wilson's speech
of acceptance: 80 long as the power
OF recognition rests with me the gov
eminent OF the United States will re-
fuse to extend the hand of welcome
TO any one who obtains power in a
sister republic by treachery and vio-
lence."
This is the presidents explanation
of his refusal to recognize Huerta and
of his Mexican policy, Yet the records
show that President Wilson has DELHI
erately violated this dictum in several
instances since the case Of Huerta
arose.
The most fragrant example was the
presidents recognition extended to
Col. Benavides, head Of the revolution
airy government in Peru, in February,
1914. His government was founded on
assassination, established by assassina-
ton and had no vestlge Of constitu-
tlonal authority back of 1t. 1t came

HUGHES CLUB TO.
Be FORMED
HERE
Other Places in the County Will
Have Similar Organizations
in near Future.

Work looking towards the organi-
cation of Hughes clubs over the coun-
ty has been started at Republican
county headquarters by State Senator
Roy E. Parrish, chairman OF the com
mittee. Application petitions are now
being printed and will be distributed
in few days.
The largest club WILL of course, be
in Clarksburg. Chairman Parrish
said Thursday morning that he ex-
poets the local organization to have
at least 1000 members within three
weeks after 1t is organized. Clubs
will also be formed at Salem, Shlnns-
ton, Lumberport. Bridgeport and
other towns in the county.
The purpose OF the clubs Will be TO
work for the election of Hughes and
Fairbanks to the presidency and vice
presidency respectively. and also for
the election of the Republican state
and county tickets. The clubs Will
have regular meetings. at which plans
for the campaign will be discussed,
and it is probable that one or two
banquets will be given.
II ives alsu sara at county mead
quarters that the Young Mems Re
publican Club, which did such good
work for the ticket in 1914, may be
reorganl2ed However. this has not
yet been definitely decided upon. 1t
was said that the Hughes club to be
formed here will be open to young
men and If they join 1t as expected
there will be no need for the reor-
ganization Of the old club.

ed for their places of employment the
Amalgamated Association OF Street
and Electric Railway Employees,
which is conducting the strike had
been unable to tie up the subway and
elevated lines, but had succeeded in
Gripping some of the most important
surface lines. With the aid of nearly
5000 and under police protection the
marlborough Rapid Transit Company
was running its trains on subway and
elevated lines almost on normal
schedule. The strike has spread, how
ever, to the car men of the New York
Railways Company, which operates
al but two of the important surface
lines in the boroughs of Manhattan
and the Bronx. Lines in Brooklyn
n the system Of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company are thus far at

Five thousand policemen were re-

he protection of motormen heavy
wire screens were nailed to the eX-
posed sides OF the car vestibules.
The public service commission has
started an investigation of the strike
and subpoeaned the general manag-
ar of the PETERBOROUGH Company and

before the commission.
Several instances of elevated trains

More fragrant Than MexicO.

Minister Mcmillan reported these
facts fully to Washington and assumed
that this government would decline to
sanction the newly established regime.
The case was Identical with the Huerta
case in Mexico, except much more
fragrant violation of the spirit OF pop
ular government. Huerta had Madero
and Vice President Suarez imprisoned,
but he became president of Mexico
under provisions OF the constitution
providing for the succession of the
minister of foreign affairs upon the
disability Of the president. Huertas
accession to the presidency was con-
irmed by the Mexican Congress.
Benavldes came into power simply
by killing off those who opposed him.
His acts had no basis whatever in the
constitution of the country and were
not confirmed by the Peruvian Con-
gress. His sole backing was a junta
OF conspirators which forced their will
on the unapproving people by means
Of ready rife bullets. Under these
circumstances Minister Mcmillan
naturally assumed that President will
son would have nothing to do with
Benavides and his junta. The presi-
