TAFT GIVES REASONS
FOR HUGHES SUPPORT
Hits War Prosperity and Will
sons Foreign Policy

William Howard Taft made public
his reasons last night for being on the
stump for Hughes. The opportunity
came through an inquiry from The
Spokane Chronicle" and Mr.. Tafts
reasons were set forth in telegram
he sent the Western paper.
"Mr. wilson said Mr.. Taft, bases
his claims 70 reelection on the prosper
Gus condition of the country and on the
specious plea He kept US out of war
The country is prosperous in spots be
cause of the European warrior which
Mr.. Wilson is not sponsible-whlch
has given TO our industries the protec-
ton Of which his Underwood tariff bill
deprived them and which has stimu-
lated in unheard of measure the ex-
portation of American products enter
ing into the prosecution OF the war
operations of Europe.
"Mr. Wilson did not keep us out Of
war. We kept out Of the European war
because we wanted none of its horrors
and because none Of the belligerents
insisted on dragging US in, and he
brought US into war with Mexico De-
cause his policy there from the begin
ming was one of officious intermeddllng
which is responsible for the distressing
situation now existing, and which, II
not superseded by the saneness and
deep sense Of justice that distinguish
Charles f. Hughes. will inevitably drag
forward to even greater humiliation.

WHITMAN PREDICTS
LANDSLIDE IN STATE
Republican Majority Will Ex-
coed That of 1914, He Says

There is not the slightest doubt but
that the entire Republican ticket, from
TOP TO bottom, will carry this state
November T." declared Governor Whit
man last night. The two weeks OF
solid campaigning | have just finished
during which time | met the leaders OF
nearly every county in the state, have
convinced me that the vote will be a
Republican landslide"
The Governor said that all bitterness
which followed the split in 1912 had
passed. Progressives, he said, were a
practical unit in their support of the
Republican ticket, and the vote for the
state ticket, as a result, would be
larger than in 1914.
William NJ. Calder, candidate for
United States Senator, who campaigned
with Governor Whitman, was of a
similar opinion.
Il am convinced" said Mr.. Calder
shat Mr.. Hughes will carry New York
State by a large majority. He will
carry every county outside the greater
city. Everywhere We went there was
evidence that the rural counties will
roll up unprecedented majorities for
the Republican candidates. In my
Judgment, Governor Whitman and the
rest Of the entire state ticket, includ-
ing myself, will have a majority as
large as Governor Whitman's in 1914
which was close to 100000"
Mr. Calder said that there was no In
dication of Republican detection up

as some reports had il.

Miss Jessie Ashley, lawyer, lecturer

Hotel last night. This morning Miss
Ashley, who with Miss Ida Rauh was

Special Sessions for trial.
There are many who say we should
attack the law which prohibits Us from
spreading our knowledge Of birth con
troll" said Miss Ashley. THAT we have
tried repeatedly 20 do. We can't even
get past the committees. The only way
to circumvent the law-which women,
who are certainly vitality concerned, had
no voice in making-is to go directly
to the public. So my associates and
will continue to break the law. In the
mean time | am going TO fight this case
into the highest courts.
physicians say the normal birth
that after the fifth child both mother
and children deteriorate and that dis
eased persons have more children than
healthy ones. So birth control knowl-
edge, like all scientific knowledge
should be free TO every one"
Mrs. Margaret Sanger, whose birth
control "clinic" in Brooklyn was raided
few days ago, said that a hundred
women had said as much in defiance of
the law as had Miss Ashley and Miss
Rauh.

fed, at. least in so far as physicians are
concerned" said DR.. A. L. Goldwater.

ISL. S. at War or Not?
Wilson's Whin1 Decides
What President Ruled in 1914 Would Be Hostile Act
Has Opposite Construction with National
Elections Pending

are to be considered, we are strictly
at peace.
Presidents Stand in 1914
"The New York Times" on February
q, 1914, printed an interview with the
President, from which the following
extracts are taken:
president Wilson made il plain in
conversation to-day that he had reached
the conclusion that any movement OF
American troops across the interna-
tional border, even with the object OF
merely protecting the lives and prop
erty of American and foreign nationals
would be an act of war.
President Studied Precedents
"This conclusion has been forced
upon him as a result Of an examina-
ton of precedents that have an appli-
cation to the proposal. The examlna-
ton included the case of the Boxer
troubles in China in 1900 and other
complications in the course of which
foreign governments sent their troops
into a country where disorders were
prevailing. In the instance OF the
Boxer troubles, the Chinese central
government, according TO the Presi-
dents information, admitted its inabil-
ity to deal with the rebels, and as the
foreign legations at Peking were in I'M
mediate danger, and the imperial troops
there were not under the control Of any
ordered government, the action Of the
United States and other nations in
sending troops to relieve the legations
could not be construed as an act OF
war
AS a consequence of the present
situation there has been prepared at
the State Department an exhaustive
brief showing all the instances in which
the United States has interviewed IN
other countries with an armed force.
This brief presents a long list OF prece-
dents for landing a military force for
the protection of American citizens or
the subjects OF another nation at the
request of the other nation, or as a
matter of common humanity.
War Not Involved
"The Importance Of this brief lies in
its showing that in all these many
cases of intervention there is hardly
one that involved an act OF war. That
is. thew were all in the line of the broad
principle of international law that
nation is under the moral necessity of
protecting its nationals in foreign
lands, and that the exercise of military
force to extend such protection is not
war.
at is believed to be the conclusion of
all international lawyers who have
been asked for their opinion within the
last few days that it would be entirely
legal for the United States 70 send a
military force across the international
boundary after an inquest upon the
killing of Benton and to proceed TO
apprehend the murderer and execute
him. President Wilson, however, be-
lieves that such a course would be an
act of war, although the authority cited
in the brief appears to show different
construction"

lFrom the Tribune Bureau


Washington, Oct. 29.-The sending
of an armed force across the border
into Mexico is or is not an act Of war,
in President Wilson's opinion, accord
ing to the frame of mind the Chief
Executive is in when he considers the
subject.
At present, with the immediate hope
for reelection sitting on his doorstep,
the proudest boast of his party is that
"he has kept US out of war;" despite
the memory Of Pershing's expedition
and Carrizal. But on February rs,
1914, Mr.. Wilson took different view
of the subject. and asserted positive
ly at that time that TO order United
States troops into Mexico would be
an act of war.
Upon that day the President was
discussing the advisability of sending
soldiers to recover the body Of Will
lam S. Benton, slaughtered on Mexican
soil.
Mr.. Wilson then stated publicly that
for the army TO cross the border, I'M
less its action received the sanction
of the Mexican government. or unless
a state Of anarchy existed, would be
war, and that he could not permit it
for that reason.
Anarchy Didn't Exist
He was then asked If state Of an
srchy did not exist at that time, and
replied emphatically in the negative,
although the government Of Mexico
then was in its most chaotic stage.
Since then armed forces have crossed
the Mexican border and have fought
pitched battles on Mexican soil. But
this, according TO Mr.. Wilson in his
present frame of mind, is not war.
The troops, to be sure, did go into
Mexico presumably with Carranza's
permission. This permission, however,
has been recalled since that time, and
request after request has been made
by the First Chief that the United
States forces retire to their side of the
Rio Grande. They remain in Mexico,
without permission of the Mexican gov
eminent and, in view of the Wilson
recognition of the Carranzs regime,
without the existence of state Of an
archy.
According TO the Wilsonian defni-
ton of "an act of war" in 1914, we are
at present at war with Mexico. Ac-
cordng to the President in 1916, no
such condition exists.
The Chief Executive has thus fur
nished ample parallel for the conflict
ing decisions of Advocate General
Crowder, who has decreed that as far
as the pay of and the pensions for the
men at the border are concerned, We
are at war, but has also asserted that
as far as the Hay militia bill and its
provision for CONSUMPTION in war time

WILSON NSINCERE
MEXICANSCHARGE
Outlook Publishes At
tacks by Carranza
and Chiefs

President wilson's "false friend
ship" vacillating policy and grave
mistake" in sending General Perish
ing's expedition across the border are
denounced by Mexican leaders in an
article to appear in 1.-THE Outlook" to-
day. Not only do they object to his
dealings with their own republic, but
one-General Aware Obregon, Minister
of War-hnds fault with the President
for his European policy. The Wilson
Administration is sanctioning the raids
of Villa and other bandits, it is
charged.
The opinions in the magazine ar
rsignment, in substance, were sent out
Saturday by the Democratic publicity
experts. They had feared, on learning
that proofs Of the articles were to be
sent to the press, that the move was
controlled by their political foes. The
net result of their work. however, was
not to gain friends for their candidate
but merely to obtain additional pub
LEFTY for the article. The proofs were
sent out by "The Outlook"
European Policy Criticised
"The greatest failing of President
Wilson, General Obregon says, "is
that his acts so seldom coincide with
his words. Wilson makes too many
declarations which have no facts be-
hind them. You need not examine his
Mexican policy for substantiation OF
this; just look at the record of his
dealings with Germany.
Another complaint is that
his government tolerates the secret
shipment of munitions to Villa, Zspats
and other Mexican bandits" The min
lister also asserts that the President
should have held back General
Pershing's force long enough to have
permitted Us to arrange TO CO.
operate with Pershing."
Denies Wilson Kept Faith
General Carranza, in assailing the
President, says he considers the Gin
vasion of our country" wrong and IN
fair, adding that Eve cannot make
such acts of your President accord
with his words of sympathy for US"
at is this inconsistent policy OF your
government" ne continues, (which is
responsible for the disfavor in which
Americans find themselves held in
Mexico to-day. 1t seems to US that
your President has not kept faith with
Mexico.
1--WE would prefer firm, frank. con-
sistent policy from the United States
to such a policy as Wilson's. What we
would like from the next American
President, whatever his name may be,
is a Mexican policy which will COM
bine sympathy with frmness and con-
sistency."
Candida Aguilar, another member of
Carranzas cabinet, is as outspoken
against the President as the other
three chiefs of the revolution. The
Presidents policy, he insists, has made
Mexico feel like a man at whom is
pointed a loaded and cooked pistol and
who is kept in this uncomfortable and
uncertain position for a long and nerve
racking perod.
Demands Firm Policy
"The Mexican people" he goes on,
feel that wilson's policy has been
marked By vacillation and double deal
ing, or, at least, that his words and his
deeds have not always been reconcila-
Bile with each other. What Mexico
wants from an American President
whatever his name may be, is a policy
that is firm, frank, consistent and con-
