Arizona republican., 1916-10-01

 dence hal felt the same way about patriotism, and the same way about fighting as MT. Wilson does, we would never had a country. Had Lincoln felt the same way there would be no such thing as the American Republic now in existence.
 Carranza's Cruelty
 It is MT Wilson's recognition of Carranza which more than anything else applies the "acid test" of which MT. Wilson is so fond of speaking to MT. Wilson's own allegations as to why he did not recognize Huerta
 Every argument against Huerta ap- piled with tenfold more truth and weight against CarranZa. Immediate ly after MT. Wilson recognized Car ranza, the latter courtmartialled and shot former member of Huerta's cabinet. Garcia Granados, who had committed no crime whatever except having served in Huertas cabinet. It was a deliberate murder of a man of good character who was at the time in private life; and Carranza had already permitted his followers to assassinate members of the House and members of the Senate of the Mexican Congress. For full particu- lars 1 refer you to the speech of Senator Fall on June 2nd last On April 3rd, 1915, the Americans resi- dents in the City of Mexico sent to the Department of State a letter setting forth that CarranZas troops had without check by him. and act ing by his orders, killed men, out ragged women and raided churches. Moreover, Mir Wilson is himself a witness against his present ally I refer you to the letter of MT. Will sons own Secretary of State of June 4 last. In this letter it is explicitly stated that CarranZiSta soldiers in | September 1915, invaded American | territory at several different points, and engaged in burning and footing American property and killing Ameri- | can citizens; and says Mr. Wilson
 through his Secretary of State, mot
 only were these murders characterz- ed by ruthless brutality, but uncivil- | iZed acts of mutilation Were perpe- | trated." One of these "unciviliZed"
 acts was committed on September
 29th. when some of CarranZa's sold | iers captured an American trooper | killed him and cut off his h cad and ears. Exactly twenty days later, on | october 18th, MT. Wilson expressed pleasure" in informing Carranza
 that he recognized him, Since the
 recognition CarranZa's troops by his
 orders have treacherously attacked
 and murdered American soldiers on
 at least two occasions. If the acts | above recited-which are merely
 samples of the course of conduct CarranZa has already pursued-dO not constitute intrigue and assassin ation, treachery and violence" then
 the words have lost their meaning. | MT. Wilson took pleasure" in lex
 tending the hand of welcome" to
 Carranza, whose own hand is red
 with the blood of murdered men and
 women of his own nation, and whose
 hands unlike the hands of Huerta
 were also red with the blood of mur-
 dered Americans, of murdered Ameri-
 can civilians, and of murdered Ameri-
 can soldiers wearing the American
 uniform. But President Wilson cared
 as little for the deaths of these meT
 as he cared for the honor of the uni } form. lie with pleasure" extend ed the hand of welcome" to the mar guilty Of their murder.
