BIDS FOR PROGEESsNE VOTE

% vigorous denunciation of the Re
publican party President Wilson to-
day told a delegation OF young Dem
ocrats from New York that the GER
tain prospect" of Republican success
in November is that 1--WE shall be
drawn in one form or another into
the ENVIRONMENTS of European war"
and that the force of the United
States will be used to produce in
Mexico the kind of law and order
which some investors in Mexico con-
slider most to their advantage"
The President made his first out
and out political speech of the cam
paign from the porch of Shadow
Lawn. Urged on by the enthusiast
tic cheers and waving banners OF
several thousand young men, he as
sailed the Republican party and
laid down the issues on which he
believes the campaign should be
fought.
Am | not right that We must
draw the conclusion that if the Re
publican party is put into power at
the next election our foreign policy
will be radically changed?" he ask
ed. Il cannot draw any other infer
ence. All our present foreign poll
cy is wrong, they say, and If it is
wrong and they are men Of CON
science. they mist change it. And If
they are going to change it, in whas
direction are they going to changn
it? There is only one choice as
against peace, and that is war"
Charging that Republicans take
the counsel of those who have hith-
crto acted as the counselors OF the
vested interests in Mexico" the Pres
ident declared that these men had
tried to get what they wanted from
him, but had failed and now are
going where they think they can
get it,
Still discussing the foreign affairs
of the country, President Wilson
stated that on account of the p0lit-
ical uses made of foreign relations,
''it is going to be practically impos-
sible for the present Administration
TO handle any critical matter con-
corning our foreign relations. be-
cause all foreign statesmen are wait
ing to see which way the election
goes, and in the meantime they
know that settlements would be
inclusive"
Most of the Presidents address was
devoted to criticisms of the Repub-
lican party and to outlining his own
plans. In front and below him were
young Democrats who came here
from New York on special trains and
with bands playing and
banners waving more than a mile TO
Shadow Lawn. Frequently he was
forced to stop speaking for several
minutes while the applause lasted.
A bid was made by the President
'or the votes Of Progressiyes. lie
praised the Progressive party as hay-
ng "tEe rca, red blood OF human
sympathy in its veins" ana declared

hings the Prcgrassiycs wanted done. /
Briefly the Prosideu. referred 10

Again attacking. the Republican .

publican party.
Outlining the program os the
Democratic party Mr. Wilson said Il
