THE ELEPHANTS MOUSE

The elephant has abored and brought forth mouse! There is alleged satisfaction among the close party frinds of MT Hughes as well among the enemies of Mir Wilson with the speech acceptance delivered by the former in New York City on the evening of July S1st
 But what are the actual felngs of those gentlemen when in the quiet of their solitude with the newspaper reports of the speech before them save them selves now knows.
 Certain it is the speech pleased Republicans, it carried no alarm Democrats
 The latter do regard it forensic masterpiece or the effort They consider rather the plea of an attorney for the prosecution who has bad case but promising fee.
 In both parties there much concern as to what the Republican candidate who when nominated was an enigma to hcm would the issues which to base his candidacy.
 Through 5000 words he stormed his angry way and at the close there was enlightenment to issues beyond the one Democratic administration was in power whereas he wanted Republican administration, with himself al the head of the government.
 With many words he denounced the record Of MT Wilson and the Democratic party yet made no state ment as to whether he would have acted differently in the presidents place.
 Ee wanted peace and he wanted war
 In one hyserical epigram he America first and America efficient"
 distinct reteration of the Democratic pronounce men on the subject by one who in the light of existing conditions cannot mean it.
 With the disloya leash, the selfconfessed perpe trators of his nomination, a candidacy which dade Abroad" is irrevocably stamped his cry for eff ficency is not dangerous enough for a slogan and is too pitiful even for a successful plea.
 The efficiency he effects to desire will be completely realized before Republican candidate much further advances in his campaign.
 There was absolutely enlightenment furnished as to course with reference unfortunate Mexico kindly Huera though admitting the possibility that he was criminal and a to his country, the miserable bandit Villa, whom by implica- on dignified into cause between this great country impoverished Mexico, the course pursued at Tampico Cruz, and all that he had in his locker was exhausted
 Of course, he would have made Belgium pretext for sending soldiers into Flanders add their fes blood beached the future fertility of Euro pean so or, barring that would have let loose the dogs of desolaton the destruction of the Lusana he would have done something else, certainly in a different way mood what the pur- sued by President Wilson.
 The country needs preparedness, he declared
 Certainly so and right there in his presence in the corporeal flesh former president of the United States partisan and supporter, who in eight years had done by comparison with the Wilson practically nothing in the direction cr preparation.
 Not far away, not, however. the scene, was an other president who deploirng his inability to be
  happy and "augury" of Republican success who had served several years of prior to four years incumbency of the White House. who had state national unpreparedness unfortunate heritage to Mir Wilson.
 And that pretty much the speech.
