Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1916-10-08

Wilson, the Adamson eight-hour law,
the child labor law and the rural cred
Its law will be discussed in Idaho by
Mrs. Magdelen B. Munson, the woman
representative of the Republican ma
tional committee sent to Idaho to as
sist in the campaign in behalf of the
national ticket. Mrs. Munson is the
first woman to be assigned to Idaho
by the committee. Her visit to this
state was brought about as the result
of the request of Miss Margaret Rob-
erts, who asked that the national COM
mittee assign a woman speaker to
Idaho. The addresses of Mrs. Munson
in this state will therefore not be along
the suffrage line but instead she will
handle the issues that confront the
people in the national campaign. She
gave her first address yesterday after
noon before the Parent-Teachers' as
ISOLATION at Meridian and discussed the
jokers in the child labor law.
1t is planned to give Mrs. Munson an
automobile speaking itinerary, which
during the next 80 days remaining, will
take her into many cities and towns in
the state. If rain interferes with these
plans she will proceed with the tin

cities. Mrs. Munson has been a pub
lie speaker for years. She campaigned
in the states OF Kansas, Colorado. Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, etc. While a native
of New York. of late years she has
lived in Kansas. where for 80 years
women have had the ballot in munich
pal elections.
II have been sent to Idaho by the Re-
publican national committee to speak
in support of the Republican national
ticket" said Mrs. Munson. Il will dis
cuss while in this state principally the
! weak Mexican policy of President Will
son and the record Of the Sixty fourth
congress. Incidentally will take uT
the Adamson eight hour law, which Is
not an eight hour law at ALL l will
also discuss other legislation as the
child labor law and the rural credits
law"
BRANDS PLEA A SLOGAN.
How forceful is the plea, Wilson
Kept Us Out of War;" Mrs. Munsor
was asked.
THAT is only a Democratic slogan.
she replied, land can be exploded about
as easily as anything l know of. Fol
instance, will you or anyone else please
tell me what war President Wislor
kept us out of. Certainly he did moi
keep us out of the European war II
the first place, the allies wanted no wal
with a nation like ours supplying then
with war munitions. Germany coule
not have had war with us with hel
fleet bottled up in Kiel harbor ant
surrounded by the allies. 1t is absurd
to think of Mexico going to war will
US; rather 1t was a case of whether
we would restore peace in that countr!
by going into 1t and putting dowI
anarchy and rebellion. Japan has no
intimated it desired war. Therefore,
ask, what war have we been kept ou
| Off"
SCORES MEXICAN POLICY.
1.-The weak Mexican policy that Pres
ident Wilson has followed is surely
open to the severest criticism" con
tinued Mrs. Munson. TT has injured
the United States as a nation and ma
been of such an undecided vacillatint
character as to make Americans bow
their heads in shame. Where W.
should have stood for American right
we have written notes; where we hav
demanded a salute we received none

and Villa captured and punished TO
the murder of our citizens we sen
into Mexico an expeditionary force onl,
to later change our attitude and with
draw It, So it has gone on. In fou
years of President Wilson's administra
ton we find MexicG today In wors
state of anarchy tiNan ever before
Nothing has been accomplished. w
have interfered and interviewed whel
the president has said such was no
the policy of the United States. w
have lost what little respect the Mexi
cans had for us and that of foreig
nations. These are the things that tn
people should know and they can b
very simply explained"
