WILSON TELLS OF
PRESSURE FOR PEACE
President Says He Will Not
Countenance War With Mex.
leo Save as Last Resort.
PEOPLE APPEAL TO HIM

New York, July president
Wilson made it plain in his speech
at the New York Press club ban
quet tonight that he will not coun-
tenance a war with Mexico until
there is no other alternative for set
thing the border troubles.
Again he declared that he was
ready to sacrifice his own political
fortunes in order to carry out his
convictions as to what would be the
just course to pursue in the situation
The presidents audience, composed
of newspaper men, state and munich
pal political leaders and Others
prominent in public life, signified
their endorsement of his position by
repeated outbursts of applause.
They Cry mo. No."
When he asked if the glory OF
America would be enhanced by war
OF conquest in Mexico, shouts of no
came from all parts of the banquet
hall A similar response was made
to his query whether it is America S
duty to carry self-defense to the
point Of dictation into the affairs of
another people"
The president dwelt also on his ef-
forts to serve the whole people,
thousands of whom, he said, are ap-
pealing to him to maintain peace as
long as possible.
II have constantly to remind my
self" he said, that | am not the
servant of those who wish to en-
nance the value of their Mexican in
vestments, but that l am the servant
of the rank and file of the people OF
the United States"
Colby Lauds Wilson.
cambridge Colby, who placed
Theodore Roosevelt in nomination
for the presidency at the progressive
convention at Chicago, paid President
Wilson high tribute, but did not de-
clare unqualifiedly that he would sup
port him in the coming campaign,
as it was reported he would do.
President Wilson sal he had re-
ceived many letters from property
owners in Mexico, but that the : had
been many others from persons
whose names never would be known,
saying to him:
"For Gods sake don't start war
with Mexico unless it is absolutely
necessary"
What Engineer Said.
~ get a great many letters, my
fellow citizens" the president said
from important and influential men
in this country, but ! get a great
many other letters. I get letters
from unknown men, from humble
men, from people whose names have
never been heard and never will be
recorded, and there is but one prayer
in all of these letters: Mr.. Presi-
dent, do not allow anybody to per-
suade you that the people of this
country want war with anybody
II got off a train yesterday, and
as l was bidding goodbye to the en-
gineer, he said in an undertone, Mr..
President, keep out of Mexico And
if one man has said that to me, a
thousand have said it to me as
have moved about the country"

Why have those Moneyed Interests avoided

The doctor came very near defeating the
Railroad lawyer, two years ago. He was
therefore the logical man to beat Dorsey with,
