PRESIDENT WILL IGNORE HUCHES'
 PERSONALITIES
Wilson Will Stand Solely on His Record For Construc-
 tive Acts
TURNS SHARP EDGE
 ON CRITICS CHARGE
Would Feel Mortified If His Accuser Cast a Ballot
 For Him.

lowing are the facts concerning the campaign President Wilson will make for ire-election and the opinions the President holds upon the issues of the day.
 MT. Wilson will ask for the suffrage of his fellow-citizens purely upon the strength of the record his administra- ton has made. He will explain ex- actly why he feels that he should be returned to the Presidential chair, but under no circumstances will he an- swer the strictures of Republican Can dtdate Hughes.
 Will Ignore Personalities. Mir. Wilson will abstain from per- sonalities, although his managers feel that MT. Hughes, for whom he for merly entertained a high regard. has transgressed in his campaign speeches practically the rules of ordinary de- cency and fallen to the level of ward politics.
 MT. Wilson believes that as Presi- dent of the United States it would be unbecoming in him and gross breach of etiquette to plunge into a campaign and follow the example set by Col. Roosevelt by f1guratively batting him. self upon the back and eulogizing the accomplishments of his four years ad- min1stration.
 MT. Wilson is, his managers say, amused at MT. Hughes in more than one particular. Here is one:
 MT. Hughes in effect, said he ac- cepted the Republican nomination to ''save the country" Yet the princi- pal issue of his campaign so far has been the Eight Hour Law. passed after MT. Hughes agreed to become the Re- publican candidate. Evidently. thinks the President, the country required more saving than MT. Hughes at first anticipated.
 Will Not "Waste Ammunition"
 MT. Wilson Is not replying to the criticisms of MT. Hughes at this time because he thinks it would be waste of ammunition if "cannon were used to kill a ny" He believes the supreme test will come not upon ex- traneous issues, such as MT. Hughes has raised but upon the broad prin- ciple of whether or not the Adminfs- tration now in the saddle has done it's duty and done it we'll.
 MT. Wilson Is further amused by the challenges of MT. Hughes con- corning the mission of John Lind in Mexico. The Republican candidate had dared MT. Wilson to deny that Lind was sent down to tho volcanic republic to tell Huerta dle must go, and if he refused to get out he would be "put out" MT. Wilson's reply is that there is no reason to answer the def of Mr. Hughes: that the entire country knows he told Huerta to get out and that he Is out.
 MT. Wilson took occasion today to deny to political associates who called upon him the report that Ambassador Gerard Is returning to the United States for the specific purpose of dis cussing with him the purpose of the Germans to resume the undersea method of disposing of the merchant men of Great Britain.
 Answers Pro-British Charges.
 In connection with the hyphenate issue was given out at the summer executive offices here yesterday a tele- gram sent to the President and his answer to it. It Is assumed to answer for the remainder of the campaign the issue raised by pro-Germans. The telegram sent to MT. Wilson read:
 Again we greet you with a popular disapproval of your pro-British poli- cies. Last year from the Twenty third New Yorkk Congressional dis and from the voteraof your own party. Senator Maritime won because the voters of New Jersey do not want any trucking to the British Empire, nor do they approve of dictatorship over Congress.
 Your foreign policies, your failure to secure compliance with all Ameri- can rights, your leniency with the British Empire, your approval of war loans, the ammunition traffic, are is- sues in this campaign. Do you know that William s. Bonnet, Republican Congressman, ran in the Democratic primaries in the Twenty-third New York Congressional district and boiled 36 per cent. of the total Democratic vote against his regular Democratic opponent?
 "Anglomaniacs and British in- terests may control newspapers, but they don't control votes. The people may be readers, but they are not fol- lowers of the newspapers.
 When, sir, will you respond to these evidences of popular ddsapproval of your policies by action? The Mar tine election and Bonnet vote prove you have lost support among Demo- crats Every vote for Marine was a vote against you, as was every Demo- cratic vote that went for MT. Bonnet in the Democratic primaries In the third Congressioal District.
 JEREMIAH A. OLEARY, President American Truth Society,"
 Some Votes He Does Not Want.
 Here Is the Presidents reply:
 Your telegram received. I would feel deeply mortified to have you or anybody like you vote for me. Since you have access to many disloysl Americans, and I have not, will ask you to convey this message to them.
 WOODROW WILSON"
 MT. Wilson feels that Villa has been of as a factor in Mexican af- fairs and that raid recently made upon Chihuahua was not engineered personally by the Mexican rebel, but by members of what is now described as the Vilistas. The President insists that the Mexican frontier shall be vro- tected against all raids, and adheres to his policy of permitting Mexico, the present revolution, to work ont her own salvation.
