Tells Pennsylvania Demo
Gratis Republicans are
Merely Finding Fault.
LEADERS DO NOT
OFFER A REMEDY

Now Talking of "Rights'' Once
Forced Its Members In Congress
To Vote In Opposite Manner.

Long Branch, y. j., Oct. 14.-In a
speech before a large delegation of
Pennsylvania Democrats, who came
here with bands playing and ban
ners flying, President Wilson de-
clared today that while he is for
reace, America is always ready to
tight for things that are American"
He summed up his idea of the is
sues Of the present campaign in these
words:
America knows that it is safe with
this choice: peace, continuance of
ne development of business along
the lines which are now established
and developed and the maintenance
OF the well known progressive lines
CT action, on the one hand, or on the
other, a disturbance of policy all
along the line, new conditions, new
adjustments, underlined alterations Of
policy, and. back of it all, invisible
government"
The president discussed what he de-
clared was the attitude toward war
and peace of different elements of the
Republican party.
NVLulnG Done tight.
II understand from the leaders of
the Republican party that nothing
mas been done right" he said. "They
DO not. say that thing done always
is wrong. but the way it was done was
always wrong. They do not venture
to !. say-z7that lis, the private scounsel
does not venture to say--that we
wanted anything but peace, but they
would have preferred some other way
not disclosed. of obtaining peace. The
vocal part says, 1--WE wanted war"
me silent part intimates that we
wanted peace, but wanted another
kind of peace.
They can never get over that
fundamental uneasiness, gentlemen.
that America is in charge of some
body else than themselves. but
America knows that the things that
were done did obtain peace and it
does not know that the things that
might have been done would have
obtained peace"
president Wilson reiterated his
previous declaration that it is almost
impossible to do anything in foreign
afairs, because foreign nations "have
been led to believe that dominant
element of the Republican party is
IN favor OF drawing the United States
into the European war and they have
been shown, with abundant evidence,
that 1t is probable that II the Repub-
Leans succeed, we shall enter upon
policy of exploitation of our neigh
bors in Mexico"

Continuing his discussion of the
foreign affairs. Mr.. Wilson declared
That altho the leaders of the Republi-
;an party demand that the rights OF
americans be protected everywhere,
On one occasion "the Republican ma
chine was able to compel majority
u It's members in the house Of repre-
sentatives to vote that American citi-
zens had no right to travel on the
high seas" He added,
III their leaders believe in the
rights of American citizens, why
don't their followers? II their lead
srs are SO stir to see that Americans
get their rights everywhere, why 40
.hese men act. that Americans shall
get their rights nowhere? One Of
he most regrettable incidents Of
american history is that there should
lave been found men IN the congress
of the United States willing to vote
n that temper"

He reiterated his advocacy Of
eague of nations to preserve the
peace of the world, and attacked the
eaders Of the Progressive party, who,
le said. had betrayed the rank ana
lie.
He also declared that the selection

ne election Of president, because
