NEW YORK, Jan. 27-President
Wilson today indicated plainly that
he is no longer too proud to light.
In an address at Aeolan hall be.
fore great crowd OF ministers rep
resenting many denominations, he
said:
Il always accept, perhaps by some
impulse of my native blood the
challenge TO fight"
He added then, that with him it
was not "a case Of knockdown and
drag out" but "a case of putting up
the best reason why your own side
should survive"
In the pronouncement OF his doc
trine as 10 peace and belligerency,
the president obviously attempted to
eliminate from further discussion
the too proud 10 fight" phrase,
which has resulted in greater crit
icism both in this country and Eu-
rope than any other utterance of the
chief executive.

When Mr.. Hughes critlclses the rec
ord Of the Administration the spokes-
men of Mr.. Wilson cry "What would
you have dOne?" They forget that It
Is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who Is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records, instead of crying
what would you have done?' They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record of the Admins
low them down some by-path of rhe-
tOrical hypothesis. all in the effort to
change the subject.
"By their fruits We shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudinte them after
he entered office. AS Governor. he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as a substitute for firm and ron
sistent deeds. He was careful in his
use of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not q
rhetOrician, he was not a latterer. he
was o too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. Wilson's spokesman seek to di-
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes is making upon the record of
the Administration tH asking him
"What would you do?" they are I'M
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
hre recalling to the memory of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor of New
York. II was then that he first said
''public Office shall not be a private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom
Use. There is this about Mr.. Hughes
that makes him so different from Mr..
Wilson: Hughes means what he
says" So II is that the campaign Is
really a contest Of character between
two men. with sincerity as the differ
entiating and deciding factor.

Mexico, has been made by the
Republican State Committee
with reluctance; and it has been
made solely because this man
who is the directing mind in the
Democratic campaign of libel,
has gone so far that simple JUS
tice demands that he be placed
correctly before the people in
the light of the facts in his re-
cord.
The Republicans in presenting
these facts might be justified in
stating that the letters of a
dead woman will defeat A. A.
Jones for the United States
Senate.
There is, however, no desire
for sensational statement on the
part of any Republican. The
facts as they are presented are
sufficient. They will be per-
mitted to speak for themselves.
These notes are presented by
means of photographs of letters
written by a dead woman, and
that woman the wife Of A. A.
Jones. These facts, as revealed
by these tragic letters, will be
left to the people of New Next
co, for their judgment upon the
same.
The original of these letters
have been in the possession of
the Republican State Committee
since the very beginning of this
campaign. 1t was the opinion
of those bringing them to the at
tention of the Committee that
justice to the people of New
Mexico demanded their publ
cation. The task was of such a
nature that the Committee hest
tated and refrained, and would
still refrain but for the fact that
now plain justice to the Republi-
can candidates demands that
SANDER be met with facts and
distorted records with the re-
cords themselves, as they stand,
without establishment.
The statement of this record
is not a pleasant one. 1t is not
a statement for the general
public. But it is a statement of
the record of A. A. Jones to which
the voters Of New Mexico are
entitled before they proceed to
cast their ballots in the election
of Tuesdsy next.
The letters referred to here
the originals of which are in the
Republican State Committee,
have been photographed. From
these photographs plates have
been made, and from these
plates a papmhlet has been print
ed, which pamphlet is now being
distributed to the voters of New
Mexico.
There will be no comment
here upon these letters, or the
facts therein stated. There will
be no further reference to the
facts in this record by the Re-
publican party managers. This
present statement is made for
general circulation only in order
that there may be no ground for
a charge of concealment of
secret attack. The record has
been placed before the vo tiers
squarely, openly, after long
elaboration and because of the
final conclusion that the voters
of New Mexico are entitled to
these facts concerning a man
who has caused his opponents to
slandered without mercy, while
at the same time causing him
self to placed before the people
in a light that is not in accord
with facts.
The record is before the voter:
in the case of A. A. Jones anC
the decision rests with them.

Ana county and throughout the
state have been grafters, cor
uptionists and thieves.
The Santa Fe Few Mexican, on
Saturday, October 26, printed in
black type across the top Of its
irst page the statement that "A
lea d mans tale" would defeat
one of the Republican candidates
md again on Monday, October 80
he statement in large display
hat dead men rise to point ac-
,using finger" at a Republican
candidate.
These headings have been fol
owed by a mass of vile insinu-
alton, barely escaping direct
statement and always sufficiently
lirect to convey an impression of
horrid wrong-doing.
Were there a shadow OF basis
for these publications and for the
spoken libels of the Democratic
campaigners the situation might
be less revolving to men whose
sense of justice and decency is
sound. But the men who in
spire these attacks and the news
paper owners who publish them
know them to be without any
foundation, without and justif-
cation; and have planned them
deliberately as a part of a mons
trous campaign of falsehood.
For several years A. A. Jones,
the Democratic candidate for the
United States Senate, has been
the directing force in the Demo
cratic party in New Mexico. He
is the directing force in the
present campaign. Remaining
always in the background of the
attack and posing always as a
man of high principle and pure
life. Jones has planned the
Democratic campaigns and has
pulled the strings which have
directed the out pouring of slime.
He has been careful to speak
none of the libels PERSONAL. But
those lbels have been spoken
in his presence and with mis-
knowledge consent and con-
venience. He is the real head of
Democratic organization and the
campaign it has waged and is
now waging is of his planning.
In Justice to it's candidates and
its membership the Republican
party cannot longer sit quit and
permit unworthy men to SANDER
men of clean lives, square re-
cords and sterling character. 1t
is not necessary that Republicans
reply to a SANDER with SANDER.
1t is necessary, however, that it
place before the people squarely
and accurately the characters
and the records of the men who
are directing the campaign of
villifcation against the Republi-
can candidates.
The facts in'the case of A. A..
Jones were known to the leaders
of his party when he was nomi-
mated. Had they been known
to the rank and file of his party
Jones would not have been nomi-
mated. The Republicans do not
charge to the rank and file of
New Mexico Democrats any
part of the campaign libel which
the Democratic leaders have
made. The facts in the case of
A. A. Jones were known to
many leading Republicans. Nc
reference has been made to those
facts by any Republican holding
a responsible position IN the
party organization, up to this
time. 1t had not been the pur-
pose of Republicans to make any
such reference, although failure
to do so was an injustice to the
people of New Mexico.
The statement of the facts in
the case of A. A. Jones, now
being made to the voters of New
