No Political Charge Made.

Suggestions that the statement was
so worded as virtually to charge
American political opponents of the
administration Of conspiring with the
bandits caused both Secretary Baker
and Secretary Lansing today to reit-
might that there was no intention to
do such a thing. Both said 1t was
impossible to conceive that any Amer

Prohibition Candidate Says
There Is Nothing to Vote
for in Hughes or Wilson
Campaign,

10y HOHHiHo JOURNAL SPECIAL lthhaD W'NAl
Boston, oct. 27-Only straw issues
have been presented to the public in
/ the present "drab" campaign by eth
er Wilson or Hughes, j. Frank Hanly
the prohibition presidential candidate
declared at a meeting here tonight
He urged that the liquor issue was
! the only one Of consequence confront
! ing the people.
There have been attempts to make
issues" he shouted, but there is no
republican issue, no democratic is
sue. There is nothing save a Wilson
record of vacilation and change and
a Hughes assumption, indefinite and
vague.
Issues Not Taken Seriously.
"Americanism, the hyphenates, mill
itary preparedness Germany, Mexico,
have been paraded, but none of them
has been taken seriously by the mass
of the voters. They knew they were
hut issues of straw and that concern
ing them there is no vital difference
of opinion For this reason the cleo
torate has not been greatly stirred by
either Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Hughes.
They have believed, and do now be-
heve, the simple, obvious truth-it
makes not a whit of difference which
of the two is elected.
There are many sections of the
country where the number either OF
democrats or republicans registering
as sucb is substantiallv below the vote

Senators Borah, Smith and Fall Oppose Any Action that Would Make Senate Recognize Carranza.

WASHINGTON. Feb, 2i.-Only the lack of quorum prevented the con in the Senate of the nomina- tion of Henry Prather Fletcher as am- baSsador to the de facto Mexican gov ernment Rollcall showed thirty-four affirmative and twelve negative votes. This was three short of quorum. The Senate then adjourned. The confrma- tion will be up tomorrow for final vote when the Administration senators said Fletcher would be confirmed without difficulty.
 The Senate reached vote on the nomination after an hours debate Ouposition speeches were made by Porah. Sr.;th and Fall. all of whom declared the continuation of the nomi- ration would be committing the Sen ate to the Administration recogni- tion. of the Carranza government"
