 DOUGLAS, Ariz, Oct. 21.-Before an audience that filled the Columbia theater here tonight Judge Joseph H. Kibbey. republican candidate for United States senator. pieced together the kindling wood that once formed the broken blanks of the democratic platform and asked if they had in fact. been just what President Wilson had said they were not four years ago, 'Molasses to catch flies with" How nobly they tcld us they would protect American. lives and American property. wherever situated around the glohe.' said Judge Kibbey. "and how well have they kept the pledge?" he asked
 Judge Kibhev then told of two in- stances of which he has intimate personal knowledge He spoke of a man he had met not long ago who told him that he had gone. to Mexico IT years ago and by hard toll had earned a small competence and how eighteen months ago this man and l his family began to be insulted and | threatened and had failed to get any | protection from the American consul. | who was powerless to protect.
 He told me" said Judge Kibbey, | that he had seen a portrait of Pres ident Wilson torn from the walls of consulate building. torn to shreds and trampled under foot with impre- cation of contempt. He told me that he had seen the stars and stripes of the United States torn from the ! building and ripped to tatters and trampled in the mire Of the street. and he told that he knew that that | incident had been reported to Wash ! inSton and not one word of protest had ever been uttered by the admin istration. He told me that he had to go to the British consul to get protection and escaped from the country leaving there the accumula uons of seventeen years of toll. on a German vessel. oh. think of it. said he; think of the pity of 1t all when one word from a redblooded American president wko meant what he said, would have stopped it all and American lives and property would be respected today in Mexico.
 He was cheered 10 the echo wher he said that his own son had not 'een too proud to fight" when tn, Spanish war broke out. That phras, Too proud to fight ought to F, down in history as equally infamou. with that song entitled. q Didn' Raise My Boy Co be Soldier" sait , Judge Kibbev as he finished a yer, prosperous applause
