MeAdoo Praises Wilson.
Praise for President Wilson's diplo-
matte and legislative achievements ana
charges that Wall street has always
dominated the republican party, and
that victory for that party next month
would endanger the country's prosper
ity was voiced here today by William
G. McAdoo. secretary Of the treasury
before a noon political meeting In a
downtown theater.
1.-THE American people are being
asked to put in peril the peace and
prosperity the country Is now enjoying
under President Wilson by turning
their government over to the inexperi-
enced Mr.. Hughes and the organized
hand Of incompatible elements which
are supporting him." said Mr.. McAdoo.
"In one or two months they have
condemned every act OF the democratic
administration In the most unfair and
untruthful manner but the American
people AtIll. are without q definite an
swer from Mr., Hughes as to what they
will do with the government il they
get possession OF 1t.
"The only definite thing we have had
came from Colonel Roosevelt. who
said, discussing the LusitanlaA You
ask me what would have DONE ]
would have seized every interned Ger
man ship"
Demands Answer From Hughes.
Mr.. iMcAdoo then referred to the
seizure by Portuguese of German
ships, and added: f'&a .-s
'tMr. Roosevelt's action would have
resulted in war between the United
States and Germany. Now comes Mr.
Hughes, who shows what he would
have done in the same case. He said
in substance that he would have
threatened the kaiser so effectively
that the Lusitania would never have
been sunk. This is characteristic
evasion, for Mr. Hughes was asked
what he would have done after the
Lusitania had been sunk 1 challenge
him to answer that question.
''Who can doubt that If Mr.. Hughes
is made president. Mr.. Roosevelt will
be the dominating influence and direct
cur foreign and domestic policies"
Taking up domestic affairs Mr. Nc
Adoo said the democratic administra- =
tion had destroyed the system by
which the reserve money Of the banks
Of the country was concentrated in the
banks Of New York. Mr. Hughes, II
elected, he said intends to repeal the
reserve act and establish central
hank.

Denver Historical Members Criticize
SIur Cast on Continental Army.
Denver, Oct. 1s.-Members and Off
Gals OF the national patriotic societies
in Denver expressed emphatic con-
statement regarding the continental
army.
"As president Of the Washington
Lincoln Memorial Association, and
knowing that voice the sentiments Of
many thousand members" said DR..
Clarkson N. Guyer of the Sons Of the
American Revolution, II resent the re-
marks Of Secretary Baker. To say
that the patriots were as bad charac-
ters as the Mexicans is to voice the
sentiments7 Of the Tories who desired
to ruin their own country"
DR.. Shaw Duncan. professor Of his
tory at Denver university. pronounced
the statement Of Secretary Baker IAN
unwarranted exaggeration." The SOL
der Of t11e American revolution was a
man of a much higher type than the
Mexican Of today. DR. Duncan thought.
c. C. EckhaAH, professor Of history
at the University Of Colorado, said:
I'VE can not deny that there were acts
Of vandalism on the part Of the Ameri-
can soldiery, but they were not a ma
ture to place them on a level with the
barbarism that prevails In Mexico"
Here are some other opinions:
J. c. Starkweather Of the Sons Of
the Revolution-"I am surprised that
Secretary Baker would make such a
statement. It was unfounded."
DR.. George Vosburgh, chaplain OF
the Sons Of the Revolution-"All that
Us necessary is to publish the state
ment in black type and add, This
needs no comment"
Mrs John Campbell of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution--,1t is
not fair to cast reflection upon all
the men who fought. Between the
American army and the Mexican army
there is no comparison"
Mrs. J. N. Hall, Of the Daughters Of
the Confederacy-'Tt is the individual
rather than the army that commits
depredations. It is not right to make
SO general a statement
4Mrs T. r Donaldson OF the naugh-
tiers Of the Revolution-"In every
country at war such things have been
done by individuals, but the army can
not be blamed for Il. The statement is
too sweeping
