MAINTENANCE OF
AMERICAN RIGHTS

Had this Government by the
use Of both informal and formal
diplomatic opportunities left no
doubt that when we said "strict
accountability" we meant pre-
cisely what we said, and that
we should unhesitatingIy vindi-
cate that position, | am conf
dent that there would have been
no destruction Of American lives
by the sinking of the lusitania.
There. we had ample notice: in
fact. published notice. Further
more. we knew the situation
and we did not require specific
notice. Instead of whiting
away our formal statements by
equivocal conversations, we need
ed the straight direct and de-
cisive representations which ev-
cry diplomat and foreign office
would understand. believe
that in this way we should have
been spared the repeated as
ssults on American lives. More
over, = firm American policy
would have been strongly sup
ported by our people and the ep-
portunities for the development,
Of bitter feeling would have
been vastly redueed.-From Mr..
Hughes speech Of acceptance.

TRUE iNWARDNESS OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT,

In the Spring of 1914, occur
red the capture OF Vera Cruz.
Men from one of our ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our Admiral de-
manded a salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the President
went to Congress, asking au-
thority to use the armed forces
OF the United States. Without
waiting for the passage Of the
resolution. Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that a shipload
of ammunition for Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was 4 natural opposition to this
invasion and battle occurred
In which nineteen Americans
and over a hundred Mexicans
were killed. This, of course,
was war. Our dead soldiers
were praised for dying like
heroes in war of service.
Later. we retired from Vera
Cruz. giving up this noble war
fare. We had not obtained the
salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained repara-
ton for affronts. The ship with
ammunition which could not
land at Vera Cruz had soon
landed at another port. and its
cargo was delivered to Huerta
without interference. Recently
the naked truth was admitted
by Cabinet officer We are
now informed that I'VE did not
go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta
to salute the fag." We are
told that we went there "to
show Mexico that we were in
earnest in our demand that
Huerta must GO" That is. we
seized Vera Cruz to depose
Huerta. The question OF the
salute was mere pretext.-

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to
reduce the cost of living. This
they have failed to do; but they
did reduce the opportunities of
making living. Let US not for
get the conditions that existed
in this country under the new
tariff prior to the outbreak of
the war. Production had de-
creased. business was anguish
ing, new enterprises we're not
undertaken. instead OF expan-
sion there was curtailment, and
our streets were filled with the
unemployed What ground Is
there for expecting better con-
ditions when the unhealthy
stimulus Of the war has spent
its force and our industries and
working men are exposed to the
competition of an energized Eu-
rope?
II Is plain that We must have
protective upbuilding policies.

DUTY OF THE ADMlNiSTRA-
TON TO STOP PLOTS AND
CONSPlRACIES.

We denounce all plots and
spiracies in the interest of
any foreign nation Utterly in
tolerable is the use of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every Am
erican must unreservedly con-
denim them, and support every
effort for their suppression. But
here. also, prompt, vigorous and
adequate measures on the part
OF the Administration were
needed. There should have
been no hesitation; no notion
that 1t was wise and polite to
delay. Such an abuse of our
territory demanded immediate
and thorough-going action. AS
soon as the Administration had
notice of plots and conspiracies,
1t was its duty to stop them
1t was not lacking in resources.
Its responsibility for their con-
tinuance cannot be escaped by
the condemnation of others

IN PREPAREDNESS THE 40
MiNlSTRATlON HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the Administrs-
tion has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited" Only
about a year and a half ago we
were told that the question of
preparedness was not a press
ing one; that the country had
been misinformed. Later, under
the pressure of other leader
ship, this attitude was changed.
The Administration it was
said, had learned something"
and 1t made belated demand
for an increased army. Even
then, the demand was not prose
cuted consistently and the pres
sure exerted on Congress with
respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent.
We are told that the defects
revealed by the present mobili-
cation are due to the System.
But 1t was precisely such plain
defects that under the constant
warnings Of recent years. with
the whole world intent on midi
tary concerns, should have been
studied and rectified. The Ad-
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. APP.
parently, 1t is now seeking to
meet political exigencies by its
naval program. But 1t has i'm
posed upon the country an in
competent naval administration.

expense of the railroads, overlooking
the fact that he was sticking the
knife into the farmer, fruit grower,
stockraiser, manufacturer, and mer-
chant, and incidentally into all the
100, 900, 900 people OF this country,
since increased wages for railway en-
ployes means increased freight rates.
1t was a masterful stroke for the pres
ident of the United States to propose,
since his proposition automatically
brings to naugnt the years of labor in
the direction of arbitration. The
railroads have agreed to submit the
facts to a national arbitration board,
abiding by the determinations of such
body, sitting as a court, hearing
evidence, taking testimony, investi-
eating railroad earnings and profits,
cost of living, wages, and all facts
bearing on the case, including the
eight hour day. President Wilson
proposes to sweep arbitration aside
and 81 ant the demands the of employers
without regard to facts or the justice
of the demands. He overlooks the
fact that the country at large has a
right to be heard.

WHAT ONE BIG MAN
THINKS OF ANOTHER

President w. II. p. Faunce.
Of Brown University. is pref
ty live wire who keeps abreast
Of the times. has keen powers
Of observation. and knows a
good man when he sees him.
Here is what he has to say
about the Republican Candidate
for the Presidency:
81 have known Justice Hughes
intimately since we were stu
dents together at Brown and
have seen him a thousand times
at work and at play. NJ, man of
our generation has a finer com
oination Of character and intel
lect. Absolutely fearless. IN
selfish, loyal to American ideals,
he is worthy Of nations trust.
"All his friends know that be.
hind the dignity Of bearing is
a rich fund Of huron and good
fellowship. Whether he is climb
ing a mountain. reading novels,
playing with his children, re-
sisting political lobby or de
livering the opinion Of the Su-
preme Court, he is ever the
same rugged, democratic. fair
minded American. His varied
experience has given him wide
horizon and sympathy with ev-
cry aspect Of American life.
HE possesses two qualities
rarely found together-the Judi
ciai temper and the capacity for
swift and resolute action. Un-
der his administration the foo
which now besets many public
questions would be cleared
away.
"His penetrating mind goes to
the heart Of any subject he Sc
lects and strips off the irreIe-
want at once. Such mind Is
peculiarly needed amid the In
trieate problems that now con-
front America.
I'VE need more than good in
tentions. We need clear vision.
sound judgment, strong will, un-
hesitating decision. In short,
we need Charles &. Hughes"

In peaceful vocations the sort of

that the recurrence of war is not

We denounce all plots and con-
spiraces in the interest of any for.

Adequate preparedness Is not mill.

During this critical period, the only
danger of war has lain in the weak
course Of the Administration.
The Nation has no policy of ag-

no desire for any part of her terri

We propose that in the competitive
struggle that is about to come the
American workinsman shall not suf-

This representative gathering Is a
happy augury. 1t means the strength

profound sense Of humiliation.

Some time ago, considera-

to have the vote. as | believe
they are, 1t seems to me entirely
clear that in the interest of the
