10 thevspeaker, seem to be the only
armament Of the administration
against which the hot shot Of Its
critics have pesIstently hammered
Quoting the Presidents Decoration
Day speech, that we hold dear the
principle that small and weak states
have as much right to their sover-
eighty and independence as large and
strong nations" the fine phrasing is
admitted, but they were spoken about
the abstract When it became his
duty to reduce them to deeds IN the
concrete" said Col. Roosevelt, MI.
Wilson Immediately finched." This led
the doughty Colonel up to a finished
consideration Of the chief claim OF the
supporters OF the President that he
had kept US out Of war" which drew
in the Mexican question as the chief
topic OF his address. The entire
ground is gone over with mercilesS
exactness and unanswerable argu'
ment
The dogmatic contention Of the ad-
!! ministration has been that Mr.. Viii
son did not wage war with Mexico.
Conceding that he merely "waged
peace" Col. Roosevelt then sums up
the results of the "watchful waiting
policy, by comparing them with the
war waged with Spain under Preei-
dent Mckinley. which shows that a
greater number Of Americans have
been killed by Mexicans during these
years. when we are officially informed
we have been at peace with them,
than were killed by the Spaniards
during the entire war with Spain. In
other words Mr.. McKinley's war cost
less bloodshed than Mr. Wilson's
peace: and il reflected high honor on
the American people; whereas Mr.
Wilson'S peace has been one Of shame
and dishonor for the American people,
and one of ruin and bloodshed for the
Mexicans themselves. However Col,
Roosevelt goes on to show wherein
the fiction Of peace lies. and that only
by misuse Of Technology can the
taking OF Vera Cruz be described as
an act OF peace and the taking OF
Manila an act OF war.
Col. Roosevelt;s concluding remarks
were devoted to paying fine tribute
to Mr.. Hughes. as man who Will
with austere courage stand for the
national duty; a man whose public
life is a guarantee that whatever he
says he will make good. and that all
his words will be borne out by his
deeds.

It Is a sorry piece Of business for q
man who cannot deal with the truth.
The Governor Is properly indignant
over the latest performance OF this
character assassin, and in another
column Of this Issue stamps his state
ments with the only term that can be
applied to them, and which their un'
veracious character deserve. But
what is to be, expected after the riot
OF calumny and epithet that was en-

such creatures not only strengthens
him with his friends but the people OF

OHIO REPUBLICANS SURE.

The Republicans of Ohio have de-
termined on. short and sharp COM
paign, and the reason for that Is found
in the gratifying results OF the pr1-
mary. which assure victory IN NO
vember. This confidence comes from
digestion Of the figures detailing
the votes cast in the recent State
wide primary elections. In the pri-
mary In 1914, the Democratic vote for
governor was 204,020, Cox receiving
13S,021 and Whitacre $500. This
year Cox polled only 1858 votes,
and his two opponents enough to
bring the total Democratic rote up 10
18S,343, which is decided falling off
from two years ago. Compare this
poor showing with that OF the Repub-
lcans. In 1914 Willis for governor
received 1851 votes and Tod 103,.
O1s, a total Of 232,696. This year the
total Republican vote for governor
was 2S2,476, a Republican gain OF So
900 compared with a Democratic loss
Of $1,000. II the Democrats can find
any comfort in that. the Republicans
say, they are welcome to #.
The national features that cropped
out in the primaries was the dissent
ing vote cast against the renomlna-
ton OF Senator Pomerene. Lentz. his
opponent, polled few short OF $4,000
to Pomerene's 101.s06. This IS clear
Indication OF the growing upopularity
Of the incumbent, and a relative show
ing Of the strength opposed to the
Wilson policies In the Democratic
party. In the prediction canvass Mr..
Pomerene and his friends had pleaded
for large vote for him on the ground
that he had stood by President Wilson.
The Hon. Myron T. Herrick will have
no trouble In defeating Pomerene, as
the total vote cast for the Republican
candidates exceeded the combined
vote for Ponerene and Lentz by over
