Baker Again Attempts
to Euade Real Issue,
Committee Charges

New York, Oct, IS. = The follow
ing statement, in part, was issued by
the Republican National Committee
at Republican headquarters last eve
ming:
The campaign OF humbug. pretense
and falsehood which has been waged
by the Wilson administration and its
political managers reached its climax
with the issuance at the War Depart
ment by Mr.. Baker, Secretary Of War
of his astounding statement charging
that some unnamed and unidentified
persons were plotting new Mexican
outbreak before election day for the
purpose of turning the tide OF senti-
ment against Wilson.
Same Baker
This is the same Baker who ten
days ago in Jersey City hkened the
heroes of 30 and Nauey Forge TO
the bandits of Villa az Carranza.
Having at various times denied that
speech, II was TO be expected that he
would deny or modit5 his War De-
partment statement as soon as he
what he had hoped for 1t. But de-
nial came from Secretary Lansing,
who protested that politics was not
thought OF in the matter And Mr..
Baker on his return TO Washington
corro borated Mr.. Lansing by saying
that there was not the slightest politt-
cal significance in his statement.
only one Interpretation of the
statement was possible and that was
that Mr.. Baker was charging the
political opponents OF the Wilson ad-
ministration with plotting active trea-
son. and it is incredible that Mr.
Baker had any other purpose in mind
than that when he issued the state
ment.
Mr.. Baker now seeks to evade re-
sponsibility for this charge, but even
in his efforts at evasion, Mr.. Baker
does not free himself from culpability
Challenged in Washington, Mr.
Baker said that the conspirators tC
whom the statement referred were
not Americans, but Mexieans who haG
come to the American side of the Dor.
der and were carrying on their plot.
ting in the United States. If Mr.
Baker knows of q single man to whom
his assertion applies and does not in.
stantly invoke the process of the Law
against that man, then he is himself
guilty of violation OF his duty and o.
his oath to support the Constitution
and the laws of the United States"

eertities as a verbatim account OF Mr..
Bakers remarks:
Some people say they cannot un-
derstand the Presidents Mexican
policy, and l want to tell yon why.
they have forgotten our own history
and the Declaration of independence.
Why are we impatient at the Mex
leans? We say they do not respect
The lives and property OF our people,
Perhaps they don't. We say they do
not pay their honest debts. They
don't. We say they are Il ragmutfin
lot. We say their moI,cy is not any
good. We say they do not respect
church property. That is also true.
The amazing thing is that people
never respect these things in Il reNotu-
ton. We had a revolution and from
the beginning to the end OF that the
conditions in this country were 50 like
Mexico that it is perfectly astounding

w ashington's soldiers in the march
to Valley Forge stole everything they
could lay their hands on. They stole
the silver vessels from the churches
and melted them up TO buy things TO

OF their churches and out OF the
country. The money OF the so-called
confederation was so worthless that

Perkins Says McC Cormick
Can't Get Away With His
Campaign of Deception

New York Oct. rs. - The following
letter was sent to Vance c. Mccormick.
chairman OF the Democratic National
COMMITTEES. by George W. Perkins. OF
the Republican Campaign Committee;
My attention has been called to
statement by you published this morn
Ing, in which you viciouslS attack me
in connection with some advertising
that is being done in the papers, favor
ing Mr.. Hughes election.
You are conducting the Democratic
from behind shield i'm front
of Your office, from which ie displayed
the slogan, Peace. preparedness, pros
perity, and above this shield are drap-
ed q number OF American flags. The
campaign YOU arc thus conducting is
one OF downright deception. and a
man of Your intelligence must know
that 1T is deception. that it is rlislead-
ing.
This country Is not at peace; it has
not been kept out al war. There has
been no preparedness and our pros
perity is wholly due TO the war in Eu-
rope, and not ut all due to anything
that the Democratic Party has cham
Cioned. or accomplished.
The issue of this campaign at the
moment is, Can Wilson set away with
it?" Can he get a sufficient number
of voters to believe IN your campaign
of misrepresentation and deception. II
so. he can bo elected; il not, he cam
not.
Personally. I have too much re-
spect for the voters CT this country 10
believe that your candidate can get
away with t.. arn confident that
your appeal to the yellow streak in
american citizenship will fail, and fail
ignominiously, as il ought TO. 1t is
enough to make the blood of any pa
triotic American citizen boil TO walk
down Forty-secord street and see tho
American flag flung to the breeze from
overy window in your office. You peo-
pie are mighty prompt to display and
wave the American flag, but you are
mighty tardy in defending and protect
Ing it.
Yours truly.
