ment was planted by British agents
Under date OF March 3, Hearst sent
the following message to Carvalho:
L feel congress should remain III
continual session and protect the
peoples liberties. This making a die
tator of president, desperately dan
gerous precedent. 1t may do no I'M
mediate harm with a coed presiden.
but it may do immense injury with
some bad one. wilson is
federalist as 1 wrote in first year OF
his term and as Francis showed ar
alien and said in editorials. Fed
eralists are autocratic in tendency.
President of this republic today
has more power than any king in any
constitutional monarchy in the WorlG
If he gets more<he will be a dictator
and possibly a idespot. 1t is the duty
OF true Semocrats to be vigilant, es-
pecially as all these encroachments
on popular rights are being made In
the name of democracy.
Requests Big Cartoon

Under date of March 4, this tee
gram was sent to Carvalho.
Think beneficial thing senate nCt
to give president great powers :
manded. If my telegram of yesterday
explaining my opposition to such pow
ers and advocacy of extra session was
not printed in Sunday paper, please
elaborate it somewhat and nike it an
editorial approving action of senate
Speak very highly of Wilson; say he
is good president and undoubtedly
meant to use power for good purposes
but the precedent is d dangerous one
to establish, and senate did well to re-
tain its powers and rights and protect
the liberties of the people.
Say that the few senators whu
voted to retain the rights and func-
tons of that body constitute a roll OF
president, but they had a greater re
spect for the institutions founded by
| the fathers. The day will come wher
their action will be commended by al
the people. Print their names"
Hearst in a message to the New
York American, dated February "A
outlined instructions to be cabled tt
William Bayard Hale then a Hears
correspondent in Berlin.
instructions to Hale
The Hearst message of February 2
follows:
Il firmly believe that the vast ma
jority of the people of the United
| States are entirely industrious of wal
with Germany. 1 believe also that the
people of Germany are equally unde-
| sirous of war with the United States
Under such circumstances, cannot see
why the century old friendship of the
United States and Germany cannot be
maintained and perepetuated by the
high minded and humanitarian rulers
and political leaders of our respective
countries. We in America have just
celebrated the anniversary of Wash
ingtOn's birthday and this should re-
mind US that the friendship of Ger
many and the United States was in
augurated by Washington and Fred
erick the Great, two of the ablest and
wisest, and most far-seeing statesmen
that any nations have possessed in the
history of the world
May the statesmen of our respective
| countries today heed the advice anc
follow the footsteps of these two great
| leaders of men and builders of nations
The course of my newspapers ma:
| been fair to Germany, not because | an
| pro German any more than | am pro
! ally. l am merely patrictically inter
ested in the welfare of my own countr.
and enthusiastically interested in tn
progress of the world.
4 am sure that the United State
will value in the future the consisten
friendship of Germany, as it has value
it in the past, and l think that mos
| Americans realize that Germany, Xix
France, represents in Europe a polit
ical, social and economic progress
similar to our own.
Americans from childhood hav
been taught to regard both German
and France as their proven friends
| We, therefore deeply deplore the wa
between these great nations whic
have contributed so much to the prog
we earnestly desire to employ the in
fluence of our country, not for the ex
tension and protraction of the war, bu
for the promotion of a just and lastin
peace"
Held Up BY Congestion
w. N. Shiber telegraphed from Ne'
York two days later to w. ]. Willie
combe, at Palm Beach, that the mes
sage to Hale was held up by congestio
at the Tuckerton, n. J., wireless sta
ton. On the same day Willecomb
sent a message to r. C. Mitchell, car
of the New York American, asking hiI
to make strenuous effort to kill tn
long cable to Hale sent by chief 0
oath"
On February 20, the Univers;
League of Peace sent this messas
from New York to Mr.. Hearst:
Thank you for your noble work 0
behalf of peace. People want no wa
!. against Germany. England arch enem
of United States. Country not prepare
for war. Let US prepare embargo o
