Indersed Wilson's Policy.

The telegram Of March s, 1917, is
Incapable Of the construction put upon
It By my opponent. The purport Of
the telegram was 10 indorss the policy
Of President Wilson In bis action to
avert the war. That was perfectly
consistent with the campaign on
which he had been elected with the
slogan He kept US out Of war"
When that campaign was conducted
Germany had oyerrun Belgium and
had been guilty Of all the atrocities
Of which she now stands convicted be-
fore the world. The sinking Of the
Lusitania had occurred before Presi.
dent Wilson had been reelected.
The President and Congress had no,
seen fit On aceoun of these acts to de.
clare war against Germany and the
people Of the country in November
1916. approved the policy Of staying
out Of the war in spite Of what had
happened prior TO that time.
No sane man in this country under
stands and no honest mar would
charge that by keeping cut Of the wal
to November. 1915, the President OF
Congress or the citizens Of this coun
try approved the action Of the German
government in the invasion Of Bel
GUM or the sinking OF the Lusltania
We had, nevertheless, not made thos,
circumstances the occasion Of enter
ing the war.
The President delivered his famou

said; 1T 10 d~evoutly to be hoped tina

This wss 10 days before the tell
gram was signed. In his inaugural al
dress delivered the 9Th Of March, 1911
the President reiterated the same ser
timents expressed in his message Q
Feb, 20, and 10 addition he said w
stand firm In armed neutrality since 1
seems that in no other way we ca
demonstrate what It is we insist upoI
and cannot forego."
II was not until after the Telegram
Of March 9 was signed that the Pres.
dent called IN extra session Of Cor
9ress for April 10. 1917. In that cal
he gave no lntimation Of any pvrpos,
70 ask for . declaration Of war, on III

only about nine knots an hour; that's
about ten miles, so we have a good

see, we are about in the latitude Of

all steel makes it hotter and the decks
