WILSON SOCIALIST,
SAYS J. v. BAILEY
Declares Democrats Must
Repudiate President or
Embrace Socialism
FEARS DISASTER
FOR THE PARTY

WASHINGTON, April lin a letter
to a friend in New York, made public,
here Joseph w. Bailey, former United
States Senator from Texas, warns
against the policies OF President VIII
son as follows:
4 am fully persuaded, - said the let
Ter, "that within the next two years
the Democratic party must either re-
pudlate President Wilson or It mus,
embrace practically all OF the socialist
doctrines. He has already led our
party-or rather I should say driven
our party into a reluctant support OF
many soclalistio measures md before
his term exp res he will have commit
ted US, unless his power Ia that re-
gard Is challenged, irrevocably to So
ciallsm under the name Of progressive
democracy
'What then can you or men like You
say 10 yourselves and 10 your friends2
Will you say that you allowed Mr..
Wilson 10 deceive your You can hardly
excure yourselves on that particular
because every Democrat In the United
states with intelligence enough TO
know what is a Democrat knows that
Mr.. Wilson IS a Socialist or at least he
is not a Democrat II Thomas Jefferson
and Andrew Jackson were Democrats.
"The Socialists understand the at
titude OF the President II Democrats
do NOT; and 90 per cent of the men
who voted for Eugene Debs in 1912 vot-
ed for Mr.. Wilson In 1916. ] say this
because the Socialists polled almost
a million votes for Debs In 1912 while
they polled less than 6N0,000 votes for
their Presidential candidate in 1916,
Where did those 10000 Socialist votes
20? Nobody supposes that they re-
NAMED at home nor does anybody sup
pose any OF them were cast for Judge
Hughes; they must therefore been
cast for President Wilson.

JAP PURCHASE Of
mexican LAND IS
J|NCO 'BUGAB0O'
Sale Found to be Private
Transaction Without In
ternational significance
STORY IS MALICIOUS.
BONILLAS declares
BY The United Press.


WASHINGTON, April THE proposed
sale OF Mexican lands in lower Gallo
fOrnia 10 Japanese interests appears 60
be merely private transaction without
international significance, officials here
believed today.
In the absence OF any official an
nOunccment on the subject the view
conveyed by officials today was that
unless II was clear that a carefully laid
plan Of aggression by some foreign
government was behind such transac-
tiOns as reported going on in Mexico,
the United States Government might not
interfere.
Advices at hand here are that neither
the Mexican nor the japanese govern
mentS are involved In the deal in lower
California.
Mexican Ambassador BOnillas, I'm an
interview with the United Press today
labelled the lingo attempts 10 create
III feeling between the United States
and Mexico through the Japanese
bugabOO" as grOundleSs and malicious.
Regarding the report that Mexican
land Is being conilscated by the govern
ment and sold to the Japs, Bonillas
said:

Some OF the more optimistic delegates
believed the reparaiions question would

"France has perhaps more 20 gain

This does not mean that we DO not
