President recommended four additional
measures to prevent and penalise prohtecr-
ing
"All these measures were rejected by
the Republican Congress, and nothing
was passed by the Republicans in place
of them. Is the administration to be
denounced for failure to enforce measures
which the Republicans refused to pass?
Perhaps the most significant omission
from the Republican platform is in respect
TO the excessive use of money in federal
elections. In spite of the general indigna-
ton aroused by the expenditure of more
than one million and half dollars in be-
half Of General Wood and almost million
dollars in behalf Of Governor Lowden and
the nomination of dark horse as the
result, no mention of the subject is found
in the Chicago platform. The November
elections however. will demonstrate the
fact that the Presidency cannot be auc-
toned.
at has been said that partisanship
ceases at the waters edge. The political
record of the last few months bellies this
declaration. The Republican party in
the Senate and in its recent convention
present to the world the humiliating
spectacle of discordant and conflicting
factions seeking to discredit the President
in his elfoits to maintain the respect and
confidence of our allies
"The Chicago platform declared that
the policy of the Wilson administration
toward Mexico is responsible for the
loss of lives and property resulting to
American citizens in Mexico. Neverthe-
less the provisions of that platform re-
gardng Mexico ale ambiguous and in
definite. Does the plank in the Republican
platform on Mexico mean that if the
property or lives of American citizens
in Mexico are hereafter endangered this
government will make war on Mexico
and establish q protectorate? Why was
the convention not frank enough to
announce a definite policy? Why was
its meaning concealed in multiplicity
of ambiguous words
The President is condemned for
asking authority of Congress to exercise
mandate for Armenia. 1t has never
been contemplated by anyone that the
United States should assume that re-
sponsibility without first prescribing the
