VIII Submit to No Wrong.
ION the other hand, will not or
shall not. as you prefer, submit to any
wrong against any American citizen,
with respect to either his life or his
property, by any government. This
statement is made in all solemnity,
with enmity for none and friendship
for all. If 1t particularly applies TO
Mexico, the application has been d.
rected by the robbery and murder OF
hundreds of our own people in that
unhappy country who were lawfully
there and were entitled to protection
upon Americans are largely the conse-

hands Of the senate and twice he put
the opportunity aside, because he
would not accept reservations design

rights. He still holds Article 10 to
b the heart of the covenant. SO does
the Democratic platform. SO does the
Democratic nominee To assume that
the nominee would accept the reserva-
tons rejected by. the President and
denounced by the party platform is
