Wilson Regime
Called Reign
OF AutOcracy'
Henry Lane Wilson Says
President Is a Ruler
of Secretive Methods
and Unknown PURPOSES
Cox Made Submission
Democratic Nominee Re-
ceived Blessing and Kiss
of Peace, He Asserts

oGDENSBURG, N. Y, Sept. g.
President Wilson was described rs an
"autocrat Of secretive methods and un-
known purposes" and his Administers
ton characterized as "a reign Of au-
tocracy and incompetence" in a speech
before a Republican meeting here to-
night by Henry Lane Wilson. Of In
dianapolis, formerly American Ambss-
sador to Mexico.
Mr.. Wilson said the Democratic Ma
tional Convention at San Francisco in
dorsed the Wilson Administrations, but
rebelled Eat the dictation of the. French
Lick political syndicate" and nominated
Governor Cox.
For the moment this nomination
was believed to be the signal for the
throwing off Of the shackles Of Will
sonism,'' continued the speaker, "but
this belief was soon dissipated, for the
standard-bearer of the Democratic
party made his pilgrimage to Canossa
and, standing .bareheaded in the pres
ence OF the autocrat of America, made
his submission, received the autocratic
blessing and the autocratic kiss of
peace, and went on his way to make
America safe for democracy.
Cabinet Called q Mere Cipher
"The mantle Of Elijah, with all its
patchwork of autocracy, wastefulness
characterization, secrecy, arrogance
and intolerance, was transferred to
Elisha and humbly accepted by Elisha
Mr.. Hyde was transformed into Dr.
Jekyll."
The greater part Of Mr. Wilson'S
speech was devoted to an exhaustive
commentary upon President Wilson's
Administration Some of the speakers
comments were:
"The reign of violent prejudice, OF
private feud. of petty injustice and
autocratic procedure initiated by secret
conclave was inaugurated. His (Presi.
cipher and his councils were directed
by petty men of unknown origin. In.
trigue took the place of craftsmanship
and by the advice and counsel Of as
unwholesome a group of court favor.

"Too much false altruism and no
enough plain, everyday common sense,

Harding Policy Upheld
BY Mexican Newspaper
sDcciol cable to The T,4bune

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 2.-The Excel
sior publishes, editorially, an article
from prominent political observer
commenting fayorably on the stand
taken by Senator Harding, Republican
Presidential candidate, on the Mexican
question. After reviewing the article
the newspaper says:
"These demands, which give special
reference to Mexico and which the
but a simple redeclaration Of the elc-
nentary right every nation has to
protect it's citizens, wherever they are.
We sincerely wish that the Wilson
policy had limited itself to this pro-
lection without meddling at all in our
affairs, and the lamentable attacks on
foreigners and the responsibilities we
have had to face for these attacks
would have been much less frequent"

Defeat of the Bolshevili

subsequent years. The analogy fails
upon examination. The Bolshevk dis.
aster on the Bug and in the environs
of the Polish capital answers the sug-
gestion.
Lenine and Trotzky are conducting
q government which is a worse despo.
tism than that of the Cars and rests
much more completely on pure military
force. The accumulation of evidence
upon this head is overwhelming. John
Spargo. the Socialist, has published an.
other interesting book on the subject
IN which he confirms, under the title
of 1.-THE Greatest Failure in History
his former conclusions as to the hol-
low mockery Of liberty and the pursuit
of happiness which the Soviet Republic
presents.
Extreme Reds Denounce Lenine
Socialists from England of the most
extreme type, returning from personal
observation Of conditions in Russia
under Lenine, have been cured and are
unmeasured in their denunciation OF
his government and its policies. No
greater penalty could have been visited
upon Emma Goldman and Bergman
than the sending Of them back to enjoy
the heaven of Bolshevism to which
they have been inviting their deluded
VASIiAAS III tulS country. 1uelr punish
ment fits their crime.
The news Of the defeat of the Soviet
forces WILL of course, take some time
to reach the Russian people. The CEN
sorship Of the press is such that every
effort will be made to minimize its
extent. The necessity for further re-
cruiting and the exacting of more sac
rifices will, however, make it impos-
sible to keep from the now suffering
and overburdencd constituencies the
facts, and the knowledge of them must
weaken the Soviet government and
will be one of the important factors
in its downfall.
But while we should all rejoice at
the Soviet disaster, we should hope
that the Poles, too, have learned a
valuable lesson from their severe ex-
perience. They were too full Of the
newly gained power and they laid
themselves open to what has hap
pened. They have enough to do to
consolidate their government and to
put it on an enduring basis without
going to war with Russia. They be-
long to the League of Nations, and
when they have a grievance against
another country requiring affirmative
action to remedy it they should call
upon the council of that league for
consideration and hearing of the mat
ter and await it's recommendation of
settlement before beginning a war.

Senator Harding has made it clear

The defeat Of the Bolshevik armies
in Poland and the saving Of Warsaw
are important events in the history of
the world. It was John Sobieski. q
Pole, who saved Vienna from the Turks
in the heyday Of their power and
turned back the Moslem from Christian
Europe. The present Bolshevik threat
to Christian civilization is just az SER
ious as that Of the Ottoman Turks CEN
turtles ago.
Colonel House in his dispatches TO
The Public Ledger has emphasized
Trotzky and their confederates. They
rely on the active and successful propa-
ganda being carried on in Germany,
Hungary, Austria and in all countries
OF Europe where unrest prevails and
where are the seed plots Of MARKHAM
socialism or Of anarchy.
The Third International spreads it's
net among all the European people and
welcomes everywhere '"direct action"
Our own Socialists embrace the Third
lnternationale with reservations; but
all know that the reservations are
merely of an opportunist character to
still the qualms Of many who hesitate,
but who would be- swept into the whirl-
pool of Bolshevistic action the moment
that open measures were taken.
Great Britain's Hands Tied
The critical nature Of the battles
about Warsaw has been greatly en-
HANGED by the inability of the British
and French governments to come to the
assistance Of the Poles under present
conditions. Great Britain, with Ireland
afame, with troubles in Mesopotamia,
India and elsewhere, and with dam
gerous protest against war with Russia
in her home communities, found it we'll
high impossible. France, burdencd with
troubles in Syria and the Near East
and with the work Of reconstruction.
and with fear of German Vaccinations,
could do little. She did, however, fur
nish the invaluable aid of Foch's chief
OF staff to organize the successful de-
tense Of the Poles and thus has earned
the grateful appreciation of the civil
lied world.
The. previous success of the Bolshe-
vik armies in overcoming those of
Poland and the danger to Warsaw have
been hailed by all radicals as evidence
of the strength of the Soviet republic
and the persistence and soundness of
the Bolshevik principle of government.
1t has been sought to liken the Russian
success to that which attended the
arms of the Revolution Of France
against the allied armies in 1889 and
