E KEPT US [ ut oF WAR! 7/ WILSON / FURNISHED MEXICO WITH ARMS AND BULLETS § TO KILL AMERICAN SImizenNs! iON corumBus, K NMEX. -U.S.A - To Save the Nation from War - Vote for Hughes for President The National Guard is on the border to-save us from invasion; American soldiers— sent there by Woodrow Wilson=:are fighting-and giving up their lives in Santo Domingo today; American treops by force of arms are holding possession in Hayti and in Nicaragua; an American invading force is .encamped within the national boundaries of Mexico; the soil . of Vera Cruz, of Carrizal, of Santa Ysobel,of Columbus, is drenched with the blood of ‘young - Americans who wore the uniforms of the Republic; hundreds of Americans have been butchered by Mexican bandits, the flag has been shot at and spat upon and American _citizens ridiculed, robbed and beaten—it :is going on today— . F e . —and yet there can be found some citizens of the United States who have - - the hardihood to echo the false and brazen boast: “He kept us out of war.” - - WILSON THE CHRONIC MEDDLER 1y Mexico wanted nothing but to be left alone to work out her own In the brief rule of Wilson at the White House fheI United States - salvation. Wilson would not leave her alone. He insisted on dictating ‘what the Mexicans should do. He landed troops at Vera Cruz; he furnished arms to the bandit Villa, with which to :shoot down Americans as well as Mexicans; he sent an army of “special envoys” into Mexico to tell the Mexicans -how to handle their own affairs; he blew hot and’ cold on one faction after another. The result has been an orgy of blood and ruin which brings the blush of shame to the cheek of every American. has been twice at war with Mexico—once with Villa and once with Carranza—it has been at war with Nicaragua, at war with Hayti and at war with Santo Domingo. It is true that these are all puny nations, but if any real power hal wanted war, it is more than probable that Wilson—weak and timid as he is—would have blundered into it, just as he has blundered into mess after mess in his relations with the little countries of Latin-America. g 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002000000000 WE NEED A STRONG MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE Charles E. Hughes is the man. Hughes was the spontaneous choice of the American people for nominee of the Republican party. The bosses did not want him. Big Business - fears him. His record as governor of New York and later as supreme court justice shows . that he is his_own master, a fearless, manly, able, independent citizen—one fit to be the . president of the whole nation. .. . - Sea R el ; L ] It is a great mistake to say. that resoluteness in protecting American rights would have led to war. Rather in that course 715 lay the best asstirance of peace. Weakness and indecision in the maintenance of known rights ate always sources of grive _danger; they forfeit respect and invite serious wrongs, which in turn create an uncontrollable popular resentment. We should not have found it difficult to maintain peace, but we should have maintained peace with honor. During this critical p:riod the only danger of war has lain in the weak course of the Administration.”—CHARLES E. HUGHES in his speech ‘of acceptance.
