HOW ABOUT MEXICO?
WEEKS ASKS WILSON
Xo Ir-suo? .lust Look at the
High Cost of Living, Shvs
the Senator.
THEN AGAIN, TIIE TARIFF.
WaaRINOTON, rvc. 19. Ser.ator John
W. Weeks of Massachnaetts. one of the
Republican Presidential candidates, far
from aareeina with Preeident Wilson
recent nsnertkui b-fore the Democratic
National Committee that the Republican
party would have no Isme aside from
the tariff upon Which to make their
campaign nest year, contends that the
Issues fur:ilshe, them by the present Ad-
mtnlat ration are so ample and M evident
that It Is a matter of choice as to which
a hall be featured by Republican cam-
paigu orators.
Klrst In importance, however. Senator
Weeks belives the present Adnnntstra- I
tlon'l failure to protect American lives I
and property In Mexico during the en-
tire three yvats It haa bee: In DOWIf I
tha one ehortcomlng that should effe.-.
lively preclude a return of the Demo- j
era In to yower.
"I believe the Mexican issue Is one
Of those upon which the coming cam- J
palgn win be waged and won by th lie-
publican party." said Senator Weeks to
day "Certainly the present Admlnls
trntiot.'a Inafflclint handling of the sit- ;
uatlon ever since It came Into power is
rich in vulnerability. In the P'mo
cratlc national plitform for lull there j
aDDOared the unequivocal statement that
our property should oc proieciea i
throughout the world hikI on our hot-
d-rs.
" 'Kvery American.' the Hemocratic
alatfarm reads, 'nuiat be siven thl full
DroteeUon of the Pnlted States Oovarn
mint iKit'i for himself and his property ,
"That plank ..ppli-s ery directly to i
ktesico and if it means anything It
should mean Hint Americans residing In
that OOUntry and those on the bonier i
should have had the fullest protection i four m0nthl In exchanging 'tlrm' dlplo

Is our next door neighbor, and if Amerl- i
cms sere ever to be protected by their
Oovarnment. certainly ttaja gomg no ,
further abroad than acrosa an Imaginaiy
line to the south of us should have had
that protection. I
' But they have not had It and as a
consequence many of them have UMt i

hai an idealistic conception of thl
tamper of the American people that
lulls him Into a false sense oi aacuTit)
agalnst tlssir Just indignation Indlgna-
Hon that will make Itself felt within
the neat few months
"The American people I feel assured,
will be quick to grasp the fact that the
Republican party has something of a
campaign Issue in the failure of Hie j
UeniOcratH to reduce or even to hold at ,
l.u form r level, the cost of living. This
was one of the campaign slogans of the
Iiemocracy In 1912 -'the high cost of living-
and they told the public that If
put Into power they would enact a tariff
for revenue only, and that the cost of
- ... . -.1.M n.Maa! rtes of life would
automat rally become lower.
,'Thev wJr ,,llt Into power, they
enacted the 1 nderwooil-Simmons law
the cost of living Immediately
Ht .rted on an upward march which n ,
"till i progress. Figures compiled by !
tha Administration s own bureaus show:
that the ost of living has Increased more

even greater Justification. The r. Mpm.se,

"I am glad the President concedes us
one Issue the tariff So much Is Included
in thai aie Issue that It really should
be divided Into a number of Issues. In
the first place the Republican principle
of protection ll an Issue distinct and
apart and stands for nationwide com
mercial growth ami prosperity.
"In the geOOIld place Ihe tariff stands

brottan rules and worked aeralnst the

Is Investigating Mr Osborne's complaint
but has not suspended Holla and has not
found grounds for dotng so.
Among other thimts. Holla la accused
of advancing money to prison employees
Th- warden maintains that he was care
less in handling the prisoners' discharge
and miscellaneous funds. In the ills

Holla. pr;s"M attache! assert, does not
deny that hi advanced small amounts
to prison employees on t-alaries nlready
lamed, hul contends he waa justified
because the men paid m advance had to
pay their own expenses when Rolng out
of town on prison business. This was
notably true. Holla says, In tha case of

Holla also refused to sanction pur

When an effort was made to ffat In
