HiHsboro, , . fddc Hood f TRUP INWARDNI88 pP TK VKRA INCIDENT, la ta prlnjr of 1114, oocur r4 h capture of Vera Cfu. Man from ins of our ships had beea arrested at Taqiploo and had been discharged wlih an apology. But our Admiral de sua.ided a salute, which was re fused. Thereupon the President went to Congress, asking au thority to use tha arawxl. -forc of the Vnltod States. Without waiting for the passage of the resolution, Vera Cruz was seis ed, it appeared that a shipload of ammunition for Kuerta was about to enter that port. There was a natural opposition to this Invaaion and a battle occurred In which nineteen Americans and over a hundred Mexicans were killed. This, of course, was yrar. Onr dead soldiers were praised for dying like heroes la a war of serrlce. Later, we retired from Vera Orua, firing up this noble war tare. We had not obtained the salute which was demanded. We had not obtained repara ttoa for affroota. The shtp with ammunition which could not Iaa4 at Vera Crus had soon landed at another port, and Its cargo was uTrd ts Ilutrt wftikout Interference. Recently tike naked truth was admitted by a Cabinet officer. We are now Informed that "we did not go to Vera Crus to force Huerta to salute the flag." We are totd that wa went there "to show Mexico that we were in earnest In oar demand that Huerta must go." That la, we seised Vera Crus to depose Huerta. The question of the salute was a mere pretexts From Mr. Hughes' speech of ac ceptance. Hughes Points the Way The speetfa of tha Republkau eaa dldat for President vaa a keynote speech. Indeed. Not one person In the great audiease at the Carnegie Hall meeting was In doubt for one moment as to Just what he meant by erery thing he said.. His address was comprehensive, log !"', and all sualclent for the poeasloa. There oan be no dispute as to this. Plainly Mr. Mtsghes Is a inaa who nraowa what he wan(s when fee waste It," and It Is the opinion ef political aathorlties who heard him and who haye since read his remarks that be knows, alto, how to get It ' It was incumbent upon the Repub Usaa candidate to confine the scope pf his remarks to the limitations of tbe oecasion. but his crushing analy sis of the shortcomings of the pres ent administration of the government is merely an earnest of what the tone and the contents of his speeches will ie when he gets on the stump. At Carnegie Hall Mr. Hughes ad TtftM Vf miT general WfilUoi that MWM-a . aianshiwMsaartt, is apt to be a serious Issue In tbe campaign and In language that will be absolutely clear to every man or woman able to re4 he staled his opinions, bis convictions and his pur pos. On the stump be will argue those points In detail. As an orator b.e Is eloquent, his personality attrac tive and ils marshalling of facts so cohesive that he holds his audience to the end. He makes It easy for them to follow him and his point; are not lost. .There waa nothing, equivocal, noth lng apoiogetlo In the Republican can didate's speech of acceptance. He called a spade a spade, and the unani mous opinion of those who heard him was that he shot to the center and rang the belL The Republics! cam paign Is now open, and those who will speak and write and work for the success of the Republican ticket aa wish for no more adequate cam paign document, no more satisfactory statement of issues than are found la the candidate's salutatory. MAINTENANCE Or AMERICAN RIGtiTt Had this Government bf the use ef both Informal and farinef dlpiematlo opportunities left ne doubt that when we said "ttrlct accountability" we meant . pre cisely what we eald, and that we snouid unhs!tat!Rs!y rtsd! eats that position, I em confi dent that there would have been ne destruction of American lives by the sinking of the Uusltanla. There, we had ample notice; In fact, published notice. Further more, we knew the situation and we did not require specific notice. Instead of ' whittling away our formal statements by equivocal conversations, we need ed the straight, direct and de clslvs representations whloh ev ery diplomat and foreign office would underetand. I believe that In this way we should have besn sparsd the repeated aa savlta en American lives. More over, a firm American policy would have been strongly eup perted by our people and the op portunities for the development of bitter feeling would have been vastly reduced.
