The facts therein set forth furnish a complete and irrefutable condemnation of his own policy toward Mexico and toward Carranza. American Barbarously Murdered. 'This authoritative statement, issued by Mr. "Wilson through his Secretary of State, sets foth that for three years there has been continuous bloodshed and disorder in Mexico; that Americans have been barbarously murdered and vast properties developed by American FffPftt nf VnnillatlOn and I I-I capital destroyed; that the murderers , . I have not been brought to Justice; that midity Is Shown by Den t. ance of Our Demands. during the past nine months there have been constant invasions, depredations and murders on American soil by Mexi lean bandits; that American soldiers have been killed, American ranches raided, American railway trains were wrecked and plundered and American towns destroyed; and that Carranza's soldiers and adherents took part in the looting-, burning and killing; that the murders were characterized by ruthless brutality and barbarous mutilations; that some of the leaders in these atroci ties have not only received protection, but encouragement and aid from Car ranza's government; that during this time there was instance after Instance of the barbarous slaughter of unoffend ing Americans in Mexico itself, in addi tion to the heinous crimes committed in murdering, burning and plundering on American soil; that Carranza's generals made no effort to stop the crimes, and TnrtPTY Ariz Oct. 21.

"Thanks to Mr. Wilson." he con tinned, "the Mexican bandits regard Americans and the Chinese as equally safe to murder." The address In part, follows in unmanly fashion to scold Carranza's wretched American victims. Mr. Wilson and his followers are fond of asking, when we criticise his action: "What would you have done?' Either one of two courses could prop erly "have been followed. It would have been defensible to have recog nized Huerta, in view of the fact that "What has happened to our people In I other great power had recognized him; Mexico and here along the border of- I and, of course, it was quite indefensible fers the clearest possible Illustration 1 to refuse to recognize him and yet rea of what happens to any nation whose I ognlze Benavides in Peru and Car- government behaves with the vacilla-1 ranza In Mexico. In such event we tion and timlditv shown by Mr. Wilson would have held Huerta to 'strict re In our foreign affairs wherever he has sponsibility' by acts for restoring or- to deal with any foe of whom he was In the Hlisrhtest decree alrala. "In Mexico, when the revolution gathered headway, there were many foreigners. There were English, Ger mans. Japanese and French. There were also Americans. Spaniards and Chinese.

"In consequence it appears that dur ing these disturbances as fax as can be gathered there has not been one German killed in Mexico and only one Englishman and two Frenchmen. 1 cannot find that any Japanese were killed. The minute the Frenchmen Consul-General and Consular agents in were' killed the French government Mexico two telegrams instructing them served summary notice on Mexico tnat to notify all officials, military or civil, der in Mexico and for protecting Amer ican lite and property. Wilson's Words Kit Case. This course would have been de fensible. Personally, it seems to me that it would have been even better to have done exactly what Mr. Wilson said he would do, but did not do. He said to Congress on Autrust 27. 1913 we should let everyone who assumes any part of Mexico know in the most lneaulvocal way that we shall vigilantly watch the ioriunes of those Americans who cannot get away and shall hold those responsible for their sufferings and losses to a definite reckoning. This can be and will be put beyond the pos sibility of a misunderstanding.' On the same day he sent to the American it has been exceedingly careful not to kill nv others. When the Englishman, Benton, was killed, not merely did England flame up, but it is actually true that far more Interest was excited In this country than was shown over all of our own men. women and cnil- dren who were killed In Mexico. There have been no further outrages on tne lives of British subjects. "The Germans are not only safe, but exercising authority that they would De held strictly responsible for any harm done to Americans or for injury to t'-ieir property.' These were excel lent words! They were as good as the words in the Democratic platform four years ago and now. to the effect that 11 American citizens, at home and aDroad. must be protected in their rights and no wrongs permitted against their persons or property.

Car ranza's government is but a shell of au tiority, based on murder and plunder. limited to a few of the larger cities and railroad lines in antagonism to every organizing lorce upon which a govern ment can rest. The absolute refusal of of Mr. Wilson's own supporters take the ground that he acts in this manner because he is influenced by downright fear. On August 8, last, it was an nounced In the press that Frank B. Vrooman, Democratic National com mitteeman, of Colorado, stated at Den ver that President Wilson had wisely avoided war with Mexico because there are 400.000 Japanese soldiers in Mexico and because both Germany -and Japan the outside world to lend it money is are planning to overthrow the Monroe Doctrine and, therefore, war with Mex ico would mean war with both these countries. "Mr. Vrooman a premises are un sound. There is slight reason to be lieve that there are as many as '4000 Japanese of military age in Mexico. But his statement, if correctly re ported (and it has not been -contra- evidence of the low credit in which i Is held, and is also a grim commentary on Mr. Wilson's folly in assailing the American miners, ranchers, working men.

Oct. 21. Betting odds In an election may mean little or nothing. Occasionally they are ar ranged to bolster up a waning cause. That has not ordinarily been the case in San Francisco, where the people seem to be, generally speaking, of a speculative turn of mind. Therefore it may be of some interest, though of no practical value, to know of the bets that are offered In this city. From a local establishment where such wagers are usuallv made has come the follow' ing Information of cash that has been left to be bet: Even money that Hughes will carry California- Even money that Johnson will de feat Patton (Democratic nominee) for the Senate bv 100.000 votes. Even money that President llson carries the city of San Francisco. Four to one that amendment :no. (which would bar even the manufac ture of wine and other liquors, in short. total prohibition) will be defeated. As to -amendment No. 2, which would wipe out the saloons and bars the sale of drinks in restaurants and clubs, the man who was quoting these prices said he had nothing to offer. Men who write the poltlcal news for the San Francisco papers are inclined to admit there is an apparent veering in favor of Wilson. Republican Margin Larger. I still believe," said one of these men who is known for his conserva tism, "that Hughes will carry the state. California is altogether too overwhelmingly Republican for Wilson to win unless there is a split in the party, as was the case four years ago. However, there is always the chance that we may be fooled by conditions in San Francisco. This city, thanks n large part to the Union labor vote. strong for the President. We don't know quite as much concerning the rest of the state, save for talks with campaigners and we are forced to take hearsay evidence almost entirely. The South, I think, will uphold Hughes n better shape than has been expected and that may turn the balance in his favor." While San Francisco's greeting to the Hughes women's special train that landed in this city last Tuesday and departed for the Southland that same evening was hardly as reassuring, as might have been desired from a Re publican viewpoint, neither was there the rioting that some of the. people had been led to expect. In the neigh borhood of 200 Wilson adherents were gathered at the ferry depot to meet the Hughes women, but the police were not lequired to preserve order and there was little- more than good- natured rivalry. The Wilson supporters were armed with banners declaring their own cause and with other placards that spoke of the billion dollar special that was pre sumably conveying these women speakers. ; But the Hughes women bearded the Wilsonites in their den. Two of tha most courageous went right down among the Wilsonites, silenced them at least to the extent of winning at tention and had their say. They pointed out the untruth of the billion dollar charge, and showed that 14 in the party were women who are earn ing their own living. Debate Regarded aa Draw. They concluded their brief stav here with a meeting at Scottish Rite Audi torium. - Among the notables on the platform were Chester A. Rowell, the Fresno editor, who has been an .able lieutenant of Governor Johnson, Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. mother of William Randolph Hearst. Mrs. Julius Kahn, wife of the Representative in Congress from this district, and others who have taken a prominent part in political affairs. The Judgment of the crowds was that the debate between the visitors and San Franciscans was a draw. In this regard It is worthy of com ment that so strong has been the criti cism against the association of women of wealth with the enterprise that the them of Mrs. William H. Crocker. It had been arranged that Mrs. Cnocker, whose husband is a National commit-! teeman, would join the party, using for the occasion the private car San Emid io, owned by Will Tevls. Then something struck a snag. Sev eral hours of excited conferences fol lowed and the affair was peacefully and happily concluded when Mrs. Crocker herself said over the telephone: "Withdraw my request to accompany women's Hughes special party, as I have no desire tooppose the slightest objection on the part of any of the Eastern visitors." The private car was then attached to the Lark and Mrs. Crocker, her two charming daughter and several friends went to Los Angeles three hours ahead of the women politicians. The objection to Mrs. Crocker came from the Eastern women who are mem bers of the party. It was not personal. Benson Makes Good Impreaalon. Allan Benson. Socialist candidate for President, visited San Francisco in the closing days of last week and those who listened to his speeches de dare that Benson made a good Im pression. V Benson, years ago, was a reporter on the Chronicle in San Francisco, and they do say he was a good reporter. That he has some of the qualities that go to make a successful politician was demonstrated by the fashion in which he remembered former newspaper as sociates. Benson, naturally. Is not claiming that he will carry tho country by storm. Rather be wants to make a good showing and round up as many Socialist votes as possible. That no amount of speech-making will tend to change the political out look in California from now until elec tion is the view expressed by one of the local wiseacres. 'There is no overpowering Interest In the Presidential election," he said. "Most of the voters have made up their minds whether they are for Wilson or for Hughes, and all the talkers In the Country couldn't turn them over." Governor Johnson Is still campaign ing the state and will continue to make nightly speeches until election day. Just at present be is touring the San Joaquin Valley in an automobile, as has been bis custom. The snrpris- m any occasions and is widely known, he is drawing larger crowds than ever. The Johnson Administration is making capital of the fact that the old liners are back of the Progressive leader, and they show this by having old party Republicans on the stage and even as chairmen of the meetings. FORT AT PARK IS CLOSED Yellowstone Police Will Be Civilian Rangers In Future. LANDER, Wyo, Oct. 21. Fort Yel lowstone, post of troops who hereto fore have guarded and policed Yellow stone National Park, was closed as a military post yesterday, and the 200 Federal troops stationed there were or. dered to the border. Thirty National Park rangers will take the place of the troops. The change Is said to be part of the policy of the National Parks Bureau, which will employ only civil processes to police the park. Instead of the mili tary power which has been used since the park was founded. SPLIT IN FAIR PROPOSED Curry County Talks of Having Its On Show at Port Orford. MARSHFIELD, Or., Oct 21. (Spe cial.)

Infamies Fully Set Forth, "Remember always, that the Infamies that have been committed in Mexico have been explicitly set forth by Presi dent Wilson himself through his Secre tary Of State on June 20, last. Presi dent Wilson, in the course of his efforts to shield Carranza. denounced the truthful statement of the hideous con dltions In Mexico as being a 'traffic in falsehood designed to create 'intolera ble friction between our Government and Carranza's in the interest of certain owners of Mexican properties.' He made these deliberate charges on March 20, last Senator Fall promptly challenged President Wilson to name these alleged conspirators and also challenged him to make public the documents in the State Department. "As always, when challenged fear lessly. President Wilson promptly flinched.
