Burton of Ohio, candidate for the republican noEssnstlon for president, devoted hi ore attention to the foreign policy -of President Wilon, condemning the president's attitude with reference to Mexico and Ger many. The speaker often dwelt In sarcas tic or sneering; manner upon the ac tions of the administration. He In sisted a mistake was made when rec ognition was refused to Huerta who was classed as having maintained the most responsible government in Mexi co in recent years. Senator Burton declared the taking of Vera Crux by the United States had accomplished nothing. Upon the European situation the senator emphatically condemned the administration's policy toward Ger many. Though holding that the re cent ultimatum to Germany was right In tone he Insisted such action should have been taken sooner. In hi talk the senator refrained en tirely from any discussion of economic subject and did not dwell on the fil ibuster that brought about the de feat of the administration's shipping bill a year ago. Following the talk by Senator Bur. ton, a 15 minute address was made by ex-rCongressman Cole of Ohio, who is accompanying Senator Burton. Mr Cole also condemned the Wilson for eign policy, classing the president as the Buchanan of the present day, rather than the modern day Lincoln. Both speakers were introduced to the audience by Captain C. A. Mur phy of the local Young Men's and Young Women's Republican Club. Senator Burton was frequently ap plauded but the enthusiasm shown was not vociferous.
