President Replies to Governor Whit
man of New York, Declaring That
Emergency Which Led to Call of
Militia Still Exists Frontier Needs
Protection to Prevent Raids.
LONG BRANCH. N. .1., Oct. 14.
President Wilson, In a letter to Gov
ernor Whitman 01' Now York, sent
October 9 and made public hero to
day, declared that the emergency
"a lilcli caused the sent'lug of the mili
tia to the .Mexican border, "unhappily
still exists." He added, liowever. that
however, that he believed conditions
In northern Mexico are Improving
and tnat "In the near future" It prob
ably vlll he possible to "do more
than has been done to relieve the em
barrassments under which orgnized
militia lotliiients have necessarily
suffered."
President Wilson wrote to Gov
ernor Whitman In answer to a letter
from 1 he Niw York executive regard
ing the New York militia organiza
lions on the border. The president
told Mr. Whitman that It was Impos
sible to set a date on which the re
maining New York regiments there
could be leleased.
The president, in his letter, de
clared he had been advised by the
war deportment that withdrawal of
the liiliitiu at any time since they
were sent to the border "would In
all human likelihood have been fol
lowed by fresh aggressions from
J.Iexlco upon the lives and property of
I he people of the United States."
In his letter the president paid a
high Illume r.r the character of the
militiamen on the border and denied
tint organization;; vvere being kept
there to perfect their military train-,
ins.
Tlie president's letter follows:
President's Letter.
"My 1'tar Governor Whitman: I
have received your letter of Septem
ber 2'i, and have taken up W'ith the
secretary of war the situation as it
affects the presence of New York
troops on the border. From the be
ginning of the difficulty which neces
sitated the call for the militia, I have
been deeply -;ci;Jtive of the Inconven
ience' caused to the members of those
citizen military organizations by their
separation from their families and
from their ordinnry business engage
ments and pursuits.
"In order to minimize these sacri
fices the war department is sending
to the border from time to time mill

Wilson Speaks to Pennsylvanlans
From "Front Porch" Campaign Is
Daily Growing More Complex, But
Issues Growing More Simple Old
Guard Seeking Return to Power.
LOXO BRANCH, X. J.. Oct. 14.
President Wilson, in a "front porch"
cunipulKii speech here today, told tt
lari;e delegation of I'enilayl VHlilans
that tho people of their Btate wcru
able to testify to the "subtle moans"
by which the will of tlie people Is so
often dofeatcd. Ilo added that tho
campalKii was daily growing more
romplcx, and behind tho useless talk, -
Ilia Issues are KroivhiK more simple.
"Tlie most Interesting olement of
tlie republican party now is tho vo
cal," said the president. "The vocal
clement Is not running for office, hut
Is making promises, while the ele
ment, which has been nominated Is
making no promises."
The president praised the "runk
ami (Ilo" of the progressive party,
sa; lag no group of men "were evor
more pitifully docelvod." Ilo at
tached tho leaders ot that party.
lte.l.M'ine.1 li-.nnlsp.s,
'The democratic party in tho last
few years has redeemed the promises
of Iho progressive party and of the
democratic party," Mr. Wilson added.
He discussed conditions in New Jer
sey and Pennsylvania, saying tho old
'political gangs" are seeking a return
to power.
"You have seen the gentlemen, who
claim to lead the progressive element
of the republican party, make an ab
ject surrender," the president de
clared. - i I
Mr. Wilson, Tor tho .. first time,
spoke of the necessity for .eloctlng a-'
democratic congress. The "old
guard," he charged, controls the re
publicans in congress.
Ilt'Terrlng to criticisms of his for
eign policies, the president declared
the "vocal" part of the republican
parly wanted war, while tho "silent"
part wanted peace In some other way
than lie had maintained ft. He added
tile country knew It was at peace and
was ratlsfled.
Must Sri lie Doubt.
li.'ferrlng to Kuropean questions
and to Mexico, be Haiti It was neces
sary thai doubt over the attitudo of
ihe United States must bo settled.
"I am not doubtful over the out
come," be said. "America is always
ready to fight for .things that aro
Amerltun " continued tlie president.
"What Kurope Is beginning to realize
is that we are saving ourselves for
greater things. We are saving our
srives for that league o( nations
wbli-h will come to maintain peace.
"Some people are ' losing . their
heads," said the president, discussing
Ilio foreign affairs of the nation. "I
get the Impression that the great
body of American people arc keeping
tlielr brads."
