COLONEL KOOSEV KLT in his .-uppfihi-ad speech at I'liooiix, acfiiKcil President Wilson of bving guilty of nnii'tlcr of Anierii'iins in Mexico its iUTcssorv to the crime. I'lii' stunt? charges in an tnilictiiient would lead to trial for murder. As Everett Colhy, the progressive leader who twice nominated Kooseveit, says of these intemperate charges: "I am trulv Korrv to sen Mr. Kooaovclt kIvo way to bis passions and in diilM In such iinruKtrained, exclled and hitler tirades aKlnat the president. What he says Is not true. It is net Just. It in Inexcusable It is resonted troin one end of the country lo the other. "Colonel Hnosevclt. In his word to the urOHrnsslves, b.-ivk lie wishes thorn to do Iheir port In removlns the "moral stain" which Mr. Wilson's ad ministration bus -f listened upon the country. I deeply regret to sno and to fuel obliged to sav that Colonel Hoosevelt has Joined tin) historic lihelers of our presidents, lie takes his position by tho side of thoso who described CeorKe Washington ns "a man whose name was a synonym tor political In Iqultv, and who bad legalized conniption"; with thoso later partisan assail ants of ureal presidents, who dufceiibcd Jefferson as a maniac and Lincoln as personally dishonest. "There outbl lo be some limit to parly rancor and personal hale; and I deeply deplore Ihe fact that a man who has rendered surh services to the nation as Colonel ltoosev?ll sho'iid descend lo such vulnar attaekB upon a man, who Is not only loved by his countrymen, but admired by tho world as few uieu In our history have been loved and admired." Mexican outrages against Americans have been fre- iiient fur t hirty years yet it was never deemed necessary to plunge the nation into a war or conquest on uecouin oi them. Under lfooseveli's own administration the "humiliat ing" incident occurred frequently of American citizens taking out cert il'icates of registration from the British con sulate at the C'itv of Mexico to secure protection to their property. ! In 1911 rresident Taft wrote the governor of Arizona, who had telegraphed him that unless the American govern ment acted, the people of Douglas, Arrz would have to vacate the town: "1 cannot order the troopa to cross the border, but must ask you and the local aulhorilies In case the ilauKCi occurs uBalu, lo direct the people ol 1)oukUi:i lo place themselves whero bullets cannot roach them." l7p to 191.1, when partisanship began to assert itself, nil the leading republicans backed up the president's Mex ican policy, which was simply a continuation of President Tail's policy. Senator Knot declared that even a threat of force would be "to reverse the policy of the United States and take a step backward in ihe path of civilization." And Senator Lodge and e-I'rcsideut Taft openly supported the president. The Mexican problem has been .a national, not a party problem, ever since the passing of Diaz. Able and honest men of both parties have agreed and disagreed over it have agreed and disagreed with their own party heads over it. It. should be dealt with by the people as it has been dealt with by our president thoughtfully, conscientiously. jusl ly. IJut no one expects honor or decency irom iwtoseveit the Villa of American politics, who is as disloyal to his government as Villa is to his, and whose trip to the border is that of the copperhead, to stir up discontent, disten tion and disloyalty among the people at a time of national crisis, and foment treason among the troops of the United States against their commander-in-chief. What else could one expect from a man so shameless as (o fake heroism at the battle of San ,Juan, in which' he never participated; to boast of shooting a Spaniard in the back at Keltic Hill, where there were no Spaniards; of one who, to dodge paying taxes, swore that he was no longer a citizen tif New York and the next month swore he was to run for governor; of a president who at the dictation of Wall street set aside the laws he swore to uphold to permit the steel trust to absorb a. rival: of tin explorer who "dis covered" a South American river, which-had been cruised by Spaniards for rubber for over lf0 years; of a states man who pledged et'ernal faithfulness to the progressive principles and then basely betrayed his following to the very men whose corruption he had loudly denounced. Roosevelt is evidently disgusted with the anaemic, col orless, flabbv campaign made by Hughes and is "putting a punch" in it that is sending it tottering to its final col lapse and will leave linn without a rival lo lead tho 0.

Saturday night nominated Woodrow Wilson for presi dent of Ihn United States, before an audience of 1,000 in the armory. Mr. Colby was Introduced by Wil liam llanley, progressive candidate Tor L'nlled States senator from Ore gon In 1 13, as the man .who twice had nominated Theodore Roosevelt at Ihe progressive party national conveu. (Ions in 1912 and 1910.". This led Mr. Colhy to offer an apology and to name for president tho man who Is now recognized as tho true exponent of progressive principles. PitHlict.sl'tinniinous I-Uei-t ion. "I want to say," continued .Mr. Colby, "there ncvor has been a nomi nation that will he followed so soon by an almost unanimous election. "I am supporting President Wilson for re-election because be is the fore most progressive In the country to day. I cannot understand how any progressive principle and convlcilon can do otherwise. The President's rec- ford of progressive achievement const!. lutes a claim on progressive support which no true Progressive can Ignore or fall to heed, and I seriously ques tion whether our party, bad It pre vailed in the 1912 election, could have accomplished half as much. 1 PriHli'cssive Legislation. "Thirty-one separate and distinct planks of our 1912 plalform have been translated Into law by the WI1 'son administration and all the major principles for which, as a parly, we progressives have stood and fought, are now effective statutes. 1 have no time tonight, but it is sufficient merely to call their impressive roll. "How can any progressive hcsl .tate? How can any progressive re fuse his support to such a president on such a record without being false to his profession as a progressive? "Remember, my frlends( It Is the part of tho Independent In politics to approve and support, as well as to protest and revolt. We revolted In 1912 against conditions that, had be come Intolerable in our public life. It is agrcoable in this election to find Dial wo can, with right good con science and entire consistency, throw our strength as progressives to sus tain an administration that has been honest, patriotic and efficient. T. 1!. Not a PiwRwwivc. "And I say this notwithstanding tho fact that the great man whom tho progressives were wont to delight to honor has taken a different course and has advised u to combine with the republicans in this election. "I had assumed that Colonel Roose velt In his speeches would have some thing to say to tho progressives, ex plaining his refusal longnr to con tinue the fight for progressive princi ples. You progressives distinctly re call his pledges, delivered In 1913, that I win or lose, whatever tho out come. I am with .ou, and 1 am for this cause, to fight to tho end.' Hut I find that ho now Is not n pro gressive at all, but Is n repentant re publican. WINon Has lli-nnght 1rosporlty. "His wise and progressive legisla tion has brought about an unpara lleled prosperity throughout Ihe na tion, a prosperity falsely attributed lo the war In r.urope, hut In reality due to such enlightened progressive meas ures as the currency act, the federal trade commission law, the rural credits law, and tho agricultural edu cation act. to mention only a few of the achievements' of the Wilson administration.

"In the meantime Hughes pursues his dark lantern campaign of cowardly invasion, hoping to draw unto himself the support of every dis loyal, alien, corrupt and un-Ameri-ean element in the country. Ills course in this campaign reminds nie of the line spoken by the .comedian when asked what he would he will ing to do for J10.000. Trembling, he replied, 'I am ashamed to tell you.' What Sir. Hughes would do to attain t lie presidential office we now behold. He would apparently stoop to any dis tortion of facts, suppression of truth, crafty evasion, self-seeking, duplicity, and even if he Is not ashamed to do It, I am ashamed to enumerate ail that he apparently is willing to do." 50 LOSE LIFE IN LAKE ERIE STORM CLEVKLAM), Oct. 2U Local man agers of the steamer llerdlu, owned by the Valley Camp Shipping com pany of Siidland, Ont., conceded to day that the ship was lost In Friday night's gale on Lake Kric.
