ADAIR SOUNDS RINGING NOTE OFMTRIOTISM

Continued From Page One.

of July speeches but what I think of his idea of this country of ours just before election I would not like to say."

Attacks Republicans.

He attacked the republicans for their attempt to make a political issue of the foreign affairs. He showed that the democrats have enacted the public service law, the vocational education law, the compensation law, the printing law and showed that the republican convention in Chicago could not find a single item to criticise.

Mr. Adair spoke as follows: I come to you tonight, direct from the nation's capital, bringing greetings from a democratic president, a democratic senate and a democratic house of representatives. I also bring to jou the absolute assurance that the great leaders of our party in "Washington are confident of democratic success in November. If there ever was a doubt of our success that doubt was lemovoii by the action of the republican rational convention held in Chicago a fc-w days ago. It was a humiliating spectacle to see the party of Lincoln unable to point with pride view with alarm. The marvelous achievements of the Wilson administiation having left the republican party without a single issue upon which to wage a successful campaign, that party in its dire distress found it necessary tc lay aside its patriotism and its Americanism while it sought to make an issue out of the foreign relations of the government—an act which will be resented ami repudiated by all loyal, patriotic citizens, regardless of party, who love America, American institutions and the American flag.

How different were the conditions confronting the democratic convention held at St. .Louis last week. What a ^PiCasure it was for our party to point v- i tli pride ti- tie constructive legislation in tl:e imprest of the American

P^opli. i a:scd by the Wilson administration legislation the republican party did not dare mention, let alone criticise. What a pleasure it was for our party to point to the fact that peace, plenty, happiness and prosperity prevails from one end of the country to the other and what a genuine pleasure it was for our party to nominate for our standard bearers in the coming campaign the men who made these blessings possible Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall.

My friends, the coming campaign means more to the American people than any contest in which we have entered in, a quarter erf a century. Our rights, liberties and opportunities are at stake. We must determine at the ballftt DOX in November whether the people art to continue to rule or whether -vs e are to go back to the day of tpeciai privilege and be led and controlled by those who look upon government as the means of securing special privileges which will enable them to build up colossal fortunes, wrongfully taken from the people. We must flcc.de in November whether we will go back to the republican panics of 183, 1893 and 1907, when factories were closed, workingmen were idle ar"d business was paralyzed, or whether we will continue to enjoy under "Woodrow Wilson the greatest degree of prosperity our nation has ever known. Compensation law, the vocational education law, the child labor law, the public printing law, or any of the constructive measures passed by the Kalston administration and as a matter of course, everybody is pleased over the payment of the state debt incurred by a republican administration and paid off by the administration of Governor Ralston. In fact, the entire citizenship of Indiana has confidence in the democratic party and that confidence will ripen and grow as our party continues to give the people good, wholesome and progressive legislation.

We are not only proud of our state administration, but we are likewise proud of the work of our national administration. Woodrow Wilson will go down In history as one of the greatest of presidents. During his administration more constructive legislation in the inieiest of,the American people has been enacted into law than in any other like period in the history of the nation. How thankful we should be that duiing this period of world-wide war and destruction of life and property we had at the head of this government & man who has kept the rudder tit e in the perils of a stormy sea. In the midst of universal war he has kept .America at peace with all the v orld. In the midst of universal confusion his brain has been clear, his nerve steady, his heart unshaken from its faith in humanity.

Shows Party's Record.

We owe to our state and our nation to put forth every possible effort to bring about the re-election of Woodrow Wilson, to the end that peace and prosperity may continue, the rights of the American people may be protected oth upon land and sea, and that this government may remain what our party has made it—a government by and for the people.

Our party came into power less than four years ago confronted by the gi eatest responsibilities ever fdced by any party in the history of the republic. We have met these responsibilities arid solved the difficult problems in a way that has won the admiration of all those who place the vvtlfaie of the country above and beyond party success.

Every citizen of Indiana, regardless of party, has words of praise for Governor Ralston, for all of our splendid state officials and for the excellent legislation placed upon our statute books by the last two democratic legislatures. No party would dare propose a repeal of the public service commission law.

Juattce Hughes.

The first statement made by Justice Hughes, following his nomination at Chicago, shows conclusively he is not big enough and broad enough for the presidency. In less than three hours after his nomination he issued a statement in which he demonstrated clearly that he placed the success of his party above the welfare ,of his country. He laid aside his patriotism and Americanism while he found fault with Wilson's policy in Mexico. He offered no remedy or suggested no solution. He did not say that had he been president he would have done different from what Wilson has done. He did not point out a single specific act of President Wilson which he said was wrong. He only criticised in a general way purely for political purposes. It is unfortunate indeed that a candidate for l.resilient of one of the leading

parties yould descend to such unpatriotic methods. Such statements coming from the republican candidate for president makes the task of Wilson much harder in Mexico. Mexican newspapers piint such statements and as a maiority of the Mexican people are ignorant they are led to believe, and do beiieve .that the American people are not united—that half of the people of this country are in sympathy with Mexico and this belief encourages them in their hatred of Americans and their desire to destroy American lives and American property. If President Wilson can have the loyal support of the American people he will be able to handle the Mexican situation without involving us in a war, but if Justice Hughes and other republican leaders keep on trying to make a political issue out of Mexico, they will lend sufficient encouragement to Mexican bandits to make peace impossible. If we are finally driven into a war with Mexico the responsibility of that war and the blood of our boys will rest very largely upon partisans who are willing to sacrifice the country's welfaie for party success. Justice Hughes was nominated on Saturday and on the following Monday he went to New York City, held a conference with leaders there, and the following day Wall street offered to bet large sums of money on his election. It took sixteen long years to break loose from Wall street control and I do not now believe the American people are quite ready to turn this country over once more to these speculators and gamblers. Hughes will be a weak candidate. The labor vote of the country will be against him by reason of his attitude toward labor while he was governor of New York and since he has been on the supreme bench. The people are satisfied with Wilson they know he is safe they know he is conservative they are not going to exchange a certainty for an uncertainty.

Foreign Relations.

My friends, our opposition will try in every conceivable way to divert your minds from the great achievements of this democratic- administration by criticising the foreign policy of President 'Wilson. It is but natural that we should differ on policies relating to our domestic affairs, but when it comes to our relations with foreign governments we should lay aside all differences on internal matters, joiji together as patriots, and, forgetting our partisanship, give loyal support to the president in the maintenance of the "lienor and sovereignty of our beloved 'country. I believe the great mass of the American people, regardless of party, share in this national spirit, except those who place 'party success and personal ambition above the nation's welfare.

While ali of Europe is red with the blood of millions of brave men, her cities filled with cripples, widows and fatherless children, while misery and Fonow have taken the place of happiness and contentment throughout all the belligerent countries, here we are in America, the only neutral country in all the world, enjoying peace, plenty, happiness and prosperity and this is due to the patience, the wisdom and foresight of Woodrow Wilson. He has met the responsibilities thrust upon him, not as the president of any political party, but as the chief executive of the American people. How fortunate we ..are to have at the hqad of this government a man with the 'deafness of vision, t:ie love of humanity, the tenderness of heart and the unswerving fidelity to America and Amer ican institutions possessed by Woodrow Wilson. And yet, Justice Hughas and other republican leaders, without anj knowledge of the facts, and with out the Etcret information before the stale d^pa.-tment, purely for political purposes, lay aside their patriotism arid their A.'iir.Tu-anism long enough t.j bitterly attack t!io man who has proserved peace, saved the blood of our boys as-.d made America the home of a happy and con tented people. Ah' my friends, to criticise is easy to sneer is human, but contemplate. The task of the president is made more difficult by such utterances. Let us hope the Ameiican people will rise above partisanship and vie with each other in their loyalty and devotion to America. American institutions and the American flag. I am not here to say whether any nv stakes in our foreign policy have I:fen made or not. I do know that none of us are infallable. Iii you were to ask me whether any mistakes have been made in dealing with foreign nations I would not be abi« to give jo'.i an intelligent answer. While 1 have i-oen a member of congress for ten j-^ar? and believe I am as nlost'. to the president as the average member, the facts are ninetcnths of f.tl the information upon which the president and the state department base their action is secret information that does not come to mfe, neither does it go to you and without that information I can not say and you can not say whether any mistakes have been made or not. But I will tell you what I do know. I know that we do not have in this country 5,000,000 widows as a result of war I do know that 7,000,000 of our men have not lost their lives on the battlefield and that 8,000,000 of our citizens have not been wounded J. do know that 12,000,000 of our children have not been made homeless and fatherless I do know that our factories have not been dismantled and destroyed I do know that a debt of $30,000,000,000 has not been piled upon us I know that our cities have not been shot to pieces and destroyed I know that peace prevails in this country and that is what want and that Is what you want. do know that Woodrow Wilson has met the responsibilities in a way which has resulted in peace, plenty, happiness and prosnerity. As long as the result is satisfactory why should we quibble about' the question as to whether or net any mistakes have been made. The real question to consider is whether or not a change of administration during this time of world-wide war, might not involve us in the struggle and bring about conditions in tHis country similar to those in Europe. No president in the history of this republic ever faced such responsibilities or had to deal with such trying and perplexing' problems as has Woodrow Wilson, and who could have solved them better. He has been charged with the responsibility of maintaining peace and at the same time protecting the rights of American citizens both upon land and sea, and up to this time he had met these conditions to the satisfaction of the great mass of the American people.

German Situation.

"Our republican friends are claiming that German-Americans will not vote for Woodrow Wilson. I do not believe it. I can see no reason why he should not- have their support. There have been no differences between Germany and the United States except the one question of submarine warfare, and that question was taken up by President Wilson with Germany following the sinking of the Lusi{ania. Germany accepted the position taken by President Wilson as being wholly and fully within the law and agreed that thereafter submarine warfare would be conducted accordingly. Wilson accepted in good fsrfth the promise made by Germany and the matter was thought to be closed. A few weeks later another ship was sunk by Germany in violation of international law and in violation of the sacred pledge made to the United States. President Wilson again took the matter up with Germany and the imperial German government disavowed the act, and once more promised President Wilson that she would abide by the law. Again the president accepted in good faith the pledge made by Germany. Then a few weeks later another ship was sunk in violation of law and again Germany apologized and promised President Wilson it would not happen again. The president once more accepted in good faith the pledge made to the United States. Then later on other ships were sunk in violation of law and finally when the little cross channel steamer Sussex was sunk, which was purely a ferry boat and could not have been used for war purposes under any circumstances, loaded with women and children, then the president felt that his patience was entirely exhausted. He had given the German government a full year to keep its promises and pledges made to the United States and the president felt that the time had come when he must say, once and foxall to Germany, that if sne did not keep her pledge made to the United States and conduct her submarine warfare within the law, he would be required to sever diplomatic relations. In a$i

swer to this ultimatum Germany has again promised to abide by the law and keep her word, and again Woodrow Wilson has accepted in good faith Germany's promise and the matter for the present is closed. While Wilson was exhibiting the greatest degree of patience with Germany, Theodore Roosevelt, a progressive candidate for the presidency Senator Elihu Root, a republican candidate for the presidency Senator Lodge, another republican candidate for the presidency, and practically ?„11 of the republican leaders in the house and senate were severely criticising President Wilson because he did not declare war on Germany. Some of them went so far as to say he should have declared war on Germany almost two years ago when Germany violated the neutrality of Belgium. Had Woodrow Wilson followed the advice of these republican leaders we would have been in a war with Germany many months ago, and if the United States had entered the war against Germany that nation could not have held out against the allies for six months. The fact is. Woodrow Wilson is the man who stood between the United States and war with Germany. His refusal to follow the advice of the republican leaders has mad* it possible for Germany to successfully hold out against her enemies. It seems to me that the German-Amer-icans should feel very kindly toward Woodrow Wilson because of his -refusal td compel them to take up arms against their fatherland. "I do not blame any man of foreign birth fdr sympathizing with his native land and wanting the country from which he came to win in the great struggle going on across the sea. If I had been born in Germany I would sympathize with Germany and want Germany to win. If I had been born in France I would sympathize with Prance because it was my native land. Or if I had been born in any of the belligerent nations I would want the country from which I came to be successful in the war in which it is engaged. But my friends I do not question the loyalty or the patriotism of any American citizen of foreign birth. I know if we were to become involved in a war with any nation on earth that every German, every Frenchman and every other citizen of foreign birth would rally as one man under the stars and stripes and stand shoulder to shoulder in defense of the country and our flag. The facts are, the foreign relations of our government should never be made a political issue. In such rtiatters every American citizen should give loyal support to the president of the United States no matter from which party he comes.

Progressives.

"Our republican friends are claiming the progressives are all going to vote with them this year. I do not believe it. The progressives left the republican party four years ago, not because they did not love the party of Lincoln, but because they believed the leaders of that party were controlled by the interests and because they could not secure the progressive legislation they desired. Who were the republican leaders four years ago? I answer, Barnes, Penrose, Cannon, Smoot, Fairbanks, Watson, New and Goodrich. Who are the republican leaders now? Why, the same gentlemen and all of them except two are candidates for office. These gentlemen drove you out of the party four years ago and no one can make me believe an honest progressive in Indiana, who was sincere in his declarations four years ago and two years ago, will now go back and eat out of the hands of Fairbanks. Watson, New and Goodrich. No, gentlemen, I have too much faith in the honesty and sincerity of Indiana progressives to believe they will do anything of the kind. They are men of conviction and they have the courage of their convictions. They will vote a progressive ticket if they have one and ifv they have none they will vote with lis. Our policies and principles are nearer and dearer to them than those advocated by the republican party. They wanted an income tax law and we gave it to them they wanted currency reform and we gave it to them they wanted the right to vote direct for United States senators and we gave it to them they wanted legislation giving relief to labor and we gave it to them they wanted more liberal pensions for union soldiers and we gave it to them they wanted a tariff law embodying the principle of protection but opposed to extortion and we gave it to them. In fact, there is but little difference between us and these differences can be harmonized. The treatment of progressives by Fairbanks, Watson, New and Goodrich at Chicago four years ago has not been forgotten. Then at the recent convention held at Chicago, insult was added to injury. In the face of these facts what progressive could vote the republican ticket and maintain his self respect.

Cnndtdncy for Governor.

Now, gentlemen, I have devoted my time almost entirely to a discussion of national affairs, believing they will be the issues in the coming campaign. I want to come back here later and discuss at length some matters relating to our state government. I want to bfe your governor because I believe I can render for you and for the state of Indiana a valuable service. I am basing my campaign for governor on my record as a citizen' of Indiana, on my record in the legislature of the state and on my ten years' service in the national congress. When I went to congress ten years ago I began a fight on the commercial vampires of Wall street, who hung around Washington dictating and controlling our legislation while the republican party was in power. I have contributed my part toward driving them from the nation's capital and taken an active part in all the constructive legislation which has brought so much relief to the American people. At this very moinent there are interests in Indiana trying to get control of the governor's office for the purpose of dictating the appointment of a public service commission, which will permit them to operate the public utilities of the state, not in the interest of the people, but in the interest of a favored few. Let me assure you here and now that if I am your governor I will, make the same fight against greed and robbery in the state of Indiana that I have made against it in the national congress. I will protect your rights and give to the people an honest, economical administration of the affairs of state

Going- to "Win.

We are going to win because we deserve to win. We are 'united as never before. Our party is closer to the hearts of the American people than ever before. We enjoy the confidence of every voter in the land who is not blinded with partisanship or controlled by a selfish desire to hold office. If you believe in America. American institutions and the American flag if you believe in peace with honor and war only when necessary to maintain the rights of America, and American citizens, both upon land and sea if you believe in the sanctity of the home and the liberties of the people if you want peace to prevail and prosperity to continue vote for Woodrow Wilson and the democratic ticket.

Other Candidates Here.

Mr. Adair, Representative Ralph W. Moss George Bittler, state auditor Mason J. Niblack, candidate for lieutenant governor, and Judge E. A. McNutt, judge of the appellate court, were guests of honor in an automobile tour covering most of Vigo county, and short talks were delivered at Prairieton, Middletown, Pimento, Blackhawk and Lewis during (he morning. Yesterday afternoon the party went to West Terre Haute and then to North Terre Haute, Seelyville and Riley, arriving in the city less than half an hour before time for the night meeting.

At each of the stops the speakers were welcomed by large, enthusiastic crowds.

One of the "regular" incidents of the tour was created at North Terre Haute just at the close of Mr. Adair's talk when a man drove through the crowd and stopped his muie directly in front of and below the speaker, and George Moorhead made the remark that "only exceptional candidates %r^ried their party embjpms with them."
