DECLARES MEXICO IS GOING DEEPER IN MUD

H. L. Wilson Tells Republicans at Marion That Problem is Far From Solution. k Marion, Ind., June 2 2. —Henry Lane Wilson, former ambassador to Mexico, addressed the newly organized All-Year-Round republican club here tonight He was introduced by Attorney Steven McSwiggen, who mentioned the various diplomatic responsibilities he had discharged. Mr. Wilson discussed the Mexican situation, asserting that the Mexican situation had been a problem for forty years and was farther away from a solution than ever. Oswald Ryan, of Anderson, progressive candidate for prosecutor of Madison county in the last election, gave his reasons for returning to the republican party. “In joining the progressive party,” he said, “in a speech in Faneuill Hall in Boston in 1912,1 said that the only thing that could take me out of the progressive party would be the thing that took me nto it—my desire to advance progressive principles, chief among which was a scientific protective tariff and a larger nationalism. Tonight I can add to that statement that the tihng which took me into the progressive party has taken me out of dt—nay desire to advance the principles of a better government in which I believe. There are same who still remain with progressive party on the ground that thus only can they stand for progressive principles. But the going forward can be accomplished only through a practical agency, and the progressive party, by the logic of recent events, supported by the statements of the party leaders, is no longer a practical political agency for advancing progressive principles.”
