T. R. Wins Supporters For Hughes In Kentucky.

Asserting that for three years there had been “no protection of our citizens abroad,” Theodore Roosevelt in an address last night at Louisville, on behalf of Charles E. Hughes, assailed the course of President Wilsbn in dealing with Mexico, and his conduct of the country’s foreign affairs. “It combined lofty promises and complete failure in performance. It consisted of words which wore nulified by deeds,” he said in summing up his view of the president’s course. Entering Kentucky in the morning, Colonel Roosevelt delivered more than a dozen rear platform addresses, before reaching Louisville. Crossing the Ohio river at Cincinnati, his course took him almost to the Tennessee line. At Paris and Cynthiana he told his audiences he must be glad to be in Kentucky where, it was necessary, “the people were nottoo proud to fight.” His largest audiences were at Richmond and Winchester.
