The speaker eaid that Jf Wilson had ever wabbled, he had wabbled right and that was all anybody could ask.

"The republicans once tried to pass an income tax law, but It wasn't successful. Jim Wutson and JoeCannon were in favor of It and whenever I seo them w-urking for anything the peoplo want I get suspicious.

Vollmer, Father of Embargo Resolution is Out For Wilson

In Statement Says Hughes' Supporters Show They Are Not Neutral. Nw--TImc Special Service: DAY F.N PO KT. In., Nov. 2. Former Congressman Henry Vollmer, who in the 6.1rd congress fathered the resolution for an embargo on the shipment of munitions to the 1'uropcan belligerents, today declared In an authorized Interview in the Davenport Democrat in favor of j the re-election of Pres't Wilson. Although a lifelong democrat, Mr. Vollmer was for a time identified with the so-called German-American propagandists who bitterly assailed the president's International policy. One of the most prominent Americans of German nativity in the country, Mr. Vollmer wielded a big influence with Americans of German birth as well a.--: those of German descent. In his statement today he expressed regret that he flt compelled to part company wt 1 those who had expressed the hope that German-Americans should voice a united protest against the party in power. "Our first duty," he declared, "is to this country and our political allegiance should be decided by the Issues of must concern to this country. And hence I feel that it is my duty as an American citizen and a democrat to cast my vote for the democratic national ticket nt the coming election. "From the time when his name was first used in connection with the candidacy for the presidency, have asked my friends of the national German alliance, the American Independence union and the embargo conferenc what positive assurance they have, if uny, that Mr. Hughes would be more truly neutral us we understand the term, than Mr. Wilson has been. "I have watched all of their attempts to wecur euch declarations and I have waited until these, the closing hcrs of the campaign for them to ge: something more satisfying on tht subject, but up to dato they have nothing, said either in TEAR DOWN POSTERS Soldiers Hack lroiu llortler Itesout Insult to President.

public or prhate, that is more than a generality except in his speech at Columhus. O., when he came out flatly against the embargo and against' warning Americans to keep off armed belligerent ships. "My ( suspicions w ere first raised In regard to Mr. Hughes when I perceived the successful efforts of Georg W. Pci!ins, late financial partner and political representative of J. P.' Morgan, agent for munitions and war loans in the United States for his Ilrittanic majesty to deliver the progressive party, hag and baggage to Mr. Hushes. "What is meant by the general pronouncements of Mr. Hughes for a stronger foreign polio than that of Mr. Wilson is made clear and specific by the emphatic declarations of Theodore Uoosevelt (who insults with equal insolence this GermanAmerican fellow citizens and the resident of the United States) Kühn Hoot (long-time attorney for the Pritish embassy and tb- interests of Wall st.). and Heary Cabot Lodge (the incarnation of our New Fngland codfish aristocracy), men who certainly stand closer to Candidate Hughes than any of the gentlemen of the. aforesaid tllianee union or conference. One of these three will in all probability be Mr. Hughes secretary of state. "To aid these men to get into power and to put their emphatically stated '.octrines into force would, on the pan. of these German organizations appear to me to ho veritably, biting off the nose to spite the face."

Strong Precautions Are Taken at Juarez to Prevent More Desertions. International News Service: EL, l'ASO. Texas. Nov. 2.len. Palazar and a strong force of Vil listas are moving north from Chihuahua City today, burning bridges, ilcstroyinsr railroad trains and loot - ins trains-, according to information reaching Juarez. Strong precautions are being taken by the Carranza authorities at Juarez to prevent wholesale desertions from the garrison as the Villislas draw near. An aerage of 10 men have been deserting every niht for more than a week and sentinels have been instructed to lire upon any one seen leaving the barracks without permission. Presence of the Villistas north of Chihuahua gives Villa virtual cor.trol of the state, as railroad trattio has been stopped front all directions. It is believed (len. Trevino will try to reach Monterey with his forces when he is compelled to evacuate. Endues between Sauez and (lallcgo have been burned down and five miles of track torn up, preventing supplies from reaching Trevino's men. who are badly In need of them.
