DEFENDS WILSON

HIG1 POLIGYi

Representative Harrison

Speaks in House for

His Chief.

Washington, D C- Aug. S. Replying

to Republicrn criticisms of president

Wilson's policy in the house today,

representative Harrison of Mississippi

declared that the attacks were prompt

ed by a desire to create a false cam

paign i"ue rather than to see the pol

icy changed.

Mr. Harrison mentioned particularly

former justice Hughes's speech accept

ing the Republican nomination and

speeches In congress by senator A. B

Fall and representative Rodenberg of

Illinois. He interpreted Mr. Hughes's

statements as meaning that he would

have recognized Huerta, would not

have issues munitions embargoes, and

would have mterened in Mexico

"If Mr. Hughes were president," he

added, "the country would be at war.

and instead of a sky reflecting the

color from the furnaces of prosperoui

factories, it would be reflecting red

streams of blood from noble youths."

sentative Rodenberg that the embargo
