TO INFORM THE PUBLIC After reading the last ^issue of.

.the ^Clayton ^News I feel disposed to "rise up in meetin" and make a few remarks.

As president of the Union County Teachers' Association I wish to say that I appointed the Resolutions Committee without any suggestions from Mr. Errett whatever. I had not even ^decided ^whom ^. ^I should

Union

select until the in which they were appointed. ^My main idea was .to have the whole county, ^in- cluding Clayton, represented. I also wish to state that I was present, at the request of the committee when those resolutions were drawn up and please note that Mr. Errett was not "settin there" as you ^insin- uated.. And furthermore please note that all. members,, save one, of the Resolutions Committee are ^Demo- crats.

(Signed) '...,....

Mrs. Nell Hauser.

I Understand from the effusion

that appeared in the last issue of the' News that the members of the Resolution 'Committee1 werr mere puppets who jotted down the reso lutions as they were dictated by Mr, Errett,' and that the teachers of this county are dupes who are led to do things in which they are not sincere. As chairman of the ^Reso- lutions Committee, and speaking in behalf of said committee ^I wish to express- our resentment ^'against such insinuations as havebeen made by a would be journalist in the ^em- ploy of the Clayton News.

Furthermore I wish to ^endorse what has been said by Mrs. Hauser in regard to the meeting of the ^Res- olutions Committee.' ^-.Mr.

Errett ^nor ^Mr. Hall were present when those resolutions were drawn up and we stand responsible forany and all statements contained

And I do not believe that ^the teachers of county are dupes^to or unanimously a setof olutionsthat^did not meet with their approval in which they do not ^fully concur.

Fence Vanishes

Carl E.

CARL EKLUND,

: Precinct Chairman.

Hughes For ^Women's ^Votes New York, 'July 31. Charles' EJ"

Hughes tonight outlinedin his speech of acceptance the issues upon which.

he will conduct his campaign for the

presidency. ^.

Mrs.' Hughes assailed the adminis-^-, tration for the course it has pursued with reference to Mexico, maintain--'

anee of American rights during the European war, preparedness and^oth-^-.

er great questions of the day. He ^declared for a new policy of "firmness and consistency" toward ^.Mexico,.' for'

"the unflinching maintainance of all American rights on land and sea," and.

for adequate national defense, ^adequate protection on both our western and eastern coasts."

''We denounce all plots .and con spiracies in the interest of any ^for--,

eign nation," Mr. Hughes said. ^"Ut--! terly intolerable is the ^{use of} our soil for alien intrigues. Every American' must unreservedly condemn them and support every effort for their sup-

pression."

'The nominee assailed the administration for its "direction of ^diplo- matic intercourse," from the ^begin- ning, declaring that where there should have been conspicuous strength and expertness there had been ^weak- ness and inexpertness. He cited. San to Domingo as an instance wheretrust

was shockingly betrayed by appoint- ments given to "deserving ,,demo-

crats, and to the failure to continue Ambassador Herrick at his; post in Paris after the war had started as a

"lamentable savriiico of internation-^- of family present. The ser- - al repute."

"I endorse the declaration in the platform in favor of woman suffrage"

Mr.Hughes declared. And he added:

"Opposition may delay, but in my' judgment cannot defeat this move- ment. I favor the vote for women."

One-four- th of the speech was ^{de- -}

voted to Mexico. Step after step ta ken by the administration with reference to Mexico was assailed, from the days of Huerta to the note sent the de facto government by the si .1:

department June 20, last, part of which was quoted in the speech. The seizure of Vera Cruz, the nom ime said, "was war, of course."

"Later we retired from Vera Cnr:"

he continued, "giving up this ncble warfare. Recently the naked truth

was admitted by a cabinet officer. We are not informed that ^{we did} not go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta to sa-- luta the flag. We era told that ^we'

went there to 'show Mexico that ^we

were in earnest in our demand that Huerta must go."

America, Mr. Hughes continued,

"has no policy of aggression toward Mexico, no desire for any part of her territory, but wished her to have John Corich ^& Son, who peace, stability and prosperity.

tcrs,

have just

Merc.

"The conduct of the administration has created differences we shall have to surmount," he said. "We demand from Mexico the protection of the lives and prosperity of our citizens ánd the security of our border from depredations."

Safeguarding American rights r.broad had not been accomplished by the administration, he said. There had been "brave words in a series of notes," but "what does it avail to use some of the strongest words known to diplomacy if ambassadors can receive the impression that^the ^words ^are ^not

to be taken seriously ?"
