Tho chairman reviewed at length i the legislative record of the adminis tration and eulogised the president for,his direction of foreign affairs.' The< democrats, he sad, had enacted a tariff hnv under which monopolies were curbed and unexampled pron- j perity attained; a banking law taking, the money control out of the handB of an oligarchy and making panics, no longer, possjble; and many re-' folrnjs measures , of lesser^ lmpor--.| tance Ho . declared^ .President .Wilson's1 Mexican policy and hts course in j protecting .American . rights against j . the encroachments of European bel- j ligerents had sttovn all the world " that the president "neither bullies the weak nor fears the strong.".'
