Senator Norris Charge Highlights Campaign Attacks
The piece notes that while Wilson and Hughes have run a largely clean race, aides have leveled unworthy accusations. It discusses Norris's claim about the National Guard at the Mexican border and Republican reactions, citing Major General Funston on border urgency.
National Guard on the Border Under Central Command
The National Guard commander on the border was the supreme authority, with militia forces delivering first security to the southwestern frontier after six years. Withdrawals of troops were partly military and partly for retraining, aiming to ready units for national preparedness while replacing veterans with fresh troops. The railroads were not the motive, a point the piece argues Republicans will defend against Senator Norris as misconceptions spread among interior voters.
