Canal policy failure cited in 1914 editorials
The Daily Telegram condemns the national administration's "watchful waiting" in Mexico, calls the Vera Cruz seizure and ensuing events a colonial blunder, and argues Democratic fiscal and policy failures justify a political shift in November. It cites a $1.105 billion appropriations request, a $49 million treasury deficit, and criticizes executive and Congress over spending, pensions, and post offices. It also accuses Democrats of mismanaging the civil service, primary measures, and the canal privilege bill.
