RECALL3 A LIKE CASE.
I Navy Deparament'a Fight on Schley
Resembles the Conspiracy Against
Zachary Taylr.
... ..
Editor Leader Tho attitude of tho
federal administration In its course to-
ward Admiral W. S. Schley 'in many
respects resembles that of tho Polk
administration toward General Zach-
ary Taylor over a half a century ago.
in both tbeso cases partisan politics
was at the bottom of Iho hostility and
in both cases tho groat American pub-
lic 6entiment was on tho side of tho
persecuted and against the persecut-
ors. There was howevor this difference:
Tho shabby treatment of Admiral
Schley began with tho Initiation of tho
Spanish war while that of General
Uaylor did not assume outward form
until his g: eat victorloa over tho Mox-
ican armies Tapdly following ono an-
other had made him to Idol of the
American people and his narr.? began
to bo linked with that of tho presl
dency. There Is much In tho Schley
case which recalls the politics of the
olden time and I doubt very much if
the American sentiment of right and
justice does not demand and onforco
In 1801 the logic and precept which
elected General Taylor president n
1848 and If all Indications are not at
fault Admiral Schley will be the
Dercocatlc candidate for tho presi-
dency in response to tho demand of
the people as It was in tho case of
Taylor more than a half century ago.
I was a Domocrat thon as I am now
but was only a kid and could not vote
but I remember very vividly tho of-
forts made by leading Democrats of
tha Polk administration after the
residential linos were drawn and
Jir. Cass was nominated by tho Demo-
crats and General Taylor by the
"Whigs to bellttlo General Taylor's
military achievements In Mexico and
I romombor too tho acrimonious can-
vaeB and tho bittor epithets hurled
Lack nnd forth by the local poMtlolans
c- both sides.
News traveled very slowly at that
time and often it was weeks before
events of great public importance
transpired in tho groat centers before
thoy reached the "far West" and dally
newspapers were as scarce in my boo-
xlou of the state aa honest politicians
In Oklahoma. Indeed I had novor
Been a dally newspaper at that timo
hut I fear to venturo the parallel and
apply It strictly as to the history of
Oklahoma politicians lest some of
lihem might think I meant "hlia" in
particular. '
It should be borne In mind that at
V.lhat time In our history tho telegraph

The fog at an early hour was bo
thick that porsons standing on tho
sidewalks could scarcely distinguish
streot cars passing within a few foot
of thorn.

Toxas Gonernl Taylor previously hav-
ing been asslgnod to tho command of
tho Southwest district arrived at
Corpus Christ! early In August and
established his headquarters thoro.
He hal with him but i.500 troops. Tho
act of annexation greatly enragod tho
Mexican government already at fovor
heat over tho Texas question. Tho
American government claimed tho Rio
Grande as the boundary. The Mexi-
can govornmont dliputed this nnd In-
sisted upon ho Nuccea aa the boun-
dary lino between the two govern-
ments. War seemed imminent and
ooth sides begn making preparations.
This administration was doing In
secret everything posslbtb to force tho
war without openly showing Its hand.
Thore was a powerful anti-war eontl-
raent throughout tho United Statos
and to unify this sontlmect and bring
It to the support of tho Polk adminis-
tration all its efforts wero directed to
forcing tho Mexican government to
strlko tho llrst blow and to this end
secret stents woro sent to Gonoral
Taylor urging hlra to erose the Nuocos
Into tho disputed territory. He was
assured that there would bo no com-
plaint if he did bo. General Taylor
resolutely rofusod to move without
exproas ordors from the president

crossed the Nouces and took up a po

Genernl Taylor with barely 2 300
men took it up and promptly marched
out to meet him and on th 8th day of
' May at Palo Alto oompletelv -outed
the Mexican general and drove him
from tho field with terrible loss. Gen
