1 Mexico and who, the President in dlcates strongly in his message, look to the United States for physical pro. lection.
 Those who are in position to know here, say that it is quite plain, not only from the Gamboa note, de- cliaing Envoy Lind's proposals. but from the whole attitude of Huerta and his friends, that he will be a can- didate at the October election.
 That means he will be elected at least in the territory his controls, no matter how little this may be, and as he regards the revolutionists as bandits, the absence of votes from the revolutionary territory will not be regarded by him as material Pre- sident Huerta will then put it up to the American administration that he has been elected by majority of tn. Mexican people and it would appea, that President Wilson must recognize him, because by the popular election and vindication, Huerta would be ac- quilted of the crime of murder of which he has been accused here by President Wilson.
 There has been no official state ment or even conjecture made by anyone of MT. Wilson's cabinet as to how long President Wilson means to tolerate the conditions as they exist now in Mexico. It was generally supposed that the Presidents mes sage would be an immediate solution of the difficulties.
 President Wilson's Address.
 President Wilson addressed Con- gress as follows:
 Gentlemen of the Congress: It is clearly my duty to lay before you, very fully and without reservation, the facts concerning our present relat- ions with the republic of Mexico. The deplorable posture of affairs in Mexi- co I need not describe, but I deem it my duty to speak very frankly of what this government has done and shall seek to do in fulfillment of it's obliga- tion to Mexico herself, as friend and neighbor, and to American citizens whose lives and vital interests are daily affected by the distressing con- ditions which now obtain beyond our southern border.
 Conditions That Touch Us Closely.
 Those conditions touch us very nearly. Not merely because they lie at our very doors, that of course makes us more wildly and more con- stantly conscious of them, and every instinct of neighborly interest and sympathy is aroused and quickened by them, but there is only one element in the determination of our duty We are glad to call ourselves the friends of Mexico. and we shall, I hope, have many an occasion in happier times as we'll as in these days of trouble and confusion, to show that our friend ship is genuine and disinterested, capable of sacrifice and every gener- ous manifestation. The peace, pros perity and contentment of Mexico mean more to us than merely an en- larged field for our commerce and enterprise. They mean an enlarge ment of the field of self government and the realization of the hopes and rights of nation with whose best as- pirations, so long suppressed and dis appointed, we deeply sympathize. We shall yet prove to the Mexican people that we know how to serve them with out first thinking how we shall serve ourselves.
 World Desires Mexican Peace.
 "But we are not the only friends of Mexico. The whole world desires both peace and progress, and the whole world is interested as never be- fore. Mexico lies at last where all the world looks on. Central America is about to be touched by the great routes of the worlds trade and inter- course running free from ocean to ocean at the isthmus. The future has much in store for Mexico, but the best gifts can come to her only if she be ready and free to receive them and to enjoy them honorably. America, in particular-America North and South, upon both continents-waits upon the development of Mexico, and that de- velopment can be sound and lasting oulu if it ho tha nrhduct of panuina
