The Nome daily nugget., 1913-11-11

It looks very much as if the wart on the Mexican political situation was about to undergo an operation and that all the good people who have been worrying about the disngurement to the fair face of the land of MonteZuma can quit bothering for while and l take things easy.
 It is said that Huerta has decided | to heed the advice of the United States backed by the powers of Flu rope and not claim that he is the duly elected president of the southern re- public.
 This will make quite a difference In the sitaution no doubt if Huerta sue ceeds in putting this latest scheme over and the government of the United States allows him to continue to oC- cupy the chair of the chief magistrate of the country he will begin to think that we are too easy Huerta has 1ldue pTOTnI6tS lO uo AhN bN has kept them just long enough to halk some contemplated move on the part of the United States. Now he finds that President Wilson means business and he is trying another bluff If Huerta was merly toying with our amateur state department he might get away with 1t. The state department has swallowed the Huertaistic dope pills so long that 1t has become habit and it needs a pill or two every day to keep 1t feeling right. But just now there is gentleman running the Mexican sideshow who is not in the habit of using dope. either political or diplomatic. and 1t Is very doubtful If the Mexican polsoner can drop a pill into MT. Wilson's glass of water and get away with it. It's a ten to one shot that when the president saw the bloodstained hand of the Mexican as- sassin reaching over the table with this latest poison powder labeled "another election in three months he knew per- fectly we'll what was going to happen and after Huerta has dropped the dope into the glass MT. Wilson will throw the whole thing out of the window and go get another glass of water.
 Huerta has played a remarkably clever hand and has sat behind a bust ed straight and raised the ante time after time and bluffcd the United States into laying down three aces Now President Wilson has drawn to flush and filled and he isn't going to lay down until his last chip is on the table.
 Wilson was boy once himself and had warts on his fingers and he knows that even when the growth is burned off it may come back again.
 It seemd not long ago when an elec- tion was ordered in Mexico as if the wart was burned of. But pshaw what's the use? There's the same old wart in the same old place and 1t isn't going to do a bit of good to burn ,t off again with the same old hold an- other election caustic."
 President Wilson knows that just as well as he knows how hard 1t was to get the warts of the boyhood days off | of his fingers. He also knows that 1 there is but one way to get rid of either a political wart or one of the ordinary toad variety. and that is to | cut it out at the root. And that is just exactly what will be done with the present growth on the body polite of Mexico. MT. Wilson will see to it that the thing is removed by the knife and he will be sure that he cuts deep enough to get root and all so that in the future any country that shakes hands with Mexico need not fear the hidden roughness on her fingers. Senor Huerta may be able to dope some of the people but he is not going to dope one Woodrow Wilson. He may be able to scrub up his hands ana clean the blood off and he may be able to get the wart off of Mexico or cover it up with grease paint so that 1t will not show. but he will not fool Mir. Woodrow Wilson and 1t Is safe to say that if the wart Is not cut out of the Mexican hand in pretty quick time
