RESIGN TO BRING PEACE
MEDIAToRS IN QUANDARY AS TO

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Gen Huerta has
authorized the Mexican mediation
delegates to submit his resignation. in
case such course is found necessary
to settlement in peace negotiations.
This was stated positively In dis
patches from n thoroughly competent
diplomatic source in Mexico City to
one OF the foreign representatives
here and confirms intimations given
by friends of the delegates here.
According to this Information from
Mexico City General Huerta at first
authorized the delegates to discuss
only the question of the Tampico con-
flict leading to the American occupa-
tion of Vera Cruz. Later the Mexican
dictator, 1t is explained. came to rec
ognize the necessity OF n broader set
tlement, and then conveyed to the
delegates assurances that he was pre-
pared to step down should this course
be found necessary by them.
The problem causing chief concern
to diplomats in Mexico City now is
that of the form of administration to
be established during the interregnum
before a constitutionally elected presi-
dent could assume office. No intima-
tions concerning the name of a posi-
BILE successor to Huerta were con-
tanned in the dispatch. this subject be-
ing one In which 1t would be neces-
sary to consult the opinion of Con-
stitutionalists and other leaders in
Mexico.

Frederick w. Lehman. who will rep
resent the United States at the Peace
Conference at Niagara Falls. Ontario.
lef, Washington Tuesday morning.
THE Huerta delegates never will
agree to the selection for provisional
President of any of the Constitution
alist military men, said man who
had long talk with the Huerta rep
resentatives here.
They want some one. however, for
provisional President who will guar.
antee a fair election to all parties con-
cerned. and who has not been a mill
tary partisan"
This view coincided with that OBJ
tained from other persons who had in
formal talks with the Huerta dele
gates here. The three Mexicans did
not divulge the nature of their long
conference with Huerta before their
departure.

the Antigua river. is the mcst import
ant link in the line between Vera Cruz
and Mexico City. and 1t is believed In
official circles that it was ordered de-
stroyed as result of the strong note
sent to President Huerta few days
ago demanding an explanation of the

tion of United States Consul Silliman

Congressman Opens Cam

Home Town.

Milton, N. D., Oct. 22.-congrees-
man H. T. Helgeson opened his cam
paign for reelection at the Milton
opera house Wednesday night and was
given royal reception by a large au-
dience of the citizens of his home
community.
Mr.. Helgeson attacked the war
tax" plan of the democratic party, de-
claring that the tax would have been
necessary even If there had been no
war In Europe, on account Of the ex-
travagant policy of the administra-
ton.
He asked why the people Of North
Dakota should vote for democratic
candidates when the democrats in
congress were passing legislation de-
signed to reduce the prices of products
OF this section, and maintain the
prices Of cotton and other products of
the southern part of the country.
He also declared that the high cost
OF living has not been reduced, and
that the democratic party has not
kept its campaign promises.
