represent our sister republic in Mexi-
co. Conscious of the purpose with
which the proffer is made, this govern

the peace of America, the cordial
intercourse of her republics and her
people, and the happiness and pros

We, the representatives of the pro-

the legalized liquor traffic as a crimi-
nal traffic; and that by every law of
God is, and of man ought to be abol-
ished; that we recognize in a republi-
can form of government the only sue
cessful method of consummating our
issue is through the espousal of that
issue by a political party.
That we, therefore, pledge the best
we have, even unto life, for the pro-
hibition of this abominable traffic.
That we endorse the State Plat
form and pledge it our support.
That we labor more vigorously to
the enrolling of man that 80 per cent.
of the value of this county.
That we endorse the statewide
campaign for Oregon dry in 1914.
That we be unremitting in our eff
forts to get to the polls on election
day, the stay at home vote.
And. that in this campaign we look
with disfavor upon antagonism to-
ward any temperance organization
persuing a different method from our
own.

OFFER RISACCEPTED
To Prevent War President VIII
son Approves Mediation.
MAY SETTLE MEXICAN TROUBLE
One Offensive Act on Part of Huerta,
However, Will End All
Negotiations.

The United States has agreed that
it will accept any proper plan which
Brazil, Argentina and Chile can get
Mexico to agree to, whereby an hon
orable settlement of the matters i'll
dispute may be arrived at. The ac-
ceptance, however, is coupled with a
statement that some act of aggression
on the part of those who control the
military forces of Mexico might force
this government to act promptly and
withdraw this acceptance. But in the
meantime it is agreed that anything
which the three South American re-
publics are able to do will be CO.
operated in by this government.
President Wilson has made public
the following correspondence:
"Legation of the Argentina Repub-
lie, Washington, April 25, 1914.
"Mr. Secretary Of State With the
purpose of subscribing the interests of
peace and civilization in our conti-
nent and with the earnest desire to
prevent any further bloodshed to the
predjudice of the cordiality and union
which have always surrounded the
relations of the governments and peo-
Piles of America, we, the plenipoten-
tiaries of Brazil, Argentina and Chile,
duly authorized thereto, have the hon
or to tender to your eXcellency's gov
ernment our good offices for the
between the United States and Mexi-
co.
"This offer puts in due form the
suggestion which we had the oeca-
sion to offer heretofore on the subject
to the secretary to whom we renew
the assurances of our highest and
most distinguished consideration.
