That Mexican Commission

AS if trying to prove the accuracy OF
the assertion that the chief purpose Of
the Mexican conference was to tide ov-
er the Mexican situation until after
election, the commission met yesterday
and remained in session whole hour.
The social program arranged for the
Mexican commissioners Is already ten
times as long as the working program
and already word comes from New
London that 1t is going to be difficult
for the commissioners, 'in view Of the
many invitations they have received
and the social functions arranged in
their honor" to proceed with anything
like expedition.
In the graphic terms Of Col. Roose-
welt, president Wilson did not merely
kiss the hand that slapped him in the
face, he kissed that hand when it was
red with the blood of American men,
women and children who had been
murdered and mutilated with. as Pres

What will be thought by many Am

rich who have their summer homes in
the vicinity of New London or who
have gathered there for this occasion

with President Wilson to Kiss these
same bloody hands, the hands Of the
representatives Of the bandit who has
murdered so many Americans and who
frankly avows that he gave the order
which resulted in killing seventeen
American soldiers at Carrizal, remains
to be seen. But in any event, they are
helping President Wilson to tide the

Democratic Figuring

That hopeless optimist, Vance Nc
National Committee, is confident that
even if the Progressives have returned
to the Republican party, as shown by
the Maine election, "the Middle West
is overwhelmingly for Wilson," while
Secretary Lane asserts that West of
the Alleghanies is solid for the Presi-
dent"
In 1914, the Maine Republicans polled
5s.s62 votes; the Progressives 1925. In
Ohio. the Republicans polled 524.625.
the Progressives 6o,971. Tho Republic
an, Willis, was elected by S1.25s plural
ity. The percentage Of Progressives in
Ohio was, therefore, much smaller than
in Maine. The Democratic candidate
received 1929 fewer votes than the
combined Republican and Progressive
vote. In Wisconsin the Republican
candidate for governor was elected
with 14o,7S7 votes, the Progressives
casting 32,56O the combined vote being
53.S3S greater than that Of the Demo-
crat- In Iowa, the Republican candid
ate for governor was elected by plur-
ality of 3O,S61. The Progressives polled
1899. In Indiana, two years ago, a
Democratic senator was reelected by a
plurality of 45,4S3. Miller, Republican.
226.766, and Beveridge. Progressive.
1851. Mr.. Beveridge is now support
ing Mr.. Hughes. Add one-half his vote
to that Of Mr. Miller and see where
Shively, the Democratic candidate,
would have been. Democratic arith-
metic must be as peculiar as Demo-
cratic craftsmanship.
