Both Sides Satisfied BY
Agreement With Mexico

sued statement to the Associated
Press in which he said: .r.. .[
GAS result of the conference yes
terday with General Scott the atmo-
phere now completely seems cleared
up. There is much better feeling be-
tween Americans and Mexicans and all
tension seems vanished. ...a.a
can agreement has not been reached
but everything is progressing favor
ably and have the highest hope that
matters will reach a successful cul-
mination."
1t was reported on good authority
tonight that General Obregon had re-
ceived assurances that the terms of
the tentative agreement would be &C.
ceptable to Carranza.
Douglas, Ariz., May 3.-The uprising
in behalf of Felix Diaz in Sinaloa is
growing, according to private advices
received here today from that state.
A band of sympathizers of the nephew
of the former Mexican president, num-
bering several hundred men, was re-
ported advancing northward toward
Mazatlan on the Southern Pacific rail-
road burning bridges en- route.
Because of the dispatch of large
bodies of de facto troops into Sonora
recently the government is said not to
be in a position to combat this move
ment with any vigor at this time.
Ell Paso, May 3.-Advices from Mex
leo City and Washington are awaited
to set the seal Of approval upon pro-
visional agreement that is understood
to have been reached at an informal
conference between General Scott and
General Obregon. The conference
was not ended until after midnight
and the two conferees emerged from
the meeting place in rare good humor.
Scott went Immediately to his pri-
vate car and arranged for the dispatch
of coded message to Washington.
Neither Scott or Obregon would talk
of the deliberations.
1t has been suggested that another
formal conference may now be regard
ed as unnecessary and that Mexico
City and Washington will say the final
word in the settlement of the military
questions that have arisen out of the
drive Of American troops in Mexican
territory in the chase for Villa.
The reported agreement is said to-
be based on the general proposition
that American troops will further re-
tire toward the border and operate
against the Villistas in a restricted
district where their presence and &C
tivities will not provoke further hostil-
ity Of the Mexican people, and to re-
main there until such time as the ad-
ministration at Washington is convinc-
ed beyond a doubt that the Carranza
government has the situation in hand
and is able to cope with the Villa ban
dts.
Reports that American troops will
withdraw in either thirty or sixty
days from Mexican soil under agree
ment are in no way confrmable.

that this remark was very offensive
to the leading Indians who recog.

detrimental to the welfare and

doubly hard for those who are

Now The Truth

Information received here from
the south shows that within the
year 100000 colored people,
chiefly laborers, have emigrated to
northern states. Late in t h
recent campaign the Department
Of Justice gave out a statement
conveying the impression that re-
publican campaign managers were
responsible for h e northward
drift Of the colOred people and
that the object was the control of
elections in northern states. The
information now made public is
that these men have come north
because of the urgent demand for
men and the high wages paid in
munitions plants, in mines, in
railroad work, and III general
construction.

Deficit Nearly Hundred Million

There are two methods of com
putting the deficit in the United
States Treasury, one is by ascer'
tanning the difference between
ordinary receipts and ordinary dis
bursments. The deficit h II S
ascert aimed indicates the extent to
which the administration has been
delinquent in the management of
the ordinary affairs Of the govern
ment. r h 9 other computation
strikes the difference between the
total receipts and total dsburse-
ments. The total disbursements
include not only the ordinary dis.
bursements for the maintenance
of government service, but also
expenditures on account of the
public debt and operation Of the
Panama Canal. On November 10.
the deficit, according to ordinary
receipts and disbursements, was
$S5, $40, 900, and according to total
receipts and total disbursements
was $97. .712, 900. The latter de-
ficit is really the amount the gov
ernment is behind in its finances
for the present fiscal year, which
began July lst.

Although President Wilson has
been reelected and will serve
another four years in the White
House, yet a study of the election
returns will shO that Hughes re-
ceived a large majority of the ell
ectoral votes in those states where
there was a real pOliti cal contest.
In eleven southern states which
constitute the solid south, and
which have voted the democratic
ticket without fail ever since the
civil war, there are 126 electoral
votes. 1t would have been perfect
ly safe ten years ago to make
bet at the odds Of 100 to l that
all those states would support the
democratic national candidate in
1916, regardless of who that candi-
date might be.
With such a situation presented,
it is absolutely true to say that
there was no political contest in
those states. The total electoral
vote in this country is 531. Sui
tracing the 126 electoral votes in
the south, we have 4O5 electoral
votes from states in wh ic h
t here was contest between
the republican and democratic
parties. In those states Governor
Hughes won 255 electoral votes
and Woodrow Wilson $50.
The republican candidate went
into the campaign with a handi.
cap Of 70 per cent. Every re-
publican candidate for the presi-
dency has exactly the same handi-
cap. For all practical purposes,
we could as we'll abandon the
national election in the southern
states an i count the electoral
votes for the democratic nominees
without any other formality.
Neither the tariff nor any foreign
or domestic policies of the ad-
ministratiOn, nor even the kept
US out of war" argument had any
influence whatever in the southern
states this year. The election in
those states that was decided in
advance Of the adoption of plat
} sorms or the nomination of eaaa;s-
mates. In view OF these facts.
Mr.. Wilson can hardly figure his
election an unqualified victory.
He received about tn ree-eighths OF
the electoral votes in the states
Yhere there Yves a real political
contest.
