"When we contemplate industrial

Suddenly there came from over the

What the Republican candidate for
president says about It the Democrats
know to be true:
"Our opponents promised to reduce
the cost Of living. This they have
failed to do, but did reduce the oppor-

not forget the conditions that existed
In this country under the new tariff
prior to the war. Production had de-
creased; business was langulshing
new enterprises were not undertaken (;
instead Of expansion there was cur

Perhaps one reason why the Hughes
meeting here was so disappearing to
our good local Republican friends,
who worked so faithfully and so well
to bring a vast crowd to Lexington to
demonstrate" lies in the fact that
there were no burgoo and no free
"doings." Our own personal observ-
alton of the Kentucky Republican in
his normal state has been that he will
not demonstrate up to full capacity

The reasons the Mexican government has for insist ing on this are as follows:
 Tn the first place the government does not believe that the territory east of Piedras Negras need taken into consideration for the reason that Villa and his band always have operat- ed in the states of Sonora and Chihua- hau, and we consider the necessity for extending the agreement to the whole frontier remote. In the second place this government considers it es- sential to place a limit on the dis tance which pursuing forces may pen citrate and believes that sixty kilo meters is ample for the pursuing army to come in contact with the bandits or the forces of the country they have en- tered. The latter forces are to con tinue the pursuit. In the third place, pursuing parties in such instances can have little use for artillery and infan- try as campaign must be rapid and can only be carried out by caval- ry.

 Lastly, the limitation realtive to the number of troops is important as it is fair to suppose that the number of bandits is not great and 1000 caval- rymen would suffice for the work. If greater numberof troops cross. it en- dangers the good relations between the two countries"
 On April :, Washington sent a note agreeing to the proposition that only sixty kilometers of the border line be considered in the agreement and that the pursuing force would re- main on foreign soil not over 9 days without special permission. The new note also agreed that no pursuit would commence after period of three days had elapsed since the commission of the raid To this was added a special request that the expedition now in Mexico be considered a special case
 The Mexican government refused to give its consent to this request and in turn demanded the recall of the American troops.
