The Wilson-Lane farce, otherwise
known as the Mexican Conference.
gives evidence of coming to an abrupt
end. The Mexican delegates >were
asked to adjourn for ten days, SO az to
avoid any disagreement before the
election, but they refused. Instead
they pointed out that the conference
was serving no good purpose. that the
Wilson administration was guilty of
positively bad faith, that they entered
the conference on an agreement that it
was to take up Immediately the with
drawal of American troops from Mexi-
can territory: that instead of so-doing.
the proceedings have been dragged out
with academic discussions which led
nowhere and it obviously had been thus
ineffectively prolonged to serve the
political ends of President Wilson. The
Mexican delegates intimated that they
were unwilling longer thus to be made
the plaything of Democratic politics.
When asked for some idea Of what
the conference had accomplished dur
ing its ten weeks sessions, Secretary
Lane replied, II will try to think up
something"
It is generally believed that II the
Mexicans can be persuaded to adjourn
until after election day, the conference
will then break up for Eosd' having
served the whole purpose for which 1t
is instituted the deception Of some few
voters regarding the Mexican middle.

FOR PRESIDENT:
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
VICE PRESIDENT:
CHARLES ". FAIRBANKS
A most manifest sign Of wisdom
is a continual cheerfulness; such a
state and condition. like things in
the region above the moon, is al
ways clear and Observation-Disclosures.
Awaiting the Verdict.

The evidence is all in and this morn
ing the case goes to the jury.
We have no misgivings as to the YER
dict-we trust the good sense of the
millions of voters in the jury box.
Deception. fraud and tr:ckery will
play a part, without doubt. but the re-
suit will not be seriously affected.
If every juror registers his convic-
ton in the final ballot the country will
receive justice.
Final "scares" and gambling pre-
lenses have been flashed in the last 4S
hours, for their effect on hesitating and
weak kneed jurors, but the level-head-
edness of the average American has al
ways saved the nation in crisis.
Straw votes" and canvasses are as
useless as are the predictions of politi-
cal prejudice-let us trust the intelli-
gence and conscience of the people,
Messrs. Hughes and Fairbanks and
the Republican organization have
fought an uphill fight from the start.
They faced an aggregation that had
been living political preparedness for
four years. The opposition was en-
trenched in every federal ofice-and
the number had been tremendously in
creased by generalization of the civil
service plan. A vote-catching propa-
ganda has been working night and day
on ammunition. All sorts of material,
no matter how bad, has been seized
and converted to administration use.
But MIR. Hughes was summoned by
the people when the reaction came af-
ter the country had been misled by high
sounding but meaningless phrases. He
was the peoples choice If such has ever
figured in our history. He has waged
a frank. open, honest campaign. He
has dealt with conditions confronting
the nation. And he has been assailed
by avalanches of falsehood by those
who had. previous to his Presidential
candidacy. uttered nothing but nigh
praise of his integrity and ability.
He will win, today.
We need not refer to the opposition
or it's candidate, for the collection and
piling up of facts is useless at this
hour. Let every voter do his duty and
the result will be triumph for patriot
ism and progress.
