Want AMERICANS
TO QUIT MEXICO
American Concerns Operating
Over Border Order Repre-
SentativeS Home.
by Associated Press

By Associated Press:
Ell PASO, Tex, Dec Certain
American concerns operating in Mex
leo ordered their border representa-
tives Thursday to prepare for getting
their American employees out of Mex
leo. In some cases the definite in
structions were given for immedi-
ate withdrawal OF American employ
es from Mexico.
Names of these companies were
withheld because of the possible
danger it was said, to their employees
in quitting the southern republic.
Fear Danger.
Danger to Americans in Mexico,
should diplomatic relations between
the two countries be broken off, has
been seriously discussed on the bor-
der in connection with the Jenkin' S
case. 1t was felt that an order from
the government such as was issued
by Pres't Taft in 1912 ordering
Americans to quit Mexico would ere
ate an il-feeling south of the bOr-
der and might cause bloodshed.
The problem Of getting the Ameri-
cans out of Mexico should diplomatic
relations be broken would be a diff
hcult one according to their employ
ers. for they are scattered through
out the country and many are great
distances from railroads and tele-
graph lines.
Would Close Industries.
Withdrawal of the Americans
would close all operations in indus
tries and mines, it was admitted.
and hundreds of Mexicans would be
thrown out Of employment Proper
ty valued at millions of dollars would
be forced to lie idle.
Companies preparing to get their
employees home hesitated Thursday
TO permit publication of their inten-
tions. Then it was decided that the
situation appeared so critical that
notice Of their action might point
the way TO safety 10 other Americans
in the interior.
Should a resolution breaking of
relations be passed it was said that
there would be a general exodus OF
Americans 10 the United states.

An American Question.

Rejecting the suggestion of Ho-

Democratic national committee
that the league of nations be made
the political issue in the presiden-

Hays, chairman of the Republican

dress is quoted as saying:
The conclusion of the treaty of
peace, including all its provisions
when we know what they are-is in
no sense partisan question. 1t is
an American question.
From whatever motives these
party chieftains may speak, it is
evident that the people will refuse
to consider support or opposition Of
the league of nations as test of
party loyalty. No question of par
tisanship is involved in the contro-
versy. and attempts to inject parti-
into it are made for tactical
purposes.

the Republicans are opposed to the

But even if such were the case in

the country are advocating the
league of nations, while many DEM

100000 of bonds were retired
during that period. Again, in its
issue of June 18th. it stated that
$685., 1854 was in the state treas
ury when Longino left the office
as governor. Following is what
the Madison County Herald says
about that:
"A part of Governor Longino'S
record as shown at page "a, of
the Senate Journal of 1902, is that
during Governor LOnginO's term
nearly 100000 was paid into the
State Treasury for lands sold be-
longing to A. & M. College, the
|. |. & c., and the State Univer-
sity, as well as to the negro AL
corn A. & NJ. College. This
100000, as stated in Governor
LOngino's message, was paid into
the State Treasury. and nOtwith-
standing this fact there was prac-
tically not a dollar in the State
Treasury when LOnginO went
out of office except what was
being put there by tax collectors
of the State for current taxes due
the State"
The Madison County Herald
quotes from the record that there
was practically not a dollar in
the State Treasury when Lon
gino went out of office" the
Messenger states there was
1852. 556.46. Can the Messenger
reconcile its statement with the
Herald's record?

Mere Alchemy of Statement.

Nobody is going to credit
statements made by partisan
newspapers boosting the candi-
daCy of any man for any office
unless these statements are yeri-
fled by testimony and the record.
The time never was when I'M
verified statements could be
made and cast into the ocean
electorate and land any appre-
Ciable number of votes. Most
people are sane and intelligent
enough to discern the camou-
flaged from the real, and will re-
fuse the spurious bait.
The sooner the Okolona Mes
seneer learns to print facts sup
ported bv testimony, the sooner
will it succeed in landing votes
for IFS gubernatorial candidate.
Since facts taken from Mr..
LOngino's record as governor
condemn rather than commend
his candidacy, it would seem
wise for the Messenger to say
that Mr.. LOngino is good citi-
zen, and a moral Christian gen
tleman and stop at that. Any at
tempt to transmute these general
good qualities into any kind of
business or financial ability by
the mere alchemy of statement is
presumption on human credulity
and won't gO-that's a fact. All
such faulty processes are quickly
detected and as promptly re-
jected by the people. They lack
the cohesive force of candor and
just won't transmute into the pure
gold of fact-that explains what
we mean.

sue of May 18th that Four Hun
