MEXICO CITY, July 30.-Peaceful
settlement of the dispute between
President De La Huerta and Governor
Cantu of Lower California was fore
cast today as negotiations continued.
Cantu is expected to yield and agree
to give up the governorship, officials
said. He is understood to be willing
to do this provided the office is hand
ed over to another Lower Californian.
Francisco Villa, enroute to Torreon
to complete his surrender, has wired
De La Huerta asking permission to
establish an agricultural colony at
Nieves. He said he wished to pro-
mote education and literacy in Mexi-
CO, at his own expense. The request
probably will be granted.

Weather Conditions

Low pressure central over the lakes
and in the southwest, connected by a
trough extending northeastward across
the Mississippi valley has caused
widely scattered local showers m
North Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, lake
region and on the west gulf coast;
elsewhere the weather has been gener-
ally fair.
Temperatures have fallen somewhat
in the northern mountains and north
ern plains states, due to the presence
of an area of high pressure now over
the Dakotas and northern Minnesota.
Indications are for fair weather to-
night and Sunday in this vicinity and
cooler tonight.

BRIGHTER DAYS ARE COMING

New York, Aug. 17.-There was
break of $5 to SIS bale in the
cotton market today. The causes
were increased nervousness over
European coditions, reports Of
lower spot offerings in the South
and a continued absence Of trade
demands.
Rumors that European import
ers had temporarily withdrawn
buying orders were not confirmed
but had an unsettled influence ON
the decline, which carried Oct.
contracts off 1912, or 122 points
below closing quotations. Of Sat.
The break in cotton extended to
1865 cents pound for October,
or 129 points below Saturday 3
closing prices, and the market
closed at lowest levels for the day
with the active months Of Aug
ust and September showing nom
inal losses Of 200 points.

For the information Of those
who do not already know, we
wish to state that The Common
wealth since casting its lot among
the daily papers Of the state, has
made progress along all lines, not
withstanding the fact that it has
had it's share Of knocks, bumps,
ETC., and the people who started
in to knocking The Common
wealth, are now it's staunchesr
supporters. We have tried at all
times to give the people the best
paper that was possible, and con-
sidering the drawbacks we ha1 Z
had, we consider that we have
succeeded. Now dear reader, we
don't expect you to get up and
have "coniptious fit" when we
make this statement. But there
is really one fact worth consider
ing, and that is did you ever stop
to think that Scotland Neck Is
the only town Of its size in the
State Of North Carolina that has
daily paper. If you have not
Just take this matter into cOnsid-
Grafton. Of course we have our
shortcomings, and we dare say
that it will be a hard matter to
find one Perfect human being m
the country.
Now dear reader, don't you
think that it is your duty to sup
port the hustling Commonwealth :
If you do please let us have your
subscription, and don't let us
have to run you down for your
past subscription. And right
here we wish to thank the many
Ireaders and subscribers for theil
promptness in settling their ac-
counts, as it takes money to run
a newspaper-more than lots OF
people can imagine, and while we
are not begging for anything we
certainly would appreciate it ii
those who are in arrears in the11
subscri ption would come forward
and pay up. We want to install
some more up-to-date machinery

COZ. COX A PROGRESS
I'VE IS SHOWN BY ACTS
His Record Justfies Con-
fidence of the Country
Say. Sen. Owen
FOR THE PEOPLE

Washington, Aug. 17.-Follow-
ing a conference with Chairman
George H. White, of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, at
Washington, Senator Robert L.
Owen Of Oklahoma, one Of the
candidates for the presidential
nomination before the San Fran
cisco convention, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"The best evidence the public
could possibly ask with regard TO
the progressive character of the
pending campaign are the pro-
gressive acts which characterize
the past services Of Governor Cox.
He is not new convert.
|The test of modern progress
sive Democracy might be called
the initiative and referendum, for
which Gov. Cox fought when Ohio
adopted it's modern progressive
constitution in 1912. Governor
Cox fought for the initiative and
referendum, and Western Demo-
Gratis know what this means. 1t
is the dividing line between those
who are for the people and those
who are for the special interests,
because with the initiative and
referendum the people can gov
ern themselves and can get as
good government as their intel
ligence justifies. The difference
between Governor Cox and Sena-
tor Harding is the difference be-
tween day and night.
Il shall do my utmost to assist
Governor Cox and the Democracy
in this pending campaign, feeling
that this is the very best way in
which to serve the American peo-
pie.
| "The overwhelming body Of
Democrats are progressive and
; the Democracy is entitled, because
' Of that fact, to public confidence.
Men must be judged by their acts,
and the record Of the Democracy
and Governor Cox's personal rec
ord justify the confidence Of the
country"

STRADDLING TACTICS

Washington, Aug. 17-After 4
thorough analysis Of Senator Har-
ding's record in the United States
Senate, the New York World
characterizes the Republican noln-
inee as dependable standpar-
ter" who followed Penrose,
Lodge and Wall streets defend
ers." He "upheld the armor-plare
factories which Secretary Daniels
charged were conspiring to rob
the Government and championed
the wizards Of iron and steel as
national benefactors. The Senator
spoke against prohibition but
voted for it and criticized woman
suffrage but was recorded in favor
Of the proposed amendment, con-
cludes the headlines.
The Worlds story reflects the
Senator "straddling" tactics,
and the following introduction to
the World article, summarizing
his record, shows his complete
subserviency to Lodge, Penrosc
and the cold Guard interests:
"Senator Warren G. Harding
cannot draw on his record in the
Senate for much to inspire enthu-
siasm in his candidacy. There are
no brilliant spots in his service
there He followed the lead of the
shining lights Of the Old Guard,
dominated by Senators Boise Pen
rose Of Pennsylvania, Henry Cab

Reed Smoot Of Utah.
"No bit Of legislation bears Mr..
Harding's s name No striking
speech marked him for remem-
brance. For nearly six years ne
has been a plodder among plod-
ders. At times he made attacks on
the President or members Of the
Cabinet; apparently to his mind
no good could come out Of the
