GOV. COX'S REPRESENTATIVE
TO APPEAR BEFORE SENATE
COMMITTEE.

Chicago, Sept bringing evil

charges against the republican party,
e. S. Moore, Cox's personal repre-
sentative, arrived here today to tes-
tify before the senate campaign fund
investigating committee. He bore a
mandate from Cox to carry the fight
to the enemies" He indicated on his
arrival that Cox believed the senate
committee is not going after evidence
as vigorously as it might. A large
part of the. evidence Moore brought
was documentary.
Senator Pomerene, who conferred
with Cox at Columbus yesterday con-
corning inquiry returned today. Sen
ator Poindexter, chairman of the re-
publican senatorial committee, said
today he appointed a subcommittee
headed by Senator Frelinghuysen, of
New Jersey, to make collections.
Funds so far collected are almost
negligible, he said.

Chicago, Sept. 2S-The senate cam

can either dig up the roof of Cover
nor Cox's charges or it can leave mat
ters so that Truman Newberry will
have lot of distinguished company,
said f.. III. Moore, who arrived today
to be Governor CoX's spokesman at
the slush fund investigation, in an in
terview. He intimated that unless
the committee followed up the leads
produced, the evidence might be
turned over to the department of
justice. The committee refused to
hear Moore today and adjourned un-
til Tuesday because republican mem
bers had out of town engagements
over the week end. Moore will ap-
pear then. Moore asserted that the
republicans have two distinct money
raising organizations, one of which
works in the open and the other, he
said, was a great secret system with
regional finance directors under the
direction of Henry Blair, assistant to
Treasurer Upham.

Mexican Policy Vindicntcd

N statement given out Friday, Secretary
Colby indicates that the administration
has about made up its mind to recognize
the existing government OF Mexico. Re-
Gently the Mexican government sent Robert
V. Pesquiera to Washington as high COM
missioner, to urge It's claims for recognition,
and in the series OF discussions which have
followed, the State Department has been so
impressed with the changed condition of
affairs since the new regime came into pow
Ell that Secretary Colby, in the statement
referred TO, Gays he feels warranted in
saying that the Mexican question will soon
cease TO be a question ut all, inasmuch as
II is about to be answered, not only as it
concerns the United States. but, indeed, the
whole world as we'll"
This assurance as to improved conditions
i'll the sister republic is strongly supported
by every available source Of information
that reaches the public through various
channels. Recently General Oregon, Pres
iGent-elect of the republic, and large
number of his countrymcn prominently
identified with Mexican affairs were the
guests OF the State of Texas at the State
Fair. at Dallas, and officials and the public
generally were so impressed with the evil
dence OF their friendship and with the new
conultlonS estaDllshed across the border,
that sentiment in the State which has suf-
fered most from the lawlessness heretofore
prevailing there now openly approves recog-
milton OF the new government, believing
that under the administration OF President
Ohrcgon conditions will continue to i'm
prove. This changed attitude on the part
OF the people Of the Lone Star State un-
donbtedly is based on definite knowledge of
phenomenal Improvement In tho state of
Mexican feeling.
Thus, the policy OF "watchful waiting"
has been yindicated under a test that sorely
tried the patience OF the American people,
And the supporters Of that policy will not
be lacking in appreciation for the state
ment OF Mr.. Pesquiera. that the Mexican
people have come to "a deep and lasting
appreciation OF what Mexico owes to the
idcalism OF President Wilson, 80 nobly and
patiently exhibited in the unhappy years
turing which our oppressed millions fought
against the injustices that weighed them
down for centuries The expression of
this abiding sense Of gratitude augurs we'll
for the future Of the cordial relations now
about to be established between the two
countries. 1t denotes. Mr.. Pesquiera
says, that at is n new Mexico that faces
the world in pride and confidence"
