The choice of a Republican admins tration by the voters of the United States means the coming of an era of friendly cooperation and good will on the part of this country toward Mex ico, not intervention and misunder- standing. is the direct message which Senator Warren G. Harding. the Re publican nominee for president, au- thorized pr. A. l. Gustetter of Nogales to bring back with him to the citizens of the border states.
 The massaEe was entrusted to sDr. Gustetter at a meeting which he had with the coming president in Marion on Tuesday, October 12. It was made in response to an urgent plea that Mexico is the door of opportunity to the commercial interests of the United States but that every effort was being made by Democratic papers and speak CTS to convince the 100000 naturalized Mexican citizens of the United States that Republican success meant war in Mexico.
 Senator Harding was advised of the great interest which Mexico feels in his purpose and that it is the desire of the west coast. as expressly authorized to be stated to the senator by Gov ernor Borquez of Sonora. that Mexico be given the sympathy and support of the United States so that reciprocal neighborly relations socially and in a business way might be resumed with mutual benefit
 The Republican nominee was quick to respond 10 the invitation to express his interest in the development and peace of the sister republic to tho south. He declared his very grea sympathy for the country in her effor to rebuild and gave the positive as surance that if elected his administra. tion could be counted upon to dc everything possible to aid in the prog ress of Mexico.
 Appreciates Obregon
 The senator remarked that he had high appreciation of the statesmanshil of President elect Obregon and of hi purpose to lead Mexico forward indus trially and economically.
 In the course of his remarks, h. promised pr. Gustetter that he woul, make it plain during his trip througl Tennessee and Kentucky, which h. was then about to start, that Repub lican success means a policy of frater nal helpfulness in Mexican affairs. no intermeddling and irritation.
 Senator Harding remembered hi promise, for in several speeches in tn few days following he referred to tn situation as regards Mexico exactl along the line of the assurance whic be authorized to be given to the borde states. as for instance at Somerse

Where Do We Go From Herea

We have just received from the so-caled Ma tional Non Partisan Political Campaign Committee of the American Federation of Labor a copy of an article by sampel Gompers be printed in the No vember issue of the American Federationist urging members of the federation and voters generally to support Governor Cox the ground that he is the angel of progress to Senator Harding, the devil of reaction
 We cannot follow the paper of Mir Gompers along all intricacies but by his reference to what he regards the slogan of Senator Harding uttered in his speech of acceptance. Back to Nor malcy" which the labor leader declares to be the slogan of reaction.
 It appears to us that in present situation the first thing we need 70 do is get bearings. to ascertain precisely where and if we are not where ought to be, then can intelligently set out toward a we'll defined we'll considered des- tination. If we are already on the right road then it is plain duty to go ahead and not backward. But in the wrong road further progress will only involve greater disaster. The only thing then for us to is to go back along the trail until we come the point which diverged from the right road Then may make real progress.
 Does MT. Gompers think just now where we ought to beg Are we the right road which we should pursue? And if not, is 1t his notion that should strike out blindls the right the left. cutting for trar' the uncertain hope that find the right road?
 If MT. Gompers believes any of these absurd things we do not think the average of good sense believes them. We sure that things not as they ought to be; they good they were; that whatever position might have been, four six or ten years ago and whatever need of change may been at any of those periods, our position is worse That plainly shows that we have been the wrong road and have already travelled it far. A great majority of the Ameri- can people enough to go further along it.
 The people favor progress and they do not favor reaction they demand that the progress shall be intenigently made and all of will cheerfully dure reaction when it the going back wrong trail which has brought to the brink of a precipice impossible morass.
 It has been a curse of the United States for the last twenty-five years the afflicton by theorists. idealists, visionaries doctrinares half baked. loud mouthed wild-eyed. clamoring for progress, ignorant of their whereabouts; paraphrasing Dante:
 'In this the midway of their political life
 They found them in gloomy road, astray,

 We now want to get back to well-<nown point upon some solid foundation, take and get our bearings. Then set forward with as surance that we are not rushing along in blind alley.
 We do not want to follow the direction of these excitable and excited persons some of whom are pointing to this landmark. some. to that and some to still another. all widely separated. as lying on the road progress. Let rather find where we left the road. and then advance

the League of Nations elected the first
former enemy state member of the

on the admission of Austria came aft

and NJ. Viviani of France.
NJ Motta, speaking on the report of

by the peace conference.

three places vacant in the league
which ought to be filled by the United

being asked whether they were in
