Mexico City, Sept. IA. - President
elect Alvardo Obregon of Mexico, in
his first interview since his election,
today declared national finances will
be his big problem.
Obregon SAID he hoped to reach an
agreement with American and other
foreign bankers whereby Mexico could
show her good faith by beginning pay

The president-elect entered Mexico

southern Mexico. He was in good
spirits, laughing over rumors that his
life might be endangered. He ex-
pressed satisfaction over the tempo

Mexico must adjust her finances SO
as to discontinue spending what does

than words. 1t would be impossible
for Mexico to discharge all her obli-
cations imm mediately, but she can show
her good faith.
Il may depart in minor details from
General Huerta's administra ton,
Obregon said. But his work in the
main will serve as the basis for my
own. The Huerta government was
well handled, considering that it COW
cred a period of transition. The funda-
mental problem, was pacification and
that has been accomplished.
Obregon said he hoped more Ameri.
cans would visit Mexico, interestine
themselves in her industry and com,

labor situation would reach norma
shortly. He had little fear, he said
\ that the labor situation would bt

There are matters affecting tn

Farmers Cannot Market
Enough 1920 Wheat to Pay
Interest On Their Notes
Hardest Hard Luck Story of Harvest Comes Governor
Allen from Rocks County, Today

Rocks county farmers and bankers
today sent Governor Allen the hard
est hard luck story heard from Kan
sas wheat fields. Wheat growers in
the Stockton district have not been
able to market enough wheat to pay
interest on their notes.
There are hundreds Of thousands of
bushels of wheat in the hands of
Rocks county farmers But the rail-
roads have failed to deliver cars and
heavy roads have prevented move
ment of grain by trucks In conse-
quence the big harvest has remained
IN the fields or in the granaries and
elevators.
Governor Allen today received a
lengthy petition from Rocks county
citizens who want relief. One OF their
complaints is to the effect that wheat
sold since the harvest started has not
produced enough revenue to pay in

Augusta, Maine. Sept. 1.-THE Re-
publican plurality in yesterdays state
election probably will be $4,000, it
was estimated today. Officials await
ing returns from more than 40 towns
and villages believe it would be sew
era1 days before the final vote is
known.
Almost complete returns from the
states 20 cities gave the Republicans
plurality of 1929 as against As in
county in the state yesterday. In the
last presidential year election, the
party lost two counties.
1t was estimated that the vote for
Frederick H. Parkhurst, Republican
goVernor-elect will reach $4,000 and
the vote for Bertrand G. Mcintyre,
10000.
The total vote will be more than
$4,000 greater than any previous vote
xn that state
Latest returns show that the Repub-
lican plurality will be nearly 10000.
In 1896. the first Bryan year, the Re
publican plurality in Maine was $4,000.
Two years ago Portland gave McIn-
tyre a majority of 1000 for governor.
Yesterday the Republican majority in
that city was approximately $500.
Bangor, which went Democratic by
1900 in 1918, was Republican by al
most as much in the voting yesterday.
The Republicans swept the entire
state, hardly a Democrat getting in.
The G. o. P. congressman. three of
whom were seeking reelection, were
elected by big majoriIies.
In the congressional fight. Con-
gressman Wallace H. White, Jr., was
elected by a majority of more than
5000. Congressman John A. Peters
and Ira G. Hersey were easy winners
in the Third and Fourth districts,
while Carroll Beedy won over Frank
H Haskell by a majority of nearly
10000.
The legislature is almost wholly Re
turns. Indications were that the state
senate will be composed entirely of
AItho the G. o. P. victory in the
rural districts was great, it was sur
passed in the cities and towns.
1t was estimated today at least
$4,000 women voted yesterday for the
first time Approximately 10000
women and 10000 men registered
this year.
| In 1915, Hughes led Wilson by only

for governor in the same year was

terest on the notes in local banks
Now the banks are loaded up with
paper-all perfectly good-but the
farmers can neither pay their debts
nor raise enough money to meet the
interest.
If the grain could be moved the
farmers would pay their notes and
buy new motor cars and send the
children to college. But grain with
out market facilities means nothing.
and the banks must struggle along
with their loans and the farmers must
wait until there are cars for wheat
shipments Thousands of bushels of
the grain may not be moved this win
ter. In consequence a large amount
OF the 1920 crop may be in their
hands next March when they will be
compelled to pay taxes on the grain
after having paid interest on their
loans at the banks.

With the sun shining brightly
several fast races at the Kansas Free
Fair started early this afternoon. The
bell sending the horses to the post in
the first event rang before o'clock.
The track. which was very heavy
Derby day, was in much better condi-
ton today. the result of sunshine and
intensive rolling and narrowing.
The 2:14 trot for the Merchants
stake of $1,000 was the feature event
of today. Six horses, Veetian Bud,
Forest Blossom. Willie Chimes, Maud
Grafton, Capt. Dale and The Triumph,
are entered. The deciding heats in
Mondays $1,000 2;2O trot also were to
be run.
A 2:25 pace, with a purse of $500,
and three running races, the delight of
turf followers, are on the program for
today. The running races follow
Four and one-half furlongs, purse
500; five furlongs, purse 500, and
seven furlongs, purse 800.
1t was shown Monday afternoon the

Kansas Derby was on. The recent

that it was almost impossible to tell
until just before calling the horses to
the post whether the races could be
run or would have to be called off en-
tirely. The track was dragged con-
tinually all thru the afternoon by
trucks with trailers attached and this
alone made racing possible under the
unpleasant conditions.
