Will SON DRAFTS LAST
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
UNDERSTOOD 1T WILL BE
COMPARATIVELY BRIEF.
THINKING OF HOME.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-President
Wilson. now that the Solemn referen-
dunn" on the league Of nations has
been decided overwhelmingly against
him. has settled stoically down to pre-
pare his last message to congress, and
TO set the white house in order for
Warren G.. Harding, who will became
the twenty-ninth president on March
4th
Fears OF many of Mr.. Wilson's
friends that the election result would
seriously affect his health were un-
warranted, according to those who
have seen him daily. They say that
the president has improved little in
the last few days. Although bitterly
disappointed they say that he has man
Tested no evidence OF collapse, and
has uttered no word of bitterness.
Cousin at White House.
John w. Wilson, of Pennsylvania, a
cousin Of the president, spent two
DAYS at the white house following the
election. He said the president accept
ed defeat philosophically and gave ev-
idence of relief now that the strain OF
the referendum was over.
, There is much speculation as to the
character Of the message. 1t is I'M
derstood that it will be comparatively
short, and will touch domestic ques-
tons. Necessarily there will be in
cluded in it matters relating to war
but whether the pres
ident will refer to the election is not
known.
With the message out of the way
there will remain little for the presi-
dent to do except to meet executive
affairs as they present themselves, SUI
pervise the routine OF his Office, and
prepare it for his successor.
The president is giving considerable
thought to his future home. He and
Mrs. Wilson, it is said, have reach
ed no final decision, further than that
their home after March 4 will be in
Washington or environs.
The president, his friends say, will
write a history of the world war, and
has been devoting some time to prep
aration for this task.

CAN NOW HEAR ONLY
WHAT WILD WAVES SAY
PRESIDENT-ELEC ISOLATED
FROM ALL POLITICS IN MAG
&c VALLEY OF RIO GRANDE.

POINT ISABEL, Texas.-Invad-
ing the somnolence of the fish
ing hamlet of Point Isabel, Senator
Harding and his party found them
selves this afternoon at the southern
most tip of the United States.
In place of the applause of the
crowds he heard the dull rhythmic roar
of the surf on nearby islands that front
the Gulf OF Mexico. A desert road
across Jackass prairie, where hun
dreds of wild donkeys browsed, separ-
ated him from Office seekers and all
troublesome questioners,
Amy office seeker that gets here
deserves to land something observed
Col. Bill Starett, veteran Texas news
paper man, as he looked out from the
new Harding porch across the desc
late beaches and gray waters.
The senator reached this resttul $50
lation only after running barrage OF
Texas crowds. After making a dozen
speeches Sunday on his tour across
the state, the last one at | O'Clock IN
the morning, he was aroused at I:5O
Monday morning by crowds and a
band at Atkinsville. He began speak
ing again and kept it up until arrival
at BrOWnV1lle at noon.
Here he spoke from the rear plat
form to a great crowd, telling them
he had come to see them because he
likes Texas and that he wanted to be
their partners for the next four years. |
He learned that Brownville had voted |
for him by a majority OF 90
At Point Isabel he was still further |
impressed by the story that o. OF the |
65 votes i'll the place were cast tor |
him.
Flowers and fruits awaited him ev-
erywhere as he entered the magic |
valley" Of the lower Rio Grande. He |
saw the wonders of irrigation in the |
desert and travelled into the land OF |
palms, oranges and cotton.
His only message to the people OF
Texas was this: Il want you to know
that | want a country where there is
no difference OF feeling. | want one
common country, with one flag. When
the polls closed we all became citizens
alike, interested i'll the welfare OF
America"
Spoke Arrnistice Day.
Great preparations were made for
the armisticc day celebration in
Brownville Thursday, when Senator
Harding spoke.
G. r. Wilson, American consul at
Matamoras and G. N. Vasquez, MeXi-
can consul at Brownville, met the par
ty and arranged passports to Mexico.
All regulations have been lifted for
the party. Hunts, Dances dinners on
both sides Of the line have been plann-
ed, and although no meeting between
Harding and members Of the Mexican
government is expected his visit is
given as basis for the building OF
better relations.
At Point Isabel the senator was met
by all the population, dressed in their
best, carrying o1eander blossoms.

The reproduction in "rhe

is genuine in every detail. Mr..
Won Stroheim has spent good

much of the local color of the

ment has been approved and
passed by two sessions of the
General Assembly and will go
to vote OF the people on No.

reads: "No dobt shall be con-

1t will be seen that the

Elaborate plans are being
worked out by the American
Legion posts in Virginia for the
celebration of the second ami.
yersary of the signing Of the
armistice, reports to headuuar-
tors of the Virginia department
IN Richmond indicating that
practically every post in the
state will conduct appropriate
exercises. In almost every in
stance there will be a parade,
public meeting and prescnta-
tion Of Victory medals to cx-
service men, with varions other
organizations cooperating with
the legion 10 make the occasion
4 success.
Bulletins have been sent out
by department headquarters to
the local posts, urging that a pa.
rade of eN-seryice men be one of
the features OF the celebration.
Such a demonstration, headuuar-
tiers asserted, will show the PEG
plc of each community the
strength and solidity OF Inc lc.

good for the future OF the organ
llation than any other feature.
Local posts were urged to take

braiion Of Armistice DAY, ST.
curing cooperation of the auXil-
inrics, the National Guard where
possible, and all other dcsira-

declared that there is no orguni-
lotion more capable of arrang-
mg such q celebration ethan the
men and women WHO had so
much to do with the bringing
about Of Armistice Day.
Since it will be virtually i'm
possible to make actual pre-
sentation Of Victory medals to
each individual, it is probable
that the majority of posts will
have a general presentation
with one medal to the commnn-
Ter of the posts. individuals
will receive their medals later
by mail.
In Norfolk one feature of the
celebration will be the presenta-
