BRYAN SAYS WILSON
is CAUSE OF DISASTER
TO DEMOCRATIC PARTY

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov 4.-Demo-
cratic disaster was inevitable because
of the position of President Wilson on
the League of Nations, declared Will
liam Jennings Bryan in an election
statement issued here late today. He
said:
The President erected the founda-
tions for the disaster and Governor
James NJ. Cox completed the structure
The President tried to drive out Of
public life every Democrat who dared
to differ from him, even in minute de-
tails, while he made no effort to
strengthen the Democrats who made
him the keeper OF their consciences. >"
Bryan asserted that the people were
compelled to choose between presi-
dental infallibility and respect of the
opinion OF the majority of the Senate"
Now that our participation will rest
upon the will of Congress and not on
the arbitrary opinion of single man."
he continued, we may expect that
universal disarmament will be made
one Of the conditions upon which we
attempt to advise
The country will expect Mr.. Hard
ing to carry out his pledge to advance
the cause of world peace and there is
no reason to doubt that he will do

Ocoee by the riot. which was the out
growth of the election said they be-
lievod the death toll would exceed
eight. They said they were sure the
bodies of several negroes would be
found in the ruins of % houses de-
stroyed by fire,
The battle between white citizens
and negroes followed an attempt on
the. part of a negro, to vote. He was
denied the privilege by election Of

paid his poll tax.

u. S. Dollar Sets Record
In Chilean Exchange Mart

SANTIAGO, Chill, Nov. 4.-The T..
S. dollar was quoted today at seven
resos, the highest price since early III
1915. The price has climbed from
about five pesos during the last four
months.
Chilean exchange is now 10 3-13
pence per pesos. There has been a
gradual decline OF approximately two
pence in the last three months.
Heavy fiscal expenses, depreciation in
the value of raw material for exports
and the increase in values OF imports
are said to be among the causes con
tributing to the decline. The weal;-
ness of the sterling exchange on
New York, also is said to be factor
since Chilean exchange is quoted on
the terms of British currency

MEXICO SEES HOPE
OF RECOGNITION IN
REPUBLICAN VICTORY

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 4.-Reports OF
the election in the United States were
given the entire front pages of news
papers of this city. Only two journals.
however. the Excelsior and Ell Hiraldo
de Mexico, ventured to speculate ed
itorially on what a Republican victory
in the United States means for this
country.
The former sees immediate recog-
milton as one result of the election,
and the other asserts Senator Hard
ing's election will not be an obstacle
to good relations between Mexico and
the United States.
The Excelsior, which sees in the
election personal rebuke" for Presi-
dent Wilson, asserts he now "can
scarcely be expected to refrain from
recognizing Mexico as revenge
against the Republican senatorial ma
jority. which in the past has assumed
an uncordial, and even hostile attitude
toward this country"
"Harding Not Fire-Eater."
Ell Heraldo rejoices that Senator
Harding is not "fire-eater of the
Senator Fall class" but asserts his
statements regarding Mexico seem to
be vague and we are confused at judg-
ing his true mental attitude toward
us. His election puzzles us, although
we have faith in his ability
Extensive interviews with high Mex
lean officials are carried by today's
newspapers, various hopes being ex.
pressed that the new administrations
of Mexico and the United States may
find a common ground for mutual
understanding

JAP TREATY IS NOT
AFFECTED BY RESULT
(By Associated PreSs)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. A. -
Adoption by the California electorate
yesterday of the referendum measure
restricting the right of aliens to lease
or hold real property in that state will
not effect, it was learned today, the
continuance of negotiations here be-
tween the Japanese ambassador and
the state department as to the status
of Japanese in California and the gen.
eral subject of Japanese immigration.
The heavy majority in favor of the
restricting measure, it was said, had
been fully discounted in advance and
negotiations have made such progress
that should a treaty result it may
reach the senate during the winter
session.
Discussions Are Delayed.
The temporary absence from Wash
ington of Ambassador Morris, who has
been conducting for the state depart
ment the discussions with Ambassa-
dor Shidehara, it was said, had only
partially delayed negotiations. They
will be resumed fully on the return
of Mr.. Norris this week.
The Japanese ambassador conferred
today with Secretary Colby, but no
statement as to the purpose of his
visit was given out.
The discussion between the two am
bassadors is understood to have pro-
gressed so 1t will be possible soon for
the plan which they have in mind
to be reduced to form for presentation
to Secretary Colby and next to P-esi
dent Wilson on the one hand. and to
the foreign office in Toxic on the
other.
Not Party Issue.
All proceedings thus far between the
conferees have been subject to such
reference and to amendment, approval
or complete rejection.
Officials here were inclined to view
the majority in California for the anti
alien measure as tending against it's
being regarded as party issue in the
senate. In that case, it was suggest
ed, the senate might be inclined to re-
lieve the incoming administration of
the necessity Of inaugurating new con-
versations after March and to ratify
the treaty as proposed by the retiring
administration, if the settlement out
lined wal, acceptable in principle.

DEMOCRATS TRAILING
OPPONENTS IN WEST;
FIGHT FOR CONGRESS

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 4.-With in
Creasing pluralities coming in for botn
state and national tickets, interest in
the Minnesota election turned early
today to the outcome of the congress
sional races in the seventh and eighth
districts. In the seventh, Represent
ative A. J. Volstead. Republican, had a
slight lead over Rev. 0. J. kale, inde-
pendent, indorsed by the non-partisan

hundred ahead of Carss, Democratic
incumbent in the eighth. The eight
other districts elected Republicans.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 4.-With
more than three-fourths of all pre-
cincts tabulated, Ralph H. Cameron,
Republican, apparently has defeated
U. S. Senator Marcus A. Smith for re-
election. Cameron holds a lead OF
6,003 votes, the returns including
figures from every county in the state,
except Apache.
Carl Hayden, Democrat, apparently
has been returned to Congress. Gov
ernor Campbell, Republican, holds a
lead of $500 votes for reelection.
Democratic headquarters, however, re-
fuse to concede the election. Cameron
was AriZona's last territorial delegate
to Congress and was largely instru-
mental, his adherents claimed, in Sc
curing statehood for Arizona.

al court here November s. Mr. Palmer

ney general that the case of the coal
miners and operators would be called
on the date set, although to date, only
the Indiana operators and miners and
those of western Pennsylvania, who
voluntarily surrendered, are in the
jurisdiction of the Indiana district
court.
No indication as to the scope or
nature of the investigation to be made
was given in the telegram, but it was
believed Dan w. Simms, special as
sistant counsel for the government,

legged proposal in regard to the evil
dence in the case, said to have been
made by Mr.. Palmer and which result
the case.

Tartment of justice agents would also

sult of the resignation on Oct. 4, of

indicted by special grand jury con-
vened by Judge Anderson Dec. II,
1919. for the purpose of making an in
vestigation of the conduct of the min
er's strike in the bituminous fields last
November and of any possible collus-
ion of the miners and operators in
connection with the strike.

nation was that Attorney General Pal
mer had imposed limitations on the
conduct of the case that literally
cut the heart out of the case"
