COx'S STAND
.PLEASES WILSON
Democrats Satisfied With His
Acceptance Speech.
GENERAL TONE APPROVED
Presidential Candidate Makes League
of Nations the Paramount Issue of
ed Up.

Washington, Aug 9. - Democrats
still in the capital got a lot of salts
faction out of reading Governor Cox's
speech of acceptance, but there was
one student of the text who probably
enjoyed it more than any other. He
was President Wilson.
What struck the capital most fore
IDLY was Governor Cox's unreserved
acceptance of the league of nations
as the foremost issue of the cam
paign. What left administration
Democrats guessing was the obvious
absence of anything in the speech to
justify the statement made several
days ago by Chairman George White,
Of the Democratic national committee,
that Governor Cox would make pro
gressivism" and not the league of ma
tons the chief issue of his presiden-
tial fight There was tremendous sat
isfactiOn among the administrations
friends over the governors handling
Of the league and ''manhandling' of
the senatorial oligarchy" Next to
that they liked the punch" in every
thing he said.
Governor Cox's assertion that the
first duty of the new administration
will be the ratification of the treaty
and his unequivocal statement that as
the Democratic candidate he favors
going into the league head over heels.
Article X and all was taken as the
cue of his campaign and the measure
of his sincerity on this subject Folks
here frankly liked it.

With Governor Cox and his run
ming mate, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
marching at the head of the parade,
thousands of Democracys leaders and
followers gathered at the Fair

late outline his campaign.
This he based on securing peace by
stanch adherence to the league of ma
ions with interpretations retaining
It's fundamental principles and not by

roe Doctrine the VERY essence" of
Article X. Declares United States

Prohibition-Makes no specific men

law sis an enemy to both the constitu-
ton and the American principle OF
majority rule"
Soldier Bonus-Pledges party to re-

COSTLY TO Mexico
To Pay S2,OOO,OOO in Gold
For His Surrender.
FOLLOWERS PRGVI.:ED FOR

Bandit Leader to Get Huge Estate
in Durango and Life Guard of Fifty
Men.
San Pedro, Coahuila, Mexico, Aug
9.-Under the terms of his ''uncOndi-
tional'' surrender Francisco Villa,
Mexican bandit leader, will get huge
estate at CanutiIla, Durango, where
he will be guarded for the remainder
of his life by 80 of his trusted fol-
lowers, who will be paid by the gov
eminent, it was learned here.
Villas surrender will cost the Mex
lean government 100000 gold, ac-
cOrding TO estimates.
Villa, with 900 officers and men, is
en- route over the desert to San Pedro
from Cuatro CienegaS for final ar
engagements for his surrender and dis
arming of his forces. He will reach
here today and then march to Co
mez Palacio, where his men will he
disarmed and receive Il years pay
prior to being given farms, where the
men themselves designate, throughout
Mexico Part of them will be in the
northern tier of states.
Villa has spies in every Mexican
town and hamlet, and these also are
en- route to Gomez Palacio to share
in the surrender terms.
The personal guard of fifty men
Villa will select, it is presumed, form
among his most trusted offifficers, thus
keeping a nucleus for another revO-
lutionary army if he becomes dissat-
isfied
The guard will be paid according
to the rank the various officers held
under Villa, and cannot be displaced,
according to the official agreement
General Eugenio Martinez made pub
lie here.
According to the agreement signed
July g. Villa gave his word of hon
or" never to fight against the constl-
tutional government or against Next
CO, and Martinez gave his word of
honor that the conditions agreed on
would be strictly complied with.
The agreement creates in Mexico
a situation parallellng tnat resulting
in the United States from the Indian
settlements.
Villa in surrendering is as indepen-
dent as ever. Federal government
agents for days following his assent
ing to the surrender agreement were
unadvised as to his whereabouts. That
gave rise to many rumors the sur
render had not occurred and that
Villa had tricked the government.
A commission of Lower Californi-
ans submitted to Provisional Presi-
dent De La Huerta a list of names
from which he is requested to select
| governor of their state to replace
Esteban Cantu Those suggested were
Carlos Bernstein, David Zarate, Ri
cardo Romero and Epigemnio Ibarra.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Paper suits,
