you to accept it" Thus wrote Woodrow Wilson to
one Higdon, respecting Mr.. Higdon's entry into the
Missouri Democratic primaries as a candidate against

This single sentence from the letter of Woodrow
Wilson constitutes the all-absorbing, dominating issue
within the ranks of the Democratic party. Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Cox, Mr.. McAdoo and other more or less deserv-

Asks Contents Of
Decree Withheld

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 20.-(By
The Associated Press.l-Secretary
OF the Treasury De La Huerta last
night requested newspaper CORE
spondents to postpone publication
OF the outline OF a decree, given out
earlier in the day. embodying the
basis upon which the Mexican gov.
eminent and the American oil COM
panies have reached an agreement
relative to the payment Of export
taxes. His request followed re-
ceipt OF Geographic Information
from New York, the nature OF which
he did not disclose. The terms Of
the decree were published through
out the United States last night,
the secretary's request being re-
ceived after the publication time OF
tho morning newspapers.
Samuel 'Deache, secretary TO
Gomez Marin, Mexican financial
agent in New York, left New York
for this city yesterday, and It is
possible his trip has some Connec-
ton with the request that the de-
cree be held in allegiance. The do.
cree lacks only the signature OF
President obregon to become effec.
tive.
Secretary De La Huerta's deci.
sion was sudden, as he had person.
ally given copies OF the document
TO the neTspapermen, and the Mex.
leo City representatives OF the
American oil companies had been
furnished copies.
It is not believed here that the
request for determent Of publica.
ton portends a serious turn in the
negotiations with either the oil men
or the bankers. but that he wishes
every possible phase OF the arrange.
ment to Be agreed upon and UNDER
stood thoroughly before the formal
decree Is given out.
