 Tn 1857 you gave me authority to draw on you for any sum not exceeding $500. I see clearly that such a privilege would be more available now than it was then.

FRIENDLY POLICY
 WILL BE PURSUED
New Mexican Ambassador States on Arrival at Washington

San Antonio, Texas, Feb, 12.- Mexico will pursue the same broad. friendly policies that have been in effect during the five years that he has been in charge of Mexican at- fairs in Washington, Manuel (. Telles, recently appointed ambassa- dor 10 the United States, said on his arrival here, en route 10 his diplo- matc post in the national capitol.
 "The two nations have no deep, serious problems between them that is all past" Tellez said. "We believe that we understand each other perfectly and I am certain We will continue 10 cooperate in the greatest spirit of friendliness.'
 "In the future, as in the past. 1t shall be my policy 10 meet all prob lcms that may confront the two countries fairly and squarely and attempt 10 settle them as between man and man. he said. My idea of diplomacy is not to try to get the best of the other fellow, but to extend an effort to adjust all differ cnces 10 the entire satisfaction of the nations concerned. If 1t meant anything else. l would not be a dip lomat.'
 Acting on requests for the return Of criminals from one country to the other is very irksome work, Tellez said. "However, the extradi- tion treaty between the two coun- tries is in full effect and there should be no trouble there" he said.
 "Fortunately, our country is wet, and unfortunately, your country is dry, and we are continually worried by activities of smugglers. but this we hope to alleviate in time. Mexico is ready now and she has been al- ways. to stop these activities where at all possible"
 Tellez said Gales administration Is meeting with much success and that there are evidences on every hand Of lasting peace and returning prosperity.

51 REPUBLICANS WROTE
 NOMINATING ADDRESS
And Made Poor Job of 1t, Survivor of Lincoln Convention
 Declares.

By The Associated Press.
 Chicago, Feb. 12.-Fifty- TO- pubicans wrote the speech that nominated Abraham Lincoln, and they made poor job of it, ill the opinion of Addison G. Proctor, sole surviving delegate to the Chicago re- publican national convention at which Lincoln was chosen as the party's presidential candidate.
 MT. Proctor, now In his S5th year. is here on lecture tour.
 His home is in St. Joseph, Michi- gan.
 The nominating speech for Lincoln was entrusted by the delegation to Norman F. Judd, Chicago lawyer, Mir. Proctor said.
 We all looked with particular in- terest to that nominating speech, as MT. Lincoln's position before the convention differed from that of all other candidates" Mir. Proctor said.
 "The other candidates had their public records to recommend them, but Lincoln had none. So we were anxious to hear what Judd would say in nominating him.
 Tn some respects the nominating speech of Mir. Judd was disapopint- ing. It seemed to lack cohesion and force"
 Later, Mir. Proctor said he learned why. The whole affair of Lincoln's nomination was put in the hands of a committee of 50, and when 1t came to writing the speech, the committee put it in Judd's hands. "Thoy knew he was a smart law yer" lIr. Proctor said, "still they were not very enthusiastic over Judd's having the whole thing. So they arranged that he was to write it and then submit it to each one of the fifty to take out or add what they thought was necessary.
 By the time they got through with it there was not much left of Judd's speech. The speech that the delegates to the Chicago convention heard had been written by 51 men,"

 Tt may be-" Secretry Work said in his address, that providence prompted the founding of Lincoln ''ANiiOi loi ulll NI olNS lOl tllOsc Ol lIlt same ancestry which produced Lin- coin and that from among them may later come men who can rule the nation"
 Of all the memorials erected to Lincoln by his countrymen. former Governor Lowden told the gathering, the Memorial university seems to be the best and most significant of all" for there are millions of young men and women of ancestry and history like his own to whom this great in stitution gives hope"
 Judge Gary. in an address, stress ed Lincon's ingrained honesty as perhaps the dominant quality of his character, It was that above all else, he said, which placed Lincoln So firmly in the confidence and af- lection of the people"
