Mexicans Never Had a “Look
In’’ at Their Government.
Philadelphia.—Advocating the mod
ernizing of the Declaration of Inde
pendence by applying its principles
to the business, the politics and the
foreign policies of America, President
Wilson today thrilled a huge crowd
assembled in Independence Square
within a few leet of where tlie origi
nal Declaration was signed.
The president touched on Mexico,
the Panama tolls repeal controversy,
bis anti-trust, program, busin ss con
ditions and his ideas of modern pat
riotism. Pounding his fist on the
table on which the Dec.a ration of In
dependence was signed, ho declared
Americans today must manage their
affairs In a way to do honor to the
founders of the nation. There are
men In Washington today, he declar
ed, whoso patriotism Is not showy,
hut. who accomplish great patriotic
things. They are slaying in hot
Washington doing their duty, keep
ing a quorum in each house of con
gress to do business. “And I am
inlghty glad to stay there end stick
by them," he added.
Touching on business conditions of
the country, President Wilson said a
great many allegations of farts were
being made but that a great many of
those facts do not tally with each
other.
"Aro these mm trying to serve
their country or aomething smaller
than their country?'' the president
Belied “If they love America anil
there in anything wrong It 1b their
business to yui th.-lr hands to the
tuek and net It right.
Eighty-five per cent of the Mexican
people, the president said, in touch
ing oti Mexico, never have had a right
to have a “look in” on their govern
ment or how the other fifteen per
cent were running It. "I know the
American people have a heart that
bents Tor them as It beats for other
millions.'’ Mr. Wilson continued “I
bear a treat deal about the property
loss In Mexico and I regret that with
all my heart, but hark of it all Is a
Struggling people. Let us not forget
that struggle In watching what Is go
ing on In tront.''
"1 would ho ashamed of the flag if
*e did anything outside thU; country
which we would not do in It," th*
preal rent declared
Speaking on Panama tolls, tha
president tald the tioa > with Eng
iand might be a mistake but Us mean
ing cannot tie mlstakeu and he bs
lleved In lieepVilg the nation's ohllga
tolns He believed in keel ing the

Panic Threatened.
Before the president got his speech
well under way the crowd surged for
ward In auch contusion that a panic
was threatened Two companies <d
marines and sailors stood before the
speaker's stand and Mr Wilson /as
forced to stop several times but final
ly the crowd was brought under con :
trol.
On ths raturn to the station the
president was tumultuously cheered.
As the train drew out a large crowd
rlspped and cheered while the presi
dent ou the observation platform of
bis ear bowed and smiled. The pres
idents address follows In part :
“We are assembled today to cele

If they iove America and something

Experience Not Refreshing.
“I have had some experiences in
the last fourteen months which have
not been entirely refreshing. It was
universally admitted that the hanking
system of this country needed re-or
ganization. We set the best minds
we could find to the task of discover
ing the best method of re-organize
tion. We xnet hardly anything hut
resistance from the bankers of this
country, or at least from the majority
of those who said anything. And yet,
just as soon as that Act was passed,
on the very nexl day there was an
universal chorus of applause from the
bankers of the United States. Now
If it was wrong the day before it
was passed, why was it right the day
after It was passed?
"The department of state is con
stantly called upon to hack up indus
trisl enterprises of the United States
ii foreign countries; and it at one
time went so far In that direction that
all its diplomacy was designated as
'dollar diplomacy, ’ Jt was for sup
porting every man who wanted to
earn anything anywhere If he was an
American. There is no man more in

enterprises of the United States all
over the world. I was interested in

We set up this nation and we propose
to set It upon on the rights of man.
We said Independence Is not merely

"I sin willing to get anything for an
American that money can buy ex

ttiHt. the American people have a
heart that will heat just as strong for
ihfisc millions In Mexico us it will
beat for any other millions anywhere
else in the world and when they once
know what is at stake in Mexico they
v\|ill know what ought to be done la
Mexico.
Property Loss.
“You hour a groat deal about the
property lows in .Mexico and 1 deplore
it with all my heart. Upon the con
clusion of the present disturbed con
dition In Mexico undoubtedly those
who have lost properties ought to be
compi minted, but buck of it all Is the
struggle of the people and while we
think of the otio In the foreground
let us not forget the other In the
background. I would lie HHhatned of

We stand Tor the mass of men, wo
men and children, who make up the
vitality of every nation.

NEW PRESIDENT OP
NEXICO TOMORROW
STORES CLAIMS
SELFDEFEISE
Macon Lawyer Who Killed
Carpenter for Alleged Break
ing Up of His Home, Confi
dent of Acquittal.
Macon, Ga,—A. W. Stokes, lawyer,
former justice of the peace and opera
tor of a private detective agency, this
morning shot and killed V. C. Thoma
son, a carpenter, whom he alleges ruin
ed ’his home. The tragedy occurred on
a main thoroughfare in front of the
federal building. Looking up and down
she Btreet after firing the allot, Stokes,
it is alleged, saw no one in sight and
then leaned over the prostrate form of
the victim and pulled the trigger three
more times, one bullet taking effect be
low the heart, another in the hip, while
one penetrated the temple.
Stokes went directly to the sheriff’s
office, where he gave himself up. He
said that he shot in self-defense. A
coroner's jury decided that he be held
on a charge of murdef.
Imediately Stokes began preparations
for his defense. He employed two law
yeals.
According to ffltokes. his wife told
him last night that w-hile she was call
ing at Thomason's house several weeks
ago she became t:i and Thomason gave
her a tablet which caused her to be
come dazed. Thomason accompanied
her home and is alleged to have at
tacked her while they were alone in the
house. After that his visits to the
house, Stokes alleges, were frequent.
Mrs. Stokes told her husband nothing
until last night when she is said to have
unfolded the whole story of Thomason s
visits. .
Stokes also claims to have intercepted
a letter last night written by Thomason
and addressed to Mrs. Stokes. The let
ter, it is asserted, was couched in en
dearing terms. It is said to he in the
hands of Stokes’ attorneys.
This morning at 6:30 o’clock Stokes
started toward the postoffice for his
mail. Thomason was on his way to
the cemetery to do some work and car
ried a weeding hoe and a plane. "Words
were exchanged by the men when they
met. Stokes does not remember just
what was said, but claims that his life
was threatened and that lie stepped
backward, drew his pistol and shot.
"I am confident when the truth is
known no jury will convict me,” said
Stokes in his cell tonight. “I did not
want to kill the man- and acted under
great provocation. At the time of the
homicide it was either his life or mine.”
Stokes is 45 years of age. his wife IS,
and they have a baby about six weeks
old. ~ .
Thomason was 32 years old and has
lived here ten years. coming from
Twiggs county. He leaves a wife and
two little girls.

president of Mexico, and that Huerta,
resuming his former post as chief of
staff of the army, would be dispatched
to a foreign post, probably France.
It was admitted that voters in to
morrow’s election would be few, only
those residing in the district of the
City of Mexico participating. Candi
dates for the presidency, besides Las
curain, were said to be Generals Re
fugio Velascez and Garcia Pena. Who
ever might be elected was reported
ready to turn over the presidency to
a provisional government, and General
Huerta was reported willing to leave
the country—thereby saving his face.
According to word reaching Wash
ington, General Huerta is prepared to
leave and arrangements virtually have
been completed for Laseurain to be
elected. /
It is reported the principal reason
Huerta is ready to depart is that he
wishes to save his family. A vessel
is said to be waiting at Puerto Mexico
to take them on board.
What effect tomorrow’s election will
have on the mediation plan to induce
constitutionalists to meet Huerta dele
gates in conferenec over a provisional
government is not known. The in
ference is given here that Laseurain,
if elected, would agree to a provisional
government, provided constitutionalist
leaders predominated in its personnel
That would end the war in Mexico.
The success of this plan, it was said,
depended much on the outcome of the
Torreon conference between represen
tativesof Carranza and Villa over
differences in the constitutionalist
ranks. Carranza agents in Washing
ton were confident the conference
would result in an amicable adjust
ment and that the constitutionalist
forces in future would present a unit
ed front against the common enemy.
Dr. Romulo S. Naon, minister from
Argentina, and one of the mediators
in the Mexican situation, who reached
Washington Saturday, said he expect
ed to confer today with Cgrranza’s
Washington agents relative tb the pro
posed conference between constitu
tionalist agents and representatives of
General Huerta. Rafael Zubaran, Luis
Cabrera, and other constitutionalist
agents in Washington asserted last
night they expected no definite word
from General Carranza about the pro- ■
posed conference until Monday.
