MEXICANS OFFER INSULT (Continued From First Pago.) find the statement authentic and deem it important enough to warrant a pro test -o the de facto government, or a request for Mr. Cabrera's recall, the commission's work might be postponed indefinitely if not suspended altogether. It appeared certain tonight that no step would be taken until Secretary Lane, as head of the American commission, had been consulted, and it was not be lieved a request would be made for a -recall. In some quarters it was argued that Mr. Cabrera might have intended the jiublication of his statement as pre liminary to the definite abandonment of the effort to compose border diffi culties through the joint commission. The known fact that little progress has been made in many weeks of discussion was cited to support this view. ?ARI!.IXZA UTTERS CHARGES Villa Aided by Enemies of Mexico In United States, First Chief Says. MEXICO CITY, Oct. 28. That the Villieta movement in Chihuahua has been able to continue because of fa cilities given the enemies of the con stitutionalist government in the United . fat ate ww the declaration o General Carranza in a statement to the press today. General Carranza added that his gov ernment would eventually suppress the rebel movement in Chihuahua. He also denied reports that the constitutionalist forces had been defeated by rebel bands in various sections of Southern Mexico. The statement, . which was the first the constitutionalist leader had made to the press in three months, said in part: "Various American newspapers have waged a campaign against Mexico, af firming that the situation was very grave and that reDel forces during the last few days had gained important victories against the government in Col i ma, Mexico.

Roth died Monday, October 23, at the home of her daugjiter, Mrs. Owen Jones. Mrs. .Roth was born in Germany in 1849 and came, with her parents, to Madison. Wis., in 1851. where she was married in 1867 to John M. Roth. For the next two or three years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Roth lived in Minnesota; then moved to Kansas, from which state they came to Oregon in 1875. living for about six months in the Wil lamette Valley, and then moving to Wasco County. Mrs. Roth is survived by her husband, John M. Roth, and eight children Mrs. Horatio Fargher, Mrs. Owen Jones and John Roth, of Dufur; Mrs. W. E. Sheehan, of Waterville, Wash.; R. V. Roth and C C. Roth, of Palisades, Wash., and Mrs. R. M. Russell, of Appledale, Wash. All of these reports are absolutely false. "In the last few days the constitu tionalists have defeated the followers of Felix Diaz, Diaz himself escaping across the border of Chiapas and tak ing refuge in Guatemala. All the Zap atistas have been forced to take to the mountains, as all the cities and towns are in control of the government. The only active movement has been that of the Villlstas in Chihua.iua. which has been able to continue on ac count of the facilities the enemies of the government have acquired in the United States to foment and aid the movement, but it is sure the govern ment will eventually suppress the movement. "The newspapers say that hunger is being felt in Mexico. This is untrue, as there is no lack of food and the new harvest has bettered the situation while reducing the price of cereals and ar ticles of prime necessity. "It is also affirmed that there has been a split in the constitutionalist ranks, while the facts are that the greatest generals and the most im portant civilians have united in the Constitutionalist-Liberal party, which is being joined by similar organizations throughout the republic. "This party has conferred the nomi nation for president, which I accepted after a formal offer had been made by the commission. including euch as Ednardo Hay, the president of the party, and Generals Gonzalez and Obre gon. This party is preparing for tho campaign and all are disposed to sus tain the government under my charge. "My family is now on a trip to the United States, but soon will rejoin me, a I am indisposed -to abandon this city because of the suppose! machina tions against me, which do not exist, or the threats of the Zapatistas. I will leave the capital only when the time arrives for the constitutionalist astsembly to congregate at Queretaro." CLERKS DEBUTE ISSUES L1PMAX-WOIFE EMPLOYES HEAR Hl'GHKS AND WILSON BACKED.

POLK THOUGHT SAFE Wagers Made on Republican Majority of 800. HOT CAMPAIGN CONDUCTED Attack Made on Walter Xi. Tooze, Jr., Candidate for District Attorney, Alleging Unfair Treatment of Clients, Answered. DiLLAS. Or.. Oct. 28. (Special.) The chances are that the Republican ticket. National, state and county, will carry victors In this county. Conserva tive citizens place the Hughes majority at a figure between 800 and 1000. Men are making wagers that this lead will be shown at the polls. The Polk central committee has waged a live campaign throughout the county. Ex-Senator Burton, of Ohio, was obtained for a speech here the only one he made in Oregon on his most recent trip. A series of IB old-faeh-ioned, red-fire meetings is being held throughout the county. For a time it appeared that the vic tory in Polk would be without features, as far as the county ticket was con cerned. Then the Democratic nominee for District Attorney and friends in jected some "pep" by making certain claims in regard to the widowe' pension cases in which the Republican candi date, Walter L. Tooze. Jr., was con cerned. Mr. Tooze effectively answered the arguments and silenced the stories by printing the entire record of the case over his signature, together with affidavits from some of the widows. Though lie had covered the county once, Mr. Tooze started out again. He took one of his widow clients along with him to each meetltrg and told the people they might ask her as to the truth or falsity of the stories being Circulated to the effect that he had robbed his clients. It is believed that Mr. Tooae converted a doubtful ma jority into a real landslide. Mark V. Weatherford ha not cam paigned In this county and It is evi dent that the same old majority, with a considerable increase, will be re turned for W. C. Hawlfy for Repre sentative in Congress. Miss Almeda J. Fuller, Republican, is making a hard fight for County School Superintendent- Besides cam paigning for herself. Miss Fuller has the task of persuading -the Polk voters that a woman can handle the office of school superintendent in this county as well as they have done it in others throughout the state and Nation. Miss Fuller has gained strength rapidly. HOMAGE TO LEADER PAID (Continued Worn First Pase. criticised, made a bid for the German vote, and paid his disrespects to Colonel Theodore Roosevejt. He called Colonel Roosevelt "the Colonel from Dead Dog Gulch, whereat a gale of Democratic merriment arose. Republirans Praised for Votes. "'I want to take up some of the things that have been said against Woodrow Wilson in his own party." said Colonel Wood in this stage of his address. And a moment later, praising Pro gressives and progressive Republicans who voted for the child labor bill, he said frankly: "With the , manufacturing cotton South against the child labor bill, it couldn't have passed without the aid of the Progressives and the progressive Republicans." Colonel Wood's address was in part as follows: "Woodrow Wilson will never have to strive for fame. He's already got it. He is already one of the immortals. I would like to feel that this meeting is not altogether one of Democratic af fection. I would rather feel that this is a non-paytisan gathering of Amer ican citizens. Attack on President Itesrnted. "In this country and crucial time, when mere labels ought to become as the breath to be blown aside, and the great substantials of humanity ought to govern, I would like to feel that this meeting is one on the part of his fel low citizens to do honor to the man who, in .the midst of a world carried away by insanity, has led us out of a narrow and insular position, has led us out as a great world power, and a pow er making for honor and peace Wood row Wilson. "We have had much, too much, of Americanism loyalty American citi zenship honorable citizenship. I tell you it is not my idea of Americanism to have the prominent men who have risen to the top in this Nation, from mere lust of office or disappointed ambition, going about tho country hurling at their President and our President words of contumely and vituperation, cowardice, vacilliation charges that he is weak and has dishonored American citizenship. Rcapeet for Candidate Dented. "I care not what party I belong to, to deny the first principle of fair play and honesty its not my idea of Ameri can citizenship. I have no respect for the candidate for the high office of President of the United States and his militant backers who have gone throughout this country without a whisper of commendation, of intelli gent explanation to their fellow coun trymen of the Kreat deeds Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic party have performed. "What do you think of the candi date who has had not one word to eay of the Federal reserve act. that has made panics forever impossible not one word to say? " "Is this silence as of the mummy and the tomb to be interpreted that it is a good work and cannot be attacked, or is it to be interpreted as a sur render, as Mr. Root termed it, of all that had been won since the defeat of free silver, and the McKinley admin istration and that the true financial system was that embodied in the Aid rich bill, with a central bank, to be dominated, as I understand it. by the financial internets of Wall street? Silence on Act Assailed. "What do you think of this same aspirant asking for the dismissal of our President, and his return to pri vate life, who has not one word to say, good or bad, for the rural credit act? "If Woodrow Wilson and the Demo cratic Administration had nothing else to their credit but these two acts, which lay the foundation for a lasting pros perity, these two would have been enough. "Have you seen in the speeches of the aspirant for Mr. Wilson's place any credit for the tariff commission and the Underwood trafiff? They say the Underwood tariff is too low. Well, the trouble with the Republican tariffs preceding it was that they were too hie'h. "Mr.- Hughes has been crying that the blood-stained and economically im poverished European countries will dump things on this land. He said be wants to be there as the protector of protection. He will protect it as he protected the 2-cent fare bill, because it was too burdensome on the railroads. And I say that, like another bearded gentleman who will go down in history as the greatest pleepor of its time, Mr. Hughes, like Rip Van Winkle, has been asleep. Faith Pnt la Commission. "I want to win any Republican who is a large-hearted Republican and on the fence. Tou may say to your Re publican friend that if the American workman, if American industry needs protection, wherever it is needed, the tariff commission, non-partisan, com poesd of experts, will lay the tariff where it belongs without regard to in terests." He said Mr. Hughes would "make tie non-partisan tariff commission a non entity and put it out of commission." "You have heard some criticism of the child labor act." continued Colonel Wood. "They say it only applies to children making products subject to interstate commerce. But I say it was the step as far as President Wilson could go under the Constitution, and it ill becomes anybody to carp and criti cise that he didn't step further, do the impossible and violate th Constitution itself. And when the step has been taken, it augurs well for the future that by this Federal act states will be forced into action. Coercion Is Denied. "Then it is said that he meekly and tamely yielded to coercion in the Adam son act. "Ail that Woodrow Wilson did. all that Congress did. was this: They said, wo are not going to argue and carp and criticise on this one feature of the laboring man's demand, the eight-hour day, because the eight-hour day has passed into the consciousness of civil ized manhood. But all else will be the subject of careful Federal investiga tion. "Now the A dam son act. like the child labor act. has a moral influence far be yond its legal effect. And I want to tell you that in passing the Adamson act Uncle Joe Cannon led the stam pede from the Republican party to fa vor it. and there wasn't a word of criticism in the Senate. "It has been said that the Adamson act didn't accomplish anything. It served its purpose and stopped the strike. And Woodrow Wilson, who. in a way. injected himself into the con troversy, paid that he d'd so not as a partisan of the railroad men or the railroad magnates, but as the agent of the people of the whole United States." Colonel Wood said Wri!son had made his creed in every act, "People before prosperity." He went on: "Don't let us forget that time and time again, in every one of these crucial moments, there came to Wilson's aid that splen did body of Progressives and those pro. gresslve Republicans, such men as Vic tor Murdock and Robert LaFollette." free Toll Discussed. Discussing the repeal of the Panama Canal free tolls, contrary to the Demo cratic platform pledge. Colonel Wood said, in part: I know nothing that is more brilliant than the wreath of laurel that will some day rest on his brow, that when he came into office and ex amined the treaties and found in plain English that the ships -of all nations should pass through the canal on an equality with our ships.- he said. 'Our Nation's word of honor is more to me than the declaration of any party plat form.' . "He has been criticised as having lowered the standard of American citi zenship, as having left the American citizen unprotected and unguarded. I tell you, judging on these facts with your hindsight months afterward hi mighty different from having to de cide at the moment. And as I look back I find that the President was al ways right. Bid Made for German . Vote. "I would like to win any German vot in this audience." continued tho Colonel, taking up a discussion of the President's handling of tho Eluropean situation. He declared that Wilson had abided strictly by international law and In his every act had preferred humanity to property. Of the Mexican situation, he said in part: "I want you to understand that statement of the Colonel from Dead Dog Gulch that if Bucky hadn't been killed at San Juan hill or some other hill, Bucky would have cleaned up the whole border in six weeks or six months, it doesn't matter how long. I want you to get the background of the Mexican situation, that's the only way you can understand it. You can't understand it from the pronounciamentos hurled through the big teeth of Colonels from Dead Dog Gulch. You'll find that in handling the Mexican situation the President had preferred people to prop erty. History Kapected to Honor. "The Colonel says there were more Americans lost their lives along the Rio Grande than lost their lives in the whole Spanish-American war. Well, there were only a little more than 3u0 American lives lost in the Spanish War and he didn't take one of them. There were more than 300 lives lost in con flicts witli the bandits that overran Missouri during the Civil War." Speaking of the vacillation charged to President Wilson, Colonel Wood de clared he "is as consistent as the needle to the pole, if you understand the sub ject. "Our President." be concluded, "will go down into history as tho man who found a better way to settle disputes than by war and slaughter."
