F OOKBItiMO-V STARTS r ITS LABOliS >HUKTLY Lace and Brandeis Named as Two i. .Members oi Joint Body to Settle Mexican Dispute "Washington. Aug. 9.?White Hou.se officials expect to announce tomorrow the name of the third man chosen byPresident Wilson to serve with Secretary Lane of the interior department and Justice Brandeis of the supreme eourt on the joint commission which \ 'Will strive for a settlement of border disputes between the United States and Mexico. Acting Secretary Polk announced the (acceptance of the commission plan today after Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate, had given positive assurances that his k government was not desirous of limiting the scope of the proposed discussion in any way. Alt_hmi-@rh T^nsn? tciII rp turn from his vacation tomorrow, Mr. Poik ant" Mr. Arredondo probably will ^cemplete the preliminary arrange< meets for the commission, determining the time and place of the meeting after the views of the commissioners bave been obtained. The commission will have power to deal with any subject related to the border difficulties which. brought th countries to the verge of .hostilities Jso questions touching the sovereignty of Mexico will be taken up, however, and it will be left to the commissioners themselves to determine whether L they can do more than offer a plan of action covering the security of the border. Decisions of the commission will be in no wise binding upon either govern-' irient until they h&ve been ratified " iboth by President "Wilson an(< Gen. | Carranza. Withdrawal of American! troops, coupled with the framing of j b. protocol to cover future military! err-editions, will be the first subject i discussed to be followed by an inves- i tigation of the underlying interests foehmd the border raids. It is regarded as probable that the , cuiiiiiiissiuxi may iouj Li:e in>rut:r auu interview military and civil authorities on both sides of the line. Mr. Arredondo issued a statement today saying that Ramon Solis. one of the handits involved in the massa- j ere. of American mining men at Santa ' I Isabel, had been captured near J.viina-1 oa, tried, convicted and sentenced to; deUth. k ENORMOUS DEMAND 9 FOR MAXWELL CARS Local Dealer Says More Trouble? x*> To Get Cars Thau To Sell Tiiein. j "iWe are doing the uest we cun? | demand is greaier than we could anti- j cipate."

[ | j To The Voters of the Third District: I For several weeks I have been wanting to leave Washington and go home to j Lake pan in the campaign, but so far it has just been impossible for me to get : tvmc !P?inn nf Pnnsrress is nearinsr its close. The House has about j a <? a; . i w [l completed its programme, but the Senate is far behind with its work. A numj| oer of important bills are in conference between the two Houses, and other imjj portant bills are yet to pass the Senate. They will be amended and come to !j conference. The Democrats have a majority of only some 23 in the House, !j and if very many of them go away some of the important bills may be emascu j lated or defeated entirely. The leaders ot Congress are constantly urging tne Democratic members to remain here untilthe work is finished. Only a couple of days ago I received a note from Senator i mman, urging me to stay here until his. Naval appropriation bill has passed through conference. The revenue bill, the shipping bill, the child labor bill, and others of importance, are yet to bs _ * # ~ r?Am \ j passed, so that really much of the most important wont 01 tue sessiuu to be done. I could arrange to be paired, of course; but much of the work of the conferences between the two houses on important legislation is being done now. | Members of the conference committees have their friends helping them to feel j out the sentiment of the two houses, so that the bills may be so shaped that I they will be acceptable when the conference reports are finally presented. All I the Democratic members, and especially the older ones, those who have been. | here a long time and know what to do, and when and how to do it, have a share | in this work, ana it is important, though not so spectacular as some other kinds II of work. i T anvhnrK- rould be tc set home and into the campaign, but j J CLLLi CLO aiiAivuo uwr _ _ w [ my colleagues say my presence is needed here, and I think they are right I j feel that I should remain here and try to do the work that the people have j entrusted to me rather than neglect the work and go home to look after my own political fortunes. Aside from my sense of duty, my feeling of gratitude - \ and obligation to the people, wlio have repeatedly honored me with the position I now hold, impels me to this course. The people of the Third District know full well that I have never shirked or dodged a fight.. Justtas soon as 1 can feel that I can safely leave here, I will take the first train for home. It may be so that I dan get away within a week, or i may be that I will have to ^~ A "ccinn rwf Prm^rpss and that mav be the mid I remain nert? uum tuc euu vl iuc v>?~ 0 - ? ? ? _ | die or last of September. But it is my plain duty to stay here now, and I am going to stay. j Aside from my legislative duties, it has seemed that the calls for individual ; service for individuals in the District, in matters pertainng to the government, have been greater and more .numerous this summer than ever before. For instance, the mobilization of the national guard has entailed a great deal of extra work on the part' of every member of Congrtss. Only a few days ago I was - ui- +v>o ?iooco r>f a mpnvhpr nf the ?uard. After he had enlisted ! auie LU sctuic iut igi^uav ^ ? _ _ 0 and gone into camp at Columbia, his father died very suddenly, leaving a, widow ana several small children. The young man is now needed at home to support the family, but if I had not been here on the ground I would not have i been able to secure his release so quickly, and probably not at all^The comfort I that I have been able to give this bereaved family will al way s^B worth more ; to me than any possible number of votes that I may lose by rflBn of not being at home in the campaign. fl 1 have no unkind word to say as to a single one of my <^^Bien:s. They ? s-^<r,.acc of fnnrtiP- thou eh if tiiev doing any i rave a rigiit 10 i uu iui W/U51 , ? u_ m _ ' tiling at all in their professions?three are lawyers and one is^Manker?they | would be better off at home than here in Washington with, a ^Bngressman's i salary after paying the heavy expenses of a member of Congrew. Any man wlio is doing anything at all as a.lawyer or a banker is better off than a Congressman, and I take it for granted that the people of the Third District do not want a man who lias been a failure in his chosen profession to represent them in Congress. I understand that some of my opponents nave neen criticising my record in Congress. 1 have not heard any of their speeches, and none of them have appeared in print, so I do not know just what they have been saying. If they have I /^rrcwtk' t havp no comnlaint to make. My record here is stctieu jxi v ictuiu \.\ji * . _ made, and I am willing to be judged by it. Even if I were not willing to be so ; judged, 1 could not help myself, for the record is public and the facts can be I ascertained by anone who wants to know the facts. I am sure that no one of I my opponents would intentionally iuisro^rescnt me, but it mciy be that t"iey ! have been doing this unintentionally, through misinformation. i it Las been my good fortune to incur the enmity of one or two men, whose names I need not call here. These men have been fighting me in season anu out of season, as the people of the Third District well know. I know that in a previous campaign they wrote speeches apd furnished campaign material ! for some oi my opponents, and I have reason to believe that they have been ; doing the same thing this year. And it may be that my opponents have been j using statements furnished them by these unscruplous enemies of mine, withjj out taking the trouble to verify them, and that in-t^is way they have been mis| representing me. If any man in the Third District is in doubt as to my rei ?^ foj+hfninpss or mv standing as a member of Congress, I suggest thar IKAJ1 U, uujr ? _ , he write to Speaker Champ Clark, Hon. Claude Kitchin of North Carolina, chairman of the Committee on Ways and I Means; Hon. J. J Fitzgerald, of New York, chairman of the Committee on 'Appropriations; Hon. Carter Glass, of Virginia, chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency; Hon. W. C. :L4 damson, of Georgia, chairman of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign j Commerce; Hon. James Hay, of Virginia, chairman of the Committee on MiliI tary Affairs; ,Hon. L. F. Padgett, of Tennessee, chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs?any of these chairmen or any member or tnese great committees?men who have served with me for a long time and know me. I have not asked any member of Congress to write a letter in my behalf, of course, j and would not do so. but I will be willing to be judged by what they may say j about me. j 1 would like io be at home in the campaign, so I might tell the people of the ; beneficial legislation that has been enacted by the Democratic Congress. I j would like to tell of the new tariff law, the new currency Law, f^e new anti! trust law, the income tax law, the act providing for Federal aid for good ' t.hfl -Ural rrpfiits law. the new South Carolina Federal District, an?ji l uauc, i v%. ? ? ? ___ other laws, tliat have been enacted l'or the benefit of the people. I voted for all of these good laws which have been placed on the statute books. Some of i my opponents do not seem to know that these laws have been enacted, judging hv the wav thev are advocating them. ! There rare other laws that are needed, and they will be placed on the statute book? if the Democrats are returned to power in November, as now seems ! likely. The outlook for Democratic success this fall is bright, and this make.? it ali the moro imperative for Democratic members of Congress to remain j here now and close up the work of this session in good shape. And with the j Democrats continued in charge of the government, it is a reasonable, common' sense proposition that members of Congress who have been trierl and found " : imp mpri who know tne needs of the peonle and who are experienced in legis j lation and know how to accomplish results, may be trusted to continue their i j good work.

I must thank the people for the confidence they have repose-'! 11 in me in the past. If they think me worthy to continue to represent them, I j shall he under increased indebtedness to them, and will try to serve them with the same faithfulness and singleness of purpose with which I have tried to serve them in the past. I can promise no more than this, and I doubt if my opponents can promise any more. And let me repeat, that if I can get into the campaign before it closes I shall certainly do so. T want to he there now, but my duty is to stay here for the '' * r -?'<-> + ~ rt-A Viy-wmo Tt present, and I shall stay here until me way is open iui mc ^ -for the people to say whether I am doing the right thing or not Respectfully, WYATT AIKEN Washington, August 8,1918 - ??v*. , ? j ?'^?raKMWMIMM^ ygaMiSaBgBBhw
