The following is President Wilson's ddress, which was delivered at Moile before the Southern Commercial !ongross Monday. After declaring his lterost in all things Southern the resident "l?n? a..?. i - ? v.v. N? VM , U U V l\/"U ll^ A UU ot neod to speak for the South. She as perhaps acquired tho gift of peaking for herself. 1 conic because want to speak of our present and rospectivo relations with our neighors to the south. "I deemed it a public duty as well s a personal pleasure to ho hero to xpres8 for myself and for the govrnnient I represent the welcome wo -11 feel to those who represent the latin-Ainerienn States. Tho future, ulies and gentlemen, is going to be ory different for this hemisphere *om the past. These states lying to ic south of us, which have always nnr* /vim 1. t ? ' * ovu w ii i llt'lHIIUUIH, Will now 1)0 rawn closer to us by innumerable es, and 1 hope, chief of all, by the e of a common understanding. "Interest does not tie nations to2ther. It sometimes separates them; ut sympathy and understanding do nito them. And 1 believe that by this ew route that is just about to bo aened, while we physically rut two mtlnents asunder, we spiritually nite them. This is a spiritual union hich we seek, I wonder if you reale, I wonder if your imaginations rive boen filled with the significance the tides of commerce. ( "Theso great tides, which have >en running along parallels of lattude will now swing southward hwart parallels of lattitude, id that opening gate at the Isthmus a Panama will open the world to a 'mincrce that she has not known j\fore?a commerce of thought and mpathy between North and South; id the Latin-American States which their disadvantage, have been off o main lines, will now be on the ilin lines. I feel that these gentleen honoring us with their presence -day will presently find that some ^trt, at any rate, of the centre of e<avity of the world has shifted. Do "ill realize that New York, for ex^riple, will bo nearer the western dluBt of South America than she is to tho eastern coast of South ?*nerica? at"There is one peculiarity about tlie atory of tho Latin-American States Cliich I am sure they are keenly lioare of. You hear of concessions to gireign capitalists in Latin-America, gibu do not hear of concessions to trreign capitalists in tho United toates. They are not granted .conteosions. They aro invited to make tra/estments. Tho work is ours, w<?>ugh they aro welcome to invest in ; Wo do not ask them to supply ca^ capital and do the work. Tt is an cavitation not a privilege; and States gujU aro obliged, because their terriaery does not lie within tho main buld of modern enterprise and acTh(H, to grant concessions aro in this tiotidition: That foreign interests are y to dominate ilieir domestic af- ' coafs.

You rfthin ?t tic friends at all except upon a1 yo of ?Ems of lionor, and wo must *r uentiy ourselves friends by compre- af lick en \ robt cured " . ! ' heading their interest, whether it squares with our interest or not. it is a very perilous thing to determine the foreign policy of a nation in the terms of material interest, it not only is unfair to those with whom you are dealing, but it is degrading on the part of your own actions. Comprehension must be tho soil in which shall grow all the fruits of friendship; because there is a reason and a compulsion lying behind all this which is nearer than anything else to the thoughtful men of America. I mean the development of constitutional liberty in the world. Human rights, national integrity and against material interests. That, ladles and gentlemen, Is tho issue I which we now have to face. "I want to take this occasion to say that the United States will never again seek one additional foot of territory by conquest. She will devote herself to showing that she knows how to make honorable and fruitful I use of tho territory she has. And | she must regard it as ono of the duties of friendship to see that from no quarter are material interests made superior to human liberty and national opportunity. 1 say tliis, not \vith a single thought that any one will gainsay it, hut merely to fix in our consciousness what our real relationship with tbo rest of America is. It is the relationship of a family of mankind devoted to the development or true constitutional liberty. | We know that that is the soil out of which the best enterprise springs. Wo know that this is a cause which we are making in common with them because we have had to make it for ourselves. "Reference has been made here to-day to some of the problems which confront us as a nation. What is the heart of till our national problems? is it that we have seen tbo hand of material interest some times about to close upon our dearest interests and possessions? We have seen material interests threaten constitution al freedom In America. Therefore, we will now know how to sympathize with those in America who have to content with that, not only within their borders, hut from outside their borders also. 1 know what the response of the thought and heart of America will he to a program like that, because America was created to realize a program like that. This is not America because it is rich. This is not America because it has set up for a great population great opportunities of material prosperity. America is a name which sounds in the ears of men everywhere as a synonym with individual opportunity, because a synonym of individual liberity. I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty. "Rut we shall not bo poor if we love liberty, because the nation that loves liberty truly sets every man free to do his best and be his best, and that means the release of all the splendid energies of a great people who think for themselves. A nation of employees can not bo free any more than a nation of employers can be. "So in emphasizing the points which must unite us in sympathy and in spiritual interest with the Latin /MuiTic-.in people, wo arc only emphasizing tho points of our own life, and we should prove ourselves untrue to our own traditions if we proved ourselves untrue friends to-day. Do not think, therefore, gentlemen, that questions of the day are more questions of policy and diplomacy. They are shot through with the principles of life. "We dare not turn from the principle that morality and not expediency is tho thing that must guide us, and that we will never condone inequity because it is most convenient to do so. So it -corns to mo that this i Is a day of infinite hope, of confidence i In a future rronfr>r Omn * * - ? tuitu I Hi; JHISt IU1S 1 been.

KUERIA WILL RULE UN! Number of Votes fast Seem Not t?> Have Amounted to Number Required by Constitution, so Flection Will l'robubly be Pronounced Invulid by the Congress Fleeted Sunday. At the close of the Mexican elections Sunday the indications were that not sufllcient votes had been cast in Mexico to constitute a legal choice for the presidency to succee 1 (Jen. Iluerta. No ollicial .announcement was made Sunday night, but it was unolllcially estimated tluit less than 10,000 of tho 80,000 eligible voters in the republic went to the polls. It would ho no surprise if Congress, the members of which also were voted for Sunday, declared the election void when that body is organized and revises the returns. The leaders of the Catholic party claimed a long lead, although they were unable to estimate tho number of votes polled for their candidates, Federico (Jamboa and (Jen. Kascon. If this claim Is correct, it is generally thought that (Jen. Felix Diaz and Senor Uequena are second. The Liberal candidate, Manuel Calero and Flores Magon, had no printed tickets at the pollings places, their constituents being obliged to write their names on blank ballots. President Iluerta did not vote. lie spent the day at his suburban home. A decree was issued by Con. 11 nortn Moil (In V Inprnneln nr ^ -- r .... iv k.uiih 111*3 iii my i rum 85,000 men, its alleged present number, to 150,000. Since the Deputies and Senators are not subject to the election provisions governing the presidential elections, it is said that the choice for Congress is assured. It is assumed that the Catholic party will have a majority in both Chamber and Senate. The elections promised by the Provisional President, Oen. 1 Inert a, were held and there was no semblance of disorder in any quarter of the city. A few patrols were on the streets, hut neither police nor troops had any hut the usual duties to perform. The polling places opened at 0 o'clock in the morning and remained until noon when the attendants closed the booths until 5 o'clock in the afternoon for the mid-day meal. They were reopened at 3 and closed again at 5 o'clock. From 3 to 5 o'clock oflieials, one of whom was designated "president", were in attendance at each polling place. These oflieials represented the various parties and assisted in the 1 preparation of the ballot when necessary. hut offered no coercion or sue sestion as to how the applicant should vote. i The election officials appeared to 1 he a representative class of citizens? small business men, railroad employees and shopkeepers. So far as ( could he ascertained no government 1 employees served. Each polling place ' had a table on which were spread ' tickets of the various candidates. A From these the voter made his selec- ' tion, signed, folded and delivered it 1 to the president, who deposited it in f the presence of the voter in the bal- c lot box. Ballot boxes consisted of all sorts of receptacles from a pasteboard shoe box to a plush-covered jewel casket, or a glass jar borrowed from a neighboring drug store. There was ao secrecy about the voting. As the. vote was deposited the name was ' checked on the registration list pre-1 * viousiy prepared through personal visits of a designated ofllcial in the i houses in his jurisdiction. Tt was lot left to the volition of the citizen 1< o register his name on the list if he ? ivero entitled by residence, age and ri ither requirements to cast a vote. Manuel Calero, Liberal candidate, a vho was onco ambassador at Wash- ? ngton, did not vote. Instead he took 4 V lis family early in the day into the ountry. Federico Gamboa, candi- n late of tho Catholic party, on the ni ither hand, cast a ballot for Senor ^ ^alero. Neither of these candidates * ared to express an opinion as to vhether a sufficient number of balots had been deposited to make the lections effective. Few of those who 01 rent to the polls took the trouble to ote for r*iher Senators or Deputies. fc ? ? ? 1 t\ Admits Killing of Sister. w T.awrenco Crow, of Mt. Ravage, p?

RACE I XIOX COl XTV MAN COMIvS OCT KOIl (iOVKHNOIt. <;ivcs l!:s Platform W11i<-11 ItcquircH Kegisti ntinn tor Voting in Primary ? Tax ami School Kefornis. Lowndes J. Browning of Sedalia, in Union County, announced Thursday that he would be a candidate for governor of South Carolina in the Democratic primary next summer. Mr. Browning has been in public life in South Carolina for a number of years, having served three terms in the house of representatives. IIo was chairman of the ways and means committee during the session of 1 ill 1-' 1 2. lie was not a candidate for re-election to the house in 1913. Mr. Browning has been a farmer all his life and is at present president of the Union County Farmers' union. He was president of the Union County Fair association for two years, declining re-election. Mr. Browning issued the following outline of his platform: "1 will bo a candidate for governor in 1914 in the Democratic primary. Summarized brieily, my platform is as follows: "First. Every white Democrat should bo a'lowed to vote, provided ho will qualify himself to maintain the action of the Democratic primary in the general election. mnn should ho allowed to participate in the naming of a Stato and county ticket as a Democrat and then support some other party in the general election for president and vice-president, as was done in 1912 by certain alleged members of tho Progressive party. " "Second. I believe in tho thorough reform of our financial system. If properly regulated, tho personal property tax can and should ho eliminated. Under our present system, a citizen can not hide his household and kitchen furniture, his live stock if a farmer, his stock in goods if a merchant, but ho can and very frequently does hide his personal property if it is principally invested In mortgages, stocks, bands and the like. This tax should be a tax on income and thus you will reach those most able to pay and those who receivo the greatest protection from govern ment. "Third. I shall advocate a thorough reform of our school system. The constitutional school tax should be made a State fund instead of a county fund. Thus the richer counties would aid the poorer counties, 1 ?tl i' 1 ? una an uie cniKircn of our State would receive equal benefit. Each school district should, as at present, be allowed to supplement this State fund by local levies for their individual benefit. The State, however, should guarantee that each school should run a certain period and if the present constitutional school tax does not raise sufficient revenue for this purpose, the Stato levy should ho increased. "Fourth. I believo in ?a thorough reform and simplification of our Judicial procedure, whereby justice may be obtained in a reasonable length of time. I am suro that the present ingestion for our dockets could be -elieved, were there a commission of hroe, whose decisions would be final is regards all damage suits. This vould be hard on a few lawyers, but t would benefit greatly the poor emiloyees who bring such suits against 'omporations, provided the decisions >f this commission be final. "Fifth. T shall advocate tho enorcement of all laws on the statute looks. If they are good, the Stato rill reap the benefit. Tf they are ad. the necessttv fnr Umin ...:n . w . V ? . V 11 1 1 Will to more quickly realized. "Sixth. Somo candidates profess o ignoro the fact that two political actions do exist within tho Demoratlc party of this State. With equal ustieo they could deny that the sun ' ? the luminary of the day. T belong a that wing of the Democratic party ' f this State which believes in a rep- ' csentativo form of government aunded on the principles of our State ' nd national constitutions, and am pposed to 'boss rule' as exemplified ' y lluerta in Mexico and various ( losses' in this and other States. T { m the candidate of no 'boss* nor ny newspaper, hut am asking for ( le office of governor on my record, believe that tho executive, legisla- ! vo and judicial departments of our 1 ivernment are supreme in their re- t motive spheres. Tho authority of ( io should not be encroached upon 1 / that of another. > nmi i nere are numerous minor re- r irrns that T might mention, but this i brief outlines the principles upon 1 hirh I shall ash the support of my a irty as a candidate for governor in v io Democratic primary in 1014." 1; Opossum for Mr. Wilson v President Wilson Thursday receiv- j I by express a fine fat 'possum. "T n an old slave-time darkey," wrote ... ie Farrow of McFarlan, N. C., the nder. "I heard that some one sent ui a sweet potato the other day. [ire is an opossum to go with it."

PKkSlDtNT SPEAKS PLAINLY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS WANTS MORAL AICTORY Although Making no Specific Heferonce to Mexico His Meaning Towards That Country Was Evident ?Outlines Foreign Policy of the United States. While avoiding any mention specifically of Mexico or any European influence connected with the Mexican situation President Woodrow Wilson Monday delivered a speech at Mobile apparently freighted with significance which served to point with further directness the policy of tlie United States, not only toward Mex- ico, but toward all Central and South American republics. Mr. Wilson spoke before the Southern Commercial Congress and the big audience which heard him cheered him frequently. The President smil ingly took his hearers into his confidence when he explained he must speak "with moderation and without indiscretion". His speech can bo read in another column. A score of South American and Lat in-American diplomats sat just behind the President while he spoke and many of his remarks wero addressed in conversational tones to them. There were those in the audience who thought the President might take advantage of the opportunity afforded by his speech to say something regarding the Mexican crisis. Mr. Wilson, however, spoke only in general terms, but many of his sentences were pointed with a meaning so clear as to leave little 1 doubt of Ibntr "Material interests"?a phrase much In use Internationally of late in characterizing the attitude of foreign nations toward Mexico?frequently was exployed hv the President. He declared the American republic long 1 had suffered from the hard bargains forced upon them by concessionaries seeking' "material interests" In the countiles affected. The President declared that through motives of "mortality and not expediency" the | United States desired to help the T.at- 1 in-American republics to "an emancipation from the subordination which has been inevitable to foreign enterprise." The President's speech was uttered with a confidence which bespoke Ithe dominant part the United States 1 expects to play in the future of the American republics. "The United States will never again seek to obtain one additional foot of territory by conquest," ho declared amid applause. Mr. Wilson spent six busy hours in Mobile. He arrived early in the It morning and was taken jointly in hand by the members of the Southern Commercial Congress and citizens of the city. Tie was break fastpd d ri von nlinnf Uir> Clio cujr ill iiuiomobiles, was given a sight-Reeing expedition in the harbor and started back to Washington with cheers ringing _ ahout Ills special train. The Presi- ^ dent was in a rush from the moment lie reached the city until he left, and if any dispatches of State reached him, they were deferred until he reached the seclusion of his train. ?
