WHITE SAYS OX CHARGES PROVED Chairman of Democratic Committee Accused Senator Edge of Changing from a Judge to an Advocate of Evidence. New Yoik, Sept. ll.--Senator Wal ter E. Edge, of New .Jerifey, has "abandoned the thin pretense of be Ing a judge of evl(lence and has he come an advocate" '.eclared George White, cliairnan of the Democratic committee here today in commenting on Senator I0'dge's attitutde as . mem ber of the Senate committee investi gating campaign funds. "It is not surprising that in t'hi role he -hts so readily cleared his party of the charge of a huge cam paign fund," his statement continted. "This is not only in line with the attitude of many of Mr. Edge's par ty in the 'Senate constituting the Oligarchy of w%-hiich lGovernor Cox has i-poken but it is typical also of the party which White was head, a Sen ator from Michigan whose vote was necessary to control the Sienate. "I th1ink thie people lave fully made upi their minds about the mer its of the slush fund charges and proof of them. Even. M\r. Hays at Plt iadel ph1,a yesterday. took off the mask of the 'thousand dolla rs ol tribtiionis' and on the insulting ,pre Imlise that the i Democratic party pro poses to surrender the Iindependence of the t'nited States, he paved t he way for the great contributions irom men ttad groujps of m)ten who know what they want and how to get it from a Rei:niblican. administration." "Govenior Cox has every reason to congratulate himself and the Aiter lean people tipol the successful outt come of the hearings at Chicago, the precipitate retreat of Senator Edge being not the least Colnt Isive evi dence of this success. "WVith this established as a basis of the 'lepiublican campaign we shall go ahead preseniling our great is sies on the League of Nations and lprogre.sive admidiistration .of taxa tion and other pressing I )ecoerat ic problems. "it is true that we are as poor as the Repnibl iCans are rich. 1111 hon est povety is a lore creditable state before the Amenican people than lie heavy obl igationi of a rich campaign fund." .JElRSEY BUtLL ASSOCIAiTION SIHOW AT PIED3ONT F\ll Ilu1ll Association to ltine Show lit Greeiwood (ctobier 20-22.

MEXICO NEAR TOP - AS OIL PRODUCERl t Washington, Sept. 12.-lexico proin Ises to become the oil reservoir of the y westerin hemisphere the department i of commerce declard today in a review of the petroleum industry in the south ern republic.

Exhaustion of 40 per cent of the producing fields of the United States, the dopiartment's review stated, has caused Mexico to take second -place in oil production although only about 12 per cent of the potential capacity of Moxican wells is 'being actually produced. Oil experts from .lexiho during the first six months of 1920 totalled 60,- t 000,000 barrels, an increase of 72 per celt over the previolus year. 'Development of the Mexican oil fields, however, is only in Its infancy,. tile review states, adding that of the 231,250 square miles of territory be lieved to contain oil deposits, not ilore thain 800 sqluare miles are being ex ploited. Curtailment of product ion is ascrilbd by the <ripart ment to lack of transportation and storage facilities 1 aI dto the Unsettled political condi t ions-.
