nuu>b*rx of people from all callings
In the atate have u4ged me by letter,
fee ting an organisation, and If I
bad it, I am oonrtneed that the great
eat evil of this dny politically Is the
use of money in securing nomina

would not use It If T were able to
command a fund requisite for such
purposed. la addition to this reason
for refuelm to nttempt an organisa
tion in behalf of my candidacy I
have a feeling that the aanaiorshlp
would be worthies to me if secured
by any aueh methods.
If I go to the senatq X must go
free from speeial obligation to any
eet of men. and, thorefore under
equal obligation to every man. in
going to the senate m this way would
put me In a position to give to the

ed a peace agreement at the customs
house here; Intended to end the hos
tilities that hare been waged in Mex
lco for the last six months.
Though covering only the princi

the agreement practically records
tho concessions by the government
of those demands which started on
November 20, the last armed revo
lution In Mexico. Telegrams an
nouncing thfe signing of the agree

Moxtco to revolutionary and federal

Judge Carbajai represented the
federal government and Dr. Vasquez
Oomex, Francisco I Madero and
8enor Pino Suarex acted for the re

The agreement was sighed after
three days of indecision, Francisco
I. Madero, Jr., leader of the rebels
expressing the vleythst peace should
be declared only when Senor De la
Bnrra became provisional President
and the new cabinet was Installed.
Some of his chiefs argued other
wise, declaring that armed forces In
the field In the Interim might pre
cipitate trouble. It was suggested
too. that In deference to the wish of
President Dla?- to retire when trsn
qulltty was restored, the peace agree
ment be made lmmedl&te as his res
ignation Is expected within four or

The troops. It is provided, will be
disbanded proportionately as each

the revolution In many states ha*
been Incited by the opposition to the
governors the retention of armed
