By EDWARD W. PICKARD PERHAPS the greatest misfortune happen to Mexico at this time was the murder of Gen. Obregon. Quite aside from the helnousness of the crime, the assassination of the president-elec- t removed from the scene the strongest and most progressive of the republic's leaders, and not only threatened the country with renewal of the chaotic conditions that have held it back for many years, but also Imperiled the recently restored friendly relations with the government of the United States. The excellent work done by our ambassador, Dwlght Morrow, in the latter regard was given powerful aid by Obregon and his administration, which was to have been Installed on December 1, would have carried it on to the utmost Obregon was shot to death at a banquet in the fashionable resort of San Angel, 12 miles south of Mexico City, by a young man who has been identified as Jose de Leon Teral, an art student The assassin was arrested but refused to name bis accomplices cr the Instigators of the crime. A score of suspects were taken in custody. Alberto Crus was Immediately supplanted as minister of police by General Zertuche, one of Obregon's closest friends, and both be and President Calles promised that the murder would be cleared up and those guilty punished. In a signed statement Calles said the assassin had admitted that the motive of his crime was religious fervor, and the president added that the authorities had obtained much Information "Implicating directly clerical action." In conclusion, Calles said: "Finally I want to announce that the government will continue as heretofore within constitutional paths and with the requisite calmness and energy." This was taken to mean that he would not attempt to continue In office after November, as the Mexican constitution forbids direct succession of the president In two terms In office. However, that constitution has been altered before to fit circumstances and may be changed again. Despite the words of Calles, It is scarcely conceivable that the Catholic church In Mexico as an organization or any of its responsible members can have Instigated the murder of General Obregon. The relations between the church and the government had been steadily Improving, and Obregon, though pledged to carry on the policies of Calles, was looked to as the man to settle the trouble finally. The best guess at this time Is that the assassination was prompted by political who enemies of the prerident-elec- t d utilised a religious fanatic. Telegrams deploring the crime were tent by President Coolldge, Vice President Dawes and Secretary of State In Washington Ambassador Kellogg. Telle, though terribly shocked, said he was certain the tragedy would bring about the unification of all men In his country, sweeping away the disturbing and reactionary elements. He expected the old congress would be called In seralon to prepare for a special election. The permanent commission of congress already had been summoned to meet to consider the political situation. weak-minde- mourning Mexicans were the body of General Obregon to his native state of Sonors for burial, Americana were sending home, with all possible honors, the remain of Capt Emllio Carranza, the Mexican "good will" flyer who was killed when hie place crashed In New Jersey during a storm.

There the Democrats have organized with the avowed Intention of getting all the Democrats they can to vote for Hoover, and they are led by several men who have been rather prominent In the party In that state. They are making no attempt to defeat the state Democratic ticket, which disappoints some of the smaller fry who are disaffected. On the other hand there Is also in Texas a group of Republicans who are throwing what Influence they have to the Smith ticket In Asheville Blsflop Cannon of the Methodist church, South, gathered about 181 men and women to plan for the defeat of Smith In the Southern states. Nearly all the delegates were preachers of the Methodist church, South, or paid workers of church or were prohibition agencies. Slxty-sl- x from Buncombe county. North Carolina, of which Asheville is the county seat No Democratic party leaders were present and It was noticeable that the Baptists held aloot except for Dr. Arthur J. Barton, who was made chairman of the meeting. The press was excluded from the real sessions. Leaders of farmers' organizations In the corn belt still hope they can Induce the - agriculturists to oppose Hoover, and their meeting In Des Moines adopted a series of resolutions condemning the farm relief plank in the Republican platform and commending the plank Inserted In the Democratic platform. Most of those attending this meeting declared their Intention of supporting Smith, but there Is still . little reapon to believe that their stand will Induce very many farmers to change their political affiliations next November. The Iowa Republicans, large numbers of whom are corn belt farmers, held their state convention last week and unanimously Indorsed the Hoover and Curtis ticket and the Kansas City platform. Including Its farm relief plank. The state platform condemned Al Smith for "his attitude on nullification" of prohibition and alluded to "Tammany's effort to fasten upon the nation." Earlier in the day Governor Hammill of Iowa bad had a talk with Herbert Hoover on the letter's train, and he told the convention something of what the farmers might expect from Hoover If he were elected President Governor McMullen of. Nebraska also bad a chat with Mr. Hoover and afterward said the candidate bad a comprehensive understanding of the farm problem, but the governor did not seem to have been won over to Hoover's support President Coolldge was Hoover's host for a couple of days at the summer White House and they flrhed and talked politics together, after which Hoover resumed his trip to California. It was saddened by the news of the death of Mrs. Hoover's father, Charles D. Henry, In Placer, Calif.

Al could see nothing to worry about In the stories of Democratic revolt In Texas or elsewhere. The report that Smith had selected Owen D.

All the answers, It was believed, would be found satlsfnrtory by the American government. Approval had alrendy been given the pact by Germany, France, Italy and other nations, SECRETARY KELLOGG'S and that of Japan was considered eer tain. If the various reservations of some of the governments, which are not radical, can be accepted, the final success of the great plan to outlaw war seems virtually assured. The treaty Is to be signed during the coming fall by the principal powers and will go Ino effect with the deposit of the ratifications. It will remain open for signature by other nations. between Poland and PEACE is still an unaccomplished fact and it Is reported that Premier Waldemarae of Lithuania, relying on the support of Russia, is preparing to defy the League of Nations at the September meeting of the assembly or council of the League. The Poles have notified Sir Austen Chamberlain that they hold the League responsible for the existing state ot affairs and demand full support in whatever measures they may deem necessary. American members of the world court of arbitration at Geneva nominated Charles Evans Hughes for the vacancy created by the resignation of John Bassett Moore. Dr. Walter Simons is second choice for the place. Observers In Geneva were quite sure Mr. Hughes would be elected. ot e, of France.
