1T is expected within a few months a
new Venezuelan ruler will replace
President Castro, an object which the
state department. Holland, Colombia
and the Venezuelan malcontents have
every confidence OF accomplishing.
Money Is Pouring In.
Plans have already been begun for
inauguratlng the revolution Finan-
clal backing is not lacking. as money
il pouring In from New York. as well
as from other sources. The amount
available to perfect the revolutionists'
Plan may run up into the millions.
The leader in the plan has been
busily engaged In mapping out his
campaign for weeks. His FIST step
was to consult the state department.
and he learned from both Secretary
Root and Mr.. Bacon that while the
United States government could not
support a revolutionary movement.
al the same time conditions In Vene-
zuela were such that no Interference
By the United States need be antici-
pated. As Venezuelan affairs waxed
warmer the state department was
again sounded by the revolutionary
planners and the present status Is
that Secretary Root Is Wiling to let
President Castro work out his own
salvation aud will. in fact. lend as
much moral support as possible to
those who are planting 10 overthrow
him.
Holland has been informed Of the
move and will aid by blockading
Venezuelan ports while the Nand at
tack begins along the Arauca river
on the Colombia border. For this
reason the state department expects
no drastic action on the part OF Hol-
and. until the time comes to strike

Work Is Divided.

Colombia will willingly help by
providing men who are as anxious to
overthrow Castro as some of the vene
zuelans themselves. From Venezuela
and Colombia will be drawn the men
who are to do the fighting. while the
United states will provide the money
and several leaders. leaving Holland
to carry out the naval part Of the
program.
A man who has been consulted by
the revolutionary leader and who Is
in touch with the state departments
desines in the coming campaign said;
The movement is well under way
and there is no doubt that action will
be started directly after the rainy
season in Venezuela. The state de-
partment has consulted with the
leader several times and knows all
about the plans. Holland also has
been advised and viii, understand
help by bockading the ports. The
time is not ripe. however. to go into
details. which will become known In

DUE EARLY NEXT WEEK
County Chairman Stricken is For

County Chairman Joseph e.
Stricken said this morning that he
woull call the primaries for the
Democratic State Convention, which
will be held at Trenton April 2S, for
the early part of next week
Mr.. Stricken says that the reason
he has not called them before is due
to the fact that he has been very
busy and has not had time to give
the matter his attention. The prim-
aries are for the purpose of electing
delegates to the State convention.
Just who will be named cannot be
learned as the leaders say that no
slate has been made out.
At the State convention, delegates
to the National Convention which
will be held at Denver in July will be
named. Mr.. Stricken aspires to be
one of the deegates from this district,
but he will GO to Denver whether
chosen as delegate or not.
The republican primaries will be
he'd on April 2S and the State con-
vention at Trenton on May 8.
