OWEN SPEAKS IN
LOR|MERS STATE
Oklahoma Senator Delivers Forceful
Exposition Of the Initiative And
Referendum at Springfield.

Springfield, ILL.,, Mar. 23.-Despite
threats and the prediction that he
would be interfered with by Lorimer
partisans in the Illinois legislature,
Robert Owen, senator from Oklahoma,
delivered lorceful exposition of the
initiative and referendum at public
meeting last night of the house judi
ciary committee. Senator Owen was
not interrupted and suffered no open
discourtesies, although several Lori
merities" did not attend the meeting.
Senator Owen was introduced by
Chairman Halliday. He said the ques-
tion of the initiative and referendum
| is a fight between organized greed
and the people. The time has come to
put an end to bribery and corruption
and to machine politics, he said.
1--WE understand the machine poll
tician," continued Senator Owen. He's
human, and he is much like ourselves.
He plays the game-and in addition
to hundreds of thousands of other am
bitious ones who would initiate and
follow these unjustly wealthy persons.
He then explained why he consid-
lers the initiative and referendum a
cure for this fault. He said the In
litiative and referendum was bound to
Irule and discussed the effect it would
have in making the citizens more in
Iterested and familiar with politics, and
more patriotic. He said the opposi-
ltion had given up the use of ridicule
in efforts to defeat the initiative and
referendum and was now resorting to
abuse and demand that the percent
age of voters to hold referendum cleo
, Itions be prohibitively high.
The initiative and referendum was
assailed as sabyerslve OF the founda
D Ition Of the representative government

Water power by turbine wheels is
FIRST choice.
Electric power, when it can be OBJ
tained reasonably, is second choice,
A cord of seasoned fir or tamarack
wood Is about equal in fuel value to
a ton Of Rock Springs coal.
1t requires about One pint of gaso-
line per horse power per hour in gaso-

mended for lifts much over 100 feet
Where centrifugal pumps are used
more power must be provided to dC
the same work than with plange

GREAT POLITICAL
CHANGE FORMING
Madero Has Increased His Force More
Than a Thousand Within the
Last Week.

Ell Paso, Tex, Mar. 23-Notwith-
standing reports from Mexico City to
the contrary, it is the view Of insur-
recto leaders here that Senior Liman-
tours conferences with President Diaz
are expected to have important results
looking toward peace in Mexico. They
an object in concealing his mission
to Mexico and that in reality great
political changes are in formation un-
der terms partly agreeable to the in
surrectos. What the insurrectos fear
is that the reforms will be only par
tial, yet enough to induce many hun
dreds now in revolt to lay down their
arms without achieving complete
success and without the retirement of
President Diaz.
A message received yesterday is said
to be confrmatory Of previous tele-
gram from Gustavo A. Madero, the
financial agent in New York, that
'Limantour had promised an entire
change of politics in Mexiao"
we now nnelieve Limantour all
along has had plans which he was un-
able to divulge and which he at
tempted TO conceal by rather un-
tactful and antagonistin attitude to-
ward u.s. said Senor Gonzales Cara,
the insurrecto secretary Of state. eve
think he will offer proposal by which
he hopes to end the war. Our de.
mands for the retirement Of Diaz and
the maintenance OF our arms until
peace Is assured are the stumbling
blocks On which we are Unwilling to
yield. Without an armed truce it is
folly to talk Of peace"
Meantime conditions in the wal
afflicted parts OF northern Mexico ar,
rapily growing worse. From north o
Chihuahua City, 225 miles to the bor
4 der and westward into Sonora state
the insurrectos are surrounding tn
towns with a view to induce noncom
batants to join their rsAks and to kee
supplies from being taken from tn
country. Refugees who are reachin
the border declare many noncomba
ants are facing starvation. An Anne
icah con#ected with mine nea
Casas Gfandes said:
I'm a few weeks, instead of sendin
troops into Mexico, the United State
will probably have to send reli'
trains. The position of the non-cor
batants is rapidly becoming like th'
Of the 'reconcentrados' during Il
Cuban insurrection."
Within the last week Francisco
Madero, the revolutionary presider
is said to have increased his for
from 1000 to 1900 men, all we'll su
piled with ammunition. He is report
to be operating to prevent Genei
Rabago from relieving the fedel
forces who are besieged at Cas-
Grandes.
