Ell PASO, Tex, May 14.-Gen. Huerta,
commander of the federal troops. with
headquarters at Conejos. recently aban-
doned by the rebels. today ordered an
advance on the main body OF the Orozco
army gathered at Escalon and Rellano
These points are about 400 miles south
of the American border, on the Mexican
Central railroad
Advices from Huerta's camp were that
the federal forces would press forward
to follow up the decisive advantage
gained in the fighting Sunday, and that
battle may be expected early tomor-
row.
The rebels have had nearly forty
eight hours in which to recover them
selves from the defeat administered by
Huerta's command, through the su-
periority of his artillery. and last re-
ports from insurrecto headquarters
were that Orozco was confident Of hold
ing the positions now occupied by his
men in the hills of Rellano.
Rebels Capture Mapimi.
JUAREZ, Mexico. May 14.-Rebel
officials here were informed today OF
the capture of Mapimi by the insur-
rectos under Col. Canalels.
Confirmation Of this report would indi-
cate Orozco's success was accomplished
fully in the flank movement to the SOUTH
west of Conojos, begun Sunday, to check
the federal advance.
BY worrying the government forces in
the vicinity Of Mapimi. Orozco hoped to
divert large part of Huerta's brigade
southwark. The federal garrisons at Ber-
mejillo and Mapimi were reported to be
small, and detachment of insurrectos in
that vicinity later may harass even the
federal base at Torreon.
Francisco Pradillo. who ten days ago
went to San Antonio. Tex, as an al
legged envoy of Orozco and brought
Emilio Vasquez Gomez here. was locked
up late last night. Early today he was
sent southwark in custody to Chihuahua.
Jose Cordova, secretary of state Of Chi
huahua, who came north to explain the
mix-up over the assumption Of the pro-
visional presidency by Gomez. attributes
the confusion to the overzealousness OF
Pradillo.

Row in Maryland Republican
Convention Indicated.
ROOSEVELT MEN FESTIVE
Not Inclined to Accept Agreement
of the Leaders.
SPLIT DELEGATION PLANNED
Vote Will Be Cast for Roosevelt at
Chicago-Platform Proposed In
dorses Both Candidates.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
BALTIMORE, Md, May 14.-With the
Taft organization in absolute control. the
republican state convention was called to
order at ] 30 pm. today in Albaugh's The
ater by state Chairman John r. Hanna
Although sixty-six. a bare majority of
the 129 delegates, were bound by the popu-
lar preference to vote for delegates to the
national convention who should favor the
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt, a still
larger majority of these state delegates,
estimated by the Taft men as seventy
eight personally were Taft sympathizers
and numerically these were able to con-
troll the convention.
AS the Roosevelt followers did not
seem inclined to accept the delegate plan
of the organization, the indications were
that lively fight would follow this aft
ernoon.
The two wings of the party were in
conference until an early hour this morn
ing and the mood of the convention will
depend largely upon whether the dele
gates Will agree To follow the slate
mapped out by the Taft and the Roose-
welt leaders This slate was adopted
after hours of conferring and when the
away and hold convention of their own,
this to be followed by contest before the
national committee.
On the part of the state leaders who
handled the Taft fight the slate is a prac-
teal compromise, as by it the Roosevelt
men are given half of the sixteen MEM
bers of the national delegation
Roosevelt Will Get the Votes.
Whatever the personnel of the delesa-
ton elected the members will vote in the
national convention for Theodore Roose-
Welt. following the instruction of the
Maryland republican voters, as expressed
in the primaries. The real fight, however,
is upon the personnel Of the delegation
whether men who are personally at heart
for Taft shall control the delegation or
whether Roosevelt men shall have the
upper hand.
Gov Goldsborough jumped in to the
breach last night at the Rennert Hotel
and began a series Of conferences which
finally brought about a compromise slate
whicS vas adopted in the early morning
hours.
By the compromise the reelection OF
William P Jackson as the national COM
mitteeman from Maryland was assured.
Half a dozen times last night and this
morning the opposing leaders parted with
indications that an agreement had been
reached as to the delegation, but each
time the trouble broke out afresh.

Possible Trouble in Convention.

1t Is also possible that one or the other
of the factions may start trouble again
on the floor of the convention. If the kick
should come from the Roosevelt side the
Taft people will probably break off all
negotiations and will force the fight to be
made on the floor. where they will de-
pend upon their majority of delegates to
control the situation.
The slate agreed upon was made up
only after Messrs. Jackson and Hanna
ard Representative Parran had announced
that they would not be candidates either
big four.

TAFT'S ACHIEVEMENTS.

Stand by the constitution, stand by
the rights of liberty and property OF
the individual, and be willing to face
defeat many times in behalf of the
cause of sound constitutional govern
ment-this was the message Presi-
dent Taft gave to the republican party
in his Cleveland speech. The president
urged the republican party to stand
by it's guns and rest confident that it
has carried out the pledges it made
to the people of the United States.
President Taft reviewed some of the
achievements of his administration.
The interstate commerce act has been
strengthened 80 that life and effect
have been given to orders of the inter-
state commerce commission, with the
result that railroads cannot minimize
or ignore them" During the Taft adj
ministration congress has enacted Il
safety appliance law; an employers
liability law that was sustained by
the supreme court; authorized work.
mems compensation commissions:
created the postal savings bank; Sc
cured the final report of the national
monetary commission on a plan en-
dorsed by the leading financial author
tiles for improving the currency sys-
tenn and minimizing the danger OF
financial panics. In addition to solv-
ing the railroad rate question by
Strengthening the arms of the inter-
state commerce commission, the adj
ministration by rigid enforcement CT
the antitrust laws has brought bust
ness to realize that it must conform to
this law. And the president has rec
commended to congress supplementary
legislation that will further strengthen
the antitrust act.
The republicans have every reason
to stand by their guns and go into the
coming campaign on the record made
by the administration President
Taft has given an honest, able and
courageous administration. If he has
gained unpopularity from any quarter
it is because he has taken up one at a
time the big unsettled issues that have
been before the people and settled

troll is good for the county, solid re-
publican control is bad for the town.
Under such circumstances the repub-
licans of Denison will doubtless accept
their responsibilities like responsible
men and get together and nominate
ticket of representative republicans
who can and will receive the unani-
nous and triumphant support OF the
republican voters of Denison. Let it
be understood that the Review will
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
Bulletin for non-partisan county and
city elections, but it will not be will
ing party to a one-sided proposition
which would rob the republicans OF
what little power they have and leave
democracy in complete control of the
county government. What is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Should the Bulletin, and the demo-
Gratis as whole, reject this eminent
ly fair proposition which would give
the republicans at least minority
representation on the board of super
visors, there would seem to be nothing
left for the republicans Of Denison
but to get together and to prove by
wise and united action that republi-
canism is not failure, that the party
can give good government in the city
of Denison just as it has in the United
States. We believe it is up to the re-
publicans of Denison to give the city
good government. We believe further
that as whole the government OF
Denison has been as good as that of
other municipalities. Certainly the
vicious squabbling in Des Moines is no
attraction for any community to eX-
change partisan control for such non
craftsmanship as Des Moines displays.
Certainly the republicans of Deniscn
cannot be expected to accept any jug
handle proposition and we trust that
the Bulletin will have the honesty, the
fairness and the bravery to come for
ward with a proposition which will
mean non-partisanship in the county
as we'll as in the town and bring an
era of good feeling and unanimity to
all.

SIC sEMPER.

The Review does not intend to harp
upon one string continually. Hereaf-
ter it shall have but little to say as to
the Cummins candidacy, but shall de-
vote portion of it's time to the much
more agreeable task of pointing out
the many good reasons why the presi-
dent should be re-nominated by the
republicans and reelected by the peo-
pie. We are glad that Cummins an,
nounced his candidacy. 1t has I'M
masked the man. 1t has allowed the
many to see him just as some have
seen him for many years, as vain,
ambitious, headstrong man, with no
regard for personal or political obi
cations and no concern for the vel
fare of anyone but himself. We be-
lieve he has killed the Iowa goose that
has laid so many golden eggs. His
candidacy, sired by Ambition and
damned by Treachery, has met mon
grels fate. Despite the garbled re-
ports of Washington correspondents,
whose business it is to draw out of
the Cummins announce
ment has met with absolutely no re-
spouse from any state in the union,
outside of Iowa. No Cummins clubs
have been formed, no congressional
district has proclaimed, not single

lag to il mast head. 1t must be that

A NON-PARTISAN MOVEMENT.

The Bulletin has made it's annual
announcement in favor of non-parti-
san city elections We agree with
the Bulletin in many of it's state
ments. 1t is a fact that the affairs of
the city have little or nothing to do
with politics, especially with politics
of the higher sort. 1t is true that we
need good men, capable business men
to conduct the affairs of the munich
patty on business and common
sense basis. 1t is also true that the
conduct of the city government has
not always been of the best and most
satisfactory character 1t is pleas
ure for us to be able to agree with
the Bulletin, and we hereby propose
that the Denison papers shall join
hands and urge a non-partisan cleo
ton for city officers, providing that
the Bulletin shall join with the Re-
view in urging non-partisan election
for county officers. Every reason
which the Bulletin advances for non
partisanship relative to the city ap-
plies with equal force to the county.
ne dues of the supervisors CORE
spond almost exactly with the duties
of the councilmen; the duties of the
county officers correspond in every
way to the duties of the officers of
the town. None of them, in the right
full conduct of their offices, have any
thing to do with political measures.
If it is urged that non-partisanship
should control in the election of, city
council, exactly the same reasoning
will bring the voter to the beneficial
results of a non-partisan board of
supervisors. 1t is only fair to pre-
sumo that the Bulletin is actuated by
high motives, that it has a desire to
be consistent and logical, that it seeks
no mere partisan advantage and that
it will be glad to extend its propa-
ganda for non-partisan government to
include the more important affairs of
the county as well as those of the
town.
OF course, unless the Bulletin is
prepared to show it's good faith, it will
be hard to convince the republicans
that they should surrender one of their
few strongholds in the county and
thus confess that they are failures
and that while solid democratic con-

the president brings this question
nearer solution than it ever has been
before 1t provides means for bas-
ing tariff revisions on accurate facts
gathered by non-partisan body of in
vestigators.
The railroad problem is no longer
a problem. The supervisor over this
industry of the interstate commerce
commission has guaranteed the ship
pers, the general public and the rail
roads themselves square deal.
More progress has been made in
the solution of the trust problem dur
ing the Taft administration than in all
the years that it has been before the
people. And the experience gained by
the president and his attorney general
in the enforcement of the Sherman
antitrust law has formed the basis for
recommendations that will make this
law greater force in bringing about
square deal between the trusts and
the people.
Nearly all of the criticisms of Presi-
dent Taft are prefaced with the state
ment that he has made so many mis-
takes" From these critics the Cour-
Ter would ask a bill of particulars.
Name some of the presidents mis-
takes; name one of them. What some
people consider his mistake is that he
is honest, thoroughly honest and cour
ageous enough to do the thing he
thinks is right regardless of whether
it is expedient from political sense.

graph wrong and that it was the polit-
ical earthquake in China which he mis-
took for presidential boom. The net
results TO date have been to disap-
point and dishearten the La Toilette
candidacy, to divide insurgency in the
senate, to show to the country the
anarchistic state of the whole insur-
gent camp and to emphasize that it
has not the cohesive strength or unity
of purpose which would make it safe
to entrust it with the reins of govern
ment. Further, it has placed Iowa in
a false light Placed in an attitude
of treachery to La Toilette and of op-
position to Taft, it sits, unique and
alone, toying with it's tin foil presi-
dental candidate like a spoiled baby
hugging it's old rag doll.
1t is reported that La Toilette has
practically withdrawn from the con
test, heart broken, not by the opposi-
ton which he expected, but by the
false friends who urged him into a
contest only to desert him when they
they thought there was chance Cor
themselves. Congressman Norris, Of
Nebraska, tells how the insurgents
ta"cused together, how they decided
tha, they must unite upon some one
candidate, how they sent delegations
to Roosevelt, only to be repulsed
how they offered the leadership to
Cummins and how LaFollette pledged
to Cummins his heartiest support, how
Cummins refused to lead the forlorn
hope and how La Toilette was finally
persuaded to announce his candidacy
and make the fight.
Mr. Norris says that after all that
happened he feels himself in honor
bound to stay by La Toilette to the
end, be it bitter or be it sweet. What
obligation of honor has Mr.. Norris
that Mr.. Cummins did not have? Was
not the obligation much stronger
with Cummins because he was ten.
dered the support of La Toilette and
the other insurgents and rejected it
and urged La Toilette to be the candi-
date instead?
| 1t is needless to say that the Cum
Minis candidacy has not appealed to
the old-line republicans of Iowa. They
knew him of old and their distrust
was deep seated and irrevocable.
More than this, however, the "feet OF
clay" have become at last apparent
to his many followers. The progress
ives of the Kenyon type, who recog-
nized the greatness and fairness OF
the president must be disguised with
the senior senator's ambition. The
ultra.insurgents, who have seen their
only hope of success frittered away
by the dog in the manger, must also
be bitterly disappointed and disil'
lusioned. Within six weeks the con-
test will be over and President Taft
will be the only candidate before the
republicans of the nation. We would
advise the Des Moines ad club to
make the most of their local, strictly
local, candidate now. Iowa may be
foolish enough to endorse Mr.. Cum.
Minis, it may be even foolish enough
to cast some of it's votes for him in
the convention, but if it does it will
be as aloof and lonely as stray
iceberg floating in placid summer
sea.
