ACTION OF j. s.
AROUSES MEXICO
Lower Classes Angered by Mica
ragua Intervention.
STANDARD OIL is ACCUSED
InfIammatory Papers Engender Bitter
Feeling Against Americans
Charge That Trust Is Back
ing Zapata Revolution.

Mexico City, Sept. 6. = Feeling
against Americans is high among low
er classes here on account of the land
ing of marines in Nicaragua. The in
fiammatory papers, Multi Color, Ell
Paladin and others among the week
lies, and Ell Pals, an influential daily
of large circulation, are doing all they
can to arouse the peon class against
the Americans. In a long first page
story Ell Pals declares that the Stand
ard Oil company fomented the Oroz-
co revolution and is aiding Zapata in
order to depreciate the stocks of the
national railways and to injure the
credit of Mexico
Multi Color an influential political
weekly, says:
"The cowardly Americans have
dared to land marines in Nicaragua,
because our sister republic is a weak
nation, but they do not dare to inter-
vene in Mexico"
Everywhere on the street one hears
the expression "Cowardly Americans"
banded from lip, to lip among the
lower classes who, since the over
throw of Diaz, have become arrogant
beyond endurance. They faunt their
half clothed, unbathed persons up and
down the principal streets of the city
and have so terrorized the police that
it is difficult to secure an arrest.
The action of the United States in
Nicaragua, while better understood in
Mexican official circles, also has Gre
ated a bad impression here. Hun
dreds of Americans are coming here
from southern Mexico, driven in by
the atrocities of Zapata, while scores
are leaving for the United States al
most every night.
Ell Paso, Tex, Sept. 5.-Cavalrymen
were hurried from Fort Clark to
Preside, Tex, to maintain order
among 400 Mexican refugees who fed
from Ojinaga when rebels took that
town. The Mexican consul here says
he has been instructed that his peo-
pie be supplied with food.
There is threatened at Ojinaga a
battle that would expose Preside to
the bullets of the combatants. A
brigade of Mexican federal cavalry
has been sent from Chihuahua to en-
gage the Ojinaga rebels
Cananea, Mexico, Sept 5.-Rebels
and federals engaged in a battle at
Baucochi, according to advices here.
Rebels dynamited the barracks, kill
ing two federals and wounding seven.
The rebel loss was not stated.

Milwaukee, Sept. 5.-Judge ]. G.
Karel defeated A. j. Schmitz for the
democratic nomination at Tuesdays
state primary
The returns are very incomplete,
but estimates based on partial re-
turns seem to put Karels nomination
beyond doubt by majority of 20,-
600 to $4,000. The vote is apparent
ly the largest ever polled by the dem
ocrats at state primary in Wiscon-
sin.
Counties carried by Karel include
Adams, Ashland, Bayfield,, Brown,
Chippewa, Columbia, Dane, Dodge,
Douglas, Eau Claire, Fond du Lac,
Iowa, Jefferson, Kenosha, Milwaukee,
Monroe, Ozaukee, Rock, Sheboygan,
Washington, Waukesha, Racine and
Wood.
Among the counties carried by
Schmitz were Buffalo, Green
Lake, La Crosse, Manitowoc, Mr..
Schmitz's former home, Outagamie
and Winnebago.
In Milwaukee county, Karel wins
For lieutenant-governor on the
democratic ticket Harry Bolens de-
feats H. A. Moehlenpah, and Andrew
P. Kealy is nominated for secretary
of state without opposition. For
state treasurer and attorney general,
the returns, while not conclusive,
point to the nomination of G. J.
Leonard for treasurer and John F.
Doherty for attorney general
On the republican ticket Gov. Nc
Govern and Lieut.-Gov. Morris were
renominated without opposition.
John S. Donald of Dane was unop-
posed for secretary of state. For
state treasurer Henry Johnson, now
assistant state treasurer, appears to
have defeated Henry Krumrey; and
Walter G. Owen to have defeated
Philip Lehner for attorney general.
There are no contests for nominal
lions on the state social democratic
and prohibition tickets Returns
from this county, with fifty-three pre-
cincts missing, show that Thompson,
social democratic candidate for gov
ernor, has 6,573 votes and Hill, pro-
hibitionist, 148. The same precincts
give Karel 10,478; Schmitz, $3.50,
and McGovern ATS.
The complete returns may change
the result on the republican ticket
for state treasurer, where Henry
Krumrey opposed Johnson, who
leads, on the returns received. So
also on the democratic ticket it can
not be said positively that Nicholas
Schmidt has defeated G. j. Leonhardt
although he is leading on the returns
received.

REPUBLICANS LOSE
VOTES IN VERMONT
Only Six Small Towns Are Yet to
Report.
LEGISLATURE is TO CHOOSE
Latest Returns Give Fletcher (Rep.),
for Governor, 1851; Howe
(Dem.), 1877, and Metzger
(Pro), 1886.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. s.
The full report of the balloting in
Tuesdays state election in Vermont
was compiled without altering to any
material degree the general figures
as indicated by the early returns
The unofficial total vote for COVER
nor reached 65,O33, the largest IN
state election in a presidential year
since 1904 There was no election by
the people, but a sufficient nun Der of
Republican members of the legislature
were chosen to insure the seating of
Allen NJ. Fletcher in October. The
total vote of the state was:
Allen NJ. Fletcher (Republican), 26,-
259.
Harlan B. Howe (Democrat), 20,35O.
Rev. Frazer Metzger (Progressive),
$500.
Clement F. Smith (Prohibition)
1,443.
Fred W. Suitor (Socialist), 1,181.
Returns for senators and represen-
tatives from three-quarters of the cit
les and towns showed that the Repub-
leans will have no difficulty in seat
ing their candidates for governor and
other state officers. The senate will
contain twenty-six Republicans and
four Democrats and Progressive flu
siOnists, and the house will have
176 Republicans, forty-six Democrats
and twenty-four progressives, or sixty
six Republicans more than the neces-
sary majority to elect state officers
on joint ballot Congressman Greene
and Plumley, Republicans, are re-
elected by large majorities.
Democrats and Progressive leaders
both say the presidential election in
Vermont in November will be stub
bornly contested
Mr.. Fletcher, the Republican candi-
date for governor, refused to comment
on the result Mr. Howe, the Demo
cratic candidate, said: 81 am very
much pleased with the returns and the
support given the ticket throughout
the state"
Rev. Frazer Metzger, nominee for
the Progressive party, said: Il be-
heVe that the forcing of the election
Of governor into the legislature con-
stitutes a barometer of the vote of
the national ticket of the Progressive
party. l am delighted with the vote

Strength of the Progressive party
in its first lineup against the older
parties and the disappearance Of the
Republican majority for the first time
in ten years and the first time IN the
history Of the state in presidential
year were the features of the cleo
ton.
For many years political students
have pointed out that any decrease IN
the Republican majority in Vermont
In September below normal of $4,000
has been followed almost invariably
by the party defeat in the presidential
fight in November. These maJor1ties,
which have averaged close to 3O'O0O
In all the state elections in Vermont
in presidential years since 1892, were
represented by small plurality. The
Republican loss apparently went IN
a great degree to the ProgresslVes
and to a somewhat lesser extent TO
the Democrats.
