Washington, Feb. GA feeling of
anxiety over the situation in Mexico
continued thruout official circles during
the early part of the day but there
were no additional dispatches made
public to throw further light on condi-
tions existing. 1t was felt that AM
bassador Wilson'S message late last
night stating that the diplomatic corps
would not attend the luncheon to be
given thi snoon to discuss the situa-
ton, would prove a sufficient indication
10 the Mexican authorities of the pur-
pose Of this and other governments to
await definite assurances that the
bloody tragedies Just enacted had not
occurred thru any conntvance OF the
administration.

Huerta and De La Barra. yet assur-

DISCUSSES PREFERENTIAL
SYSTEM OF VOTING

In answer to query from Prof.
W. A. Bryan, of the College of Ha-
wall, City Attorney Henry Topper, of
Grand Junction, Colo, has written an
interesting letter concerning the new
preferential election system used in
that and a number of other mainland
cities in connection with the commits
sion form of municipal government
He highly recommends the prefercn-
tial election, explaining how it may
often eliminate the expense of a sec
Ond election, at the same time reduc-
ing the power of party and machine
politics in local affairs
The preferential method provides
that in case any candidate, at prl-
mary, receives majority Of all the
ballots cast he shall be declared elect
ed. regardless of the number of other
dSpirantS in the field. Mr.. Topper
explains that tho system is IN FOgu"
at Pueblo, Colo; Spokane, WASH, ana
Duluth, Mimi. Its chief opponents are
those who have formerly been able to
control elections by machine methods.
He adds that efforts are under way to
obtain the commission government in
Denver, and believes that within
twenty-five. years most OF the larger
cities will be using the preferential
system of voting.
