above took place. The committee again adjourned at p. m. until 8 o'clock Tuesday morning when it an- nounced that it was ready to hear the charges
 In lengthy statement following the meeting Hal L. Norwood said
 Party Is on Trial.
 The Democratic party is on trial The friends of Judge Hays are in the majority on the committee. We sub mitted to the committee a proposition which would have demonstrated whether the claims of fraud were well founded and which could have been determined in time to certify nomi- nee, but the majority of the committee has shown no disposition to aid the contestant in sincere investigation. We shall not surrender Colonel Brun- | didge's rights because his opponents are using the steam roller but we shall contend for his rights and if the Democratic party does not have a nominee at the coming election, it will be the fault of the parties who refuse to meet us half way and to comply with a reasonable request made under the law.''

Western Newspaper Union News Service. Little Rock.-The Democratic State Central Committee did not take kindly to the contest of Hon. Stephen Brun- didge and emphatically rejected every proposition advanced by the Searcy- ans supporters. When the committee met on Monday it found itself con- tronted with mandatory injunction secured by Col. Bruididge early Mon | Court ordering aid directing the com mittee to investigate Col. Brundidge's s charges of fraud and restraining the committee from declaring the nominee until after it had heard the evidence | and decided the contest according to law.
 This injunction was the only point scored by Col Brundidge during the day. He had sprung a complete sur. prise on the Hays forces Saturday by serving on Judge Hays official notice of his intended action as follows
 Honorable George w. Hays: You are hereby respectfully notified that the undersigned will present to the Honorable John Martineau, chancellor l of the First Chancery district of Ark ansas, at chambers, at the hour of g | o'clock on Monday, the 30th day of June, 1913, petition for mandatory injunction to direct and compel the Democratic Central Committee of the state of Arkansac fo hoar opd do+ar mine a contest upon the returns of the primary election held in this state for the nomination of the office of gov. ernor by the Democratic party on the 21st day of June, 1913, which said con- test will by me be filed before said committee on said Monday the 30th day of June, 1913,
 Respectfully,
 (Signed) IS. Brundidge.

 Col. Brundidge was said to have de cided on this course as result of ru- mors in circulation that an effort would be made before the State Cen tral Committee to table his contest pe- tition
 Political Events Unusual. The political events of the day were unusual. Two divided wings of the Democratic party appeared before the State Central Committee demanding that this high party tribunal decide which was right. Bitter words were ] who rfx hitherto had been unquestioned, to men whose Democracy never had been attacked.
 But through the exciting events of the day, it was seen that Judge Hays supporters dominated the committee, and the Camden jurist won every point left to that tribunal to decide
 Neither Judge Hays nor Mir. Brun- didge appeared in person before the committee throughout the day of stub born fighting, but the interests of each were guarded zealously by men who worked for them at the polls be. fore bitterness entered the party ranks.
 A resolution offered early in the committee meeting by w. F. Coleman of Pine Bluff, the. floor leader of the Hays forces, resulted in stubborn fight, which lasted throughout a long, sultry afternoon. The Hays men fought for the adoption of the resolu, ton and won. The Brundidge men fought it every inch of the way and lost.
 The Coleman resolution was as fol lows:
 Whereas, The election law requires that this committee certify the name of the nominee 20 days before the 23d day of July, 1913, and

Defends Huerta

Kansas city, October 27.-Defense of
Provisional President Huerta's admins
traton In Mexico and denial that the
Mexican executive had share in the
murder of former President Madero and
Vice President Suarez, was made by the
Rev. John Rowland, of GuadalajaTa,
Mexico, missionary, in an address be-
fore the annual meeting of the American
board of commissioners for foreign mis-
sions held in connection with the Ma
tionai Council of the Congregational
churches here today
He also paid a strong tribute to the
rule of Porfirio Diaz as worthy of the
epigram:
He made a nation and destroyed a.
people,
DR. Rowland has lived for about 81
years in Mexico as head of the Collegio
International at Guadalajara.
THE widespread idea that General
Huerta seized the presidency" he said,
''or that he came in through the door Of
assassination, is entirely incorrect. His
acceptance of the provisional presidency
precluded his being a candidate in the
present election and his government was
established de facto and popularly ac-
cepted as in the days of Madero.
'Huerta had nothing to gain by Mad
eros death. President Madero left the
treasury bankrupt and revenues were i'm
mensely reduced by the closing of the
most of the ports of entry, the interrupt
ton of traffic and general disturbance.
1.-THE hostile attitude of American au-
thorities against Genera Huerta caused
the bankers who had arranged a large
loan to delay the proposed payments and
this has greatly impeded the pacification
of the country. Mexico SHOULD be left
alone. II Is well able to take care of it.
