Plans for a Presidential Primary
Are Discussed by the Democrats.

The trust question was discussed DUR
ing the meeting and some differences of
opinion arose between Secretary Redfield
and Mr.. Brandeis as to the best method
of dealing with combines. Mr.. Brandeis
insisted that his long advocated method
of vigorous prosecution was best, while
Secretary Redfeld held that the party
should not proceed too rapidly in this
work for fear it might disturb business
conditions.
He said that the trusts seemed to be
beginning to realize that they would have
to come into line and that they might be
brought under proper control without
taking any chances of upsetting general
business conditions
Opposition to Presidential preference
primaries, Mr.. Folk told the club, had
been due largely to belief that it would
interfere with the rights of the states
to regulate and conduct their own cleo
tions." For this reason he said he was
for the state plan.

UNITED STATES KEEPING
IN TOUCH WITH MEXICO.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Frequent ex-
changes and conferences between
the ambassadors and ministers in
Washington are tending to unite
them upon a line of conduct re-
garding Mexico. which, while conform
ing to the plans of the United States,
involves an understanding as to OBJ
legations the American government
will be expected to assume as the
result of non-interference by foreign
powers.
So far this common understanding
has not taken the form of direct pres
sure, but the state department is kept
informed through the medium of in
dividual representations and in con-
versations, dealing broadly with the
Mexican trouble of the expectations
of the European Powers.
Generally these relate to the protec-
ton of the vast financial interests
which citizens and subjects of the
Powers have in Mexico, no disposition
being exhibited of an intention to
bring in the political side of the ques-
ton.
In fact, more than one of the dip
lematie representatives here has in
formed the department that his own
government was interested in prevent
ing loss of large material interest to
its citizens and beyond that did not
care what the United States did in
Mexico so long as it was informed
in time of what was to be done so
that it might take proper precautions
for the protection of the lives of its
citizens,
