THOSE UNPLEDGED BALLOTS.

As n matter Of law, Judge kittrcll may
Rave been entirely correct ia his decision
Lat the omission of the pledge on bal
lots voted I'm the democratic primaries

lots thus east. Ii would be- hardly more
than natural, however. that a contestant
in a close election should cndeavor To-
have such ballots eliminated from the
final count of the votes east in such clcs
ton. Very probably either candidate in
an election who found himself counted
nut OH such ballots. ia view Of the fact
that the party pledge 10 support the no
minees of the primary has always been
held obligatory hitherto. would make a
similar endcavor Ia have such votes
eliminated.
Thus, while it appears true beyond the
least doubt that Mr.. Mcleinore actually
received the majority Of the votes east in
the democratic primaries MS the second
party nominee for congressman at large.

In any event. the decision should settle
a question which has been more or less

whether the pledge nj the ballot is act

compel a man Ia vote for a candidate
even though he be fully convinced that
such candidate was altogether unwor-
thy. Many have contcndcd that il does
not, and there is no doubt that many who
are good and true men have scratched
the names of nominees from ballots voted
by them. even though such candidates
were regularly nominated by their par.
y primaries. As the matter stands now.
Imposing that Judge Kittrell's decision

been appointed to take charge of
the affairs OF the Planters State
Bank, from which Ingram Crockett
recently resigned between $50, 200
and $4,000 short, dropped dead in
the bank this afternoon.
The recent strain of Strengthening
out the tangled accounts is believed
to have contributed to his death.
He had been in III health for
some time and the fatal attack came
as he was finishing the days. work.
He sank to the floor and was dead
before medical aid could be sum-
moned.
When the cashier suddenly left
the bank and his accounts were
found TO be in q tangled condition,
Mr.. GeibeI was selected to- take
the helm and straighten out his al
fairs. Although in an enfeebled
condition. he agreed to DO SO, and
applied himself diligently to the
task. For several days he had
shown signs of "a breakdown but re-
fused to give up the work, and the
collapse yesterday was not unex-
pected, although his condition was
not believed to have been so serious.

BY Congress, Amid Roar
Of Applause.
NATIONS CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Says the Time For Drastic
Action In Mexico Is
Now At Hand.
NOT TO BE WAR WITH MEXICO

Washington. April 2O.-President
Wilson to-day, answered Huerta S
defiance by asking Congress. as
sembled in joint session, for APPROX
al to use the armed forces of the
United States in such ways and to
such extent as may be necessary to
obtain from Gen. Huerta and his
adherents the fullest recognition OF
the rights and dignity of the United
States
The President did not ask for any
appropriation of money at this time,
nor Tor authority to Gail out the Ma
tional Guard.
There can be no thought of ag-
gression or of selfish aggrandize-
ment." declared the President to the
sober-faced throng of Senators and
Representatives which packed the
hall of the House, t
This Government can. I earnest
ly hope, i'm no circumstances be
forced into war with the people of
Mexico. If armed conflict should
unhappily come as the result of his
(Huerta's) attitude OF personal re-
sentiment toward this Government.
we should be fighting only Gen. HUI
erta and those who adhere to him
and give him support. and our OBJ
ject would be only to restore TO the
people of the distracted Republic
the opportunity to set up again
their own laws and their own gov
eminent.
There can, in what we do, be no
thought of aggression or selfish ag-
grandiZement. We seek to main
tain the dignity Ind authority of
the United States only because we
wish always to keep our great infu-
ence unimpaired for the uses of lib
erty. both in the United States and
wherever else 1t may be employed
for the benefit of manykind."
Just as soon as the joint session
had dissolved. this resolution was
introduced in the House;
"A joint resolution justifying the
of the armed forces of
the United States in enforcing GER
tain demands against Vfctoriano
Huerta:
Resolved, by the Senate and
House of Representatives in Con-
gress assembled. That ;he President
of the United States is justified in
the employment of the armed forces
of the United States to enforce the
demands upon Victoriana Huerta
for unequivocal amends to the Gov
eminent OF the United States for af-
fronts and indignities committed
against this Government by Gen.
fIuerta and his representatives"
1t Was exactly 3 o'clock when
President Wilson delivered his ad-
dress. The President finished read
ing his address at 3:l2 o'clock and
left the chamber amid roar of APP
plause and cheers.
