Who Is
w. F. Stevenson

Mr.. w. F. Stevenson, candi-
date for congress, was the person
to have credit for the completion
of Our State House. The advo-
Gates of the bill providing for
that were beaten by the econ
omists in the house because it
would increase taxes. He came
forward with the proposition and
let the State borrow money from
the Sinking Fund Commisson
and repay it at $4,000 a year.
Build it and pay for it on the
installment plan.
The News & Courier says,
referring to the apparent defeat
of the measure, "But Mr.. Steven
son came to the rescue. He
showed that the Sinking Fund
Commission had nearly 100000
in bank drawing four per cent.
interest. Why not lend this
amount to the State at the same
rate and let the state treasurer
refund ii at the rate of $4,000 a
year. This would not increase
the levy of the State and would
not hurt the appropriations to
the other causes. The sugges-
ton was adopted by both
houses" and the act passed in
that form and we got our State
House completed, which had
been standing half finished,
unsightly and almosy uninhabit-
able from 1864 to 1899.
No one seemed to think of the
fact that this could be done.
Observation-Disclosures is the thing
of first importance in legislation.
He seems to have it, hence his
name is linked with lie history
of the State FOR Is years. Don't
we need the same ability and
power in the highest degree in
Washington? Give it a trial. In
the language of the medical
world, take a trial DOSE" If il
is not satisfactory it will last
only two years.

Huerta Resigns Mexican Presi-
dency.

Mexico City, July 15.-Gen.
Victoriano Hueria resigned from
the provisional presidency of the
Mexican republic today and his
resignation was accepted by the
senate and chamber of deputies
by a vote OF l21 TO IL.
Francisco Carbajal then was
appointed president, and took
the oath of office at the Joint
session of the deputies and sena-
tors.
Huerta's resignation was sub
mitted through the department
of foreign relations. 1t was read
in the house and was greeted
with cries of 'Viva Huerta." 1t
then was referred to the Joint
committee of gobernacion.
After brief consideration the
committees reported, accepting
the resignation in the following
terms:
ARTICLE 1. We accept the
resignation presented by Geu.
Victoriano Huerta as president
of the Mexican United States.
Article 2. We call Licentiate
francisco Carbajal, minister of
foreign relations, to assume the
presidency"
A ballot was taken and the
JOINT session approved the report.
President Carbajal proceeded
to the National Palace under an
escort of presidential guards,
and along the way was greeted
with tumultuous cheering.
Monterey, July 16.-Fighting
and bloodshed are at an end in
Mexico, if the plans announced
here today by Gen. Vemustiano
Carranza, first chief of the con-
stitutionalist army 60 into effect.
Gen. Carranza declared his main
object now would be to conduI
alists to llgllll0 glly and
establish their government with
out further disorder, shedding of
blood or damage to property.
How these negotiations would
be arranged Carranza declared
he had not yet determined. He
was unable to say at this time
whether they would be conduct
ed through the mediators or
direct with the federals. Un-
conditional surrender, however,
will be the only condition on
which the negotiations will be
successful.
Gen. Carranza made that plain
to newspaper men who talked
with him today.

DEMOCRATS HOWL

Revolt in Ranks Following

Delegates.
MAY CONTEST SEATS
Judge George and Congress

MAY CONTEST SEATS

The Democratic revolt all over the
sixth district AGAINST the Gray broth
ers, Judge George and Congressman
Finly, is becoming more serious each
day and the result probably will be
the passing out of public life of one or
both of these perpetual office seek
ers." as several district papers have
described them.
The charge has just been made that
delegates from Franklin, Fayette and
Union counties to the judicial con-
vention of those counties and to the
district congressional convention were
hand-picked by the GrayS and without
observance of the call issued for the
holding of meetings for the selection
of delegates.
The call specified that no delegates
should be selected without at least
twenty days notice, but the Grays, It
is charged, grabbed off a personally
assorted bunch OF delegates in the
counties referred to within ten days
after the call had been issued in each
county.
Jacksonian GroWls.
This action has caused the rock
ribbed Democratic Rushyllle organ,
The JacksCnian, to growl, 'It begins
to look very much like the hand-pick-
ed delegates from Franklin, Fayette
and Union counties for Finly Gray,
sixth district congressman, were 60
ing to stir up something at the con-
gressional convention and indications
point to an excellent opportunity for
some one to contest the seating of the
delegates if they feel in the mood to
do So"
One amusing feature of the affair is
that Congressman Gray, in his hurry
to nab the Fayette delegation, failed
to get all the delegates the county
was entitled to. In former conventions
Fayette has been represented with
seven delegates. The state committee
call this year provided that Fayette
should have a delegation of ten, but
Finly held his Fayette meeting before
the state chairman had time to issue
call.
No call for meetings to elect con-
eressional convention delegates has
been issued in Wayne county, but the
indications are that the Wayne dele
CATION will be solidly against Gray,
and will throw it's support to the most
acceptable candidate in the race
against him.
