Democrat, and had always contribu-
ted his share of campaign expenses,
paying whatever was asked of him,
and had sometimes sent more, and
besides contributed to national cam
paign fund. He then turned his at
tention to party measures and said
he was in favor of the building of
good roads by the general govern
ment and said method of dealing
with tobacco by the government SIM
liar to the foreign Regies, would
benefit all concerned and destroy the
tobacco trust. He endorsed the
Presidents administration fully, es-
pecially his financial legislation and
his handling of the Mexican ques-
ton.
Mr.. Kincheloe has a strong fol-
lowing here and was greeted by APP
plause as he began and at frequent
intervals when telling points we're
made.
He told of his early struggles in
Mclean county, and of having been
county attorney when only "a years
of age. While sick in bed he was
beaten by few votes for reelection,
a fact, he said, that his opponent had
dwelt upon in his speeches. Stricken
with appendicitis, he had been una
bic to make a canvass, having been
forced to practically abandon the
race in a confess that was so close
shat several other Democrats failed
of election. He said Judge Henson's
salary for two terms was SAP, 600 and
that he should be satisfied with $3.50
a month.
Mr.. Kincheloe in eloquent and pa
triotic language up held the doctrines
of his party and reviewed the work
of the Wilson administration In
discussions of national affairs no is
sues were raised between the speak
ers, both stoutly advocating the
Democratic platform measures. Mr..
Kincheloe is a graceful and accom-
plished orator, with fund of anec-
dote that keeps an audience in con-
slant good humor. His supporters
here were quite enthusiastic over his
presentation of his claims in the first
joint discussion.
The candidate were at cambridge
and Pembroke Tuesday and at La
fayette an 4 Howell yesterday Atall
these places they were heard by good
crowds and both express themselves
satisfied with the outlook. They
will close the debates in this county
at Bluff Springs and Dogwood chap
el to-day.

Dictator Carries Out His Plan
of Naming His Own
Successor.
SOUNDING THIS COUNTRY
No Recognition, But Likely Tc
Deal Informally Until
Transfer of Rule.

Washington, July 15.--The Brazil
ian Minister to Mexico, who is car
ing for the interests of the United
States in that country, telegraphed
the state department that the resig-
nation of Gen. Huerta in favor Of
Francisco Carbajal, the newly ap--
pointed minister of foreign affairs,
was expected Wednesday.
Minister Suarez, of Chile, one of the
three mediators, anticipating ,na re...
tirement of Huerta, sought an in -
formal talk with Secretary Bryan to
learn what the attitude of the United
States would be toward the CarDaja8
government. While the Washington
government will not recognize Car
bajal, Minister Suarez learned thas'
the American government was not
disinclined to treat informally with.
the new administration until trans
fer of power to the constitutionalists
could be effected.
Earlier in the day Minister Suarez
held a conference with Fernando Ig--
lesias Calderon, head of the liberal
party in Mexico, who is here on a.
private mission for Gen. Carranza,
Mr.. CalderOn holds the view that uu--
less the Huerta forces are ready to-
capitulate conferences would be fu-
tile.
Gen. Carranza himself notified the
United States through John R. Sill
man. formerly American consul at
Saltillo, and now personal represen-
tative of President Wilson there.
that only the unconditional surren-
der Of the authorities at Mexico City
would be accepted.
Mr. Silliman, in his report. spoke
in complimentary terms of Carranza
and said his reception by the constr.
tutional chief was most cordial. Gen
eral CarranZa explained why it would
be impossible to hold peace parleys
with Huerta delegates and said that
all his generals had demanded that,
the plan ofGaudalupe, providing th&ss
Carranza, as president ad interim,
take military possess on of Mexico
City, be carried out to the letter.
Carranza assured the American rep
resentative that the constitutional
forces would soon enter Mexico CITY
and maintain order there.
Carranza promised that if the HUI
erta forces surrendered uncondition-
ally that he would give ample guar
antees for the protection of life and
property.
Otfici' Is here were greatly pleased
at Carranza's friendliness toward the.
United States. They indicated that
while the American government
would have preferred to see peace
conferences no step would be taken
by the United States to interfere
with the revolution. The constitu--
tionalists have been informed, how.
ever, that they will not be accorded
recognition if excuses are commit
ted on their entry into Mexico Ciy.-

THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE

In lifting the embargo against the
shipping Of arms and ammunition into
Mexico, President Wilson has taken
the one alternative Offering against
Intervention. 1t is by no means con-
vincing that eventual solution of the
problem will follow the president S
action He has at least placed himself
and his country in an irreproachable
position before Mexico and the world
From the first moment Of disaffec-
ton against Portrio Diaz, the policy
Of the United States has been that OF
non-interference with the affairs of an
assumedly friendly and independent
neighboring country Under Taft and
Wilson that policy was steadily main
tanned until the peace and dignity of
this nation and the integrity of the
Monroe doctrine became imperilled. 1t
was only under the spur of compulsion
that the United States made anything
resembling an overt act against Mex
leo
The time now has arrived when ac-
ton that is in one way or the other de-
cisive must be taken. We have, and
justly, decreed the elimination Of Huer-
ia. But if this mandate is to initiate
in the direction Of peace it must be
supplemented by a program that is
positive no less than negative. We
now tell the Mexicans that they can
proceed to fight out their differences
upon plane of exact equality, OBJ
serving only the rules of recognized
neutrality, We place arms in the
hands of Huerta's foes, that they may
not be at disadvantage. But when
Huerta falls, as fall he will, what is
going to happen? As yet none of the
leaders opposed to him have giypl
final evidence Of fitness to pacify tie
country. If Huerta is crushed, owl
to give place to one like him or cen
more weakly Intellectual what guac-
antee exists that anarchy viii not re
|petuate itself indefinitely in Mex:c7:
These are the questions that con
front the administration with increas-
ing gravity. Mr. Wilson has taken TIE
one path that gives plausible promise
Of amicable solution. AS for the rest,
we can only, to quote his own phrase,
rely upon a policy Of "watchful wait
ing.'-Atlanta Constitution.

WHITE LOAFERS

The Darien Gazette submits that we
ought to have a law in Georgia that
will compel lcafers to work or serve
in the penitentiary, and the Lyons
Progress adds that the trouble is in
the one-sided enforcement Of our va
grancy laws. I'VE want to make the
sorry negro work, it continues, but
make no effort to to get hustle on
the Ioafng whites who think it dis
grace to labor for a living"
This brings the whole question
Isouarely before us. The view of the
Lyons Progress is just and sound. Our
vagrancy laws should be enforced as
rigidly in case of whites as in
the case of blacks. Loafers or Migrants
of whatever color are undesirable citi-
.zens, and if they are not put to work
they become a menace to society.
There is net a white man with an
red blood in his veins who considers i
a disgrace to work This is an age o.
strenuous endeavor among all classes.
Rich and poor alike have their duties
to perform. There is no place in our
modern civilization for loafers They
clog the wheels of progress and If
they cannot be induced to exert them
selves by the proper means, then the
law should say to them Work for
yourself or you must go to Jail to WORK
for the state or county"
The law of life is service and who
ever seeks TO evade it must suffer, not
only in his failure to reap the rewards
of industry and in the loss of the re-
spect of his fellow men, but in the de-
morahzation of his own character and
from the penalties justly demanded bg
