Predicts Republican conaress.

mot only Uncle Joe Cannon, but
.Ir Mckinley and Mr. Rodenherg are
coming back to the house from Ilii-
nois," remarked A. H. White, promi-
nent lawyer of Chicago, at the VIII
lard. THE people are out of patience
with the Democratic party, and they
want a change. In the cities-Chica-
CO. for example-the number of unem-
ployed Is growing every day, while in
the agricultural districts the farmers
are complaining because, notwith-
standing good crop prospects, they are
not getting the same prices for their
products that they did in Republican
days Perhaps it is unreasonable to
! blame the Democratic party for all
the evils, but when it comes to voting.
the farmers and the city people don't
stop to argue about who are to blame,
but set down the party in power as
the culprit.
That is going to prove the big fac
tor In the coming congressional cleo
ton and will change big Democratic
majority In the house into Republic
can majority. 1t has been done before.
and history will repeat. ''-WashingtoR

HUERTA'S FAMILY FLEES
CAPITAL UNDER GUARD
Mexico for Vera Cruz With 1900
Soldiers as Escort

Mexico City, July 16.-At ten o'clock
Tuesday night the family of President
Huerta and other relatives and close
friends left the capital for Vera Cruz
aboard a special train. The train was
composed Of three sleepers and bag
gage car. Running ahead of it were
two military trains carrying 800 men.
Following came another military train
with 500 troops aboard.
The family of General Banquet,
minister of war. also left on the spe-
cial.
1t is believed President Huerta,
General Banquet and other high off,
cials are preparing to leave.
Vera Cruz. July 16,--Carranzista
agents here declare they have received
positive information that General HUI
erta has left the capital. This report
they cabled Carranza.
No conflrmatory information is OBJ
tainable from army headquarters, but
navy men are inclined to place Gre
dence In the report, which gives sup
port to another navy rumor to the eff
feet that 27 trunks belonging to the
Huerta family reached here and are
now aboard the Holland gunboat Kor-
tenaer which is waiting to take HUI
erta to Curacao. The Kortenaer's cap
tain is now in Mexico City. Aboard
the gunboat the story was denied I'M
reservediy.
Monterey, Mex, July ia delega-
ton of citizens from San Luis Potosi
came to Monterey to ask Carranza
that the constitutionalists agree to
treat with the federals in order to
avoid a battle in the town. destruc-
ton of property, and loss of life to nom
combatants.
They were told that the uncondi-
tional surrender of the garrison was
the only condition on which an ar
rangement could be made.
On Board T. S. S. California. Mazat-
Ian, Mex, July 16, by Wireless to San

Kew Progressive SLOGAN,

In One of his facetious moments, oh,
yes, political reformers as we'll as
trust magnates indulge in facetious-
ness now and then-George W. Per
kins said: 81 have been thinking of a
new slogan for the Progressives. Last
year we marched to the strains of
Onward, Christian Soldiers. This
year it looks as though it will be Shall
We Gather at the River?'" In the
laughter which followed this sally the
Bull Moose financiers auditors forgot
to ask him whether he meant the
River of Doubt or the river that is
known by the name of Salt.-Spring-
field Union.

IN LINE WITH PARTY
Proofs That "Progressives' Are
Listening to Reason.
Vote In Minnesota Shows Trend OF
Events-RevoItina Members Are
FIoekine by Thousands Into
the Republican Ranks.

The progressive state Of Minnesota
mas furnished the most impressive
proof yet given of the virtual disap-
pearance of the Progressive party. II
is perfectly clear that in state when
Roosevelt carried two years ago the
Progressive sentiment of the people
has ceased to manifest itself in third
party movement. The Progressiyes or
1912 are Progressive Republicans In
1914.
Two years ago the vote Of Mime
sofa was 1856 for Roosevelt, 1885,
426 for Wilson and 34,324 for Taft.
The total vote for all parties, includ-
ing the Socialists and Prohibitionists,
was 334,z19.
With one small county which did
not cast more than 400 votes missing
from the official returns, the total vote
of Minnesota in the primary election
held two weeks ago was more than
100000. 1t was remarkably large for
an election held only to nominate state
candidates.
The Republican vote was $4,000.
The Democratic candidates for gov
ernor made very hot race, but their
total was little : IS than $4,000. The
Progressirs .ndidates polled total
of 1854 votes. 1t will be seen that the
Republican vote was more than four
times as great as that of the Demo-
Gratis and the Prog-essives combined.
Comparing the primary election this
year with the presidential election or
1912, the Republican vote is multiplied
by three and the Democratic vote d.
vided by two and fraction. The Pro-
gressive vote is divided by fifty.
In percentages, the Republican
strength is over 800 per cent of the
total for Taft. The Democratic vote
is about 40 per cent of the vote for
Wilson. The Progressive vote is q
little more than two per cent of the
vote cast for Roosevelt in 1912.
Such facts cannot mean anything
less than a complete political reyolu-
ton. They show that in one of the
states carried by Theodore Roosevelt
In the presidential election two years
ago the whole Progressive party, ex-
cept a few struggling votes, here and
there, has gone into the Republican
camp.
But Minnesota is certainly as pro-
giessive as ever. The beliefs and SEN
timent of its people have not changed.
What has happened is that the logic
of events has convinced the great body
Of Progressive voters that they can
most surely accomplish the reforms
they seek by working in the Republi-
can party, as Republicans.
1t is also plain that the people of
Minnesota have decided, by an over
whelming majority, to make an end
of the present Democratic administra-
ton at Washington, at the earliest
possible date In that determination
they stand with the other states of the
North. from ocean to ocean.

RAILROAD MEN MAY
BAR ARBITRATION
Engineers and Firemen of go
Roads Threaten Strike.
AWARD MUST BE BINDING
Employees on Western Roads Cite Re
fusai of Eastern Lines to Abide BY
Previous Decisions-Vote
Favors WaIkout

Chicago. July 16-Unless the ss
western railroads give a guarantee
that the finding of the arbitration
board would be obeyed, the locomotive
firemen and engineers declare they
will never submit their demands TO ar
filtration. This was the announcement
made Sy Grand Chief Engineer War
rem s. Stone of the engineers and w.
S. Carter Of the firemen Tuesday.
The dispute between the railroads
and their engineers and firemen in
wolves an additional annual wage pay
ment of approximately $33.O00,0 600. The
railroads managers insist that be-
cause of adverse legislation and bust
ness conditions they cannot pay the
extra sum.
The Railroad General Managers as
sociation received notice that the vote
of the engineers and firemen was ap-
proximately unanimous against renew
Ing the present wage agreement and
in favor of strike if a satisfactory
settlement could not be made.
After the announcement the railroad
officials asked that the result Of the
vote and what the engineers and fire.
men expect to receive from the 9S
roads be submitted in writing. This
document was presented to the rail-
road officials. Their answer may be
a complete refusal that will end nego-
tiations or may leave loophole for
further negotiations and a settlement.
In the event that the railroad Off
cials refuse to consider any Of the de-
mands of the employees the United
States commissioner of labor will be
called In as a mediator. Neither side
will object to this program, as the
United States mediator's duty is to try
TO induce the contending parties to
make a settlement by agreement. II
the mediator fails he will suggest that
the whole controversy be left to arbi-
tration. Up to this point there will be
little excitement. But when arbitra-
ton Is suggested the basis upon which
1t will be accepted by the engineers
and flremen will bring the crisis.
1T may be some time before the
question of arbitration arises. said
Grand Chief Stone. when IL does
there must be some understanding as
to whether the railroads will comply
with whatever award IL made. In the
East the railroads have failed to obey
the award of an arbitration board
made two years ago. We will not per-
NIT such situation to arise in the
West. We must have a guarantee that
whatever award is made win be re-
hgiously obeyed.
I've do not have to arbitrate unless
we wish"
Members of the mediation board in
Washington await the outcome OF the
labor dispute with much interest, and
are ready to start to Chicago at any
time to adludicate the dispute If pos
sible. The officials who will endeavor
to settle the strike, If II is called, are
