More Filings. However. in State and

considerably this week after the first

ing the Republican nominations for
the different Offices at the September

forth the comment that it will be
Jonah" ticket. s. C. Gibson of Bu-
coda, who seeks reelection as county
commissioner, and Lewis j. Morrison
of Olympia, who wants to be a repre-
sentative in the legislature, are the
only persons to file since last week.
In state and national legislative
circles, however, and judicial circles,
too, the interest has kept up little
better, George Turner Of Spokane
having filed for United States senator
on the Democratic ticket since last
Friday; DR.. w. E. Cass of Vancouver,
Wash, for the Democratic congress
sional nomination from this district,
and Robert A. Wiley of Montesano
for the Republican nomination, OPP
posing Congressman Johnson; while
there have been several filings in
other districts and for state supreme
judge.

ening of this week to perfect the or

be issued then for a general mass
meeting in the interests of the league.

PEACE SEEMS LIKELY.
Conference Arranged For Transfer
of Power in Mexico.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July "a
Negotiations completed this week
whereby representatives of the pro-
visional president of Mexico and Of
the Constitutionalists will meet in
conference with view Of providing
for a peaceful transfer of power
from Provisional President Carbajal
to General Carranza OF the Constitu-
tionalist, will, it is believed, deter
mine a basis whereby peace will be
definitely restored in that republic.
The only possibility of difficulty lies
in the strained relations between
Generals Carranza and Villa of the
Constitutionalist forces, but it is be-
lieved these will be Strengthened out.
An armistice between the provis-
ional government and the Constitu-
tionalists was signed Wednesday
night, according to an announcement
made on behalf Of Carbajal, in which
it was agreed that hostilities should
cease at once throughout Mexico.
This is taken as forecasting salts
factory outcome Of the negotiations
for the transfer of authority, though
reports that General Carranza is dis
inclined to grant an amnesty to poll
teal offenders and will insist on an
unconditional surrender by the Car
bajal government, have caused some

real nice senators do not like to be
treated that way, and they have put
Mr.. Warburg's appointment into
dark pigeonhole. The president
wants them to take it out and act
upon it. In every other instance
since Woodrow Wilson has been in
the White House, the senate has
obeyed his mandate, but this time

politics lie at the bottom Of the re-

their transactions in such a manner
