ing as it has stood for more than a
century, and that under the financial
conditions of the state an appropr.a-
ton could wait. Gov. Ferris allowed
for the same purpose not $4,000 as
asked of Osborn, but $16,759.20.
These constitute the largest items
vetoed by Osborn. The balance was
made up of smaller items, such as
81 800 for investigating the diseases
of bees, etc. Osborn held that his
pledge to keep the taxes low meant
first of all, to prevent appropriations
for things which could be gotten along
without. He investigated in every
instance, and cut where he believed
it was possible without Gripping the
institutions.
Gov. Ferris has explained his ire
he was forced to make up for the
things Osborn vetoed. Yet Osborns
vetoes totalled $7S0,597.32, while Fer
ris' tax levy was more than $4,000,
900 higher than that of Osborn. Had
Ferris merely placed in the tax levy
the things which Osborn cut out and
had run the rest of the state on as
economical basis his tax levy would
have been less than $1,000,000 higher
than Osborns. Now, with the Repub
lican slogan, Look at Your Tax Re
ceipts!" ringing up and down the
stae, Gov. Ferris must explain why
his tax levy was $1,500,O00 more than
Osborn's, even giving him credit fol
the $780, 900 vetoed by Osborn.
That Is 10 ho the real issue in the
present campaign. Look at your tar

MILITANTS CONQUER
PREMIER ASQUITH
He Agrees to Receive a Deputation as
a Result of Mrs. Pankhurst s
Threats.

LONDON, June t9.-Premier Asquith
has capitulared to the suffragettes. He
has consented to receive a deputation
of East End working women in Down
iEg street Saturday morning.
Miss Sylvia Pankhurst 5 attempt to
carry out her threat of a hunger strike
at the entrance to the House of Com
mons until the premier yielded to the
demand that he listen to a delegation
of women was largely responsible for
the prime minister 5 decision. The ef-
forts of James Kier Hardie, the Social
ist independent member of Parliament,
and George Iansbury, an ex-member,
with the premier, helped the militant
suffragette leader to bring him to his
knees
The victory is distinct, because Syl
via Pankhurst was arrested about a
week ago for attempting to lead a pro
cession of East End women to West
minister TO demand the audience which
Mr.. Asquith has now promised.

Uucompromisiug refusal to withdraw
an inch from the stand that a consti-

president of Mexico is the keynote OF
the United States reply to the state
ment Of the Huerta delegates outlining
their demand for the choice Of neu-
trail
The American reply, which was
given out last night at Niagara Falls
by Justice Lamar, says the rebels are
the dominant faction in Mexico and
their wishes must be acceded to If
peace is to prevail.
American supervision for an election
to be held under the orders of a bi
partisan board, is part Of the United
States plan for the settlement of the
Mexican conflict.

that being q stone road the material

Road Commissioner Walker recognizes
that Main street Is greatly in need of
repair in a more permanent form, but

paving, he does not care to expend
much money on it, Funds are not

Deadlock Will Result in Com
plete Breakdown of Medi-
alton Conference
DELEGATES ARE
AT LOGGERHEADS
United States Representatives Insist
Upon Provisional President of Con
stitutional Principles and Huerta' s
Men Object.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June 49, -
The American and IIuerta delegates
held firmly today to the opposite views
expressed by them in public statements
explaining the type of men desired by
each side for provisional president of
Mexico.
The prospect is that neither side will
result in complete breakdown of me-
diation.
The American delegates still have
some MINES to submit and there is lit
tie likelihood that any of the names
will be considered by the Huerta del
egates.
The mediators will as last resort
submit list OF five names. There is
faint hope that one of these will be
acceptable, but the mediators do not
profess optimism.
A controversy has also developed be
tween the American and Huerta dele
gates as TO how the election FOR per
manent president, to be conducted by
the provisional president, should be
supervised.
The Mexican delegates were in con
terence tOudN discussing W0eIueI tueN
should issue another statement at thi
time in answer to the American dele
gates utterances Of last night.
The United States will insist TO th
lgst that man of constitutions
principles for provisional presaent b
~ progressive as opposed te-tt-feaetion
ary.
This the Huerta delegates alread,
have rejected without consulting thei
government.
Just before the American delegate
were notified that there would be n
conference today they were in commt
nication With Washington by telt
phone.
1t is understood that they receiXe
instructions to stand by their attitud
as outlined in the statement of las
night and to insist on an aceeptanC
of the American plan.
In some quarters the attitude of Il
Washington government was describe
as virtually an ultimatum, the accep
ance Of which by the Mexican delegat
would be the sole condition on whit
mediation will be continued.
But for the presence of Americ;
troops at Vera Cruz it is believed Il
American government might resume
attitude Of passive observation, whi
the two eonteniing factions in Mexi
decided the issue.
