WORKING FOR PEACE
American Diplomats Would End Trou.
BILE In Mexican Affairs

Washington, July 17.-Every dip
lomatic agency at the disposal of the
United States was working today for
Immediate peace in Mexico.
The administration is convinced
that with the elimination of Huerta,
for which it has been steadily press
ing for more than year, the various
factions in Mexico will be drawn to-
getller. To aid in this and assure
a restoration of normal conditions
without further bloodshed, officials
here are exerting themselves to
smooth the way for a new and stable
administration in Mexico, which shall
be recognized by the powers of the
world.
Not only is the American govern
ment at this moment counseling Car
raliza. the ccnstitutionalist chief, to
arrange with Francisco Carbajal, HUI.
erta's successor, for the peaceful
transfer of the government at Mexi-
co City to the constitutionalists with
out further fighting, but it became
known today that the administration
is indirectly in communication with
Emiliano Lapata, leader of the revo-
luton in southern Mexico.
Zapata, according to reliable re-
ports to the state department, has
$4,000 men, and though most of them
are poorly equipped, they would con-
sti:ute serious menace to the new
government al Mexico City, if they
remained in revolution.

Helena, July 1S.-It is announced
here tonight that petitions will be
circulated Immediately in the differ
ent counties throughout the state in

ton D. Rankin of Helena and James
M. Brinson of Butte for the congress
sional nominations on the progressive

Petitions have also been prepared

liams of Fallon county for the pro-
gressive nomination for state railroad

Mr.. Williams has served two years

ka, and is one of the comparatively
recent settlers in eastern Montana.
Wellington Rankin is one of the
leading young lawyers of Helena, and
with Colonel Nolan made the prin-
cipal argument in support of the val
idity of the constitutional amendment
in the hearing before the supreme
court last week. He is native son
of Montana, having been born in Mis-
soula, where his family now resides.
He is graduate of the Harvard law

ant attorney general of Colorado. Mr..
Brinson is we'll known throughout
the state as a public speaker of abil-
ity.
Congressman Evans and Stout are
circulating their petitions for the DEM
oCratic nominations for congress, and
it is understood they will have no op-
position in the democratic primaries.
SO far, no republican candidates
have appeared for the congressional
nominations, except Samuel Nichol-
son. who formerly served on the Hell
ena police force and was later named
by Senator Carter for one of the dep
uty co]lectorships of internal revenue.
Since the advent of the democratic
administration, Mr.. Nicholson has
been engaged in writing life insur-
ance.

so :ar. has not circulated his petition

expending $17.3S a month for each
family. The average allowance for
each family is $3.50 month. The
miximum under the law for each
child is $40 month.
The mothers pension payroll was
$1,S9O.5O in January. 1t increased to
$2,O22.5O by June l. Judge Orr said

INITIATIVE LAW UPHELD
supreme Court Decides Technical
Defects Are Not Important

Helena. July Unconstitutional
OF the initiative and referendum
amendment, incorporated in the state
constitution in 1906, was affirmed
unanimously by the supreme court
today. All the members of the court
Chief Justice Theodore Brantly.
Associate Justice William L. Hollo.
way, and Associate Justice Sidney
Sanner-participated in the writing
of the decision. The court then ad.
journed until September IA.
Because of this action, the voters
of Montana this fall will have SUBJ
mitted to them one measure under
the referendum clause, and three un-
der the initiative clause. They are:
Reference of the Kiley boxing law.
Initiative of the workmen's compen-
sation act.
Initiative of the farm loan act.
Initiative of the bill consolidating
state institutions.
The repeal of the Donohue military
bill by referendum vote three years
ago remains valid under today's deci-
oAoAS anu tuC AOlAO"Al6 lOul lullldllNc
measures will remain on the books
as valid enactments: The presiden-
tial primary, the corrupt practices
act, the direct primary, nomination
of United States senators by direct
vote.
Upon the broad ground that there
had been substantial, though not lit
eral, compliance with the provisions
of the law in the procedure for the
adoption of the amendment, the court
bases it's decision.
"The proper proposal of the amend
ment by the legislature and the will
of the people expressed at the polls
in favor of such amendment" says
the court, "are clearly emphasized as
the factors of paramount Importance
in effecting a change of our constitu-
ton. Whatever may be said of the
rigidity with which the rules of the
law must be drawn whenever either
of these paramount factors is in issue,
we are clearly of the opinion that any
question which may arise upon other
features of the amending process is
referable to the rule of substantial
compliance even though the provi-
sion of the constitution invoked is
mandatory"

Continue WatchfuI Waiting

Washington, July 16.-President
Wilson will not recognize Provisional
President Carbajal, nor any other
government in Mexico not set up
through legal election or in accord
ance with the protocols signed at Nj
agara Falls. Despite the resignation
of General Huerta he will continue
his watchful waiting policy until the
Mexican situation is more clarified.
The expectation of the administra.
tion is that arrangements will be
made for the peaceful entry of the
constitutionalists into Mexico City in
case Carranza and his generals final
ly refuse to accept President Carba
jal, pending the holding of an elec.
ton.
President Wilson believes other ma
tions will not recognize any new
government until the United States
has indicated its attitude. For that
reason he thinks the constitutional
lists will be careful in their procedure
The president is understood to have
no objection to Carbajal except on the
score that he derived his power from
Huerta and is willing to accept him
if the constitutionalists will agree as
provisional president until elections.
White house officials were conf
dent today that the constitutionalists
would be temperate in their acts when
they enter Mexico City. They believe
there is no danger of wholesale kill
ing of loOting.
