IMPORTATION WANTED.
Voter Wants the { ndidates For Gov
ernOr to Explain Some Things.
Study the Divine Code.
Editor The Herald and News:

Editor The Herald and News:
We have already been informed as
to what various candidates promise to
accomplish if they are elected to the
high office of governor. Some OF
taese candidates would impress upon
the minds of the poor man that if he
is elected, provision will be made for
every poor man to own land and a
home OF his Cwn, but be does not tell
US by what means and by what pro-
cess this is to be consummated. Some
of these candidates are landlords.
Will they tell us how many slices
have they cut off to poor men and on
what terms? Is this not a mere vote
catcher? It sounds very much like
the mule and forty acres we heard OF
so years ago. Yes, tell how you pro-
pose to bring about this happy con-
summation and how much you will
contribute towards it.
Another candidate is going to have
State wide compulsory education, and
another wants it about in patches, but
they profess to be wise enough to en-
act laws to meet the inequality Of nu-
man conditions.
When God wrote the ten command
ments, for the moral government of
the race through all time He made it
as easy for one man or woman to COM
ply with as another, irrespective OF
conditions in life
All would be governors and law
makers should study the divine code
and not to presume to go beyond the
wisdom of God. All general laws with
a penalty imposed for it's violation
should be 50 constructed after the di-
vine plan as to make it as easy for
the poor as for the rich to comply
with.
If these candidates for compulsory
education have such a code let us
have il. If they have not such a code
then the State is not ready nor will
it be ready until the State can raise
up statesmen sufficiently wise, just
and good to enact such ccde. |

Would Let All Hear.

PlSas at first " ere to hold the meet
~lng in The court house. But when the
crowd had assumed such proportions
that all couldn't get in, R. S. Stewart,
the county chairman, was advised to
adjourn to the court house yard and
allow the speakers to utilize the
porch of a small residence.
The governor was the first speaker.
He began by paying a tribute to the
late Pink Caskey, a friend of his from
this county. He also reminded the au-
dience that he had come to this coun-
ty for the present superintendent OF
the State Hospital for the Insane,
whose administration up to this time
|ihas been most excellent
Compulsory education was intro
duced by the governor today for the
first time since the campaign opened.
The State, the governor said, was not
ready for this, because OF lack OF
school houses, and if the State had
such a law it couldn't be complied
with because of a lack of school
houses.
"I know white schools" continued
the speaker, chat run no more than
six weeks" l know others that do
not run more than three months. Il
you pass law compelling white chill
dren to go to school four months,
you've got to make arrangements
first
The governor complimented the last
legislature for providing the l mill
tax for the common schools. This leg
islature, the speaker said, would go
down in history as doing more for the
common schools than any other ever
had done, when 'it passed the meas
use l had been agitating.
The governor dismissed the edu-
cation idea by saying that when the
State got ready for compulsory edu-
cation it then would not need it.

The governor said he was opposed
TO immigration and promised tnat II

Wirelessed to brigade headquarters and
endorsements OF the 4th Infantry and
marines under Colonel LIE Jeune ar
rived promptly. but after firing few
shots, which the marines answered
with one, the F'ederals disappeared as
mysteriously as they came.
Later in the day some OF them were
seen by squad OF the medical corps
and by Joseph Patterson. Of THE Chi
cago Tribune" The Federals were then
four miles from the pumping station
and were moving west. At the same
time Captain Selby, Of the 4th Infantry,
and several correspondents, who had
been sent down along the railroad track
BY the Intelligence Department, stum-
bled into a Federal outpost that had
not been fed lately and seemed inclined
TO eat us. We Modified them by taking
their photographs.
The moral Of the pumping station in
cident is that this outpost duty is a
cavalry proposition, and, undoubtedly,
as soon as disembarked. the cavalry
will be detailed TO act as scouts along
our lines. Then these Mexican guer-
illas will be less audacious. A burglar
cares little for the peg-post cop; the
man he dislikes is the patrolman.

AMERICANSWARNED
TO QUIT MEXICO CITY
Huerta, on Request of Brazilian
Minister, Is to Provide Train
for Them To-day.

Mexico City. May Another warning
was received to-day by the Brazilian
Minister from Consul Canada, at Vera
Cruz. who advised the remaining Ameri-
cans in the Federal capital to leave with
out delay. The Brazilian Minister said:
II met General Huerta casually this
morning and received from him repeated
assurances that both he personally and
his ministers would do everything that /
asked TO secure the safety and complete
protection and comfort OF the Americans
remaining in this country.
when i referred TO the request had
made this morning to the Department OF
Foreign Relations for special train for
Americans desiring TO leave the Federal
capital, General Huerta at once gave or
ders for the necessary arrangements to
be made, and the train will leave this
city for Coatzacoalcos at 6 o'clock to-mor'
row evening.
General Huerta assured me in particu'
lar that the train would carry the requl'

was ready to resign a week ago, but
was prevented from doing so by inter-
nal dissensions in his Cabinet. The
disappearance from the Mexican Csbi-
net OF Jose Lopez Portillo y RoJas. the
Foreign Minister coupled with reports
that there is a growing undercurrens
Of feeling in Mexico City against tho
Huerta government. is interpreted here
as foreshadowing change In the sit
uation in the Federal capital.
Some of the close observers here OF
the government situation incline to the
view that Senior Portillo's resignation
may clear the way eventually for the
appointment Of Foreign Minister who,
under the Mexican constitution. could
succeed General Huerta rs President.
In these circles II is puointed out that
while venustlano Carranza declined to
treat with General Huerta he might
consent 10 enter into negotiations with
his successor and thus facilitate me-
diation.
The effect OF the continued rebel sue
cesses In the north and the outcome or
the pending attack on Tampico may,
according to we'll informed opinion,
bring about rapid change in Mexico
City.
While the federal capital was re-

to be incensed by the arrest OF some

stitutionalist victories OF the unswerV-
ing opposition Of the United States, will
prove far from a settlement OF the
Mexican problem. is the conviction or

WINGED that even II mediation results

this feeling, and 1t Is the conviction of
