Carranza' S Letter

L have read with much interest the
letter of Senator Sheppard. In regard
to the matters contained therein, |
beg to state the following:
L possess a deep admiration for the
American people and hold in great
personal esteem President Wilson and
William Jennings Bryan. the secretary
of state. l know they are men of the
highest mentality as well as moral
and political aims, and for that rea-
son, I think that their friendship to-
ward Mexico and the sympathy evil
denced for the principles of the Mex
lean Constituencies are not only
sincere but entirely disinterested and
are the result of the existing harmony
between the aims of the cause which
l have the honor to represent and the
ideals of American democracy.
Pleased by U. S. Policy
Il possess such high opinion and
esteem of the Political purposes and
sagacity of the american government
and I am so wea satisfied as to their
loyal friendship Seward Mexico that.
in spite of the great responsibility
which is imposed upon me as the chief
of a well-defined political party which
reckons with the intellectual, moral
legal and economic elements sufficient
ly to be considered d decisive factor
in political matters not only of my
own countries but of foreign countries
as well. I have experienced no incon-
sistency in dealing in an unofficial and
expeditions way with all matters of
an international character which have
been presented by the United States,
and especially is this true because
deem it the duty of my party to af-
ford that these relations be cordial
with those who in good faith sympa-
thize with our purpose and are in ac-
cord with our ideals.
His Ambition
LAS long as l am at the head of the
Constitutionalist army or in any otn-
err office, my policy will be to strive
in such a way as to have our inter
national obligations complied with
and have our relations with foreign
governments become more and more
cordial and especially with such coun-
tries as have their destiny linked
with the political. economic and COM
mereiai interests of Mexico.
II sincerely regret that incidents of
an international character should
have given rise to an Interpretation

MICHIGAN POLITICS

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 30. The
State conventions of the Republic
ans, Democrats and Progressives are
being held in Michigan today. The
Democratic convention is being held
In this city, the Progressives are
meeting in Bay City, and the Re-
publican convention is being held in
Kalamazoo. The holding of all
three conventions on the same day
was something of a surprise to the
various adherents of the parties, for
1t has heretofore been the policy of
each party to get as much publicity
as possible through the newspapers
of the convention day carrying the
convention accounts. With three
conventions in progress on the same
day, public attention will not CEN
ter on one in particular. At Bay
City the Progressive convention win
be addressed by Colonel Roosevelt,
who has been on a tour of western
cities.

BUY A BALE OF GOODS

New York, Sept. 30.-Much in
terest has been shown in the local
cotton goods market in the sugges-
tion that the "buy a bale of cotton
movement be abandoned in favor Of
Ia similar movement to buy q bale of
cotton yarn or a bale of gray goods
lat current prices. The growers
would ultimately benefit just as
much, and it would give work to the
|men and women who spin the yarn
|or make the gray fabrics. 1t is also
|contended there is a strong possi-
bility Of higher yarn and cloth
prices In the future, and the buyer
would stand to gain more from his
Investment. The idea Is thought to
pc good one; its ultimate value to
fhe cotton grower being limited only
py the amount of yarns and gray
Goods in stock at this time.
