Condemn Action of Ma
tionaI Convention.
ASK GUARANTEES OF SAFETY
Opponents of Villa Also Request that
Meetings be Held in Safer Place
-Aquas CaIientes Threatened.

Mexico City.-General Carranza has
declined to attend in person the
Aguas CaIientes convention, and re-
fused to sign an agreement to abide
by the decision of that body. This
was in answer to the request of a COM
mission which called on him headed
by General Obregon.
General Carranza said he reserves
the right to approve or disapproye the
final acts of the convention, maintain
ing that the sovereign power of the
state rests with him alone until his
successor as head of the government
is elected.
Would Move Convention.
FL Paso, Tex.-GeneraI Obregon, as
head of the Carranza commission. has
presented a resolution before the
Aguas Calientes convention asking for
guarantees of safety for all delegates,
and requesting that the convention be
moved to "a safer place.
This information was received here
in an official message from Mexico
City, confirming the fears of the Car
rama government that its delegates
either have been arrested or threat
ened with Imprisonment by the Villa
faction
Aguas Calientes had been declared
neutral territory in the preliminary
conference at Zacatecas. 1t was not
made known whether Carranza had
sent into the city the troops which
accompanied his delegates from Mex
leo City.
1t was announced that the former
federal commander at Ensenada, Low
er California, has sent a large ship
ment of war supplies to Governor
Maytorena, who heads the Indians in
Sonora, who have been attacking the
border town of Naco.
Delegates In a Panic.
San Antonio, Tex-Francisco Villa
created a panic among the delegates
to- the convention of military chiefs in
Aguas Calientes by moving an army
of $4,000 into position where he can
envelop the city and imprison the en-
tire conference. This information
is contained in a message to the Next
can consul here from Mexico City
Villas army is reported to be within
an hours march of Aguas Calientes.
To oppose him, there are Carranza
troops at Monterey and SaltiIlo, but it
would take from four to twelve hours
to get them to Aguas Calientes.
Soldiers Insult Delegates.
According to the message from Mex
leo City to the consulate here the
delegates at Aguas Calientes, who il
clude many chiefs of the Constitu-
tionaIist army, have made an appeal
to Carranza to guarantee their free
dom while the convention, which has
resumed, continues. They asserted
that Villas soldiers who are in
Aguas Calientes as escorts to tie
chiefs of Valla's army, rob them and
insult them in the streets. They ask
that Aguas Calientes and surrounding
territory be declared neutral during
the convention, or that the conven-
ton be removed to Mexico City.

In Camp, WaIsenburg, COL, May 5.
Remember Ludlow"
In thirteen different tongues the
words were spoken. Thirteen differ
ent nationaIities of men heard them,
leveled their rifles on rocks and fired
at men wearing the uniform of the
National Guard of Colorado.
They fired carefully, deliberately
They didn't fire to frighten-but to
kill.
But they didn't shoot at those mill
tiament because the blood lust was in
their veins. They shot because the
memory of Ludlow was in their
minds.
Soon after the battle starter, Rock
efeIIer's murderers at the Walsen
mine turned their machine guns on
the city of Walsenburg. Two men
were killed there, while women and
children croUched in terror in the
Easements of their homes.
Such was the battle of Walsen-
burg, in which 300 strikers Wednes-
day defended their position on a hill
top against about 200 sO-caIled mill
tiamen.
They tell me that one miIitiamen
and ten gunner were killed. It's too
bad-but they shouldn't be militia
men and gunner. They shouldn't be
working for greedy coal operators
against men and women and chill
dren who are striking for bread.
It wouldn't be so bad if they
weren't working against the women
and children. The men can stand
their attacks. But when they kill
wives and mothers and babies-kilI
them for hire-it's different.
never knew drawer or better men
than those miners. They're rough;
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-05-05

they're ignorant, but they're men.
They love their families.
And ! know that when they fought
the militia at Walsenburg it was SIM
ply to protect their families.
1t wasn't for revenge. 1t was from
fear. of another massacre.
The strikers under me occupied a
position on a hill-"the Hogback"
One-half mile back of them was their
camp of TOltec, and stretching twelve
miles back of that were seven other
strikers camps in which were fifteen
hundred women and children. All
that stood between John D. Rookie
feller's murderers and these fifteen
hundred women and children was
"The Hogback" and the strikers
on it.
And every man was thinking of
Ludlow. Four men who had lost
wives and children in the massacre
there were in our ranks. They'd told
the story of Ludlow, over and over
again. They'd told how the militia
men andthe gunner, brought to Col
orado to kill for hire, had trained
their machine guns on the camp.
They'd heard how the tents were set
on fire, how the children screamed
and died in cruel flames!
And they were determined to die
rather than let those militiamen
reach the camp back of Walsenburg.
We didn't do wrong. We didn't re-
sist officers of the law. We resist
ed men who have preyed on us for
months, who have shot US down, who
have burned our camps-and who
have killed our women and children.
That's the awful part.

noon when ROckefeIler's army open

Water Works and Lighting Plant
 Bonds

A strong demand was made by the officials of the smaller towns in Ar kansas for some provision that would enable the citizens of such towns to obtain water supply and lighting plants even if necessary to mortgage such plants as an additional security to the bonds. Such demand was met by a provision in Amendment No. fl which authorized bonds for these purposes, if voted by the people. The provision that such bonds need not be retired within thirty-five years and that such bonds be not included in the computa- ton of the amount of other bonded in- debtedness is further strengthened by provision to the effect that as addi- tional security of said additional bonds, a mortgage or other lien shall be given by said municipality on such water works or lighting plant, including it's franchise and all property connected herewith.

 Some have confused Amendment 70. 14, 10 be submitted at the Septem- Der election, with the amendment which was voted On two years ago, and charge sgainst the present amend ment some alleged defects of the 1912 measure. The amendment now pro posed, is. in the minds of it's friends, q much stronger measure than the other one. The safeguards are strong or, the restriction about the issuing o' bonds are more severe, ard at the enme time, the measure is one that is based on the best bond laws of the other states of the Union. When the present amendment was devised, it was done at a two days conference ef some of the best lawyers in the tate. At the meeting were also about forty mayors and other city officials, and the intention Of the meeting was 10 draft an amendment which, when proposed before the people, would ap- peal to the peoples sense of fairness, because of the justness and fairness of all it's terms The friends of the present amendment believe that all hese things can be properly claimed for it.

Elections Carefully Guarded.

Special or other elections held for the purpose of voting on the matter of issuing bonds for any specific pur- pose, shall be held at such time as the council may designate by ordinance. Such ordinance must state the purpose for which the bonds are to be issued, and if for more than one purpose, pro- vision shall be made for balloting on each separate purpose. The sum total of the issue must be given to the pub lie, the dates of maturity of the bonds. and by ordinance the date of the cleo tion shall be fixed so that it shall not occur earlier than sixty days after the passage of said ordinance. The election shall be held and conducted, the vote thereon canvassed, and the result thereof declared, in the manner now or hereafter to be provided by law for municipal elections.

Removes Constitutional Restrictions.

Proposed Amendment No. II, when passed, will merely give back to the people their rights which they set aside in 1874 by the adoption of the constitution of that year. The amend ment, when adopted will permit the people of the cities and towns of one thousand or more population to hold elections to vote on any proposed bond issue. If, at such special election, held after due and proper notice has been given, the people vote to issue bonds for any certain prescribed pub lie improvement, then such bonds can be issued. No mayor or City Council can order bonds issued, no group of men, politicians or otherwise, will be permitted to issue bonds, no bonds can be issued at all unless ordered by the people at an election.

All Qualified Electors May Vote.

A careful survey of the bonding list of other states of the Union shows that nearly all of them permit all qualified electors to vote on the mat ter of issuing bonds. The friends of the amendment believe that such a provision is wise one. There is no provision in Amendment No. IA which will keep voter away from the polls because he is not a large or small owner of real estate. If he is quail fled elector, authorized to vote under the laws of the state, at other cleo tions, he will also be permitted to vote on bonding measures, under the terms of the present amendment.

Publicity ln Politics.
 "One of the most purifying steps h politics is the publication of cam patgn expensss. advocated by William T. Bryan. and now State and Ma tonal law. If publicity is good for purifying political campaigns. for keeping to candidate within the limit of honesty and propriety. why will 1t not be good in governmental affairs for keeping the public onlcial in check and the voter enlightened on the af- fairs of state?"
 At this point. the brief goes into the History of newspaper ,lssislation in Arkansas to show that the people of this state have less opportunity. on ac- count of inadequate publicity laws. to know what is going on in the manage lment of their affairs than the people of other rtates, where taxes are said to be very much lower than in Arkan- sas. On tho question of expense, the brief says:
 Tho chief argument against Act No. 3 is the expense Of course, 1t will cost money to make the publications required under this act. and the bill provides for 1t. The state is, also, in poor financial condition. But the state owes very largely the bankrupt condi- ton of its treasury to the fact that THE PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW. Graft CTS and plunderers have been allowed to prey-the people didn't know. The people will willingly pay their taxes if they know the money Is properly and judicially spent. Publicity will inform them.
