so serious that regular troops have
been sent by President Wilson to aid

The strike started Sept. %, 1918,

Hope For Peace, But War Pre-
parations Continue.
While the United States marines,
reinforced with 47oo troops under
General Funston sent by sea from
Galveston, Texas, are holding Vera
Cruz under martial law, preliminary
steps have been taken to open peace
negotiations between the United
States aud the Huerta government at
Mexico City. Brazil, Chile and
Argentina last Saturday offered their
services as medlators 10 arbitrate the
/, matter and avert war. President
Wilson and Huerta have both accept
ed the offer, and the German govern.
meot through Its embassy at Mexico
City has offered to exert influence un
Huerta 10 the interest Of eace.
10 the meantime, while awaiting
developments, war preparations By
this counlry are going forward
Regular troops and national guard
are being statio0ed all along the
border. prepared to resist Mexican
raids. Congress has passed III.
volunteer army bill aud la the event
that war becomes Inevitable will
authorize the president to call for
25O.0OO men.
The rebels, or constitutionalists,
are continuing their operations
against Huerta's federals in northern
Mexico, their latest signal success
being the capture OF the important
city OF Monterey. The federals then
burned Nuev0 Laredo across the
border from Texas and abandoned
the place. the rebels occupying It.
During the disturbance ut Laredo
shots were exchanged across the Dor
der between the federals and United
States troops before the federals
finally abandoned the town. The
note of Caranza, the cOnstitutionalist
president, to the American govern.
ment, obiecting to the capture of
Vera Cruz and suggesting that the
Americans should evacuate the place,
does not appear to have met with the
approval of Caranza's subordinates.
His military CHIEF, General Villa.
came to the border to assure the
Americans OF his friendship. Villa
said the constitutionalists would be-
foolish to join Huerta in war against
the United States aud he hoped the
Americans would keep Vera Cruz
"bottled up tight" However. the
Mexican character Is regarded as
deceptive and this government, Will.
hoping for peace, is not placing CON-
plete confidence in Villas words.
Large numbers of Americans, who
have been living In Mexico City are
leaving and.returninR to the United
States as refugees. Mobs 10 the

could get away.
The last OF the diplomatic relations
between this country and Mexico
were broken OF last week, when the
Mexican charge at Washington and
the American charge at Mexico City
were given their passports.

HOW IT Will Be DONE
Platform Conventions to be
Held In June.
At The STATE CAPITAL
County Central Committees 7
Select Delegates.

Politicians Of various complex
ions are up to their ears il plan:
for the party platform conventions
It is high time, in their opinion, te
put the machinery in motion, say.
the Boise Statesman.
These conventions are not to be
held until the last Tuesday in June
but there is preliminary work to be
done. There are delegates to be
chosen and there are tentative
drafts Of the platforms to be made.
Platform conventions and the
selection of delegates are provided
for in the preliminary election law
as amended in the last session OF
the legislature. As to the selec-
ton Of delegates the law says:
"The county central committee
of each county shall meet on the
second Tuesday Of June prior to
the primary election and elect
delegates belonging to the same
political party TO attend a state
platform convention of such party,
to be held at the time and place
herein provided. The number of
delegates to be elected by each
county central committee shall be
number equal to three times the
number of state representatives to
be elected from such county at the
general election therein for that
year. No proxies shall be allowed
in such convention, but the men,
bers of the delegation from each
county in actual attendance shall
be entitled tc cast the full vote of
such delegation on all questions
arising in such convention.
The primary law as amended
provides also for the election Of a
county committee in each county,
to be made up of one member from
each precinct elected directly by
the party voters of the precinct,
but as this provision of the law
does not become operative until
after the next primary. the dele
gates to the state conventions this
year will be chosen by the old
county committees.
All parties must meet on the
same day and promulgate their
platform of principles on the same
day. There will be no holding
back by any party to take advant-
age of the errors of others. On
this point the new law says:
"The state platform conventions
of all political parties, subject to
the provisions of this act shall
meet at the seat of state govern
ment at II o'clock a. M, on the
last Tuesday of June before the
primary election, and shall FORTH
with organize and by majority vote
adopt and promulgate the party
principles and declarations Of their
respective parties, and shall with
in three days after the assembling
file a copy Of such platform with
the secretary Of state, which copy
shall be certified as the platform
of such political party by the
chairman and secretary of such
con 1ention.'
Already there is jockeying
among the parties for position on
the liquor issue, which bids fair to
be live wire in the coming cam
paign, and it will be especially
interesting to note the outcome Of
the platform conventions.
The primary election will be
held the first Tuesday in Seprem.

the advantage of him in one respect.
They were scions of wealthy families,
their positions in society were as

In one respect, however, Warren
felt himself their superior. Val Win

the same college as himself, had ap-

spending their money. They had no

One day, an eventful one for Jas
