WILSON'S POLICIES
 ARE INDORSED

Columbia, s. C., May 2O.-The policy of President Wilson regarding the Mexican problem, Panama canal tolls and the tariff was indorsed here to- night in resolutions adopted by the democratic state convention. Approval also was given the regional reserve bank system.

Advocates of the revision as- serted that the present rules were not effective in preventing duplicate en- rollment of voters and that it was possible for a person to cast more than one ballot.
 A committee appointed to consider necessary changes was unable to re- port tonight and the convention ad- journed shortly after midnight to meet tomorrow morning, when it is ex- pected that the report of the commit tee will be received.
 The platform adopted affirmed al legiance to democratic principles as enunciated by Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson and William Jen- nings Bryan.
 Plans for the coming state primary, at which state and federal officers, including a candidate for United States senator, will be nominated, will be made at a meeting of the democratic state committee at the conclusion of the state convention.

The names of the seven men said to be well known throughout northern Mexico. could not be learned here.

Der of casualties are regarded here more as an evidence of the surprise of Villa attack and the complete success of his plans of battle than as an indication or faint heartedness and bad craftsmanship on the part of the federals.
 The reputation of Eusabio Calzado. map- ager of the railroad lines under consti- tutionalist control Is assurance that de- lay in the advance on Saltillo will be brief. To tear up a railroad by the roots today and replace it in operation tomor- row has become a commonplace incident to Calzado. General Villa but a few weeks ago ordered 100000 new ties from the sawmills of the Sierra Madre and other construction materials have been rushed to the front from Torreon. The 2oo miles between Torreon and Monterey was re- built by Senor Calzado in less than three weeks.
