BECkHAM LEADS
IN BOYLE COUNTY. e

The Danville Advocate, a distinctly
antl-Beckham paper, under the cap
ton, "Beckham in Lead" says:
AN Advocate representative, &C
companied by Mr.. B. C. Berry, took
a straw ballot in the Senatorial race
on both sides of Main street between
Second and Fourth streets Eighty
five votes were cast OF the number
81 were for Beckham, q were for
Stanley and 6 were for McCreary.
The voting was largely confined to
country people. Some time ago a
straw ballot was taken among the bus
mess men and Stanley showed a con-
siderable lead.
There were several surprises in the
vote-taking Saturday. One was the
very small vote received by Governor
McCreary, and another was the large
number of voters who declared they
had not yet fully made up their minds
in the Senatorial race.
practically a third of those who
were asked to vote declared they had
not yet made up their minds Another
surprise was the fact that one or two
who had voted for Stanley on the pre-
vious ballot voted for Beckham on
Saturday. The present indications
are that Stanley will get better than
an even break in the city of Danville,
while Beckham will get large major
ity in the county, judging by present
sentiment

no campaign so far, while the Beck
ham forces have been working agrees
Svely for some weeks.
1.-THE McCreary forces have not yet
taken any steps, but the McCreary
leaders say there will be something
doing when they get busy. That
there is hot rivalry between Beckham
and Stanley forces was evidenced by
the declaration of few Democrats
that if Beckham got the nomination
they would not support him, and by
few that if Stanley got the nomina-

THE DICTATORSHIP
Authorizes ENJOYS to Sub
NIT His Resignation to

DOWN AND OUT
No Successor Mentioned ir
Dispatches Received from
Mexican Capital

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-General
Huerta has authorized the Mexican
mediation delegates to submit his
resignation in case such course is
found necessary to settlement in
the peace negotiations.
This was stated positively in dis
patches to-day from a thoroughly COM
petent diplomatic source in Mexico
City, to one of the foreign representa-
tives here and confirms limitations
given by friends of the delegates here
yesterday
According to this information from
Mexico City, Gen. Huerta at first au-
thorized the delegates to discuss only
the question of the Tampico conflict
leading to the American occupation of
Vera ZruZ.
Later the Mexican dictator, it is
explained, came to recognize the ne
cessity of broader settlement and
then conveyed to the delegates assur-
ances that he was prepared to step
down, should this course be found
necessary by them.
The problem causing chief concern
to diplomats in Mexico City now is
that of the form of administration to
be established during the interregnum
before a constitutionally elected Pres
ident could assume office.
No intimations concerning the name
of possible successor to Huerta were
contained in the dispatch, this subject
being one in which it would be neces-
sary to consult the opinion of consti-
tutionalits and other leaders in Mex
leo

with the bright faces of the children,
the decorations of syringa and snow
ball blossoms on a background of
green, and canary birds singing mer-
rily in their gilded cages. The ex-
ercises opened with the professional,

aisles to their respective places sing
a glad song to the piano accompanl-
ment played by Miss Matte Lilies

of all the children. Words OF well
come were spoken by Imogene Alex
ander, of the primary class, followed
by a recitation by Leonard Fronk.

with refrain by the children of the
primary class, was sweetly sung.
Elizabeth Lilleston followed with a
recitation we'll spoken, and Summer
Flowers" by the pupils Of the first
and second Junior classes, was one
of the prettiest numbers on the pro-
gram. Rev. Mr.. Sims gave a short
| talk commencing the exercises and
making an appeal for an Offering
which was taken by six manly boys
The exercises concluded with hymn
'True-Hearted," by the congregation
and the benediction by Mr.. Bradley

Roll. a number of little ones Delns
brought to the altar and the welcome
was voiced by five little girls, Eliza
