ILLINOIS ENJOYS
POLITICAL BATTLE
Women Go to the Polls TODAY and
Vote In Primary For Candi-
dates.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Eept 1.-The
voters of 1llois, including a liberal
proportion Of women, went to the
polls today to make their selections
among fifteen hundred candidates for
state, congressional and legislative
nominations. Eleven hundred out of
the total number whoe names appear
Oh the primary ballots are contesting
for nominations for seats In the leg
islature. A large number Of Demo
Gratis are aspiring to state offices than
ever before in the history Of the state
For most Of the offices there are three
or four times as many Democratic
candidates as Republicans. Pro
gressives have but few opposing pri-
mary candidates.
Public interest center chilly in the
contest for the Democratic nomina-
ton for United States senator to sue
coed Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman,
whose term will expire next March.
~ 10 Vic HTSI llI1lC Ill Tie history
CT the state that the people have had
an opportunity to nominate and elect
senator by direct vote, under the
new amendment to the Federal con-
constitution. The contest has been
one Of the most interesting that ILL
nois has seen in many years.
On the Republican side, where Sen.
ator Sherman has little action oppo
sition for the nomination, the situa-
ton is quite clearly defined. The
names of several Republican aspir
ants appear on the ballots but their
strength is not considered formidable
and it is generally believed that
Senator Sherman will be renomipa-
ted by a substantial majority.
On the Democratic side the situa-
ton is entirely different. More than
DOZEN Democrats entered the race

National Commission Meets to
Take Means of Protection
Against the Outlaws.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

NEW YORK, April 22.-The Ma
tional Commission is in session in
Chicago today considering a matter
of vital Importance to baseball, the
Federal League.
Turing the winter those high in
the organized game declared that the
Feds were firecracker proposition
and that they would explode on July
4, If not earlier. However, if there
were not certain successes following
in the wake of the outlaw movement
there would be no special gathering
in Chicago today.
1t is understood that the prime
matter that will come up for discus
sion today will be the matter of
waving on the rule which compels
the major leagues to reduce their
rosters to twenty-five men by May
Is. 1t is felt by some that should
the surplus material from the upper
circuits be sent to the minors next
month it would mean that many of
the disappointed and disgruntled
would flop to the league that is prov
ing considerably more of a thorn in
the side of organized baseball than
many know and still others refuse to
admit
From the outside it would appear as
though one OF the most effective means
of fighting the Federal League would
be through insisting that the ma jors
send back talent at the earliest moment
possible. While they have yet to show
that they can seriously Inconvenience
any OF the major league clubs where
they are attempting to slit patronage,
II is, nevertheless a fact that GER
tain of the class IA clubs have al
ready commenced to feel the sting. To
fortify these and ALLEVIATE the affec-
ton of the fans from the Feds would,
II would seem, initiate greatly against
the chances of the Gilmore company's
success.
Clark Griffith declares that he will
not be influenced in the slightest by
any threat Of the Feds to grab men he
decides TO send back for further sea-
soning. Even now he Is dickering for
the disposal of the extra men and by
the time the time limit is reached he
expects to have all these matters ar
ranged satisfactorily to himself. Even
though the National Commission should
today decide TO waive the twenty-five
man limit for this year. Griffith will
not avail himself of the concession.
but will go on with his plans the same
as though there was no outlaw organi-
cation.
It is, indeed. a disappointed and dis
gusted band OF Nationals who are to-
day still recovering from the shock
which they received yesterday in al

when all hope seemed vanished.
Today Boehling himself is not able
to explain the catastrophe, but from
the stand il appeared as though The

claiming hard luck, to place blame Of
any poor fielding or disparage the vic

AN INSULT TO THE INTELLIGENCE
So a Reader Regards the Wil'onian
Utterances on Mexico.

Sir: It is exquisitely pleasant to De
told by an administration spokesman
thai president Wilson at no time hau
regarded the United States as the ar
bitter of the internal affairs OF mexico,
and that his purpose now, as always, 10
to leave the southern repuollc un-
hindered to settle the differences pc
tween the various elements co"P0S-
ing it," " It'd md his
demands on the Huerta government:
we're not interference with the INTERNAL
affairs of Mexico. Oh, no!
White House messages to Congress
and he press did not presume to dlc-
tate what Mexico sh uld do to be saved
Mercy, no!
The administration moral and ma
terial support of the Nilla-Carranza
re olution was only a tgment OF the
agination. Why, certainly!
The use of the army and navy oil inc
limited States Dust Huerta, at cost
of more than 100000 nd a score OF
Young American lives, was nothing but
a little pleasure jaunt without purpose
The occupation Of Vera Cruz and the
farcical pretence of mediation at Mag
ara had nothing to do with Mexico ~
all, at all!
What is it, l ask, and l am sure
countless others ask, that makes the
administration utterances in regard to
Mexico so brazenly opposed to facts
that a straight thinking mind is forced
to the conclusion that the administra-
tior thinks brazenness a virtue or that
we as Il leople are not expected to re-
sent an insult to the intelligence?

to teach certain dogmas of Christian theology to
