The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1914-02-26

The Democrats apparently fail
to find the harmony they are seek
ing and it would seem as though
their only hope Of doing anything
this year would be to call an early
convention and make nomina-
ton. T. r. Preston of Chatta-
uooga looms up head and should
ers above the field and he should
be given the race this year with
out primary contest which
would reopen old sores within the
party. The unfortunate contro-
yersy between Senator Lea and
Major Stahlman has not helped
the situation.

Each candidate for each office

that they do not care to tell the
truth or else some one has been
fooling them.

 OF RESOLUTION

Washington. April 20.-The admlnistra- tion's plans for further action against Mexico marked time tonight pending the passage of a resolution by Congress at,- thorizing President Wilson to use the army and navy as he saw fit.
 After an hour and a half's conference at the White House, both Secretary Dan iels and Secretary Garrison announced that no orders would be issued tonight to Admiral Badgers fleet or to the army.
 Rear Admirals Blue and Fislxe carried to the conference with them war man of the coast of Mexico and there was q general discussion of steps that might be necessary in The near future. It was said. however that the conference was general in character and that no definite sts )s would be announced until Congress had acted.

A TRIVIAL ONE INCIDENT NOT

''The incident cannot be regarded as a trivial one, especially as two of the men arrested were taken from the boat itself that is to say, from the territory of the lnfsed States, but had it stood ny itself, il might have been attributed to the ig- norance or arrogance of a single officer Unfortunately 1t was not an isolated case series of incidents have recently oc- cured which cannot but create the im- precision that the representatives of Gen eral Huerta were willing to go out of their way to show disregard for the dig nity and rights of this government and felt perfectly safe In doing what they pleased making free to show in many ways their irritation and contempt. A few days after the incident at Tampeo an orderly from the U. s. & Minne- sota was arrested, at Vera Csiiz while ashore in uniform to obtain the ship $ mall and WAS for time thrown into jail.

Wilson Tells Newspaper Correspondents Outlook Not War Between Orited States and Mexico-Issue is Be-

and their laws, and at present am going to Congress to present special situation and seek their approval to meet that spe- cial situation.
 Tt Is only an issue between this gov ernment and person calling himself the provisional President of Mexico. whose right to call himself such we have never recognized in any way.
 So that I had feeling of uneasiness as I read the newspapers today as if the country were getting on fire with war en- thusiasm. I have no enthusiasm for war |; have an enthusiasm for justice and for the dignity of the United States, but not for war. and this need not eventuate into war. if we handle 1t with firmness and promptness."

1 ever else it may be employed, for in the l benefit of mankind
 | The President laid the situation before l Congress in these words.
 l "Gentlemen of the Congress-It is my | duty to call your attention to a situation which has arisen in our dealings with Gen. Viotoriano Huerta at Mexico City which calls for action, and to ask your advice
 and cooperation in acting upon 1t. Upon the 10th of April paymaster of the U. $. E. Dolphin landed at the lturbide bridge at Tampieo with a whaleboat and boats crew to take off certain supplies needed by his ship, and while engaged in loading the boat was arrested by an officer
 and squad of the men of the army of Gen eral Huerta.
 Neither the paymaster nor any one of the boats crew was armed.
 Two of the men were standing in the boat when the arrest occurred and were
 obliged to leave it and submit to be taken into custody. notwithstanding the fact that the boats carried both at her bow
 and her stern the flag of the United
 States. The officer who made tho arrest was proceeding up one of the streets of | the town with his' prisoners when met by s.n officer hf higher authority Wiio ordered him to return to the landing and await orders and within an hour and a half from the time of the arrest orders were received from the commander of the
 Huertista forces at Tampico for the re-
 lease of the paymaster and his men. The
 release was followed by apologies from the
 commander and later by an expression of
 regret by General Huerta himself. Gen.
 eral IIuerta urged that martial law ob
 tained at the time at Tampico: that
 orders had been issued that no one should
 be allowed to land at the Iturbide bridge
 and that our sailors had no right to land
 there. Our naval commanders at the port
 had not been notified by any such prohi-
 btion, and even if they had been the only
 justifiable course open to the local au-
 thorities would have been to request the
 paymaster and his crew to withdraw and
