whether there was foundation for cur

Carranza. following General Aware
Obregon's Victories over General villa
at Celaya and the collapse OF the
villa opposition along the Mexican
west coast Secretary Bryan added
that suggestions OF recognition had
been received but he made it plain
that there had been no application for
recognition and that there was nothing
before the State Department which
could be regarded as sufficient To raise
a discussion OF recognition at this

principle at critical moment in the
nations history added another sem

devoted to arduous political cam

Notwithstandin his political de-
feats, as three times Democratic nom

large personal following.
When Mr.. Bryan returned from a
trip around the world in 1910 his
speech advocating governmental own
