HENRICO DEMOCRATS
PREPARE, FOR PRIMARY
Important Ruling az to who May Vote

Who Must Serve Petitions.

The Henrico County Democratic Com
mittee met yesterday afternoon in the
fehrico Courthouse and discussed the
PROVISIONS of the new primary law.
mere are several provisions that diff
Ter from the former laws and rulings
and candidates for several Offices were
deeply interested In the decision OF the
committee. as Acknowledgement John
Garland Pollard. in an opinion. has
stated that while the law made certain
provisions. yet much power Is vested
IN the party committee and 1t can put
us own construction upon certain
points.
The law provides that all candida es
must have petition signed by num-
per OF voters. depending on the office.
betore they are eligible to election. The
committee yesterday decided that only
candidats for the Office Of supervisor
OF the county and those higher would
ne required to circulate petitions, as
the compensation from the smaller
orhces would not Justify the trouble to
which candidate would be put.
Candidates and voters were keenly
interested in what decision the COM
mi''ee would reach in the matter OF
me commissioners of revenue. They
were REQUIRED under the act TO be
voted Tor in the entire county and not.
AL IN the past, in their district alone.
mere was much discussion on this
p9iht and several addresses were made

JACKSON ASKS SUPPORT
OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Many Promises of Aid for Grent Negro
Exposition to lie Held Mt Fnir
Grounds I'm July.

Believing that the endorsement of
Theodore Roosevelt would tend to the
moral support OF the great negro expo-
sition which is TO be held at Richmond
AT the state Fair Grounds in July, Giles
H. jackson. president of the exposi-
ton, has written TO the discoverer of
the River of Doubt. and is expecting
reply from the eX-President within the
next day or two. 1t is. of course,
widely known fact that Giles and Theo-
dorc are friends of many years stand
ing. II is for this reason that Giles
wrote TO Teddy 10 enlist his interest
and support 1t may not be possible
that Teddy can visit the big exposition
in person, but Jackson feels assured
that he will hear from the leader of
TN" Bull Moose party within a very
short time.
Not discounting Teddy's influence in
the smallest degree, yet there are other
men in public life who are manifest
ing an interest in Giles Jackson and his
big show. one OF these is Mayor George
Ainslic. who has promised 10 issue a
proclamation TO the citizens of Rich
mond in the interests of the exposi-
ton. and il is also understood tina.
Governor Stuart is concerned in The
success of the exposition and that he
VIII very probably issue a proclamation
from his Office TO the people through
out the State. directing their attention
to the negro exposition and commend
ing this activity on the part of the coll
ored population.
II is known that Governor Stuart has
communicated with Senator Martin in
reference to the exposition. and that
Senator Martin was very largely re-
sponsible at Washington for the $4,000
Federal appropriation made by the gov
eminent for the success of the move
ment.
y few DAYS ago there was held at the
Office of Colonel Warren p. Taylor, OF
the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac Railroad, meeting which was
participated in by representatives OF
every railroad in the State of Virginia.
at which the matter OF reduced rates of
transportation to the negro exposition
in July was taken under discussion. The
meeting was addressed by Giles Jack
son, who spoke in a most characteristic
manner Colonel Taylor openly compli-
mented Jackson upon the marvellous
felicity of his observations and assured
him that the Virginia railroads would
do all in ;hcir power to further the
purposes of the negro exposition.

General Brown directed attention TO
the TACT that indications Justify the
belief that the visiting throngs will!

cally eliminated pleasure tours from
the Southern States tic Europe and the
abandonment OF their customary va
cation trips to Northern resorts by
thousands OF people in the states con-
tisuous 10 Virginia, for reasons Of
prudence and economy, are the causes
assigned for the unusual interest in
the reunion by the general public
this year.

AT SWORDS POINTS
 WITH MEXICO

For two years, President Wilson has managed to keer the United States out of 9 war of Mexican intervention though last spring the aetna clash seemed to have beer precipitated at Vera Cruz Once more the situation has approached a crisis. Gen Carranza has been infOrmeC in a note sent from the Unit ed States government that unless there is an improve ment in conditions with re Spect to foreigners and their interests in Mexican terri tory under his control such steps as may be necessary will be taken by the Amer can government to obtain the desired protection.
 The sending of a United States cruiser to Vera Cruz at this time to be accepted as indicating that this latest de- mand may have the effect of enraging Carranza or the American-hating population of Mexico City.
 The president and his ad- viSerS maintaining secrecy as to the exact nature of the lat est developments, but that the developments are of great importance can not be doubted. Increasing restiva- ness on the part of some O the European powers sug- geSt the possibility that this government has arrived a some understanding with them that may lead to more definite and vigorous actior than we have yet seen, in the event Carranza can not oth- erwiSe be brought to terms.
