Principles-Meet at Chi
cago June 7.

Chicago, Jan 12-As political
entity the Progressive party will have
no existence in the national campaign
Of 1916 IL the Republicans grasp the
olive branch which was proffered TO
them by George w. Perkins and other
Bull Moose leaders In the meeting of
the Progressive national committee in
Chicago.
That the Progressives in their peace
advances are willing to forego a pres
idential nomination for Theodore
Roosevelt. if amalgamatiop and bar
mony can be brought about thereby,
was revealed in the following state
ment by Mr. Perkins, made at the end
of the committees session:
I'VE are all hopeful that both par
ties Will agree upon somebody. and it
need not necessarily be Mr.. Roose-
Welt"
This remark was made after Colonel
Roosevelt had sent a message to the
MOosers in which he asked them to
subordinate party to country.
There is crying need" said the
COlOucl, IudC We Sudll Cast dSluo I'LL
purely partisan consideration and dis
regard all but the vital issues affect
ing the national life, and shall strive
whole-heartedly for a sound American
ism, which shall insist that every man
within our borders shall be an Ameri-
can and nothing else.'
Immediately after the message had
been read the committee decided upon
Chicago as the place and June as
the time for holding a national conven-
ton. This is the date which the Re-
publican national committee has Sc
lected for its 1915 convention In Chi
cago.
| Mr.. Perkins enlarged upon his
earlier statement by issuing another
one in which he defined what be re-
| CARDS as the issues IN the coming
campaign and the relation which the
Progressive following holds TO them.
He reiterated the party declarations
OF 1912 and then proclaimed the
proposition OF national military and
naval preparedness as the prime issue
of the campaign this year.

Mexico, died here last night. Repeat

Huerta an Indian.
Victoriano Huerta was more typi-
cally Mexican" than any of his rivals
for the dictatorship of Mexico. de
was of almost pure Indian blood.
He was born in one of the provinces
in 1884 and was sixty-two years old.
AS a youth Victoriano Huerta was
sent TO the National Military school
at Chapultepec, where he took
seven years course, and was gradu-
ated in the engineers with credit.
After a time he was appointed TO
subordinate commands by President
Porfirio Diaz. He was known among
the half-savage Mexican soldiers as "a
man eater who ruled with iron.
After Diaz had been banished Huer-
ia soon became a national character.
He served under President Madero,
but when the committee of senators
ordered the arrest of Madero 1t was
Huerta who took the soldiers and ar
rested the president. That was on
February Is, 1913 Four days later
Madero was murdered while guards
were taking him to prison. Huerta
was blamed for this murder, but he
always denied all knowledge of it.
At the election on October &c, 1913,
Huerta declared himself elected presi-
dent of Mexico by an almost unani-
nous vote"
Wilson Refused Recognition.
But Carranza and Villa both OPP
posed Huerta and civil war has ragged
ever since. On the ground that Huer-
ia had won the presidency by the as
sassination of Madero, President VIII

president, and bided his time until a
stronger man should take his place.
