SIMS LEAVES POST At
WASHINGTON To COPE
WITH DUDLEY PORTER
Congressman Returns To Dis
trict In Effort To Stem
Tide Toward Porter

JACKSON, Tenn, July 20. -
There has been much talk in
political circles locally since the
announcement from Washington
and the assurance of T. W. Sims
friends here that the hefty con-
gresham would return to this
district to personally look after
his political fences. Such change
of attitude upon the part of the
congressman and his friends is
regarded by many here as very
significant, since it is remem-
bered that Mr.. Sims wrote to
many of his constituents over
the district early in the cam
paign, requesting information
as to the advisability of return
ing to the district and was ad-
vlsed by many that it would not
be necessary. Thereupon, it
was announced through the pap
ers in a special from Washington
that Congressman Sims had
never left his post of duty even
to participate in campaigns for
his own denomination, and that
he would remain steadfast to this
rule now that the country need
ed his services more than ever.
Dudley Porter of Paris. who
announced his candidacy to sue
ceed Mr.. Sims when the con-
gressman announced his candi-
dacy for United States senator
BILE the senatorial primary, has
Edst completed a thorough can
vass of the district, and it is re-
ported that wreckage to the Sims
fences is the result. Anyhow,
the alarm among Sims friends
here reached Washington, and
the congressman suddenly fell
from the pedestal of the high
patriotic ideals formerly an
nounced, and left Immediately
for the old Eighth.
1t is believed by many who
keep in close touch with political
conditions here that the congress-
mans friends were not willing
in his absence to assume respon.
sibility for his foreshadowed
defeat. There is no doubt that
the path Mr.. Sims has safely
travelled and that has been so
smooth for twenty years is now
not without rocks, and that he is
returning to make an effort to
smooth it out again. 1t is not
known who will manage Mr..
Sims campaign, and the rumor
is gaining currency to the effect
that this. might possibly be one
of the causes of his unexpected
return-to determine the ques-
tion of manager and that the
toga, perchance, might fit the
form of Mr.. J. D. Hunt, as Henry
Graper, Sims former manager,
left the state several weeks ago,
and it is not known just when

Pershing Keeps in Touch With

Ell Paso, March 15.-An ironclad
censorship that even refuses confirma-
ton or denial of a report that Hachita,
New Mexico, was captured by Carran-
zista troops, gave rise to the belief
today that the American expedition
after Villa was about to move.
Brigadier General ]. j. Pershing's s
orders were to cross into Mexico when
he was ready. Americans arriving at
Deming, New Mexico, from Columbus,
stated that the expedition would begin

With the report that 5000 cavalry
under Pershing will make up the fly

fantry will be used in the expedition,
it was believed, the infantry regiments
coming toward Mexico from interior
posts being used simply to patrol the
border.
With the strict censorship main

blew from the north, making it seem
colder than it really was. A slight

day. The Kaw river remains prac-

OFFICIALS Wait
Washington UninfOrmed as to
Border Troop Movements.
War Department Has ReaSSur-
ing Advice From Mexico.

Washington, March 15.-Adminis-
tration officials still were without in
formation early today that American
troops had crossed the border in pur-
suit of Villa and his bandits. Secre-
tary Baker, who remained at his desk
at the war department until an early
hour today going over official dis
patches and reports from the border,
announced that no word had come
that troops were moving into Mexico.
Officials were gratified today that
the American note, accepting General
Carranza's proposal for a reciprocal
agreement, whereby either his troops
or American troops may hunt down
the Villa bandits on either side of the
border, had been favorably received
at Queretaro, where the Carranza gov
ernment is located
Statements setting forth all that has
taken place since the Columbus raid
and of the Washington governments
attitude and its reciprocal arrange
ment with the Carranza governments
were on their way today to American
representatives in Mexico. This step
was taken to prevent distorted YER
sions of the American purpose in send
ing armed forces across the border be-
ing widely circulated in the southern
republic. Officials hope thereby to
make plain the peaceful purpose of
the United States toward all Mexicans
except Villa and his bandits
Re-assuring advices from Mexico
continue to reach the government.
These say that there have been no
demonstrations of i'll feeling against
the United States because of the deter
mination to hunt down Villa outlaws

IN CANADA
Former Governor of Kansas in
Alberta Politics.
He Started Fred Funston on
His Military Career.

Ottawa, Ont, March 15.-J. w
Leedy, former Populist governor of
Kansas and now residing at White
Court, on the Mcleod river. north of
Edmonton, will be a candidate for the
legislature of Alberta at the next cleo
tion which probably will take place
next year. He was a Republican and
Populist in the United States, but
favors the liberal side in this country.
He is anxious to introduce a better
banking system, which he asserts can
be obtained by following the methods
of Kansas.
John w. Leedy's life has been one
of excitement and achievement since
childhood. He was born in Richland
county, Ohio, and when a youth IA
years old endeavored to enlist when
President Lincoln called for volun-
teers. His services were refused but
he remained with an Ohio comany on
the battle front until the close of the
war. From then until 1880 when he
moved to Kansas His life was spent as
farmer and a clerk in Indiana. John
Geedy settled on farm near Leroy,
Coffey county, and at that time was
Republican. Later he became a DEM
ocrat until the Populist party was or
ganized when he joined It's ranks and
soon became a leader. He was a state
senator from 1892 to 1896 and gov
ernor during the Spanish-American
war from 1896 to 1899. 1t was
Governor Leedy who started General
Fred Funston on his military career,
by appointing him colonel of the
twentieth Kansas In 1901 Leedy
moved to Alaska, where he began the
practice of law
