patriotic paraders, who marched TO

More than 10000 persons gathered
In the great square bounded by the
cathedral and municipal palaces,
where they were addressed by GEN
eraI Carranza, War Minister Obre-
gon and other members of the gov
eminent. General Carranza told the
throngs that Mexico was not seeking
war, but would not avoid it at the
cost of national dignity.
Mexico said General Carranza,
will not declare war on the United
States, but will know how to do her

keynote speech on Wednesday, Sen.
ator James aroused the great crowd
in the Coliseum to a high pitch OF
enthusiasm and inspired them with
high hopes of success at the polls. He
dealt with subjects that had not been
touched upon by Temporary Chair
man Glynn and paid high tribute 10
President Wilson. And 1t was the
deeds OF the party and the name Of
the man that appealed to delegates
and visitors and caused demonstra-
ton that lasted nineteen minutes.
The phrase that caught the crowd
referred to President Wilson's foreign
policy.
Senator James said:
President Wilson's object is the
protection of American life and Amer
lean interests under international law.
The saving Of neutral life, the freedom
of the seas, and without orphaning q
single American child, without widow
ing single American mother, with
out dring a single gun, without the
shedding Of single drop OF blood he
wrung from the most militant spirit
that ever brooded above a battlefield,
an acknowledgement of American
rights and an agreement to American
demands
Applause drowned ont the words Of
the speaker before he had finished
the last sentence. Immediately there
were cries from all parts Of the hall.
Repeat it! Tell it over again. .
Give 1t to us again, Ollie"
Senator James nodded his assent
and waived his hand for silence.
Then slowly and effectively he re-
peated his words. while the crowd lis
tened in dead silence. Then came q
deafening cheer. and 1t was repeated
over and over again in undiminished
strength and vigor while delegates and
visitors stood up and thrilled with the
sound OF 10000 voices tuned to the bat
tie OF politics.

Washington. Upon General Car

heed his demands for recall OF Amer
lean troops from Mexico hinges the
question Of Mexican war. in the
opinion Of President Wilson's close
advisers. They are prepared for the
possibility of open hosilities after the
note has reached Carranza's hands.
No indication has scome that the
first chiefs attitude of implacable hos
tility would be shaken by the reiter-
ated declaration of the latest commu-
nication that the United States has no
aggressive or warlike purpose toward
Mexico, but is firmly resolved to pro-
tect her borders and end brigandage
in the border states.
