Here Is the Invitation.

The invitation extended to Governor
Whitman, which these men signed, was
written Friday and reached Governor
Whitman Saturday. 1t follows:
"The newspapers have recently stat
ed that ticket, which, from the per-
sonnet is clearly not Progressive but
a pro-Wilson ticket, is to be placed In
the Progressive primaries.
Judge Seabury is mentioned as the
candidate for our gubernatorial nomi-
nation. We, as Progressives, supported
him for the Court Of Appeals in 1914.
We believe he is an excellent judge;
but we also believe that he can best
serve the people in a judicial position.

CARRANZA TO SHOW HIS
ABILITY TO PROTECT BORDER

Washington. May 23-The action
of the Carranza government in order
ing 400 into Northern Mexico. in.
stead of the 10000 agreed on by Gen.
erals Scott and Obregon. was regarded
by army officials today as menace
TO the United States.
No explanation was given in ofiiciaI
reports announcing this heavy troop
movement, but two views were gen.
orally expressed:
First, that Carranza by asseu,b bling
the largest army he has yet had In
the vicinity of the border hopes Ia
demonstrate to the United States his
ability to protect the American side
from invasion, thus making the con-
tinued presence of American troops
in Mexico unnecessary.
Second, that Carranza, by a show
OF force outnumbering the American
troops in Mexico. plans this troop
movement to back up his demand for
withdrawal by force of arms. In
army circles, where Carranza's SINGER
ity from the first has been doubted,
the latter theory found some support,
/ but in more conservative State De-
partment quarters the nrst theory was
generally credited.

Mexico City, May 23.-A note
from the de facto governnaeTlt OF
Mexico to the government OF thu
United States demanding the inn
mediate withdrawal OF the Ameri-
tan troops from Mexico was dis
patched to Washington today.
The note states that the Mext-

are ready for war rather than to
have their national honor and
sovereignty trampled upon.
The Mexican government il In
formed, the note states, that more

declares that the Mexican people
look upon this movement ~ moro
than a mere punitive expedition

The imposition by Justice Cruitchfield
yesterday of the minimum fine OF 500
on w. b. Brooks of Louisa County,
for peddling country produce in Rich
mond without the necessary city
license. brings sharply before the pub
lie the fact that no person other than
the grower of the produce which he
offers for fsale has the right to sell
produce here without paying license.
1t appears. that Mr.. Brooks either
bought produce from country mer-
chants and hauled II to Richmond and
sold 1t. or handled 1t on a commission
basis for the merchants from whom
he received the butter. eggs. chickens,
etc He was represented in court BY
Mr.. Gilbert X. Pollock and was prose

The proof against Brooks was absolute
and he made no defense.
