The Progressive party will not in

Roosevelt" Mr.. Perkins assert

to the Republicans. If they reply
that they will not agree on the

as nearly unanimous a choice as
our man is. We are willing to be

"If the Republican convention is
responsive to the patriotic spirit that
brought the Republican party into be-

spirit OF broad patriotism that rises
above partisanship. Should the ct

N. NJ April News of the second

American cavalrymen had outwitted

canoe as the manner in which the coup
was executed.
Ever since the Villa forces retreat
ed from Guerrero, the presence of Vii
II bands in some force between Guer-
rero and .Bachiniva, So miles north of
Guerrero had been known. 1t also
was evident from the reports to head
quarters that these Villa forces under
Manuel Lopez We're inclined to rely
for safety on their intimate knowledge
of the mountain passes. That they
were relying on nothing else than their
speed in making for difficult passes
was indicated last Friday, March 81,
when two American scouts inadver-
tently frightened the entire band, es-
timated at about 200, out of the town
of Bachiniva.
