SENATOR HANBROUGH
OUT FOR WILSON

New York, Sept. 12 Former Sena-
tor II. G. Hanbrough of North Dako-
ia, who served eighteen years in the
United States senate as a republican,
announced Tuesday that he intends
to support President Wilson for re-
election. He reached this decision
after hearing one of Chas. E. Hughes
speeches.
81 am going to support the presi-
dent as Wilson republican" the
ex-senator told National Chairman
Vance G.. Mccormick. Former Sena-
tor Banbrough. who was three times
elected to the United States senate
by the republicans of North Dakota,
said that be was enroute to his home
at Devils Lake and intended to enter
the campaign actively in behalf Of
the democratic national ticket.
cone Of the reasons that cannot
vote for Mr.. Hughes is that | cannot
conscientlously take orders from
Theodore Roosevelt and George w.
Perkins," continued the senator. Il
know them of old
After hearing the Grand Forks
address of Mr.. Hughes and noting the
fact that his tour of the Northwest
was stimulated by the active presence
of the president of the Great North
ern railway, I'ye been wondering
how many members of the non parti-
san league when they vote i'll Noyem-
Der Will take account of the real issue
in the campaign.
81 am for Wilson, a Wilson repub,
!Ican, because | believe in the prin-
cipIe Of Abraham Lincoln, rather than
man who represents the special in
terest and privileged classes as dis
tinguished from the true democracy
of the country"

CARRANZA's STEP FORWARD

General Carranza, as chief of the
de facto government, has issued a
proclamation calling an election to
choose an assembly, or congress.
When this congress has been elected
| it will assume the task of drafting u
new constitution and, upon the com
pietion of that work, a general cleo
tion is to be held at which all officers,
| from president down to the smallest
municipal berth, will be chosen.
| Senor Carranza, in announcing this
election, declares 1t is in accord with
| the expressed intentions of the Qua
deloupe convention of CONSTITUTIONAL
ist leaders, later ratified at Vera
Cruz, and that, in ordering it, he is
| but carrying out the promises made
then by the onstitutionalist chief
tains and his own word.
A short while ago Mexico held
municipal elections which were re-
markable for the fact that there was
no military guard stationed at the
| booths, as under the DiaZ regime, and
| the voters we're perfectly free to cast
their ballots as they saw fit. For the
| first time in more than quarter of a
century the Mexican citizen was not
| intimidated in his voting, nor can the
relative smallness of the vote cast or
the apparent lack of interest detract
| from the incident that thus distinct
| ly marked an epoch.
In calling this congressional cleo
tion CarranZa is taking another step
forward on his announced program
of progress and liberty in Mexico
Ii the elections are held in the same
free and uncoerced fashion as the
municipal elections were then the
world must credit the de facto gov
eminent with sincerity which it has
unc0u1promisiugiy doubted while the
military dictatorship has ruled
The world, however, Will not give
its full appreciation of the de facto
government until it has seen the
drafting of the new constitution COM
| pleted and satisfies itself that consti-
tuition is as fair and as just as the
needs OF republican form of govern
ment demands. Even then it must
withhold a measure of its approval
until 1t sees the cons mpletioD of the
| elections under the new constitution
the acceptance Of the results of those
elections by the military faction and
the complete restoration of civil gov.
ernment ii Mexico.
| If General CarranZa and the de
facto government can accomplish tn e
reformation of the Mexican govern
ment that they propose, and prove
themselves big enough to accept and
abide by the results of the constitu
tional convention and the later cleo
tions, then they will be entitled to be
hailed as the liberators of Mexico.
1t is not impossible, nor even i'm
probable, that this will happen.
Peace in Mexico can only be restor
ed by such open-minded fair dealing
that the Carranza program proposes
Military dictatorship, though it may
rule, can never restore complete or.
der. That can only be accomplished
when civil government is restore {

declared Miss Ida M. Tarbell in an
Interview in which she announced to

er to insure the reelection of Presi-
dent Wilson.
The noted author and editor, who
has earned world wide recognition as
one of Americas most intellectual
women, was an ardent worker in the

still progressive in thought and in
action. That is why she is for Will
