TALK PLATFORM
Republican and Progressive
Leaders COIlabOrate.
G.. o. P. Chiefs Predict Hughes
on Third Ballot.

washington, May ga tentative
draft of the Republican national plat
form has been prepared jointly by
Republican and Progressive leaders.
1t embodies principles held both by
former President Roosevelt and Su-
preme Court Justice Charles E.
Hughes.
Copies of the tentative draft will be
sent to Colonel Roosevelt and Justice
Hughes. 1t was stated today by a
Republican leader that the platform.
views of both Colonel Roosevelt and
Justice Hughes.
So far as the senate Republicans are
concerned, the opinion seems to pre-
vail that the ticket to be nominated
at Chicago will be:
For president, Charles E. Hughes of
New York.
For vice president, Charles w.
Fairbanks of Indiana.
Then T. r. Will Support Hughes.
Republican leaders claim to have
assurances that if the convention
names Justice Hughes, he will have
the support of Colonel Roosevelt.
Hughes, they say, will not make a
formidable showing on the first ballot
His strength will swell on the second
and he will be nominated by acclama
ton after the third.
The Republican campaignerS will
lay stress upon the business folly of
the Democratic party as well as on
President Wilson's foreign policies.
They will charge that if the war had
not come in 1914, business conditions
four months after August of that year
would have been such that a serious
panic would have resulted.

HE DID NOT BEAT HER
Mother of Bill Slaven Says She Ran
Him Out of the House.

The sermon, preached to nineteen
year-old Bill Slaven two weeks ago by
Robert Yates. police Judge. doesn't
seem to have sunk very deep. The
judge let Bill out of Jail and told him
in a two-stick sermon to go to work
and help support his mother and the
rest of the family.
Bill was back in Jail last night. The
police heard he not only had failed
to go to work but that he had beaten
up his mother when she insisted that
he follow the courts instructions. lie
was picked up to be held for investiga-
ton.
The mother. Mrs Jack SIaven, says
Bill didn't beat her. that he tried to
but that she and her fifteen-year-
daughter put him on the rum Besides,
Mrs. Slaven doesn't think Judge Yates
did right when he turned the boy loose
before. Apparently she is perfectly
willing to go ahead and work at the
Wolff Packing plant to support her
family of five children if the police
will just run Bill out of town and keep
him out. Jack Slaven. the husband
and father, was killed last March while
helping move a house in North To-
peka. At the time he was killed Mrs.
Slaven had, in addition to her own
numerous family. a baby that had
been deserted by its parents

OVER PROHIBITION
Gales and De La Huerta Are
at Daggers' Points.
Another Bloody Revolution
About to Break in Sonora.

Douglas, Ariz. May 23.-Another
bloody internal revolution is expected
to break out in Sonora a result of
the quarrel that has ended the ac-
quaintance of p. Elias Gales. the mill
tary governor, and Adolfo De La
Huerra, the civil governor designate.
A few days ago De La Huerta issued
manifesto annulling Gales prohibit
ton laws. Gales at once counter
manded the civil governors decree.
Today, backed by instructions from
Mexico City, De La Huerta demanded
that Gales proclaim publicly De La
Huerta's assumption of civil authority
in Sonora.
Gales retorted that Mexico City was
not Sonora and reached for his gun.
De La Huerta made a quick exit
Orders Huerta Ignored.
Instructions went out from Gales
Monday night to all his jefes remind
ing them that he (P. Elias Calles) was
the only governor of the state and that
De La Huerta was merely an envoy
from Mexico City in Sonora on suffer-
ance. Jefes were commanded to
ignore De La Huerta and any orders
he might attempt to give. AS a pre-
cautionary move, Gales telegraphed
the Hermosillo garrison to come to
Aqua Prieta.
Oregon lieutenants were rushing
via the United States, frantic cable
grams urging him to hurry up to So
nora and avoid a clash at arms be-
tween Gales forces and the anti-Calles
men rallying back of De La Huerta.
American mining men arriving here
from interior Sonora reported starva-
ton general among the Indians. Two
boys whom they picked up and sue
cored along one of the trails said
there was a great movement north of
the starving Yaquis. These hordes
were boiling green cowhides for broth
and making cruel from herbs and
