mess. The conditions at the pres
ent time are somewhat improved,
but due solely to the effect OF the
war, and the great demands Of for
eign governments for supplies from
this country. Before the war be-
gan, there was balance Of trade
against the United States, the first
there had been in years, lessening
the production and sale Of Ameri-
can products.
We are more thoroughly convinc-
ed in d high protective tariff as the
best means Of stimulating progress
and enterprise in this nation, and as
the best means Of raising necessary
revenue for the running expenses OF
the government We condemn the
present mode under Democratic adj
ministration Of raising such revenue
in times Of peace by a direct tax
upon the people.
We condemn the attitude of the
present administration on the Euro
pean war situation. There has been
too much of the watchful waiting
policy persued, and the high stand
ard Of American ideals have not
been preserved. AS to the policy
with Mexico, we have been too long
and too patient, and long suffering
on account of the numerous acts of
outrages perpetrated upon our own
territory, and citizens Of our own
country within the borders of Mexi-
co, before taking action to avenge
these wrongs. There should have
been immediate action taken when
the first depredations were commit
ted, and in our opinion, had such
steps been taken promptly and Wig
orously we, today. would have been
in peace with Mexico, or to say the
least, we would have forced Mexico
into absolute respect for American
people, and American institutions
We re-affirm and re-endorse our
former actions taken in the state
relative to statewide prohibition,
and the rigid enforcement Of all Of
the laws of the state, and especially
those against the sales of intoxicat-
ing liquors. We heartily favor the
custer proceedings, which law was
made possible by the bold, fearless,
and invincible republican governor,
who first advocated such law, for
the protection Of the people against
crooked and dishonest officials. We
realize that nothing is more demon
alizing to any city; or community
than dishonest official life, and
nothing has brought greater re-
proach and bred more disrespect
among the people as a whole,
against the courts of the country,
than open defiance and willful re-
fusal to enforce the law, and for this
reason, we endorse every effort,
whether by our party, or our sister
party, in upholdine and maintaining
the dignity of the laws of the state
We are rejoiced that our party
appears to be united and standing
with a solid front throughout the
nation ready to engage in the on
coming ARRAY with the democratic
party, and to establish, If possible,
our principles Of government in this
great nation Of ours. Weare espec-
ially eratified with the evidences Of
peace and harmony in our own
county, district and state, and be-
speak victory for all our candidates.

With the twentieth century comes
the actual beginning of evolution
in social affairs, There have been
threats or reform and change in many
social customs and it has been on the
tapis many times to do away with
several exceedingly foolish and awk-
ward ceremonies in vogue between
the refined members of what is grace
fully called society. And there has
been 40 habit more senseless than
that of gentleman removing his hat
upon every meeting with female ac-
quaintanee. Heaven only knows
where such stupid and such an
awkward act received its origin. 1t
hes arbitrarily controlled the men
and was supposed to rank as mark
of the gentleman for as many years
back as history extends, despite the
colds it has caused and the men it has
hustled into their graves.

HERRERA IN REVOLT, BELIEF
FL Paso Holds Carranza General Has
Turned Against De Facto Gov
eminent.

Ell Paso, March 27.-The status of
General Luis Herrera was considered
here as doubtful as it has been since
the first report reaching here Of his
revolt. In spite of reports from
American consuls and emphatic state
ments from Carranza generals and Of
ficials, the belief that Herrera had
either turned against the de facto gov
eminent or was on the point OF doing
so was firmly held here.
Americans arriving here from the
interior gave fresh color to this belief
by circumstantial stories of Herrera's
detection and asserted that he was be-
tween Chihuahua and Parral, march
ing toward Torreon with at least 1000
troops.

scouts are proving invaluable to the
American cxpcas.ionary forces in Mex,
leo, according to Lieutenant T. S.
Bowen, who reached here, the first
army aviator to return to the border.
He has been invaded to San Anto-
MO as the result of a fall sustained
recently while landing near Casas
Grandes.
Lieutenant Bowen asserted that the
high attitudes and lack of gasoline and
oil in the district occupied by the
American troops are proving a serious
handicap iii the operation of the bi.
planes. He pointed out that since
joining the column the a~eroplanes
have generally been about IS miles
ahead OF the cavalry.

LITTLE HOPE OF TAKING
VILLA BAND FOR MONTHS
Pershing Sends Word That He Does
Not Expect Speedy Termination
to His Task.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 27.-Interest
in the Mexican situation has shifted
temporarily at least. from Northern
chihuahua to Durango and Coahuila,
where the Villistas appear to be gath
ering strength to such an extent that
Torreon is seriously threatened.
There has been no direct news from
Torreon received here for q couple of
days, but dispatches from Monterey
report an extremely grave situation.
The remaining women and children of
the American colony at Torreon sent
out of that city by the British vice
consul, Patrick O'Hea, who has taken
charge of American interests follow.
ing the departure of the United States
consul. have arrived at Monterey.
ViIlistas Attack Train.
A box al was all the accommoda-
lions they could get and through al
most the entire journey they were
subjected to a running fight from
bands of mounted Villistas who raced
alongside the train exchanging volleys
with the Carranza guard supplied by
General ~lgnacio Ramos.
AS far as the pursuit of Villa is con.
cerned the absolute dearth for days of
any definite, reliable news has caused
much of the interest in the chase to
vanish into a feeling of complete pessi-
mism. This was deepened materially
last night by word from Columbus
passed by the censo that General
Pershing had little expectation of a
speedy termination to his task and
that he was preparing for a campaign
of several months.

Fleeing Bandit Increases
His Following by Force

Utmost haste is being made in the
fight toward the mountains which
Villa is nearing rapidly, neither men
nor horses being spared. 1t is known
that he is practically without supplies
and ammunition and it is reported
that he is attempting to reach a neigh
borhood where he has ammunition
cached in three places.
Persons ia The district through
which he passed through recently say
his men are ravenously hungry and
are proceeding in a state of starva-
ton. Dead and dying horses are
passed daily by the American troops.
The haste which the bandit is making
in his fight would indicate that the
American forces are close on his heels.

VILLA ExTRIcATES HIMSELF
FROM DANGEROUS POSITION
-FLEES $50 MILES SOUTH
OF MEXICAN BORDER,
D0DD'S CAVALRYMEN RIDE
HARD AFTER OUTLAW BAND
General Pershing Divides Forces to
Provide Supporting Columns Along
Thinly Stretched Lines-ViIla Not
Weakened by Attack Made by
De Facto Troops.

San Antonio, Texas, March 2S.-
Francisco Villa has escaped from the
Mexican troops that had checked him
near N~amiquipa, and three columns
of American cavalry are pursuing him.
Already they are almost $50 miles
south of the border and unless Next
can forces bring the elusive bandit to
a stand, this distance will be greatly
increased by the end of the week.
Villas success in extricating him
self from the dangerous position into
which he had been driven by the Am
erican punitive force was related in
a detailed report by General Pershing
that reached General Funston here.
Ride Hard After Villa.
General Funston forwarded the re-
port to Washington without making
public any but the essential features.
Colonel DOdd is commanding the ad-
vanced columns that are riding hard
after Villa and his men and General
Pershing has divided his forces so as
to provide supporting columns along
the thinly stretched lines Of commune
cations from his most advanced base
at Ell Vale. From Ell Vale another
line is being maintained back to Casas
Grandes from where communication
with the border is maintained. ,
High Winds Hinder AeropIanes.
General Pershing himself is some.
where south of Casas Grandes direct.
ing the work of holding together his
forces and directing so far as posi-.
BILE the operations of Colonel Dodd.
Cavalry is being used along the lines
communicating with Ell Vale, where
a detachment of infantry is stationed.
Three ~aeronlanes are at FL Vale
and will be used in scouting as soon
as the high winds that have been
sweeping that part of Mexico for al
most a week subside, and which, ac-
cording to General Pershing, have
made effective assistance by them i'm.
possible.
Villa Not Weakened.
Details of the operations about Nam
iquipa hat concluded with the ESCAPE
of Villa were not revealed, but there
is little reason to believe that he
was badly whipped or even weakened
by the fighting directed against him
by the de facto government troops.
Reports last week from Mexican
sources indicated that he had been
severely defeated by the loyal forces
and a few reports stated that Ameri-
can troops had participated in the ac-
ton. 1t now appears that no Ameri-
cans actually were engaged and the
fact that Villa made his way through
what was described as an encircling
line of Mexican troops, was taken to
indicate that he was the victor.

Says Americans Supply villa.

Washington, March 25.-A resolution
denouncing as treason the furnishing
of supplies or ammunition to Villa was
introduced in the senate by Senator
Lewis OF Illinois. He would have all
guilty persons prosecuted as traitors.
Senator Lewis declared that American
authorities had knowledge of supplies
and money being furnished to Villa
from foreign countries and from the
United States.
