MORE DEMONSTRATIONS
AGAINST AMERICANA
Citizens Of United States Leaving
Border In Large Numbers-un-
easlness at Washinqton.


Washington.-Anti- dem
onstrations in northern Mexico con-
tinue, according to official advices, par.
ticularly in the States Of Chihuahua,
San Luis Potosi and Neuvo Leon, and
consular agents have reported that
the temple Of the people appears such
that any eventuality might be possi.
BILE. Americans are leaving for the
border in steadily increasing numbers
and border agents have been instruct
ed to urge those seeking to return 10
Mexico not to do so for the present.
Officials here showed considerable
uneasiness.
A mass meeting was held at Sal
tillo at which many speeches resentine
the presence Of American troops IN
Mexico were made. Similar meetings
have been held or are contemplate at
other points. The only violence
against American property reported
was at Chihuahua City and Monterey,
where there are no consular agents.
It is said that while General Car.
ranza's forces were trying to overawe
the demonstrators, their control was
not to be depended on entirely In
some districts. Army officials have
no fears for the safety OF the AmePi'
can expedition.

Burton Goes to Fairbanks.

Burton Goes to Fairbanks.
With the end of the balloting for
the presidential nomination and the
official announcement the balloting
for Vice President began. There were
some surprise when Governor Willis
of Ohio withdrew Burton's name and
cast the whole block Of Ohio votes for
Fairbanks.
After Chairman Harding had Off.
cially announced the nomination OF
Fairbanks, the usual resolutions were
passed. Chairman Hilles called a
meeting of the new National commit.
tee for organization, and the conven'
tion adjourned.
Notable Convention.
The convention was notable in po.
litical history for many things. A
man who had steadfastly refused to
seek the nomination had been chosen;
it was the first Republican convention
since 1888 which had been forced to
take more than one ballot to agree
upon a candidate, and it had been
marked by a lack Of riotous demon
stration and nervous enthusiasm
which hitherto had been a feature
of such gatherings. It did not touch
any Of the existing records for sus.
tanned demonstrations, but despite
the fact that it was wholly and decid.
edly "unbossed;" 1t moved with pre-.
cision and quietness which. had not
been equalled since the Mckinley con.
yention in philadelphia. - -

PRESIDENT WILSON
DRAFTS PLATFORM
TO BE ADOPTED BY DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL CONVENTION At
ST. LOUIS.
HONOR AND PEACE FOR US.
Keeping America Out Of War and at
Same Time Maintaining National
Honor VIII Be Foundation Of For
elpn Affairs Plank.

Washington.-The outcome Of the
Administration efforts to keep the
United States out of war, and at the
same time maintain the national
honor, will be the foundation Of the
foreign affairs plank and one of the
emphasized points in the platform to
be adopted by the Democratic Ma
tional Convention at st. Louis, accord.
ing to authoritative information OBJ
tanned from Administration sources.
As a result of conferences with
members of his cabinet and other ad.
visers, President Wilson, who person.
ally began work several days ago on
q platform to be submitted to the con.
vention by party leaders, virtually
has completed a preliminary draft,
leaving only details to be finished
after the Republican and Progressive
Conventions at Chicago. The Presi
dent has utilized as basis for this
work features Of the Missouri State
Democratic platform, which was pre-.
pared under the direction Of the
White House.
Following out this idea, 1t is under
stood that the national platform will
declare. the success of the administra
ton in guarding the honor and inter.
ests of the United States in the face
Of obstacles, and at the same time
keeping the nation at peace. The ad
ministration's championship against
all belligerents of the rights Of Amer.
lea and all neutrals on the high seas
will be praised, with the statement
that the results will be of great i'm.
portance to American commerce,
The Mexican situation win be re-

lon in ordering troops across the Dor
der after the Columbus massacre.
Another section is expected to laud
the administration for maintaining
the Monroe Doctrine and fostering
fair dealing with the other Republics
Of the Western Hemisphere, resulting
in the building up of trade with those
nations.
Finally, 1t Is understood, the foreign
affairs plank will align the party be-
hind the President in placing "Ameri
ca first" with reference to all ques'
tions, both international and domestic
The tariff is expected to be the
subject of an important plank, the
platform combining the Underwood
revision with the currency law and
other constructive legislation OF the
past four years in prosperity decla-
ration. President Wilson's prepared
ness program will occupy another
prominent place in the platform.

for years, and l know he is alright.
He has had experience in railroad
