EXPEDITION HALrs.

Marathon, Tex, May 15.-The ex-
pedition in search of the bandits who
committed the Glenn Springs outrage
has checked its dash into Mexico and
is now awaiting reinforcements before
pushing on, according to reports re-
ceived here today. A message has
been sent to Gen. Funston by Col. Sib-
ley. commanding the fourteenth cav
airy, it was learned here, asking for
aid.
Military observers here point out
that Maj. Langhorne and his flying
squadron Of the eighth cavalry are
now perhaps 200 miles beyond their
base without sufficient troops to pro-
tect their line of communication. Mar
athon. the base, is ninety miles dis
tant from Boquillas over broken coun-
try. Several instances have been re-
ported the past few days Of bandits
cutting in behind the expedition with
out meeting armed resistance.
Supplies Of every character are now
being rushed from Marathon to Bo-
quillas, there to be transferred to pack
animals for Sibley's expedition. Mex
lean teamsters are engaged In this
work under Capt. John S. Chambers
OF the quartermasters department.
He reports the Mexicans faithful to
their trust. No supplies have failed
to reach their destination. The two
Mexican prisoners brought in to Mara
thon by Sheriff Shoemaker from Bo.
quillas last Saturday night will be sent
to Alpine for trial for murder.

IGNORING THE oeRMANs.

The gang Of bosses who are ruin.
Ing the Democratic party In Chicago
have decided that they can get along
without the German vote. They have
put up county ticket without a Ger.
man name on It and openly boast that
they don't need the Germans" This
sort Of Know Nothingism may be pop.
ular with the gang, but 1t Is not popu.
lar with the people. Fair play IL q
jewel and in this cosmopolitan com.
munity every nationality deserves to
be recognized on a big county ticket.
The Germans are not the only people
prescribed. There Is not one man
named on the gang county ticket who
had q native American grandfather.
Native Americans are tabooed. Irish
Democrats all over Chicago are indig.
nant at this action of gang or Newly
Rich Contractors and Graft Hunters
for using methods which bring men
Of other nationalities into the belief
that the Irish want all the Offices. This
Is not true. The Irish.American Is
the most generous Of men and he be.
lieves In the elevation Of worthy tel.
low citizens regardless Of the place Of
their birth. This noble sentiment does
not appear to have taken root in the
small minority Of Irishmen who com
pose the Office Holders Union and
the Contract Extractors' Political As.
ISOLATION. These fellows, intoxicated
with success, drunk with power. and
proud of newly acquired wealth, be.
lieve In putting no man into ONCE who
will not agree beforehand to do their
bidding.
The Germans of Chicago are to be
congratulated upon the fact that the
Gang Machine has wilfully ignored
them.

FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL CON
vENTioN.

Illinois needs new constitution.
The Citizens Association OF Chicago,
In Its forty.first annual report, has the
following to say on the subject, which
voices the sentiments OF many good
citizens:
Greatly to our regret the General
Assembly failed to submit to the peo.
pie OF the state the question of hold.
ing q constitutional convention. The
convention Joint resolution introduced
by Senator Edward c.. Curtis was
adopted by the Senate on March 18th
by an almost unanimous vote. But
when the matter came to vote In
the House on March 3lst. the vote on
the Joint resolution was go In favor
and 80 opposed, with 20 members alb.
sent or not voting. Thus the meas.
ure failed by the narrow margin Of ten
votes to receive the 102 votes con.
stituting the two-thirds required by
law.
1--WE are informed by the officers of
the Constitutional Convention League,
which had the convention campaign
In hand, that the league had received
assurances from 105 members of the
House that they favored the submis.
sion of the convention question to the
people; and that most OF these were
In the form of written pledges to vote
for the necessary joint resolution. Ac.
cording to the league, II representa-.
tives who had given such assurances
either opposed the resolution or failed
to vote on 1t. Fourteen OF these. nine
of whom represent Cook county dis.
tricts. had given. unqualified written
pledges.
"Our belief In the necessity of hold
ing a constitutional convention has
not been shaken by this temporary de.
feat. Sooner or later-and certainly
before very long-the small minority
of the legislature which has had the
temerity to refuse to allow the peo.
pie of Illinois to decide whether they

desired q constitutional convention
will have to give way.
I'VE shall continue to do our ut.
most to bring about the calling Of q
constitutional convention because we
are convinced that the convention
plan affords the most practicable
means Of securing a shorter ballot;
better and more economical local gov.
eminent through needed consolidation
Of the city, county, Sanitary District
and other taxing bodies Of Cook coun.
ty; and broader charter powers for
Chicago that are necessary to the
city's welfare"

enormous benefit which Gov. Dunno

them. The time has passed in Illinois
