ST. LOUIS WITH THE
PLATFORM DRAFT
BIT ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, June 12-Secretary
Baker left tonight for st. Louis as
President Wilson's personal represen-
tative. Before he left he declared that
Marshall would be nominated for vice
president and to use his own name in
connection with his candidacy was a
bit of friendly enterprise" Baker
took with him Wilson's draft of the
platform and other political sugges-
tions for the convention. Wilson went
to New York tonight and goes from
there to West Point, tomorrow, on
the Mayflower, TO deliver an address
at the West Point commencement.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
REMARKABLE CULMINATION''

st. Louis, June Ex-senator Stone,
who is to be chairman of the resoIu-
tons committee, issued a statement
today, calling the republican platform
q remarkable elimination, with one
half Of the legislation it demanded a.
ready enacted and the other half be-
ing worked out BY the democratic
party.
Senator Stone said Hughes is q man
OF ability ard character, 'But regarded
his descent from the supreme bench
to take the republican nomination as
full Of menace and danger. Here
after" he said, sit is more than prob
able that men appointed to the SUI
preme court viii begin to regard it
not as a final goal of their ambition.
In this view it viii follow that de-
cisions of judges viii become more or
less subjects of suspicion" Stone said
that while the progressive platform
said the issue was one of men and not
of words, Roosevelt "sulked in his tent
at Oyster Bay" He asked the question
whether Roosevelt would respond or
leave his supporters victims of ths
''most pitiful and tragic betrayal ever
recorded in American history"

Cats AGAIN
is SLIGHT LY.
IN The LEAD
No Contest on Election Yet
Made Says Attorney
General.

With Cats and Knott both claim
ing the election, and with the vote
canvass proceeding very chaotically,
and the second choice ballots counted
only in places, the governorship race
is more uncertain than ever.
A special telegram from Jackson
vile received at a late hour last
night gives Cats a slight lead. Cats
has won 0kaloosa and Calhoun
counties, but there have been no re-
turns from Washington and Wakulla,
and only partial returns from others.
No Contest Made.
The rumored contest has no founda-
ton, according to a telegram from
Attorney General West. When it was
learned that the attorney general had
instructed officials here to preserve
the ballots and ballot boxes, The
Journal got into communication with
him Immediately, asking if there was
any significance to his action, and has
received the following reply:
"Sent message mentioned to county
Judges as cautionary suggestion be-
cause Of the close vote in some cases
and the difficulty in making correct
returns and canvass in order that fig
ures might be verified if necessary,
and error corrected if found. Have
heard no suggestions Of contest.
.sT. F. WEST,
Attorney General"

LAREDO DISTRICT
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington June 12.-Sec. Baker
announced today that one thusand adj
ditional coast artillerymen, and bat
talon from Washington, had been or
dered TO the Mexican border. In all,
about /, 400 win be added to Funston's
command. Baker said the additional
troops would be used to strengthen
the guard along the American side.
The ordering Of new troops to the
border is coincident with the contin-
uing report of rapid spread of anti
American uprisings in Mexico. To-
night administration officials made
no attempt to conceal their uneasi-
less, there is growing alarm that the
agitation may produce an attack or
Pershing's expedition.
Part of the apprehension is due tc
renewed raids in the Laredo section
to increase the border patrol there.
Several reports dealing with the
situation at Laredo have been receiv-
ed. One said three raiders were kill
ed and three captured when they were
trying to burn the railroad bridge.
Secretary Lansing is still at work
on q reply to the Carranza note de-
manding the withdrawal of American
trops, and it is indicated that reply
will not be sent for ten days.

st. Louis, June PA move to de-
feat Vice President Marshall for nom
nation took form today when Henry
Morgenthau, who resigned the am
bassadorship to Turkey to work to
re-elect Wilson, announced that a
stronger man" than Marshall should
be nominated. He brought forward
the name of Secretary Of War Baker.
National Chairman McCombs admit
ted he had received a letter from
Jacob Schiff, New York banker, say
ing a stronger man should be nomi-
mated. However, McConabs said there
would be no hitch in the plan to re-
name the democratic ticket. National
Committeeman Mack of New York,
said the talk of upsetting the plan to
name Wilson and Marshall was "silly"
anda bsurd." It is learned that Bryan
might not, after all, precipitate
fight before the resolutions committee
and it is said definitely, he would
make no effort to obtain proxy that
would seat him on the convention
floor.

F urthe r Urged
ByC.ofCon1,nerce

With the introduction of the naval
appropriation bill into the senate yes
terday, it is expected that the Cham
Der of Commerce will again take up
the fight for an increase in the bud
Tget for aeronautics.
The bill was amended in the house
to provide for twice the amount
originally intended and it is thought
that c. E. Dodson will again be sent
to the capital.
No specific amount will be specified
but only general bid for larger ex-
penditures in the improvement of all

The bill will probably be referred tt

which Senator Bryan is ranking com
mitteeman, today and with active sup
port is expected to be through thu
upper house in short while.

MEXICAN SITUATION AGAIN STARTS TO BOIL OVER BORDER
Banks Wiling
to Finance Our
Cattle Industry

Farmers who are DESTROYS Of
improving their herds by the
purchase of thoroughbred stock
will get all the encouragement
and assistance possible from me
and my bank" said E. R. Malone,
of the American National Bank.
Mr.. Malone was discussing the
practice of northern bankers in
financing cattle purchases in the
dairy regions.
"The only thing" said Mr.. Ma
lone, Il will want Farm Demon
strator HATS endorsement on
each case. That is, If Mr.. Hiatt
thinks the farmers or organiza-
tions are able to carry out their
plans successfully, l am willing to
see to the finances"
Mr.. Malone's expression may be
taken as typical of the policy of
the bankers to help the West
Florida farmers. Money talks,
and money is thinking well of
agriculture here.

tended that the association was not a
