0LDFIELD TO AID IN
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
Will Make Speeches in Many
Districts in the North in Be-
half of Party Nominees.

Washington, DC, July /
Congressman w. A. Oldfield
of Arkansas will be the only
Southern member Of Congress
on the Executive Committee
of the Democratic Congress-
lonal Committee serving in the
next election if the present
plans of Chairman Doremus
and other members of the com
mlttee are adopted.
The Congressional Commit
tie aids the campaigns of the
Democratic congressional can
didates in doubtful districts,
and upon the activities of this
committee will depend in no
small measure the Democratic
majority in the next house.
Incidentally, candidates for
other offices in doubtful dis
tricts will be benefited, in that
the speakers, literature and
phamplets sent to the districts
will not be personally in the
interest of the Democratic
congressional candidates. but
for the Democratic party.
The personnel of the Exc
cutiVe Committee has not been
completed but the majority of
its members, and very prob
ably all of them with the ex-
cepion of Mr.. Oldfield, will
be from the doubtful districts.
Congressman DOremus, eX-of-
ficio chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee, will be oppos.
ed for reelection in the gen.
.eral election, as also will al
members VINO have thus fal
been considered for a place OF
the Executive Committee. Thi.
will leave Mr.. Oldfield prac.
tically acting chairman of the
committee, and, unless several
of the other members are also
unopposed, will leave the di-
rection of the committee plans
almost entirely in his hands.
While no formal meeting of
the Executive Committee will
be held until its membership
is complete and the executive
Committee of the National
Committee has organized, Mr..
Oldfield and other members
who will serve are already
formulating plans for the
coming campaign. Among
them, Mr.. Oldfield says, will
be a determined effort to elect
two senators and an addition
al representative from the
state of Maine in September.

MEXICAN CRISIS Is
APPARENTLY ENDED
Latest Caranza Note Very
Friendly and Paves Way For
Settlement of Difficulties.

Washington, July 5.-Early
resumption of friendly diplo-
matte conversations with the
de facto government of Mexi-
co to the end that peace and
order may be restored in
northern Mexico and along the
border is expected here to be
the next step of the United
States in its relation with its
southern neighbor.
The crisis precipated by Vii
las raid on Columbus, N. NJ,
and eliminating in the fight at
Carrizal between American
and Mexican troops appeared
tonight to have been dissipat-
ed by an amicable note from
Gen. Carranza presented to-
day by his ambassador desig-
nate here.
The note proposes that the
differences between the gov
ernments be settled by medi-
tation or by direct negotiations
1t is remarkable for its brew
ity, its restrained and friend
ly tone and for the absolute
lack of any of the strong or
insolent language which char
acterized the last two COM
munications from the de facto
government. It treats as a
closed incident the exchange
of unfriendly communication
which brought war almost
within sight.

Time EXPIRES FOR
INITIATIVE PETITIONS
Primary Bill and Liquor Bill
Only Laws Submitted-3
Amendments to be voted on.

The time in which initia-
tive petitions may be filed
with the Secretary Of State eX-
pired this week. There has
not been the usual appeal to
this direct system of legisla-
ton this year. Outside of the
three proposed amendments,
only measures to be submitted
to the people at the general
election are the repeal of the
statewide prohibition law, and
the enactment of thePrimary
bill.
Some interesting fights are
promised on some of these
measures. 1t is developing
that there is an undercurrent
of opposition to the primary
law which will call forth the
most earnest and eloquent APP
peals of its advocates to over
come. It has approval of
party leaders, and several Of
them, including Col. Brund-
idge, will take the stump for
it. There is no denying the
fact, however, that the oppo-
sition will be more or less
formidable.
The campaign for the ed
ueational amendment, No. y
to permitschool districts to levy
Il mills for school purposes,
Is being prosecuted vigorously.
DR.. Brough is enthusiastically
committed to the measure. de-
.elaring that he is for the bows
and girls, whatever the effect
may be upon his political fu-
ture. Its advocates are show
ing that the passage of this
amendment will not increase
the tax in a single district in
the state, unless a majority of
the electors of that district
should vote in favor of a high
er rate of taxation. Under the
proposed law, it will be pos
sible for a district to vote anv
tax it may desire, up TO a max
imum of twelve mills. It is
purely optional.
Proposed Amendment No
IA submitted by the legisla-
ture, the text of which ap-
pears elsewhere in The Jour
nal provides for levying a
special three-mill road and
bridge tax.
Amendment No. - initiated
by the State Federation of
Labor and which will be pub
hshed later, provides for re-
moving the limitations from
the number of amendments
that may be submitted. I'm
der the present law only
three amendments can be
submitted az any one election.
The Federation of Laborwants
the restriction removed SO
that any number of amend
ments may be submitted in
any election.

Another em- phasis of the uncertainty of life Miss Hester was a good student of a sweet spirited christian character, always entering into work or play with an enthusiasm that every girl does not possess. The writer has noticed especially in tennis that when Hester was on the court. playing, the game was more spirited and interest ing always, and we shall never forget her merry laugh and hap py smile, and if we could see through the vail into that Fair city" we would behold Hester a beautiful angel, and thus we lay down a wreath in the halls of our memory to Mark a new sorrow and loss'.
