AMERICANS SLAIN
IN VILLA RAID


Continued from First PaGeD
Villa deceiving all the authorities by
diSpatching a telegram to Hachita,
y. NJ last night saying that he was at
the Nogales ranch in Chihuahua, near
the border, at least forty-four miles
from here. This telegram was signed
ostensibly by the American caretaker
of the ranch, and stated that Villa per-
sonally was at the ranch house.
All the while, however, the Mexican
bandit leader was making his way
from Bosques Grandes ranch. about
twenty-five miles southwest of here.
A Mexican scout gave an intimatlon
of this. He reported late last night
that he saw two parties of Villas men
moving eastward from Bosques Gran
des ranch toward Palomas, an aban-
doned Carranza outpost. six miles di-
rectly south below here.

SENATORIAL FIGHT AS
VIEWED BY NEVAOAM

The 'Nevadan," the latest addition
to the journalistic field of Nevada, has
the following to say on the senatorial
fight:
The fightIthat overshadows all 9TH
ers in the forthcoming pre-convention
campaign, both Republican and Demo
cratii, will be over the U. S. senator
ship. In the Republican melee Platt
If Howe gets into
the fight at all it will be for the pur-
pose of getting acquainted i'll the
state. or snatching the Esmeralda dele
cation away from Norcross-it will
not be with the expectation of winning
either the nomination or election.
Every sign of the political zodiac
points to the practical certainty of
Platt's nomination. Not that Plat is
more popular than Norcross, because
he isn't. 1t is because the practical
politicians of the state are for Plat
and the practical politicians come
pretty nearly having the say as TO
who will be nominated. in Nevada as
well as elsewhere. This is especially
true since the last legislature decided
TO go back TO the soap box primary
and the boss.controlled convention.
Pittman will beat McCarran for the
same reason that Plat will beat Nor
cross. He has nearly all the practical
politicians behind him in all the coun
ties of the state and they are all work
ing overtime. McCarran is worker
and vote getter but TO one who has
stood on the side lines and watched
the game played with -unvarying re-
suits for third of century these
qualifications do not come for muci
when they are pitted against the or
ganization.
