'PINCHOT TO FIGHT
FOR APROGRESSIVE
Pennsylvania Announces His
Candidacy as Delegate to
Republican Convention.
ATTACKS GOLD GUARD"
Demands Man of Roosevelt
Type for Presidential Nomi-
nation to Insure Victory.

In a statement issued yesterday from
his home In Milford. Pa, Clifford
Pinchot announced his candidacy as a
delegate from Pennsylvania to the Re-
publican National Convention of 1920
and demanded tho nomination OF a
progressive Republican OF the Roose-
vent type instead of a reactionary or
member Of the Old Guard division of
ne Republican party organization. Mr..
l'inchot said that he would support the
candidacy OF man OF the type OF Henry
Allen, Senator Hiram Johnson, Senator
irvine L. Lenroot or Major-Gen Leonard
Wood and that he would oppose the
nomination OF such n man as Senator
q. Harding OF Ohio or Senator James
Watson OF Indiana.
Mr.. Plnchots statement addressed 10

In part:
The country needs Republican

To get a Republican President and

appeal to the independent Republicans Of

election as they did the last. These
men and women must be satisfied with
the nomination before they will vote
the ticket We cannot win without them.
Correspondence with Republicans ex-
tending into every State and almost
every county in America, shows me that
the large majority OF Republican voters
are strongly progressive. They are en-
titled to and they will demand can

died the Old Guard leaders have been
actively at work to nominate a man

MEXICO CITY. April 20. - Manuel

the death OF Gen. Aureliano Banquet,
War Minister in the Cabinet OF Presi-
dent Huerta. last week at Chavaxtla.
State of Vera Cruz. made a statement
to-day in the city of Vera Cruz in which
he revealed the means employed by the
followers OF Diaz TO procure explosives
for the blowing up OF trains between the
capital and the gulf coast.
According to a despatch sent by the
special correspondent TO Vera Cruz
by FL Universal, Cortes asserted that the
explosives and Internal machines had
been sent in a roundabout way TO the
rebel headquarters by a German firm in
Mexico city which handles hardware
and mining machinery Cortes also as
serted. says the correspondent OF r,
Uniuersal, that Diaz insurrectionaries
had received more than twenty Internal
machines and much ammunition from
Gen. Manuel Pelaez. rebel leader in the
Tampico oil region. who previously had
obtained them from steamships--gun
running filibusters-which landed the
machines along the gulf coast Of the oil
region.
Ei UnipersaPs correspondent continues
by quoting Cortes as saying that the
Diaz agents at Havana were DR.. Vaz-
Quez Gomez md the former Diaz gen
eral, Manuel Mondra gon. and that plans
had been made for a general assault on
trains at a meeting Of numerous rebel
leaders at Chavaxtla prior to the battle
which resulted in the death OF Gen.
Banquet and the capture OF Cortes.
The Internal machines were proper
toned among the rebel chiefs at this
meeting.
Cortes's reported assertions regarding
the receipt OF Internal machines. arms
and munitions from Pelaez are inter
estlng in view OF the accusations pub
liahed In Mexico city during the early
stages OF the oil controversy that vari-
Gus oil companies had supplied PelaeE
with the essentials OF warfare.

Starting Almost Nose Up

Army aviation officers discussing yes
flight OF Capt. f. r. White. EXPRESSED
the opinion that the De Haviland-4 air
plane OF the type used by Capt. White
IL capable Of cross ocean flight. They
are convinced that the De Haviland
with her Liberty motor and the ADDITION
OF larger gasolene tanks, could easily
make the big hop across the Atlantic
In this connection It was pointed out
that Capt White. had he cared 10 do So
could have continued his flight 225 miles
on the gasolene supply with which he
started from Chicago. This would have
heen equivalent to half the distance
across the Atlantic between st. Johns
and the Irish coast. The army fiers
pointed out that the simple addition of
slightly more than 200 gallons OF gaso-
lene TO the De Hav,land's supply would
III her for the cross ocean flight.
Capt. White who made the trip here
from Chicago in hours and SO min
utes. provided sure cure for soggy,
dangerous starting fields. When he pre-
pared to leave Ashburn Field, Chicago
he found the turf 80 damp the wheels
or his neavy plane sank deep into the
mire.
A load OF cinders was obtained and
the plane shifted to the more solid
foundation. Mechanics held the plane
back until the motor reached it's maxi
mum speed. Then the plane was re-
leased, and IT climbed almost straight
up instead of running along the soggy
earth This feat was considered even
more unusual because OF the heavy load
OF 1874 gallons OF gasolene.
Capt White made brief explanation
or his trip yesterday. II had to deliver
this plane TO Boiling Field. near Wash
ington," he said. and thought would

domineering, secretivf. reversible and
terribly costly dictatorship Of Woodrow
Wilson. We cannot trust him, and we

Less than a month ngo the Roose-

dow permanent organization with the

the American people We owe It to our
selves, our party and our country to
choose a candidate whose purpose will

For these rea sons and because II Is
time to stand up and be counted, I wish
to say now that at the next President ial
primaries 1 shall submit my name to

trusted to secure to all the peop'e the
full results of their great war sacrifice.

ests who are behind these men ought not
