a definite alignment Of political par
ties and presidential candidates in
Mexico. The election is scheduled to
be held next July. The situation
now presents these facts:
General Alyaro obregon, former
right hand man OF President Car
rama and credited with being the d.
recting military agent who over
threw villa and made possible a
Carranza constitutional government,
announced his candidacy several
months ago. Although remaining al
Sonora he has established political
headquarters in Mexico City, has
launched a daily newspaper in his
behalf and is pressing his campaign
so vigorously that both chambers OF
congress now in session have engag-
ed in heated debates which were in
reality intended as tests Of Obre-
gon's power in congress. His fol-
lowers assert they are satisfied with
the result. From Sonora he issues
manifestos and appeals to the voters
He lays claim to being the leader Of
the liberal party.
Other possible candidates are Gen.
eral Pablo Gonzales, Carlos Zetina
General Salvador Alvarado. Louis
Cabrera. and Ignacio Bonillas. the
latter formerly ambassador to the
United States.
Newspapers here refuse to b.
completely assured that election.
will really be held. President Car

tpostpone elections and 1t lies s,s4thir
possibilities that he may deem tn,
situation at election time so tens,
that a test at the polls would be in
advisable.

TOMATO PRICES

Gamers and tomato growers from all
parts of Delaware and the Eastern
Shore OF Maryland and from Southern
New Jersey, gathered in the Playhouse
at noon today, TO discuss subjects OF
interest to both. The differences be-
tween the Gamers and growers over
the price TO be paid for tomatoes the
coming season were expected TO be
discussed. but did not come up in the
open session, and will be talked over in
a conference this afternoon. The meet
ing was held under the auspices Of the
Tri-State Packers Association.
That a serious situation exists over
the clash between the Gamers and the
growers Is admitted by both sides. In
brief. the growers are demanding the
war price Of $50 a ton or 60 cents a
basket for tomatoes the coming season
and have taken the stand that IL the
Gamers will not contract 10 nav that
price, the growers will not plant to-
matoes.
On the other side, the Gamers saw
they cannot afford to pay $40 a ton or
anywhere near that price for tomatoes,
now that the war Is ended.
The packers say the bottom already
has dropped out Of the canned goods
market, and they look for prices much
lower than wartime prices, for their
products the coming season. The can

or not.
While the American proposal, which
was exclusively announced by tho Unit
ed Press, was based on political con-

plan was Influenced principally by the
military situation. The American peace
delegation had learned through its
agents that Premier Lenine and for

preceded by complete Allied evacua-

included French Withdrawal from the

ish already had decided on evacuat 'ng
northern Russia because Of the increas-
ingly dangerous position Of its troops In
that region.

total Of 500 reward for the apprehen-
