CARRANZA TO REMAIN;
POSTPONES ELECTION

MEXICO CITY (via Galveston.
Tex.), May 8 (nighD.-Absolute re-
fusal to give up the government OF
Mexico to his enemies was an
nounced tonight by President Car
rama.
In a manifesto addressed to the
people he called upon all loyal citi-
zens to support his government
against the widespread rebillions
which have turned Mexico into =
seething mass of trouble.
Because of the revolutions through
out the country, President Carranza
said, he has firmly decided to post
pone the national election, at which
his successor would be chosen next
July 4
"The revoIts OF General Obregon
and General Gonzales are nothing but
military plots to overthrow the ac-
tual government by force" said the
proclamation. "and in view of the at
titude of these former candidates It
is now almost impossible to hold
presidential elections next July 4, as
ordered by the Mexican constitution
Reviews situation.
The proclamation reviewed at
length the Mexican situation since
1917, leading up to and admitting tho
present revolts in Guerrero. Sonoras
Michocan, Puebla, Lecatccas, Tabasco,
and various other states.
Before Generals Obregon and Cos
zales revolted, the country was near
" pacified," said the document. and
the Presidents best aims were to
turn over the reins of government to
a man elected by the people"
"The government was really belieN-
ing that the epoch OF coups d'etat
and military sublevations in Mexico
had passed." Carranza said.
The President has firmly decided,
II continued, that the government
will not be turned over to either OBJ
regon or Gonzales, but that he VIII
leave the Presidency only in the hands
of man chosen by the people TO
succeed him.
The government Is ready TO COM
mence strenuous campaign against
the rebels dominating various states
in the republic. and Is hopeful OF
success in putting down tho present
movements The manifesto closed
with a stirring appeal to patriotic
Mexicans to Loyalty support the GoV-
ernment and tho army In this trying

All Except Seven States Have

OLD GUARD FIGHTS JOHNSON
Candidates Now Contesting For
Strategic Position At Chi
cago Convention.
OLD GUARD FIGHTS JOHNSON
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs,
Iuternn tionaI News Servtee.)

All but seven States have now held
their conventions or primaries for
the selection of 831 of total Of 984
delegates to the big caucus at Chi
cago, scheduled to begin four weeks
from next Tuesday. Yet almost un-
paralleled confusion as to who's who
among the G. o. p. candidates for
the Presidential nomination is the
dominant feature Of the situation.
Cannot Change Situation.
Colorado holds its State conven-
tion today. Monday, Wyoming will
follow suit. On May IS Pennsylvania
will hold a Presidential preference
primary and next day Alabama will
have a convention.
But nothing can happen in any OF
these States materially to change the
status quo. From now on the strug-
gle will not be so much to capture
delegates before the convention meets
as to obtain a strong strategic posi-
ton in the convention itself.
A night over the temporary chair
manship Is in prospect Another is
expected TO arise out of the contest
to seat some of the delegations, two
full sets already having been selected
in Florida, South Carolina. Georgia,
and Mississippi, while ether contests
ara in the offing. notably over the
Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee. and
Virginia delegations. And perhaps
there will be others.
But these scrimmages. it is be
lieved, will be mere outpost affairs
compared TO the fierce battles be-
tween candidates now maneuvering
for position.
