ADMINISTRATION WILL
MEET At SAN BENIT0

On the authority of a message
from Jasper Collins Of Dallas, secre-
tary of the democratic state admin
istration executive committee, call
was issued today for meeting Of
all democrats of Cameron county
who endorse the acts and policies of
the national democratic administra-
tion, to meet at San Benito at )
o'clock Saturday afternoon, March
20.
The call for the meeting was is
sued by Frank Rabb of Brownsville
who received the following message
from Mr. Collins:
Request that you confer imme-
diately with democrats favoring en-
dorsement of the Wilson administra-
ton and select a county chairman for
your county. Advise us by wire"
After comforting with several
democrats, Mr. Rabb said that no ap-
pointment of a county chairman will
be made, but it was decided instead
to call the meeting of democrats at
San Benito and allow the meeting to
select a county chairman.
Meetings similar to that being
called for Cameron county are being
held all over the state by pro-admin-
istration democrats, in conformity
with the recent statewide convention

New Reservation Says u. 5.
Views With Grave Concern
Threat Against Europe

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March IL.
Following the introduction by re-
publicans of the new reservation to
the treaty intended 70 replace the
more indefinite international pledges
to Article 10, claims were made OF
further gains for ratification with
the republican qualification attach
ed. The new reservation declared
the United States views with grave
concern" the threat against the peace
of Europe.
The United States would also con-
slider what action it would take in the
premises.
Although many members of the adj
ministration have not studied the ef-
feet Of the reservation, some senators
predict that its adoption would palli-
ate the resentment over the reserva-
ton 70 article 10, which President
Wilson had declared would "cut the
heart" from the League Of Nations.

tial integrity; but do not oppose the
acceptance of any reservation making

Invoking the Glass.

According to Amos Pirchot, the So
called third party, which he tried to
help form in the Chicago conference,
went to smash upon the large, jag
ged rock of class-ism.
Pinchot had hoped that a third
party could be organized to repre-
sent all the people; he has now is
sued a statement that the result is a
purely class movement with no mass
appeal.
Class-ism is bad factor in Foli-
tics; bad for those who use IT. No
group can set itself aside as a class
without automatically crea t E
another class of everybody else
Our biggest group is the diversified
unorganized middle class. If specific
groups constitute themselves into
classes, then the middle class will
eventually have class consciousness
forced upon 1t because it has been
segregated by the separation of the
smaller groups.
1t is not thing to be hoped fol
because it would still be class-ism.-
