leadership, the men whose influence
counts in the party councils have come
to the conclusion that about the best
way out is to let the candidates with
the largest number of supporters trot
few heats to show the convention
what they can or cannot do. Those
favoring this plan feel perfectly GER
tain that none of the candidates will
be nominated on the test ballots.
May Look at Dark Horses.
After the three leading candidates
have demonstrated to the convention
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-06-09

that they have not enough votes to
nominate themselves it is argued that
the delegates themselves will be in
better position to determine whether
they prefer to combine on one of the
, three, or look at some dark horses.
UP to this time dark horses have
gone begging for riders because those
who had any considerable support
like johnson, Lowden or Wood re-
fused to look at others for fear of
indicating weakness before test of
strength had been made.
Even those who favored dark horse
were unable to render any support
for him because here had been no op-
portunlty for one dark horse to estab-
lish lead over another. To the mass
OF uninstructed delegates they are all
lot of dark horses and nothink more.
The practical politicians began to
realize today that the only solution
offered was to let the convention call
for dark horse and then show it a
few, with the possibility, of course,
that the convention might decide it
could go further and fare worse than
to take Johnson, Lowden or Wood
All the discussion tonight of the
principal balloting centers around
these three names, but the dark horse
names are too many to be recorded.
If any set of practical politicians
had agreed among themselves to put
the convention into a deadlock for
their own purposes it is doubtful if
they could have done better than the
convention itself is threatening to do.
Three ballots and possibly four by
Thursday night, is the prediction be-
the further prediction of final bal
loting on Friday.
Hughes Being Mentioned
(, The plan looks placid enough, but
it is not without it's possibilities of
fireworks. 1t is realized on all sides
that the forces of neither johnson,
Lowden or Wood will give up the
struggle without battle. The fight
upon the platform planks, particularly
that on the League of Nations, con-
tinue sto promise a test of strength
fthe various elements and renewed
predictions are being made that the
elements which succeeds in framing a
: platform acceptable to the convention
will also be able to provide a candi-
date equally acceptable. At this time
four years ago Charles Evans Hughes
was as good as nominated although
! the ballots were not cast until four
days later Tonight he is being men
toned here and there among the
dark horses. Mention of former Pres
! sident Taft is heard in the same
way. The Hughes talk, which could
not be denominated boom, and yet
q bears the stamp of good deal of

MEXICO TO ASK
FOR RECOGNITION
New Envoy Is Not Yet Officially
Received BY the State
Department.
AWAITS new REGIME
Believed Recognition VIII Be More In
Keeping II II Awaits the Entrance
Of General Obregon Into
the Presidency.

MISUNDERSTANDING to informa.
ton, obtained from authentic sources,
the mission OF Roberto Pesquiera to
ecure immediate recognition OF the
new government of Mexico by the Uni
ted States, is destined to certain
failure. Mr.. Pesquiera has not yet
been Informally received by officials
of the State department, and it is pos
sible that he will not have occasion
TO present his case.
The State departments last word on
the subject of recognition was uttered
to Tornado Iglesias Calderon, the re-
called high commissioner-who was
told in substance that there could be
no recognition OF Mexico until deeds
had taken the place Of words.
Conditions Improved.
There is no question that conditions
lave been greatly improved in Mexico,
as result of the new regime. but the
position of provisional President de la
Huerta, and that Of his personal repre-
sentative now here. is in direct oppo-
sition to the position, which the gov
eminent of the United States has
taken on the oil question. and which
1t still maintains.
1t is also believed that recognition
will be more in keeping with the atti-
tude, previously assumed by President
Wilson towards governments. brought
about by revolutionary violence, II ii
awaits the entrance of General Obre-
gon into his constitutionality acquired
office.
There Is considerable question here
as to the reasons why the provisional
government should indicate such ankle
ty to have recognition brought about
Immediately. 1t is also considered
strange that Mr.. Pesquiera should
have been named to conduct the in
formal negotiations, in view of the
fact hat he is known to entertain
views in direct variance with those en-.
tertained by the State department on
the question of the Carranza oil de.
cree.
The acceptability OF Mr.. Pesquiera
as confidential agent of Mexico is also
pending the Interpretation, which the
State department is placing upon Ger,
tain ~utterances, accredited to the new
Mexican representative.

Secretary of Treasury Houston
Presents Years Program
to Bankers.
OUTLINES MANY PLANS
Appeals For strlctest Economy In
Public Affairs as Well as
Thrift on the Part of
the People.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS expendi-
mres Of $4,000. 600. 900 during the next
fiscal year were forecast by Secretary
Houston of the Treasury department
In an address before the convention of
the American Bankers association. In
which he covered a wide range OF
financial and economic problems OF
the nation.
The secretary outlined the Treas
iry's program for handling the war
debt, liquidation for which. he said,
must go on steadily In order that the
final redemption be accomplished with
out disturbance to national life, He
appealed for "the stricted economy,
not only in our expenditures, federal,
state, county and municipal, but also
by thrift on the part OF the people"
Falling Receipts Indicated.
Mr.. Houston said there were indica-
tions of falling receipts because there
was no means of predicting the course
of business or incomes and profits.
The receipts for the present fisca.
year, he reported. would be materially
lower than the record of $500, 600. 600
last year.
1--WE cannot afford to operate on a
tax basis which would give us reve
nues below those anticipated" the
speaker continued. "and in plans for
revision this should be definitely borne
in mind"

pay the roads at $1,000, 900, 900, about
one-fourth of which already has been
turned over to them.
Mr.. Houston predicted rapid reduc-
ton in the gross national debt through
the coming year, particularly the -
$50. 900. 900 short term certificates out
standing. The Treasury program. he
added, would result in reducing this
below 50. 900, 900, 006 and perhaps to
$1,000. 000, 900.
Turning to the demands OF agricul.
tural interests for government help.
Mr.. Houston said that scarcely had a

manifested resistance.
Every producer is willing for the
products of every other producer to
decline but protests the decline in his
own.
There Is much human nature In this
