platform of the American party,
which was organized in Fort

ton of the Texas democratic party
In his announcement, Mr.. Fer

sition to the league of nations ma

prohibition and compulsory mill
tary training. He declared in favor

of the principle of trade unionlsm
and pledged himself if elected, 20
grant full pardons to Eugene V.
Debs, the socialist leader under
conviction for alleged conspiracy
to obstruct the draft. War, he
said, often causes reason to give
way to passion and some times in

and restore Debs to full citizenship.
Denouncing compulsory military

clared I'VE need an army to take

Votes Ahead of Wood,


Omaha, Neb., April 21.-Senator
Hiram Johnson continued to lead
for the republican presidential
preference as the votes of the Tues
day primary found their way slow
ly into tabulation headquarters
here today, while william Jennings
Bryan gained enough votes on the
days count to place him among
the first four candidates for dele
gate at large to the San Francisco
convention.
With something more than one
third of the precincts in the state
reporting, Senator Johnson had a
lead of S,G45 votes over Gen. Leon
ard Wood, his nearest competitor,
with Gen John ]. Pershing in third
place.
In the Bryan Hitchcock skirmish
for delegate at large. the former
mot only managed to get within
the coveted four on the votes thus
far counted. but found one of his
running mates there with him,
Stephens.
1t appeared to be the general
opinion among democratic leaders
that former Governor Morehead
was a winner in the gubernatorial
race by probably the largest plur-
ality of any candidate voted for on
Tuesday.
At the same time enough returns
had been received to incline repub-
lican politicians to believe that
Governor McKelvie would win out
in the final count.
That Senator Hitchcock is a win
ner for democratic presidential in
dorsement was assured after a few
hundred precincts had been heard
from, coming from all parts of the
state. showing him to be leading
his opponent, Robert Ross, by al
most three votes to one.
A real contest has developed,
however, between Arthur Mullen
and w. II. Thompson for demo-
cratic national committeeman and
it will require a great many more
returns before the result of this
contest can even be predicted by
the followers of either man.

REVOLT MOVEMENT HAS
OPPRESSION. AS GOAL

New York, April 21.-The sole
desire of those who have taken up
arms against the Carranza govern
ment is to establish a military die
tatorship in order that lhey may
oppress the Mexican people for
their own benefit, Coll Pauline
Fontes, director general of the Ma
tional Railways of Mexico, de-
clared in a statement issued here
tonight.
THE movement started by Cen
erals Gales de la Huerta and Al
varado can in no sense be regarded
as separatist," said Colonel Fontes,
THE conduct of General Gales is
similar to that of other followers
of General Obregon, who have de-
serted their posts in the Cdrranza
government to unite against IN ~
government in Sonora. This atti-
tude of Obregon and his followers
and their incendiary speeches
throughout Mexico during the re-
cent political campaign have in.
cited the people of Sonora to red
beIlion, but their action has been
condemned by all the more intelli-
gent classes"
Colonel Fontes' mission to the
United Safes is to arrange for the
resumption Of through traffic for
passenger cars and the inter-
change of freight cars, so that
merchandise can he transported
from its point of destination in the
United States to its destination in
Mexico and vice versa without
change of cars. He said that the
plan had met with the approval of
several railroad managers and that
only minor details remain to be ar
ranged
