American Taken.
 Fl Paso, Tex, March 8.-Joseph Williams, an -employe of the Ameri- can Smelling and Refining company plant at Pedricena, Mexico, is cap- tive in the hands of Francisco Villa, held for $50,000 ransom, according to passengers from Southern Chihuahua who have reached JuareZ.
 Williams, who is an American citi- zen, served in the world war, and suffering from the effects of German gas, was returning to the United States for treatment when the North Mexico City-Juarez train, on which he was travelling, was held up Thurs day morning last near Corralltos Chihuahua, 400 miles south of Fl Paso.
 In battle between Villas men and the train guards, 10 of the bandits and 19 of the train guards were slam and the balance of the defenders, 50 in number, either wounded or drlv- en off. The train and pullman car conductors were among the dead, the later being killed by shot from Will las pistol.
 When the fighting ceased the ban. dits herded the passengers to small hill near the track where Villa haranguad them and threatened them with death. Later, according to eye witnesses, he broke into tears and told them he would spare their lives out of respect to the memory of General Felipe Angeles, who recent ly was executed by the Carranza authorities at Chihuahua City.
 According to R. J. Peltier, an American, resident of Mexico City who was roughly handled. an! threat ened with death, the bandits number ed about 300. They stopped the train by placing charge of dynamite on the track which wrecked the en- zine.

 "Two explosives derailed the en. zine March 4, II a. m. About hal1 the guards of 50 were killed. Two train conductors were executed.

Money and the Primaries.

The direct primary system has been
long enough in operation to prove
that it is an exceedingly expensive
political process. A candidacy can
scarcely be undertaken nowadays

perfectly legitimate publicity. Even

oratorical substitutes, still must pay

REFLECT
Thos. D. Schall
The Ordinary Fellows Friend

Six years ago the ordinary fellow
put me over. -Four years ago plain
folks repeated against redoubled eff
forts of the gang who kept me from
filing on the republican ticket. Two
years ago news of my independent war
record burst the usual censorship and
blocked their game, unless the holier-
than-thou outfit, headed by this same
wealthy opponent, could manipulate
my name off the republican primaries.
But the supreme court gave them the
lie and me the distinction of being the
only republican vouched for by law.
Hawklike they have watched, eager to
rend me. But with Gods help, and
the eyes and faithful service of my
wife, I've steered clear and they dare
not openly attack my record.
An effective weapon to route nefari-
Gus schemes of predatory wealth is
courage to speak fearlessly and let
people know. independence is crime.
That's why the boss-fidden, subservi
ent gang so hate and fear me, and will
make any kind of deal to destroy me.
AS member of the rules committee,
I blocked the obnoxious sedition bill,
which had already passed the senate,
framed to destroy freedom Of speech,
press and assembly; punctured single
handed the presidential balloon of one
of their darlings; had the temerity
under the bosses very noses to urge
real American, well known as the plain
peoples friend, for president.
Because a lumberman, differing
from his associates and believing that
the sovereignty of our country is the
vital issue, preferred to aid me in the
Johnson campaign, instead Of the mill
tary man backed by millions Of Wall
street, they, grasping at straws, seized
upon, magniied and widely published
it, hoping to thus falsely connect me
with lumber interests. I am as free
as the day the plain people sent me
to congress. I know my friends, and
the people, if they were truthfully in
formed, would know theirs No man,
association or corporation has nickel
invested in me. I'll give one thousand
