MEX|CANS TAKE
NEW INTEREST
BONILLAS' ACCEPTANCE OF THE
\ PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION
OPENS NEW PHASE.

Washington, March 27.-The re-
ception accorded Ambassador Ygna-
clio Bonillas on his arrival recently at
Mexico City from the United States
and his formal acceptance of the NOM
ination for the presidency on the civil
lista ticket opens a new phase in the
political campaign now in full swing
in Mexico. The elections will be held
July A. Mr.. Bonillas will have the
support of President Carranza
against General Alvaro Obregon, an
other leading candidate.
The first effect of Bonillas' en-
trance into the campaign apparently
has been to lessen the chances of
General Pablo Gonzales, formerly
military head in the federal district
and at one time Carranza's candidate
for the presidency. Mr.. Bonillas will
meet the desire of a large element
which wishes to be relieved of the
domination of the army. 1t is believ-
ed his long residence in this country
where he received his education, and
his experience in the embassy have
made him familiar with the American
views and given him an understand
ing of this country's attitude in Pan
American affairs.
General Obregon will have the sup.
port of revolutionary leaders, includ.
ing Francisco Villa, according to re.
ports.
Barring another revolution which
many Mexicans openly predict as a
result of the elections, officials here
believe that whichever way the cleo
tions go an era of better understand.
ing between this country and Mexico
will result.

LIBERTY BONDS ARE
BEST BUY ON MARKET
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD MEM.
BER DECLARES THEY WILL
GO TO PREMIUM.

Washington. March 27.-Liberty
bonds form the best "buy" in the
market, according to Henry A. Moeh-
lenpah, former president of the Wis
consin State Bankers association and
now member of the federal reserve
board.
Liberty bonds are the one best
buy in the market" he said. "Some
of the issues purchased at present
prices will net the holders pei
cent. In short time they must &c
to par and long before they mature
they will go to premium.
Here is great opportunity fol
men and women now earning the best
wages and salaries they ever have
drawn in their lives.
Life insurance companies and 9TH
er large corporations are taking ad-
vantage of the present price and are
buying Liberty bonds in large vol
ume.
mo other country can show the re-
operative powers like the United
States. The day cannot be far dis.
tant when all the bond issues incl
dent to the war will increase rapidly
in value.
AT the close of the Civil war, II
will be remembered, 'greenbacks' is.

the value of SO cents on the dollar
Bonds issued at that time for wal
expense declined to low point, but
went to a premium and brought over

STORM CENTER IS
MOVING EASTWARD
q. o. p. PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS
GETTING WELL UNDER
WAY.

Washington, March 27.-Aspirants
for the republican nomination for
president today continued their pre-
convention battle royal for delegates,
while the democratic aspirants con-
tinued watching and waiting for
President Wilson to say what he is
going to say about who the candi-
date for his party shall be.
Michigan just now is the battle
ground of the republican candidates.
Senators Poindexter and Johnson
speak in Michigan today and Gen.
Leonard Wood will deliver an ad-
dress in that state. Having fought
things out in South Dakota, the re-
publican nomination seekers now are
centering their efforts to win in the
Michigan primary on April S.
Governor Lowden was hard at 1t
in his home state of Illinois. Sena-
tor Harding was on his way to In
diana, to seek support there. And
if the republican candidates were
busy, their lieutenants and assistants,
scouts and forecasters, publicity men
and cheer leaders and political OBJ
servers were trebly observers, who
have just returned to Washington
from the political battlefields of Min
nesota and the Dakotas reported that
the populace was not greatly stirred
up over the many sided republican
scrap. y
While all is hubdub and activity
in republican ranks, in the places
where democrats gather there is a
restless calm. Democratic aspirants
cannot 60 speech-making much; they
are all admittedly waiting to learn
whether Wilson intends to run again,
or IL he does not who is his choice.
Both democrats and republicans
cheered statement in the house by
Representative Humphreys, demo-
crat, of Mississippi. that President
Wilson should make an immediate
announcement that he was not can
didate for third term.
81 regret that the president has re-
mained silent as to his intentions In
the matter Of a third term" Hum.
phreys said, "and that he has per.
mitted SO many of his friends, in
cluding members of his cabinet tt
advocate publicly his reelection. BY
remaining silent he has allowed thu
country to believe that he is willing
to break the ancient precedent.
At the conclusion OF Humphreys
speech both democrats and republi
cans rose and cheered.
The speech OF Humphreys was thu
first democratic political attack dur
ing this session. He declared tina
talk OF q third term IL "a somnam
bulism which neglects the tradition
of our fathers and that 1t shows
tendency to make the United State
a kingdom instead Of republic"
He then declared that It was DC
cause the democrats sensed dang
IN the air" that the 6ne term PLAN
was put in the 1850 platform.

definitely whether he will run. Re-
port was current that Wilson favors
