companies in Mexico and the De-
partment of State TO disobey the
law of Mexico in order that Mexico
may be forced to revoke domestic
legislation and compelled to sign a

elected officials"
Says Bait Being Held Out.
1T is evident" the Senator con.
tinued. that we are using recog-
/ milton as bait with which to fish
for commercial advantages in the
troubled waters of Latin-America.
1t becomes highly pertinent to ask
what are the provisions of the pro-
posed treaty Of commerce and
amity which is being negotiated
IN a manner that bellies its ostensi-
bly, pacific purpose. What specific
agreements does IT contain? Why
does MIR. Hughes withhold all
knowledge of this vital latter, not
only from the people. but from the
Senators and congressman, as he
/ says, in difference TO public in.
| terests?"
What public interest can be
served by shrouding in secrecy the
provisions of this proposed cove.
/ nant which so closely concerns the
relations of two great nations and
the welfare of 10, 900 900 Americans
and $1,000, 900 Mexicans? Has the
| United States committed itself to
the same sort of secret diplomacy
that wrecked Europe in 1914? Are
the American people no longer to be
trusted with matters which affect
both their peace and prosperity
Analyses Conditions.
The steps taken by Secretary
Hughes in the negotiations with
Mexico, and the conditions imposed
by the State Department were ana
Ilyzed by Senator Ladd. who declared
! that Secretary Hughes has no right
to make such demands as a Condi.
ton Of recognition. The Senator
pointed out that among other things
the State Department demanded the
valuation of all property titles &C,
quired in Mexico by Americans
prior to 1917, regardless of the ques.
tionable manner in which many OF
these concessions were obtained" He
declared the Mexican government
intends to cancel concessions that
were fraudulently obtained, and has
an unquestioned right to do so. He
added:
Millions of acres of the best lands
! of Mexico are involved in grants Of
| questionable validity. This Is the
crux OF the whole situation. and we
cannot rightfully or reasonably ex
pect that Mexico will surrender heI
I sovereign powers of domestic regula
! ton by abandoning all hope Of recov
ering natural resources fraudulently
! granted or claimed. But millions oi
/ dollars are at stake, and fear this
affords the clue to the secret dipio
macy and stubbornness that have
marked our negotiations with Mex

Old Guard Machine Smashed.

LINCOLN. Neb., July 2e.-With
only 220 out OF the 1913 precincts In
the State missing, Progressive Re.
,publicans have swept Nebraska for
every office from sheriffs to United
States Senator.
As the vote count progresses,
Adam McMullen took the lead today
from Charles II. Randall for gov.
ernor. thus completing the wreck OF
the old guard machine headed by
Gov. S. r. McKelvie.
McMullen. who has promised to
clean the statehouse from cellar to
garret." is leading Randall by 327
votes, and the missing precincts are
not expected to change the results.
Political opinion" said Gonpers,
rs being registered against the
kind u governmental policy Ecw
being manifested in the coal and
railroad strikes. This opinion 10
expressing itself as rapidly az op'
portunity offers.
Jefteries, according to Gompers,
had a good legislative record, but
made the mistake Of going into
the primary campaign arm in arm
with the policies Of the President
which are being sadly displayed in
the great industrial crisis.

Two fine pictures of jumping sal
mon were shown Monday to several
sportsmen on the street, by Kenneth
Lee who took them in August at the
upper end Of the flume at Kenne-
bago. He said that at the time that
they were taken there were probably
a dozen fish jumping the falls in a
period of five minutes time Using
simply small pocket camera with
out any special tense. he stood be-
side the falls, with the camera level
ed and when a fish got high enough
in the air he "shot it on the wing"
Out of the 1G pictures which he
snapped eight showed the fish to
some extent and of these eight, two
were especially distinct. The pic
lures We're quite small and he had
them enlarged to about 5x7, which
makes fine picture and novel one
to be taken without a special camera.
