he had a game heart that kept him

There is no doubt now that Tilden

and there is no reason to believe
that he viii not continue his reign
for several years. He is big and
while not overly rugged. he has
great stamina and the fortunate
ability to recuperate quickly.
Tilden. in this respect is very

MEXICAN BON B
ARREST
NEAR
Oregon Believes Explosion
Was Recognition Par
ley Making Progress.

MEXICO CITY, May 19.-The
Mexican secret service has several
important clues which, they believe,
will soon lead to arrests in connec.
tion with the bomb explosion In the
building containing the United States
consulate. Valend Quintana, chief
of the secret service said he believed
an arrest would be made before Sun.
day night.
President Alvaro Obreson believes
that the bombing was an attempt to
discredit Mexico politically.
The conference of the United
States and Mexican commissioners
in the recognition conference" re-
stunned their deliberations as usual.
An optimistic feeling has developed
over the consiliatory and moderate
attitude taken by both sides.
It was understood that the con-
ference would reach it's most I'm.
portant phase today with the presen.
tation of Washington's main propo-
sitions.
The conference may reach an
agreement before the end of next
week unless unforeseen obstacles in
tervene.

as a going victorious institution in
the year 1924.
The danger thus raised for the
Republican party in the whole
Northwest in 1924 is aoutely real
lied by Republican leaders here and
is going to result in the sending of
numerous distinguished Republican
national orators into Minnesota
next month.
Democratic leaders also perceive
that a Northwestern Farmer-Labor
party might prevent their candidate
in 1924 from having the success
which Woodrow Wilson had in the
Northwest in 1916, when, for in
stance, he carried North Dakota
and lost Minnesota to Hughes by
only a few hundred votes.
Democrats Will Fight.
The Democrats believe that they
could win quite a few electoral
votes in the Northwest in 1924 IL
the Farmer-Labor party could be
put out of the way.
They. therefore, will send their
orators into Minnesota as numer-
ousIy as the Republicans will send
theirs.
Meanwhile the Farmer-Labor
party in Minnesota has become so
proud of its standing as q regular
party that it seems likely to in.
dulge itself in regular primary
contest between rival aspirants for
the Farmer-Labor senatorial can
didacy.
The most mentioned contestants
for this honor are John Sinclair, a
Minneapolis banker, now in Eu-
rope; G.. A. Lindberg, former Con-
gresham. who became famous or
notorious in Washington as the
great Congressional opponent of the
Federal reserve law, and Magnus
Johnson, who, last year ran on
the Farmer Labor ticket for govern
or and came within $1,000 votes of
defeating the present governor, u.
A. O. Preus.
+ Issue Merely Personal.
There is no issue of principles be-
tween these three men. The win
ner among them will have Senator
La Follette's support The true
and only issue is whether or not.
with Senator La Follettes support
and help, the Farmer-Labor party
can stand up in Minnesota in 1923
and then spread out into other I'D.
joining States successfully in 1924.
