MEXICO OFFICIAL
 APPROVES OF LAW
Secretary of Interior Opposes
 Any Constitutional Change

Mexico City, Aug. 26. P)-Accord- ing to Fl Universal, Secretary of the Interior Tejeda says he is opposed to any change of the religious clauses of the constitution which have brought about the present dis cord between the Catholic church and the government and which the church proposes to endeavor to have amended or released by con- gress.
 The secretary said an amendment of the religious section of the con stitution would throw Mexico back to the dark ages preceding the re- form wars and would arouse new combats over the religious question"
 The business slump due 10 the economic boycott called by the league for defense of religious free dom is growing worse. The pre- valent opinion among business men is that unless some solution of the controversy between the church and the state is found the country Is facing the prospect of general husi- ness distress.

DEARTH OF CANDIDATES
 IN DEMOCRATIC RANKS
Leaders Seek Good Timber for Rep- resentative and Senatorial
 Nominations.

Local democrats are facing the prospect of entering an election without candidates for senator or representatives from this district, and with sentiment divided as to whether the offices should be by de- fault or the Alling- -Racklifte-Ju slate of the G. o. P. should be en- dorsed
 Party leaders are scurrying about in an effort 10 stir up enthusiasm which might be productive of can- didates for office but so far no as- pirants have come forth. Endorse ment Of the republican ticket is op- posed as q matter of policy. So strong is this policy adhered to when it is possible to get candidates, that even the suggestion Of ex-Mayor A. M. Paonessa. made when he was in office. that the candidacy of Senator Hall be endorsed were disregarded.
 The last general assembly ticket put in the field by the local demo- crats was made up of s. Gerard Casale as senatorial candidate. Ed ward Scalise and Thomas J. Smith as candidates for representatives.

 As q member of the roads rivers, and bridges committee, he was in the storm centeraof the legislature. He was a prime mover in having the state improve the "Cat Hole pass" road between Kensington and Meriden. while his work on behalf of his own community is shown by the excellent condition of all the state aid highways about Plainville. He withstood whitening attacks from various members of the house who sought roads for their consti- tuents and were unsuccessful, and he came out of the session more popular than he went in. It is eX- pected that he will again be on this committee during the coming session, and his name has been mentioned as house chairman of the committee.

RICHARD DEFENDS
 DENPSEY'S STAND
Denies That Champion Ever Has
 DOd5ed Harry Wills

New York. Aug. 26 Pl-Jacll Dempsey has never dodged Harry Wills and would rather have fought the negro challenger than Gene Tunney, if the bout could have been arranged, Tex Rickard today told The Associated Press.
 ITO say that Dempsey fears Wills is a joke" said the promoter. He considers him a clean-living, es- timable citizen but second-rate fighter"
 At the same time, the promoter, in a detailed statement defending the champions course, revealed that his own efforts to stage a Dempsey Wills match were blocked two years ago after he had gone so far as to have the tickets for the fight print ed.
 Opposition on the part of the state athletic commission thens was the barrier to the match, although pre- viously the boxing authorities had approved it. New Jersey put up q similar ban and Rickard gave up all thought of trying to hold the con- test.
 My experience with the Jefferies- Johfson bout long ago convinced me that a Dempsey-Wills match would not be a good thing for box ing" said Rickard. AS l became better acquainted with the game and talked with persons of influence l saw no reason to change my opinion. I have made more negro champions among them Jack Johnson. Tiger Flowers and Joe Gans-and pro- noted more mixed bouts than any other man in the country but l did not think it wise to hold this par ticular match"
 Dempsey, however, Rickard dis closed, had repeatedly urged him to obtain Wills instead of Tunney for a title match The promoter eX- hibited a series of telegrams to prove this assertion.
 Aside from my personal convic- ton that a Wills-Dempsey match is not practicable and that Tunney is a more dangerous opponent for the champion, l firmly believe that the mixed title contest cannot be held,' Rickard declared.
