detachment of artillery from Lerdo and
a aecond of artillery from Mexico City

these an attempt wlll.be made to aweep
the rebel-Infested reg'ona. Government
officials announced theao plans today.
President Madero doea not consider
the Northern situation serious. "I have
not the least doubt." he said, "that the

already dominated by Oroxco. I never
have doubted Oroxco'a loyalty and never
have considered dismissing him from
the service.
As to whether Vasques Gomes was
furnishing funds to promote a revolu
tion In Mexico. Madero expressed doubt.
"In my opinion." ho said. "Vasques
Gomes has no money to put Into such
an enterprise."

vive. and a motion was made by one of ths
members to strike out the names of the
water commissioners Inserted in ths
proposed charter and that they pro
ceed to nominate the commissioners by
petition in regular form as in other
elections.
The opponents to this action, after
considering the matter over night, in a
secret session, reconsidered the previous
vote taken on technical grounds and
railroaded through a motion to leave
the names In the charter. Owing to
the strong feeling against this proced
ure, evidenced by the petition filed
against It, the minority members suc
ceeded In effecting a compromise to
submit two charters Identically the
same, excepting one having the namea
of the proposed commissioners Inserted
and the other left blank, permitting the

charters will be numbered one and two,
respectively, and number two will be

PUBLIC SUSPICION SEEN
Plan of Nominating- Officers Actual
ly Under Ban Though Men Re
sponsible Tor System, Brady
and O'Neill Get Blame.
BY C E. ARNEY.
WALLACE. Idaho. Feb. I. (Special.)
No political settlement ss to whom
the Republican candidate for Governor
shall bo haa resulted from the extra
session of the Idaho Legislature, as pre
dicted by several of the leading lights
of tho party prior to Its beginning three
weeka ago.
One additional candidate from the
north and one from the south have been
brought into tho limelight one a law
yer from Moscow, Judge Warren Truitt;
the other a merchant from Montpeller,
Exra A. Burrell.
Judge Truitt Is an old practitioner
of the North and haa lived in Moscow
for many years. He has represented
his county In the State Senate and haa
been In many of the state conventions
of bis party for the last IS years.
Ex-Lieutenant-Oovernor Burrell is a
hardware merchant of Montpeller and
Is well known over Southern Idaho. He
has been In that portion of the state
for the past 20 years or more, locating
first at Blackfoot, but for the last 15
yeara living in Bear Lake County,
iraaalmlty of Sentiment Lacking,
There Is not a unanimity of senti
ment In the party of the state as to
the wisdom of actually settling on a
candidate for Governor. It is the con
tention of the devotees of the primary
system now in vogue In the state, that
there ahould be no concentrating of
sentiment on any particular candidate
for Governor or any other state of
fice. Such plan Is eharacterlxed by
Candidates Tweedy, of Lewlston. and
Clagstone, of Bonner, for Instance, as
a movement to defeat the purpose of
the primary plan of nomination
through connivance savoring of the
former plans adopted In state conven
tions. Those rwho have In mind the ex
pediency of a tacit agreement as to
who shall be the Republican nominee
for Governor in advance argue that
the political exigencies of the situation
require caution to the extent that wis
dom be used in the selection. Those
politicians favoring the agreement as
to candidates and other offices point
to the trouble of two years ago with
the direct primary plan of nominations
on trial for the first time.
"Look at the result two years sgo."
aid a prominent politician yesterday,
"with Brady and O'Neill spending any
where from 150.000 to 75,000 each to
secure a nomination. Clagstone started
out to prove that Brady spent more
than he waa entitled to under the law
and then stopped without going
through with the Investigation. Had
he puraued hla plan he would have
made himself Invulnerable this time aa
the party'a candidate for Governor, but
he fell flat when he quit, and ao did
the inquiry."
Rich Man's Game Been.
No matter what aentiment exists for
the direct primary, the Initial trial
given It In Idaho, especially through the
Brady and O'Neill candidacy, fixed in
the minds of the students of politics in
Idaho that the game of politics for the
higher offices especially was a rich
man's game. It Is true that atlgma
with aome attachea not to the svstem
but to the men responsible I. e, Brady
and O'Neill but with many the plan
of nominating officers Is actually under
the ban of public suspicion.
The Republican la the majority party
In Idaho. It has held away in tho atate
for the past ten years, with pronounced
majorities, except alone the defeat of
Brady in the Fall of 1910 by Hawley.
This waa more personal than politi
cal. There was grave suspicion that
Governor Brady was not sincere in his
many activities; and ho cannot be pass,
lve. The matters of comment at the
time which served to lose him votes
were the Mackey dam and kindred public
worka In the state which he waa
charged with neglecting for politics and
the local option question, whicn ne was
charged with favoring because It was
the popular thing to do at the time.
Withal, there la the suggestion that
the ex-Governor will again make a
political race, not for Governor, but
for Congress.
A large number of the papera which
came to hia support two years ago are
the foremost in their demand for him
to enter the Congressional field at this
time. If he does, his campaign will
serve to detract from the candldatea
for other offices. Including the Gov
ernor, which, up to date, has been the
whole show. But Brady's campaign for
anything will attract attention. Ha la
a good "Jollier, and a ready spenaer.
and makes the most of his time when
he la before the people for their fran
chise, which experience he thoroughly
enjoys.
As hinted at previously, the State of
Idaho during the present year Is going
to have one of the most Interesting
campaigns of her 22 years of making
political history.
SERVIAN CABINET RESIGNS
Discovery of Army Plots Against
King Contribute to Downfall.
BELGRADE, Servla, Feb. 1. The
Servian Cabinet haa resigned.
The Ministers took this step partly
on account of the recent dlsoovery of
what la known as the "Black Hand"
conspiracy In the array to force King
Peter to dismiss the Radical Cabinet
or to abdicate In favor of the Crown
Prince. Another reason given for the
resignation is that the supported af
forded by the Parliament to govern
ment haa declined considerably.
