from the national committee, was
caught and sent from silvery orator

The committee met to dispose of
contests; but, speaking paradoxically,
the two contests were harmonious ones
and tiicy were not decided.
Time was when the Republicans had
their bickerings all smoothed out be

sort of juafrennlal free-f or-all yelling

went smoothly up to the convention
time and then began to burst.

Chairman Wlliiam F. McCombs of the
Democratic national committee, ar.
noatTCea t6day that he has prepared a
resolution to submit to the platform
committee asking for a planu demand
ing a constitutional amendment that
would prevent any federal judge from
being elected to any other office.
The resolution Is a direct outgrowth
of the nomination of Justice Hughes
by the Republican convention, but it
is Intended to be so broad that even
district federal Judges would be barred
from other offices.
McCombs' resolutions as at presetit
drafted reads:
"A constitutional amendment should
be adopted by congress to provide for
making our federal judges ineligible
for any other office under the govern
mem. in order to preserve me in
tegrity of the judiciary."
No Effect on Hughes.
McCombs explained that his rropo

St. Louis, June 12. (U. P.) Events
In Chicago and Oyster Bay Saturday
have changed the color of this week's
Democratic convention, and Instead of
being a perfunctory ratification meet
ing it may turn out to be a truly thrill
ing affair. Quiet conferences among
Democratic committeemen Sunday and
Sunday night resulted in a determina
tion on a new program.
Theodore Roosevelt's refusal to run
reiterated yesterday, has inspired a
plan to unite the Democratic and Pro
gressive parties. It Is the opinion of
Democratic committeemen that Roos
velt's refusal spells the death of the
Progressive party. The committee
men will bend every effort toward the
gathering in of the 4,000,000 Progres

with Washington by wire in the brief

the White House is said to be pre

tillery and the engineering corps at
Washington barracks here to proceed
at once to the Mexican border for pa
trol duty. This action was taken fol
lowing the receipt of additional news
of a disturbing character.
So far. Baker said, he sees no need
for calling on the states for additional
militia troops for border duty. It was
to call for state troops, unless it is de
cided virtually to denude coast defense
fortifications and tend coast artillery
contingents.
If more militia is called, officers
said, they probably will be drawn from
states near the border.

The note will politely but finally re
fuse a withdrawal, or even a re-ar
rangement of American troops. it was
practically completed today. It is very
long.
Among reasons cited for not with
drawing troops now, the president will
emphasize the fact that the murderers
of Americans at Santa Ysabel not only
have not been punished, but have not
been apprehended. It will recite also
recent raids on American soil,
Kmphasis also will be laid on recent
ly received consular reports that the
situation in northern Mexico requires
American troops there, in view of the
attitude of natives toward foreigners
as well as Americans. There was
every Indication in official circles here
today that the note would leave no
doubt in Carranza's mind that the
United States will brook no more pos
sibility of future troubles that might
endanger American lives or embarrass
the government in any way
Consular reports, it was explained

is said the allies have asked Japan to
send the troops to Peking to preserve

thus saving France and Russia and
England from sending forces. It is
believed the troops will be fent from

about 1500 men along the railroad

Well, that's the kind of a Fourth of

men, women and children.

citizens has been selected by Mayor

to "make the old town sit up and

The Idea was first suggested at a

directors thought the Idea was a good
one and suggested to Ma or Albee that
committee be selected .to plan for
