4 " THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, " . PO RTLAND, MONDAY, APRIL 19, 1820. REVOLT !S BLAMED ON SELFISH OF AM mm By David Lawrence (Copyrighted, 1820.) Washington, April 19. Mexico is experiencing a recurrence of the trouble that started the preent era of revolution 10 years ago. After a reign of dread under Porifiro Diaz the latter assumed to use his presi dential office In the elections of June, 1910, to defeat Francisco Ma dero, and the country took up arm mnd drove out the dictator. Now after five years of painful re construction tinder Carranaa. the prei (ior.tial election are again scheduled, . 1 this time the supporters of General Alvaro Obregon, one of the principal "aitdidates and a hero ot revolution, are .ulipoken in their charge that Preston'- Carranza in manipulating the ma ilnery of the Kovernment In the interest Ignaco Benillas, his candidate. JINGO TALK I HEABD The secession of Sonora, General Obrefron's home state, from the Mexican union la a sypiptom of widespread revolt, but not necessarily conclusive evidence that civil war and bloodshed will fol low The people of Mexico don't want another era of destruction, and the ef fort to conduct a fair election will be supported by all the business elements a well as the influential citizenry who are not under the thumb of the govern ment officials or candidates. The realization that the cards have been stacked against Obregon has driven his supporters to extremes. Stories of high-handed tactics In suppressing elec toral freedom have reached here and do much damage to Mexico, for there is always a party in our national capital who accept every cloud that hangs over Mexico as justification for American in terferences. But friends of Mexico have not lost hope that she will go through the crisis without a revolution. PROMISES REPUDIATED But from Mexico itself come advices that a manifesto has gone to the na tion, signed by 48 members of the house of deputies and 16 members of the Mexi can senate, bluntly charging President Carransa with having exceeded his con stitutional power and with having "vio lated constitutional promises which In duced the Mexican people to take up rmj and engage in a bloody civil war." This is all the more resented because tie original revolution of 1910, the prin ciples of which the Carranza regime professed to support, was waged with the slogan "effective suffrage and no reelection." There follows a series of reasons for the movement in behalf of Obregon, among them violations of the ballot. CAKRANZA IS BLAMED Others are the packing of state gov ernorships, irregularity in the municipal elections in Mexico city, conclave of governors presumably to forward the desires of President Carranza In hand ling the election machinery, the resort by the executive lo methods of coercion Including the arrest of partisans of Ob regon. Imprisoning members of congress ot trumped up charges, and the -attempt Vtf entangle Obregon himself in court proceedings "so as to incapacitate him in, the electoral struggle." The manifesto, which was drawn up In' the green room of the chamber of deputies, closes with a warning that the responsibility for the evils that may grow out of the present situation will rest solely upon President Carranza and Mm associates. f'Al'ttE OF VILLA RAID Meanwhile the Washington govern ment is keeping a watchful eye on events below the Rio fJrande, and anticipates trouble along the International line if , hichuhua, which has always been, a hotbed of revolt, should decide to accom pany the state of Sonora in the seces sion movement. Naturally the Carranza government wants to transport troops through Amer ican territory so a to reach into the i northern states of Mexico front the American border states, but there is very little doubt as to what the United States government will do. The United States has had its fingers burned by allowing Mexican troops to pasa through tbe border states, the Columbus, N. raid by Villa being attributed to resent-r-.ent produced by the substantial aid given the Carranza government through permission to use the American rail way for military movements. 3VEUTBALITY 18 LIKELY Subsequent to that occurrence the Washington government incurred the re sentment of the rebels and very little gratitude from the Carranza government. Indeed, it was shown our government troubles with the Carranza regime have multiplied since then, so that what is purely a matter of discretion with the executive departments here will in all probability be decided adversely, and the Washington government will en deavor to enforce strict neutrality on the border as between all factions. So far as ran be ascertained there its no leaning here toward any candidate and the Washington government knows that to advocate any man It likes would only help to defeat such a candidate. Tc be over friendly to the United States is not a good asset for a Mexican can didate in these days of Intense nation alism in Mexico, so that even if the American government had a preference it would never be Indiscreet enough to express it. Proadly. however, former Ambassa dor Beniilas, who is supposed to be President Carranza's candidate, is bet ter known than any of the other candi dates, because of his residence here. though General Obregon has made a r good impression upon officials in the -' United States following, his visit to Washington, while General Gonzales, an other candidate, won admiration be cause he was frankly pro-ally through out the war, and urged Mexico to enter the European war after the United States had become a belligerent. Neu trality in word and deed, however, seems to be our government's watchword. 20 German Brides Arrive With Their Soldier Husbands (By T'nitl New) New York, April 19. Twenty German brides arrived with their soldier hus- bands on the transport Antigone when she docked at Hoboken Sunday with i troops from the American army of oc I cupation in Germany. Twelve of them 1 had babies. I The matter of prime importance that worried the proud papas was how it could be arranged so that the small sons could be presidents of the United States, their mothers having been Ger man and they having been born in Germany. The matter is still unset tled. There was some consolation in the fact that the youru; huskies could I at least be policemen. !
