The dispatch from Saltillo stating that the Carranza note njade no men- tion of the conditions under which he was sending delegates. was shown to the mediators. They declined to make formal comment, but let it be known that their attitude bad undergone no change. They reiterated that admis- slon of the Constitutionalists is and will continue to bé contingent upon declaration of an armistice. The mediators would ‘have no:ob- Jection if a conference could be held between the Huerta delegates, the Carranza delegates. and the Ameri- cans. In fact, such a suggestion has been under consideration -for some time, so that if an agreement could be reached between these three parties at interest the médiators would fina ly admit all to the signing of a proto- col. 2 3 It is considered possible that the Carranza delegates might be informal- 1y received here and their arguments heard as to-why an armistice cannot be declared. But on this point there has been no crystaliization of senti- ment and the influence of the Ameri- can delegates to obtain at least a hearing for the Constitutionalists when they come may be brought to bear on the situatian.

Its mas- ters of pantomime and expression, such as only the Italian school cre- ates delineate this gripping and thrilling narrative with its aura of of fighting and romance in such a dramatically powerful manner that at times it i8 with difficulty that the illusion of the camera is maintained.

According to the law, which pro- vides that each candidate shall file an expense account, a statement must be left with the county auditor on the second Saturday occurring af- ter such candidate has first made a -disbursement or incurred an obliga- tion, expressed or implied, to make a disbursement for political pur- poses, and thereafter on the second month, until all disbursements have been accounted for and also on the Sat- urday preceding any election or pri- mary.

C. Thomp- son of Blackduck, a member of the board of county commissioners, who is criticised by the Bemidji Sentinel because of having formerly been in ithe saloon business and now is do- ing his utmost-to assist in the nom- ination and election of Charles Hay- den for the state senatorship. Has Brilliant Record. Since his election to the board of county commissioners two years ago, Mr. Thompson has established a rec- ord for accomplishments and is re- garded highly by the residents of the county because of his energetic and successful efforts. Commissioner Thompson is sup- porting Mr. Hayden, following an acquaintancé of more than twenty years, it being twenty years ago that Mr. Thompson built a cabin for Hay- den on his homestead. Their friend- ship since that time has continually grown, and friends of both take ex- ception to the nasty fling as being absolutely uncalled for and counter- acting in nature. Was Unanimous Choice. It is true that Mr. Thompsor was in the saloon business, a fact that he does not deny. He was nomina- ted for county commissioner at a mass meeting held at Blackduck, at tended by fifty-seven voters, being the unanimous choice and was later elected by a majority of 130 out of a field of three candidates. His sa- loon ownership career was brief and the business was operated in connec- tion with his ‘hotel “I am i favor of a dry town and should the liguor question be put to the voters of Blackduck at another election, I would spend my money in an effort to keep the saloons out,” said Mr. Thompson. “All my life I have been more or less interested in the prohibition movement, and in the county in which I was born, Fayette, in Towa, T voted dry in the election that has since kept the sa- loons out of that county. While I was 'a resident of Aberdeen, South Dakota, I voted dry in the election that has since'kept the saloons out. I am supporting Mr. Hayden because of his great ability, and many quali- fications for the office and the in- sinuations that he is not sincere in his county option campaign is nothing more than a direct attack to injure the posaibilltles of - his nomination. No Law to Prevent. “There is mo law,” he continued, “which prohibits a newspaper man from heralding his own qualifications, whether true or otherwise, but I do not wish to cast reflections on Mr. Wilson so he will not say more. 1 am confident that Mr. Hayden is the best man for the position. His po- sition is always known, no matter on how seriouga proposition and no man can question his sincerity. He will be a credit to the district .if elected.” Every Inch a Man. “Not a single friend of Mr. Hay- den or Mr. Thompson will allow the attack of the Sentinel to go past un- ‘heeded,” was the comment of A. E. Witting, one of the most prominent business men of Blackduck and presi- dent of the Commercial club in that village. “I feel tthat it was abso- lutely uncalled for and instead -of causing the desired result will only assist in the nomination of Black- duck’s favorite for the senate.
