== ———————— 2 ILLINOIS POLITICS BADLY MIXED UP Republiean and Democratic Con- ventions May Adjourn Until After Primaries. LAW ON BUBJECT I§ NOT CLEAR PEORIA, 111, April 21.-—Party 1aaders from every section of Illinois wre here today to attend the opening | of the republican state convention. The convention is to nominate three candidates for trustees of the Uni- versity, name twenty-seven presiden- tial electors, one from each of the twenty-five congressional districts of the state and two at large, and adopt a party platform for the fall campalgn. It 18 possible that the convention may adjourn until after the Beplember primaries without completing its work, Heveral Influential éaders deciare there 18 & question regarding the legality of holding the state convention at this time because of the ambiguous provisions of the election law on the subject. Another argument in favor of delay is the opinion that the party will be in a helter position to draft a state platform after the candidates for president and gnvernor have heen chosen, It the convention decides to proceed with its program without adjourning, Kenator L. Y. Sherman will, it 18 ex- pected, be endorsed for president, and the plan of the leaders fs to insert a plank In the platform strongly urging the necessity for adequate military and raval preparedness for national defense. Democrats In Similar Predicament, EPRINGFIELD, 1L, April #1.~LAttle action was expected from the democratic #tale convention at its meeting here today beyond organization and the Ap- pointment of a nominating committes and platform eommittes, “1 have every reason to belleve that After arranging for nominating and plat- form committees, the convention will ad- Journ until some day in Beptember,” sald Attorney General P. J. Lucey, chairman of the convention. “The reason for postponing the busl- heas of the convention until Beptember,” ho sald, “Is to give candidates for state offices n share in framing the platform to be adopted by tha convention. By that time the candidates will have heen The new republican state central com- mittes met at noon and slected Fred E, Bteriing of Rockford chairman, Former Governor Charles 1.

C. Held- rich, vice president of the Peoria Cordage company, told the wsal investigating pommities today that the government was ready to spend the battleship Geor- #a to Progreso, Yuoatan, sveral months K0 10 fores the delivery of 100,000 bales of simal to the International Harvester vompany. News of the government's contemplated action, he said, caused the Carranza officlals to deliver the fiber to the company, which divided it with inde- pendents. "It whs stated to me by ome of the sabinet members,” sald Mr. Heidrioh, “that the cabinet in session had declded that |t necessary—if it were the only sxpedient left—to send the Georgia to wrogreso with instructions that If the 400,000 bales were not delivered to steam- ers provided, the marines would go ashore and load the fiber on the steam- ore. Payment was to bo made as the sisal was delivered and without any definite agreement, and it was under- stood the man who made the payments would have protection from the captain of the Des Mbines, which was in those waters.” The State department objected to the plan, he sald, but the difficulty was solved by Carranza officials withdraw- ing their opposition.

Mr. Marshall forwarded to Washington today the evidence collected by federal agents in regard to the lease of the prem- Ises at 40 Wall street, occupied by von Tgel, which is understood to show that the lense was taken In von Igle's name, This evidence was desired in conneetion with the seitlemant of the question as to whether the offices were rented by the Gierman embaasy and, therefore, were to be considered German territory.

To that Sec- rotary Bryan replied ‘“There never can be a last word be- | tween friends.” One portion of the bill which is un- derstood to draw the resentment of the Inpanese government is the inclusion by inferencs at least of Japanese in the excluded olass with Hindus, although the aame paragraph of the bill excepts from the exclusion such as are covered in “existing agresments.’ | This phase refers to the Root-Takahira agreement. The exclusion provision as it passed the house read: Hindus and persons who ocannot be- come eligible under existing law to be- come citizens of the United States by i th 1 op il do- [ . i othicotie’ mrovided | Siniioution, By thih. the SOl Iaree site for by existing agreements as to pasa- Fnru. or by existing treaties, conven lons or agreements or by treaties, con- vontions or agreements that may here- after be entered into.” The senate commitiee amended the pro- vislon to delete the name of “Hindus and” and made it read this way:" Persons who cannot become eligible | they have neither the Japanese nor the | under existing law to hecome citizens of the United States by naturnlization, un- less otherwise provided for by existing agreements as to passports, or by exist- ing treaties, conventions or agreements, or by treaties, conventions or agreements that may hereafter be entered into.
