Villa Followers
Issue Manifesto
to Mexican People
Washington. June J7—* By the Asso
ciated P-f-ss;—Declaring in tavor of
the restoration of the constitution of
1857 and descrung Francisco Villa as
"the only leader who disinterestedly
and patriotically comoats and will
continue to combat for the welfare of
the people and for the re-edtablish
ment of constitutional order,” ten
generals, including Villa's chief of
staff and more than fifty other offi
cers ana a number of civilians have
issued a manifesto to the Mexican
people announcing their position n
the present situation.
The manifesto, a copy of which
reached Washington today, was is
sued at Hacienda Salaices. district of
Jiminex. Chihuahua. It -states that
the Vilistas endeavored to join the
Sonora revolt at its -nception. hoping
that it shared the same ideals and
principles as their own. "but." it
stales, “unfortunately, our good faith,
our honesty and out patriotism have
been met with intrigues, disloyalty
and treachery and with the most ab
solute disregard for the justice that
has been and still is ours."
The Obregomstas. the manifesto
continues, "demanded that the sign
ers of the «nanifesio aoandon then
chief. Gen. Viial. and retire to private
life or serve in the army under
an pbregonuRa chieftain, and that
Gen. Villa retire to private life and
confine himself to the state of Sonora
until after the elections, when he
•onld live anywhere in the republic as
a private citizen.” This is the first
information reaching Washington as j
to the terms proposed by the new j
regime in its effort! to secure the re- j
regime in its efforts to secure the re- j
tirement of Villa. The signers also
charge that the emissaries of
Ubrogyn and De la Huerta attempted
wholesale assassinations after getting
the Villista generals into conference
q*th a view to ending the Villistas
movement

es the hard e-ground for the
Democratic national conven
tion.
Candidates cannot be consid
ered until prohibition, the
League of Nations and the
Irish question have been fought
out on the floor. Contests over
these planks in the party plat
form seem inevitable and the
convention is all set for a
stormy time.
Bryan the Big Nose
The big light over William Jen
nings Bryan s determination to tam
“a platform no wet can run cm." On
this administration—or ' Wilson—
forces appear so far to be pursuing a
hands off policy As yet no one
knows what to expect from the White
House
On the League of Nations issue the
administration forces are lined up far
a piank modelled after the Virginia
platform which declares for a coven
ant “without destructive reserva
tions."
Mr. Bryan and ms associates want
a declaration fpr the League with
reservations to "safeguard every in
terest." The lines of the fight over
the Irish question art not so closely
defined.
No Chance >n Strength
While the questions of issues is’
boiling, little i-hange is apparent in
the line of strength qf the various
candidates Cox and Patn.gr are ex-,
pected to go in tor a test of strength
on the first ballots, much after the
fashion of the Wood and Lowden
race at the Republican coirventtan.
In the background, waiting to appear
at what they consider the pyactio
ngical moment, are the invisible and
intangible, but admittedly formidable
forces working for McAdoo.
The Cox psopir profess to iiave
enough strength to eliminate Palrntr
on the preliminary ballota. and then
pian to pit ttwnr candidate against the
held, which by nature of McAdoo s po
sition includes him. The ~ pClmer
iorces. pointing to the
League declarations of war im Cox.
and Bryan s expressed views on the
same success, predict that any acces
sions to another candidate will not be
made from their strength.
To Matte Show in Oboning
Meanwhile both the Cox
managers are borrowing daWimtoo
from the field to make a showing on
the opening ballots. In line with their
policy of forcing the nomination*to
call their candidate, the McAdoo paw
pie are not working openly bgt are
very busy amongthe undancurseats.
