CANTU REPORTS AMERICANS
WILL SERVE MACHINE GUNS
AGAINST GOVERNMENT ARMY
Governor of Lower California Terminates
Relations With Provisional President
With Expression of Confidence In His
Ability to Withstand, Any Aggressions
(Republican Associated Press Leased Wire)
MEXICALI, Lower California, July 30. Governor
Esteban Cantu's action terminating relations with the
Mexican provisional government and reports that Ameri
can ex-service men were to serve machine guns for the
.Cantu forces were the outstanding features tonight in the
situation here arising out of the announced intention of
the provisional government to wrest control of Lower
California from Governor Cantu.
It was said by officers of the Cantu forces that suf
ficient American veterans had crossed the international
boundary line from Calexico to serve the twenty-one ma
chine guns said to be part of the equipment of the Cantu
army.
Preparations to resist the invasion which Governor
Cantu has announced was to be made by Mexican federal
soldiers continued rapidly. Recruits who have enlisted
here were drilled today and Governor Cantu expressed
confidence he would have an army of sufficient strength
to resist any troops that might attack his men. .
Governor Cantu, who is raising an
army to repel Mexican federal troops,
said today he had been promised sup
port of practically all the seven thou
sand Chinese In the district. Japanese
residents were expected to advise the
governor tonight as to the support
they will rive him. There are about
500 Japanese here.
No Mexican federal troops have left
Guaymaa for Lower California as re
ported, according to a telegram re
ceived here today by W. F. Boyle,
American consul, from American Con
sul Tost, at Guaymas. ' Yost said it
was rumored at Guaymas that troops
were being sent from Manzanillo and
Maxatlan.
Mobilize Troops
EL PASO. Texas, July 30 Mexican
federal forces numbering several thou
sand men are being mobilized and
moved against Lower California to put
down the rebellion against federal au
thority of Governor Este'bau Cantu.
it was announced today by General
P. Elias Calles, Mexican minister of
war and marine, who Is here en route
to Torreon, Durango, to confer with
Francisco Villa, the bandit, concerning
tho latter's surrender. .
Cantu never has accepted the au
thority of the Mexican central govern
ment, neither now or under the late
President Carranza, General Calles
said. He attempted to run the state(
as separate from the balance of Mex
ico and for his personal ends, the war
secretary added. - ;
Attacks Moral Conditions
"Cantu was ordered to close gam
bling and vice ot the worst kind which
has operated under his protection."
said General Calles. "He refused to do
bo, continuing to flaunt to the werld
a disgraceful condition that works
against Mexico as a whole. The fed
eral government is determined to end
vice as quickly as can be in every pos
sible place. Baja California Is a ter
ritory, not a state of Mexico, and the
governor must be subservient to the
wishes of the national government.
"There has been much agitation in
California against the vice in the
neighboring state of Mexico and we
know the women of California will
praise us for attempting to clean up
these pest holes. Highways in the
United States leading to Mexican cities
in Lower California have signs read
ing 'This road to hell. These signs
tell the truth."
The federal government of Mexico
has funds arranged to carry out sev
eral big irrigation projects in Chihua
hua and Sonora, according to General
Calles.

NEW YORK, July 30. The league of
nations U 'nothing more than an at
tempt to establish an international
bankers soviet," declared P. P. Chris
tensen, presidential nominee of the
Farmer-Labor party here today.
"The league of nations is a dead is
sue," he said. "If it were not, I should
want to kill it." , -
Endorsement of Irish freedom was
another point on which he expressed
himself.
"I am one of those who is suffici
ently . in Jove with the principles of
human freedom to come out sqxiarely
for recognition of the Irish republic,"
he said. Referring to tho attempts of
Governor Cox and Senator Harding to
persuade Tennessee to pass the equal
suffrage law, he said:
"If Cox and Harding can't get rati
fication, I win go down and try the
rebels myself."
Begin in New York
Mr. Christensen announced that the
national campaign of the third party
will be launched in New York city,
where, he said, "are enthroned the
powers we are fighting." These pow
ers, ho explained, are. collectively,
'Wall street," for it is Wall street, he
added, "that wins, no matter which of
the old party candidates is elected."
"We are out," he continued, "to re
store the government to the people
to make it impossible for Woodrow
Wilson to say in the future as he has iri
the past that 'The government of the
United States is controlled by the com
bined corporations and financiers of
the United States.' It was true when
he said it, and it is true today. We
want to make it true no longer."
Attacks Old Parties
Both the Democratic and Repub
lican parties, the candidate declared,
are "engaged in a conspiracy to
camouflage the league issue." Their
purpose in perpetuating the discussion,
he continued, is "to blind th people
to the vital issues. The platforms on
which they stand are 'disgustingly
empty. "
Mr. Christensen charged that "there
Is a plot on between the reactionaries
of the Republican and Democratic par
ties to stifle ratification of the nine
teenth amendment by the necessary
thirty-sixth state."
Third party leaders, conferring here,
announced today they are making
progress in whipping into shape plans
for a national campaign.

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
DAYTON, Ohio, July 30. Belief that
he would be elected president was ex
pressed by Governor Cox today in an
address at the "homecoming" celebra
tion here. After standing two hours
under a burning sun, reviewing a par
ade estimated to contain between 8600
and 12,000 marchers, crowds stormed
the reviewing stand and insisted on a
brief address from the guest of honor.
In which he thanked his audience "for
the testimonial" given him.
"I just said to a gentleman , from
Washington that it would appear to be
reflection on one's judgment to desire
to leave Dayton and live in any other
place," he said. "Yet somehow I have
a feeling I am going to reside in the
White House which you yourselves
own. As the future tenant of these
premises I promise to take good care
of it."
Extends Invitation
To another crowd which almost
crushed the governor and Mrs. Cox as
they left the reviewing stand and
forced them to take shelter in the
county jail building, Governor Cox said
Jocularly:
"I invite you all to come-to see me
in Washington."
The governor left his Trails End li
brary to review the parade in the

for the thousands who packed the par
ade route, released by a half holiday.

shouted at the governor by hundreds
of the paraders. "Three cheers for
Jimmy," and "Hi. Jimmy, I'll see you
in the White House" were other greet
ings. Candidate Responds;

kerchief and applauding each group,
responded in kind. ;
"Hello, Buck," and "Hello there,
Pete," and "Hello, Ike," and "How are
you, Charley," were among the greet
ings he shouted back.
"I have seen men who have fol
lowed my standard for 12 years, who
gave me confidence in 1908," said the
governor. "I am prouder to have held
it than to have inspired it at the
outset."
"Jimmy" Cox also was the keynote
of many banners on. parade floats and
marchers' banners. ' '
"Fighting Jimmy, we're behind you,"
raid one banner, .while others declared
"Be Cox Sure in November" and
"Jimmy Will Do."
Convention Band Leads

plard "Ohio," the convention battle
song, as it marched by the governor,
while the "Cox Boosters," an organiza

would "nominate Cox or know the rea
son why," they sang they would "elect
Jimmy Cox or know the reason why."
The Rainbow division band and about
a dozen others also took part in the
parade.
Over the parade line airplanes per
formed, while bombs of daylight fire
works sounded their cannonade.

FEIN IS PART
OFMlLSHEflST
CONSPIRACIES
Unionist Leaders Assert
Movement for Freedom
Of Irish Is Plot to Crush
Great Britain
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
LONDON, July 30. An official re
port concerning the reception Thurs
day by Premier Lloyd George of a
deputation of Unionist peers and mem
bers of the house of commons to dis
cuss Ireland, shows that the chief
spokesmen were the Duke of North
umberland and Sir Edward Carson,
Unionist leader, both of whom em
phasized that the Sinn Fein was part
of a great world-wide conspiracy in
which bolshevism and German revenge
were playing an active part, aiming
at the destruction of Great Britain.
The duke alluded to an alliance al
leged to have been formed early in 1919
between the Sinn Fein and bolsheviki
through Dr. . Patrick, McCartan, Sinn
Fein "ambassador" to the United
States, and declared that the program
of the Sinn Fein was virtually identical
with that propounded by the third In
ternationale. Quotes Americans
Sir Edward Carson elaborated his
theme of the existence in the United
States and other parts of the world of
propaganda bureaus representing the
discontented people of Egypt, India
and Ireland. He argued it was from
the time that Frank P. Walsh of the
Irish propaganda , bureau in America
"came to Ireland last year that the
Sinn Fein became unmanageable in a
conspiracy which would eventually
beat the British government." He
quoted from speeches of Judge D, F.
Cohalan of New York to support his
arguments. He referred to the exist
ence of a German propaganda bureau
In Zurich to foment Irish discontent
and declared Germany never would
abandon her struggle for revenge. He
also spoke disdainfully of the principle
of self-determination being applied to
all small nations without considera
tion of the interests of larger nations.
Premier Lloyd George expressed dis
appointment that the deputation had
failed to suggest possible remedies for
the situation. He agreed there was
bolshevist support behind anti-British
activities in Ireland, and said he would
not be surprised if there also was bol
shevist money. "But," he 'added, "we
should make a mistake jf -e came to
the conclusion that the Sinn Fein is
purely a bolshevist conspiracy against
Great Britain."
Condition Worse Than War
The premier touched on the diffi
culty of finding necessary troops and
officers for carrying out a military
policy in Ireland, "under conditions
worse and more wearing to men's
nerves than the late war."
"We are doing our best." he con
tinued, "but we want recruits. We
Want officers to lead and to guide. We
want a thousand to put down this con
spiracy." Then, having alluded to the drastic
nature of the government's bill and the
difficulty of seeing criminals are
brought to Justice, he emphasized the
necessity of .having public opinion be
hind any effective law. That, he said,
"you can only do by making it clear
that this is not your sole remedy or
your last word." Mr. Lloyd George
contended that there was need for a
side-by-side policy for enforcing the
law and for a policy of granting Ireland
any measure of liberty and self-government
consistent with the supremacy
and security of the United Kingdom.
He emphasized the necessity of getting
the vast mass of British opinion, es
pecially the working class, behind the
government's policy, declaring: "1 do
not believe you can govern Ireland
under any other conditions."

WHEAT TAKES BIG
1 TUMBLE IN PRICE
CHICAGO, July ; 30 For the first
time since ending of government con
trol of the wheat market, wheat has
been sold in Chicago at less than $2.23
a bushel, the price guaranteed by con
gress. December wheat went as low
as $2.21, an overnight tumble of 12H
cents. ' . , . ,
Absence of buying demand was the
feature in today's operations. A gen
erally accepted explanation of the ap
parent reluctance of purchasers was
strained financial conditions, notably
weakness of foreign exchange.
Corn, oats and provisions declined
in sympathy with wheat, but kept
within normal limits. The amount of
business in the feed grains, exceeded
by many times the local transactions
in wheat. Dealings in future deliveries
of wheat appear to be increasing a
little daily, but are still far below an

Referfing to the conference at Day
ton yesterday between .Governor Cox
and Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, a
Democratic supporter of the Republi
can treaty reservations, Senator Hard
ing said it was evident they had not
agreed on article 10 and that the Dem
ocratic nominee was standing by the
president for ratification of the league
without essential modifications. ' '
The statement also rapped George H.
White, the Democratic national chair
man, for his criticism of the Repub
lican plan to hold campaign contribu
tions to $1,000. each, and predicted that
bv November the country would show
its disapproval of unlimited campaign
funds.
"Undoubtedly it is quite true," he
continued, "that certain powerful 'in?
ternational, interests deeply concerned
in carrying out the administration's
foreign policy are prepared to contrib
ute most liberally to the Democratic
funds. Undoubtedly it is true, too,
that without such contributions,' the
Democrats would find it difficult to
raise the' funds they need."
The candidate did not reveal wheth
er he would make the league Issue a
feature of his firs front porch address
tomorrow, but those In his confidence
said he was prepared to follow, up the
fight with other public utterances soon.
Tomorrow's address is to be delivered
to a delegation from Mansfield, Ohio.
Gist of, Statement
Senator Harding's statement said:
"Our Democratic friends are having
difficulty getting away from the em
barrassment incident to their candi
date's visit to the White House and
the announcement that he and th
president found themselves in entire
accord.
"At the time of their conference I
addressed some questions to the Dem
ocratic candidate, which he has not
thus far seen fit to answer. One was
whether in bis conference with Presi
dent Wilson he had pledged himself to
the ratification of the treaty and league
without essential modifications. An
other was whether article 10 had been
accepted by him. Still further, I asked
whether Governor Cox had undertaken,
if elected, to renew the demand that
this country take a mandate over
Armenia. I asked whether Governor
Cox had undertaken to maintain the
administration policy in the Adriatic
where their policy has already well
nigh forfeited the ' friendship of the
Italian nation, brought Italy to the
verge of revolution and almost wrecked
the establishment of peace. I asked
whether Governor Cox had pledged
himself to insist, as President "Wilson
has heretofore insisted, that Thrace
shall be settled as Bulgaria desires
rather than as Greece desires.
Questions Unanswered
"In short, I asked whether the
Democratic nominee has taken over
the various known and unknown com
mitments of the administration's for
eign policy in order to establish har
mony between the president and Gov
ernor Cox.
"None of these, questions has been
answered. But there is accumulating
evidence as to the Democratic atti
tude. Senator 'Walsh of Massachu
setts, a Democrat, was in Dayton yes
terday and after a long talk with Gov
ernor Cox, declared, ho was going tf
support tho governor. According to
the newspaper reports, the senator was
asked about Governor Cox's decision
regarding article 10 aU Senator Walsh
said 'It was possible for him to agree
with a candidate on nine out of ten
issues and still support that candidate
even if they differed on tho tenth
proposition.'

Therefore the workers of Great Britain

"Civil war," "WTorld revolution" and
"Profound distrust" of parliamentary
action appear in several of the answers.
The concluding part of the document,
as quoted by The Times, says: "It is
probable that when throwing off tho
chains of the capitalist governments
the revolutionary proletariat of Kurop
will meet the resistance of Anglo-Saxon
capital in the persons of British and
American capitalists, who will attempt
to block it. It is then possible the revo
lutionary proletariat of Kurope will riso
in union with the peoples of the east
a.Tid commence a revolutionary" struggle,
tho scene of which will be the entire
world, to dal the final blow at British
and American capitalists."
