Huerta is Inviting Trouble.
Obviously Mr. HUERTA, of Mexico, is
“ "lectioneerin’ for a lickin.’ In his
“Independence Day” address to Congress
he deliberately defied the United States
government and with equally manifest
intent, cast aspersions upon the Presi-
dent of the United States. “Besides the
fratricidal strife which exhausts us,” he
declares, “the tenseness of our diplomat.
ic relations with the government of the
United States, although luckily not with
the people, has put us in a state of appre-
hension, has made us suffer more than
one affliction, which was not merited, and
retarded the complete pacification of the
Republic.” Further on he adds, “the
executive is ignorant of the causes which
may have prompted this conduct.” Fi-
nally he refers, boastfully, to his army of
100,000 men.
If Mr. HUERTA imagines that the peo-
ple of the United States are not in full
accord with President WILSON’S policy in
relation to Mexico, he would better in.
voke such sources of information as are
available to the public in both countries.
If he is not acquainted with the reasons
why the government of the United States
has thus far refused to officially recog-
nize his administration as the govern.
ment of Mexico, he might get some val-
uable pointers by addressing a postal
card to the query department of any well
conducted country newspaper in either
country. Everybody else in the United
States and Mexico knows that the man-
ner in which he acquired the office is the
ample reason for the attitude of the gov-
ernment of the United States with re-
spect to the matter.
Mr. HUERTA is a usurper in the office
to which he claims title and the recogni.
tion of his administration as the govern-
ment of Mexico would be equivalent to
condoning one of the most atrocious
crimes of recent history, The President
of the United States has frankly inform-
ed him of its complete information rela-
tive to the facts in the matter and added
that as soon as he relinquishes his stolen
power to a government properly consti-
tuted, recognition will be freely and cor-
dially tendered If this is not satisfacto-
ry to Mr. HUERTA he is in fullenjoyment
of liberty to sulk, but he has no license
to call names or make faces. In other
words, he may provoke the people of the
United States to resentment if he gets
too gay with his mouth.
Stockholders of the Reading and
affiliated corporations anticipate a melon
cutting in the event of a dissolution of
the coal trust. If that is the way those
interested feel about it why do they re-
sist the government suit to force a disso-
lution?
Cost of Production and the Tariff.
One of the ex-Presidents of the Asso-
ciation of American Manufacturers, of
which MARTIN MULHALL was one of the
lobbyists, testified before a Congression-
al committee, the other day, that th.
association had spent $2,000,000 for the
purpose of influencing legislation, within
‘a period of ten years. The energies of
the association were directed toward the
maintenance of high tariff taxation. The
process adopted was the tariff commis-
sion. For that purpose the witness in
question declared, still under oath, that
he had procured a seat in the United
States Senate for ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE,
of Indiana. BEVERIDGE became the
sponsor for and champion of the tariff
commission project.
The $2,000,000 thus employed to de-
bauch legislation was, of course, charged
up to the cost of maintenance of indus-
trial plants and written into the cost of
production of manufacturers. This cost
of production, in excess of the cost in
foreign countries, was given as a reason
why high tariff schedules should be con-
tinued. If the money had been added to
the profit instead of the loss account of
the operation, there would have been
that much less difference in the cost of
production at home and abroad and in
the same ratio less reason for the high
tariff schedules. But the members of
the Association of American Manufac-
turers preferred the devious course and
compelled the consumers of their pro-
ducts to pay the difference.
Last fall Senator BEVERIDGE became
“the right hand” of THEODORE ROOSE-
VELT in a crusade to seize the govern-
ment under pretense that other men
representing other parties were striving
to betray the interests of the people. It
has already been shown that ROOSEVELT
was the servile tool of J. 'PIERPONT MOR:
GAN during the entire time he occupied
the office of President. The testimony of
D. M. PARRY, ex-president of the Asso-
ciation of American Manufacturers shows
that Senator BEVERIDGE was the tool of
that corrupt organization and their cam-
paign of last year was a conspiracy to
use the government as an instrument to
promote the interests of MORGAN and
the manufacturers,

Tuesday’s Primaries in Centre County. The Results in Bellefonte Soromgh. BiNG.—William Henderson Bing, a re-
|
The first primaries under the new di-
' for the office of tax collector.
rect primaries law were held on Tuesday
and if the result in Centre county can be
taken as a criterion it is a question if
they will prove popular. Only about one-
third of the Democratic voters in the
county went to the polls to register their
votes, and it is a question if that number |
would have been there had it not been
for the contest on state committeeman.
Only a few over one thousand Republi
cans, about twenty-five per cent. of the
vote registered, turned out to vote. One
very noticeable thing was the light Wash.
ington party vote, it being less than two
hundred
The only contest of any importance
was that between W. D. Zerby, of Belle-
fonte, and William F. Smith, of Millheim,
for state committeeman on the Democrat-
ic ticket. Mr. Zerby won out through
the support given him in the Democratic
strongholds in Pennsvalley. J. Adam Ha-
zel had an easy victory over Russell
Stamm for jury commissioner on the
Democratic ticket.
The vote for Superior court judge was
widely scattered. Grim and Kephart car-
ried the county, the former because he
is generally known by Democrats and the
latter undoubtedly because of his liberal
campaign of advertising. But at that
Alcorn and Ames, the two men at the
head of the ticket and neither of whom
is known in Centre county, ran close to
the winners, which shows that a large
number of voters simply mark the first
name on the ballot regardless of who the
man is.
Throughout the county there were a
few precincts in which the local tickets
were not filled, owing to the fact that
there were no candidates for the various
offices. In most instances where candi-
dates were not regularly announced and
their names printed on the ballot, enough
names were written in to fill the ticket
The compiled returns of the vote on the
state and county ticket will be found in
above column.
Totals in ‘the County.
The unofficial vote in the county gives
Smith 669 and Zerby 1092 for state com-
mitteeman; for jury commissioner Hazel
958, Stamm 295, Decker 1007 and Bush
131. The four highest candidates for
Superior court judge are Kephart 395;
Grim 387; Ames 274, and Alcorn 238.
——As the election of Mr. ZERBY, as
member of the State committee, was only
to fill a vacancy created by the new elec.
tion law, the question as to whether he
will have opposition for election for
the regular term, following the time he
serves depends entirely on whether he
will act for the party, as such, or for a
new faction of it. It may be well for
him to keep in mind that less than 1200
of the 4000 Democrats of the county were
willing to enroll themselves as factionists
at the election on Tuesday last, and that
the great majority of Centre county
Democrats have neither sympathy with
nor support for any effort that may be
made to divide the party in the interest
of factionalism.
—The result of a very bitter fight for
the judicial nomination in Clearfield
cousty has resulted in placing two Demo-
crats on the ticket in that county.

Bible reading and song, and gracious
words of welcome by Mrs. Woodcock, of

read. Especially interesting was the ac-
count of the campaign against the saloon
in Philipsburg during which the names of
all signers on petitions for liquor li-
censes were published and spread broad-
cast throughout the town, arousing a
tremendous interest in the temperance
cause, resulting in bringing many new

A welcome break in the closing busi-

feelingly and helpfully, saying he, too,
was ready to help in the effort for the
betterment of conditions and his sympa-

Soon after the reading of the scientific

Meet Again.”
