Huerta to Stick
to Presidency.
President Wilson Is Now at Work on
a New Plan to Bring About Peace In
Mexico.
Another presidential election will be!
ordered for February, according to a
semi-official announcement made ip
Mexico City, Mex.
From the same source it was learn-
ed that General Huerta has no inten
tion of surrendering the provisional
presidency to General Blanquet, his
running mate in Sunday's election, but
will hold on, thinking the powers will
take no action pending the second elec
tion.
Prior to this announcement it was
said that in the event that the Huerta
Blanquet ticket was sbown to have
polied a majority in Sunday's presi
dential election, sufficient to be de
clared elected, as seems probable, con
gress would declare the Huerta votes
void and Blanquet would take the oath
as vice president and assume office as
president, pending the calling of fur
ther elections. This statement was
made by the Mexican foreign minister,
Senor Moheno.
The clause in the constitution pro-
hibiting the president from succeeding
himself does not apply to the vice
president, Moheno explained, and Gen-
eral Blanquet would be eligible.
The returns continue to pile up plu-
ralities for the Huerta ticket. Even
the leaders of the Catholic party, who
at first were extremely optimistic, ad-
mit the probability of the election of
Huerta and Blanquet.
The majority of senators and depu-
ties reported elected thus far are said
to be members of the Catholic party.
Manuel Calero, who seemingly was
snowed under along with David de la
Fuente, expects to leave soon for New
York.
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the Amars
can charge d'affaires, demanded of
Foreign Minister Moheno an explana-
tion of the arrest of Leopold Blum, an
American citizen, at Vera Cruz. When
Blum arrived he was placed in a filthy
cell, but as soon as the American offi-
cial began inquiring as to the cause of
his arrest he received lighter and
cleaner quarters. Apparently the only
charge against Blum is that he is a
friend of Felix Diaz, and unless more
formal charges are made hig release
will be demanded.
President and Secretary Bryan Formu-
lating New Mexican Policy.
Secretary of State Bryan said that a
formal note had been sent to all the
European governments asking them to
suspend the formulation of a policy
toward Mexico until the United States
had defined its attitude.
While England, France and Ger
many, he said, already had been heard
from, it is expected that the other
governments will follow the three
great powers in awaiting the decision
of the United States as to the next
step toward bringing peace in Mexico.
President Wilson had a conference
with Bryan, and the secretary said
they were at work on the next step in
the policy that will be pursued. It is’
expected that the United States first
will make frmal demand for the elimi.
nation of Huerta and the conduct of
fair and free elections, possibly with
some safeguards to systematize the
election machinery.
There was absolutely no comment
forthcoming from executive quarters
as to just what was intended by the
United States, but it was generally
agreed in official circles that some
positive action looking toward a solu-
tion o fthe problem would be in line
with the expectations of the powers.
Maderos’ Wives Ask U. 8. Aid.
The wives of Evarista and Daniel
Madero, relatives of the late President
Madero, arrested by General Huerta's
orders at Monterey on a charge of trea-
son, appealed to the United States for
assistance in behalf of the accused
men,
Their plea was made to the United
States consul general, D. W. Canada,
and President Wilson's special envoy,
John Lind in Vera Cruz. They were
told that the American gevernment al-
ready had made representations at the
Mexican capital to insure a fair trial
for both men.
With Felix Diaz now on board the
United States battleship Louisiana, to
which he was transferred from the
gunboat Wheeling, he has lost all the
prestige he gained by aiding in the
overthrow of Madero. Even friends of
Diaz declare he lost by “cowardice”
his opportunity for becoming a na-
tional hero. They assert that by go-
ing to Mexico City he could have
brought to his banner thousands of
Mexicans who were admirers of Por-
firio Diaz, his uncle.
Killed by Seventh Wife.
Mrs. Sarah Sloan shot and killed her
divorced husband at an isolated point
on Blackberry creek, Ky. near Mate-
wan. After the shooting Mrs. Sloan
went to Willlamstown, W. Va., where
she was arrested. Mrs. Sloan, it is
sald, was the seventh wife of Jud
Sloan, and the man’s eighth wife wit
nessed the shooting.
Judge Lenient to Counterfeiter In the
Schmidt Case.
“Dr.” Ernest Muret, the friend of
“Father’ Hans Schmidt, was sentenced
in New York to seven and a half years’
imprisoiment in the federal peniten:
Sar at Atlanta, Ga., for counterfeit
Muret appealed to Judge Hunt tc
suspend sentence, saying that he want
ed to go back to his home in Gedmany
anw spend the balance of his life with
his mother.
Judge Hunt could have imposed s
sentence of thirty years, but as the

ested in the Sunday meetings the Johnstown Dem-
ocral has arranged to give complete and accurate |
reports of the campaign, including the Rev. Mr, | i;
Sunday's sermons in full. To those who wish to |
keep in touch with this big religious event the |
publishers of the Democrat offer to send the pa- |
per from now until New Year's day for 50 cents.
Because of the fact that the Democrat is a morn.
ing newspaper it will have the news of the cam-
paign in Johnstown ahead of all other papers.
Moreover, the Democrat is the only Johnstown |
paper which reaches the country districts on the
day of publication.
In addition to the “Billy” Sunday news, the |
Democrat contains many other interesting fea-
tures, including the famous Mutt and Jeff car-
toons. Mel James’ humorous column, “On the | and
