His stay yester day in Spokane convinced him that the Progressive party in that, part of the state is going to make n clean sweep.

You women here in Washington I’avt the right to vote," he said, turn ing to the women delegatee at. the con vention. “If the women fail to exer- ■ i-e the ballot privilege, they show that, they do not regard the suffrage as of practical value. It is not enough to light for the -ight to vote. You must go io the polls and fight for the princi tr's of government.” Tmr colonel felt impelled to give this .'l l', ice because of the apathy shown in rimy parts of Washington by women who failed to register. He urged that a complete registration be got out. "so we may smash the bosses." Maine Swings Back To G. O. P. Fold PORTLAND. .MAINE Sept.

DANGER OF INTERVENTION IS MATERIALLY LESSENED Dividing of Belligerents Will Enable Government to Make Headway Against Them. EL PASO. TEXAS, Sept. 10.—Con’- sid.era.ble relief was felt along the Mex ican border today when it became known that a mutiny had broken out in the army of General Orozco, the rebel leader. Hundreds have deserted and during the past 24 hours a large number have flocked into El Paso. Indications are that if the desertions continue Orozco will be without an army and will have to surrender or flee. Such an outcome would help the Federal government immensely and probably avert the danger of United States intervention, as President Ma dero would be able to divide the army pursuing Orozco and send smaller de tachments after the isolated bands menacing Americans, j The desertions from Orozco are not confined to privates, but include some of his trusted lieutenants. Among these are Santiago Mestas, former mayor, and Alvino Tejo. former chief of police of Juarez under the rebel government.
