It was reported recently that the Mxican Government had given Charge O'Shaughnessy his passport and told him to leave Mexico, but this was denied from all quarters.

Tlie correspondents have cabled that the Mexican Government has stated that its note to Lind demands that the t'nited States recognize the Huerta Government before 12 o’clock midnight today or a statement practically to tiiat effect. "I brought the matter to the urgent attention of tile Minister of Foreign Affairs at Bl p. m. He immediately saw the President and the Minister of Gobernacion, Senor 1 rrutia, who is supposed to have given out tlie statement and he authorized nte to deny this statement to my Government as having no foundation in fact."

Ind , Aug. 23—iSpee-; ml to Daily Democrat, Witli three! ! candidates for the mayoralty nomina-l i tion and many entries for almost ev ! ery other office, today's primaries to; name a citizen’s ticket was a hot I scramble, it sei ms likely that as a result of the fierce struggle for place the primaries will split tlie party de 1 vised to heal tlie repulriican-progres-pive breach. This design it failed to accomplish when separate republican and bull moose tickets were named , but the citizen's movement was ear i ried through in hopes that today's. ; primaries would result in uniting! enough non-partisans and partisans in tn independent movement to rescue; the city government from national jiolitics. John A. Swygart, Fred W. Keller j and Dixon W. Place are the mayoral ty candidates. Keller, one of tlie in auguratora of the movement, was an | out and out bull moose last Fall. Swy . gart had tendencies in the same direc-1 tion. Place has Icon a Democrat. Keller Is not acceptable to stand pat republicans because lie espoused tlie progressive "heresy.'' Those stand patters control the new citizen's move meat. Swygart, bearing the same taint as Keller, and. Place being a j democrat, neither nrouses enthusiasm 1 in tlie qi.inter of Keller s unpopular! ! 'ty. Three young lawyers are making the race for tlie city judgeship. I.eon Oare, Joseph Callahan and Herbert Warner. In the contest, for city dork I’esary Lawinski and Alex Angel, both lesideilts of tlie foreign section of the city, are leading. On tile councilman ic ticket there was only one contest. Miss Jessie Siinison ol Berne, who i hat been the guest of Miss Ruby Miller, returned hometoday.
