PROGRESSIVES TURN TO LEGISLATIVE JOBS Ancil Dwiggins Urged to Make Race For State Senator.

MENTION HOELSCHER Friends Urge Young Richmond Attorney to Run For Representative. Among the members of the Wayne county delegation to the state Progressive meeting at Indianapolis yesterday, county politics was a fruitful topic of conversation and several booms for nominations on the Progressive ticket were launched. There was one for Ancil Dwiggins. of Fountain City for the nomination as state senator. Gus Hoelscher, a local attorney, was favorably mentioned for the nomination as representative from Wayne county, while Ed Paul, a well known Cambridge City business man, was spoken of as candidate for joint. ' representative from Wayne and Fayette counties. At the last election a Fayette county Progressive made the race for joint representative but was defeated by a Fayette county Democrat, it is now Wayne county"s turn to fill this office with one of its citizens and Mr. Paul is regarded as an ideal candidate, for he is well and favorably known both in Wayne and Fayette counties and lives near enough to Fayette county to have its interests as close to heart as those of his own county. Hoelscher Popular. Mr. Judkins, it is understood, will not be a candidate again for re-nomi-r.at'on as county representative. Mr. Hoelscher, it is believed, would make a good candidate in Judkins' place. It was authoritatively announced today that Will Lewis, of Williameburg, has informed friends that he will be imuun as commissioner irum iiie miudie district. Mr. Lewis is one of the , county's most . substantial business : men and is president of the Williams-, burg bank. He is a very popular man and his candidacy has the added advantage that he resides in the northern section of the middle district. In recent years nearly all the commissioner! from the middle district have been residents of the south half of the district. T. F. Swain has announced his candidacy for the Progressive nomina-, tion for countv assessor. I There are three candidates for the j nomination l-s assessor of Wayne township James Howarth, iresent trustee of the township; David A. Dennis and Frank Demaree. j A list of candidates, real and pros- j pective, for the Progressive nomina- j . : I ! . .1 , lion ot other county oftices was published recently.

I Barbarities of Constitutional

ists Shake Wilson's Faith in Their Ability to Establish Stable GovernmentHale Proceeds to Washington Mexican Congress Prepares to Sell Concessions to Belgian Syndicate. PASO, Texas, Nov. 26. Desul tory fighting between scattered bands Qf federal soldiers and pursuing contit ti t j , on south of Juarez today. While the main Huerta army is retreating into a trap set by General Villa, the rebel commander, insurgent forces are coming up from Chihuahua under the leadership of Gen. Manuel Chao and the rebel leaders in Juarez predict that the federals would be wiped out between the two armies. Gen. Villa and Col. Juan Medina sent word to the Con - stitutionalist junta here that the fed-! erals had been completely routed, The dead, on both sides are estimated at from six hundred to one thousand five hundred. Juarez and the small towns south of that city are full of wounded. All but two of the federal officers captured are reported to have been executed at Villa's express orders together with a number of privates. "On to Mexico City" is the cry now of the constitutionalist. Rebels Need Ammunition. A shortage of ammunition may halt the advance of the rebel army, although they captured several government supply trains north of Sanialyuca carrying heavy consignments of munitions. ' General Villa has established headquarters thirty-two miles south of this city on the National railway. Villa has sent out several appeals fof red cross nurses to care for the wounded rebels. The hospitals, hotels and public buildings in Juarez are filled with wounded. Many were carried across the Rio Grande to points near El Paso. HALE RETURNS HOME. Reported Barbarities of Rebels Shake Wilson's Faith in Party. WASHINGTON Nov. 26. The reported victories of the Constitutionalists south and ea6t of Jaurez have distracted the attention cf official Washington from the situation in Mexico City for the time being. Details of the battle revealing barbarities and cruelties on both sides are expected to shake further President Wilson's faith j in the ability of the Carranza faction 1 to establish or maintain constitutional government. ! Despite the important developments I in northern Mexico. William Bayard i Hale is now enroute to Washington and there is no indication that there will be any further negotiations with General Carranza. News that the Mexican congress has started the granting of concessions was received here with interest. A railway project to be financed by a Belgian syndicate was the first concession granted. It is probable the United States will take some diplomatic steps to warn the Belgians that this concession will not be valid if the Huerta government is overthrown.

Dr. Hurty has been catling upon publicity to aid him in bis tight. Newspapers throughout the state, even those which at one time poked fun at this champion of the masses, are rallying to his assistance now and there is a well organized movement on to secure better health conditions j for which Dr. Hurty has been clamir- , ing. j "Inroads are being made in popular j ignorance and prejudice and in this j work the press ia playing a splendid I nart." said Dr. nurty. "This means that thousands of lives and millions ot dollars will be saved In Indiana." It is expected that a great crowd will hear Dr. Hurty's address tonight. He resided in Richmond at one time, when his father was superintendent of the public schools.
