PLAN FOR ATTACK
TO BEAT WILSON
It is Not Thought That Americans
Are Implicated in the Scheme
Under Way.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 27. Mexi
can bandits are planning: an attack
upon the American border or upon the
American troops in Mexico, Secretary
of War Baker has declared.
it is charged that the attack as pro
mulgated by a Mexican, not an Amer
ican, is an effort to swing; public
ser.timent against the present admin
istration's Mexican policies. The in
formation gained indicates that the
attack is planned to take place at
some time before election.
With the plans of the bandits
known to both the American and Car
ranr.a military leaders and all in read
iness for the attack, it is thought that
the contemplated attack will be dis
couraged. Americans Not Implicated.
It is not thought that Americans
are implicated in the scheme.
Secretary Baker announced today
that he may have another statement
to make later on this charge.
Administration officials indicated
ihe considered Bakers statement a
warning to the Mexican government's
gtd faith. The administration ex
pects the Carranza government to take
tinal and effective measures for the
suppression of Mexican banditry.
Secretary Baker returned today
from Martinsburg. W. Va., where he
spoke last night.
Belief of Officials.
The belief of other administration
leaders as well as Baker's own was
expressed in the startling statement
of last night. The administration, by
rnaking public its knowledge of a dan
ger threatening the relations between
this government and the Carranza
government, expects Carranza to fully
realize this government's unselfish
purpose and, in consequence, hopes for
more active co-operation between the
military forces of the two countries
for common action against the Mexi
can bandits.
Should the Carranza government
ignore the opportunity presented and
fail to bring about a better condition
in Mexico, the American government
vnil consider independent action to
ward that end.
Important Effect.
Baker's statement is expected to
have an important effect in checking
the reported conspiracy on the Amer
ican side of the border. While no
dtr'.nite statement could be obtained
today the impression was given that
these conspirators are Mexican scien
titicos of the Diaz regime and their
agents, who have headquarters in sev
eral large eastern cities and in bor
der towns.
The financing of the -Villistas and
ther bandits is being done by leaders
in the east, through agents along the
border in Mexico. Attention was first
called to the possibility of the plot by
tho paying of the bandits in silver,
which is scarce in Mexico, even the
government lacking it.
Working on Reports.
The war department has been work
ing on reports received from the in
terior of Mexico bi army officers,
agents of state and justice depart
nients, and the secret service. Tho
source of supply of the silver was
traced to the American side of the
border, it is now said.
Officials declare Baker's character
ization, "enemies of the administra
tion's policy toward Mexico," does
jiot implicate Americans of any prom
inence.
Whether any American capital was
involved in the plot, no direct answer
could be obtained. Neither would of
ficials say what offensive steps had
or would be taken toward checking
or apprehending the alleged conspira
tors in the United States. The same
government agents who have been
working on the plot are understood,
however, to be actively engaged in
running down the members.

SENATOR JOHN MATTES
IS OUT CAMPAIGNING
From Saturday's Dally.
Senator John Mates, who is per
haps the most popular senator this
district has ever had, was in town
Monday calling on his many friends.
Mr. Mattes is making no extensive
campaign this year, being content to
rest his case upon his past record. A
legislator who has ever stood and
worked for constructive legislation,
he can present his record to his con
stituents fearlessly, and ask them to
approve or condemn as they choose.
He has nothing to hide, nothing to
explain he wants your support on the
strength of what he has shown him
self capable and willing to do as the
senatorial representative of this dis
trict. There is no doubt as to his
honesty of purpose and no question as
to his ability, and more than that it
would be hard to find in any candidate
and that he has the courage of his
convictions in all things is shown in
his past record as legislator. No
voter will make a mistake in casting
his ballot for Senator Mattes. Tal

THOSE ELIGIBLE
TO VOTE AT THE
COMING ELECTION
Any Foreign-Born Citizen, Who Has
Taken Out First Papers and In
State Six Months.
From Saturdays Dally.
Under theconstitution of Nebraska,
any person born in a foreign country
who has at any time in the past taken
out his first naturalization papers, and
who has resided in Nebraska for six
months, will be entitled to vote at the
coming election. The fact that he has
permitted seven years' time to lapse
without completing his naturalization,
thereby making it necessary to renew
his first papers in order to become a
citizen of the United States, is not a
bar to his voting in Nebraska.
These facts have been stated to
Chairman Thompson of the Nebraska
Dry Federation in an official opinion
by Attorney General Reed. Mr.
Thompson requested the attorney gen
eral for an interpretation cf the state
constitutional provision, which reads
as follows:
"Every male person of the age of
twenty-one years or upwards belong
ing to either of the following clases,
who shall have resided in the state
six months, and in the county, pre
cinct, or ward for the term provided
by law shall be an elector.
"First Citizens of the United
States.
"Second Persons of foreign birth
who shall have declared their inten
tion to become citizens conformably to
the laws of the United States, on the
subject of naturalization, at least
thirty days prior to an election."
The Dry Federation chairman in
quired whether an alien, whose rights
of citizenship had become dormant or
void by failure to complete naturaliza
tion in seven years could still qualify
as a voter in Nebraska. Attorney
General Reed thinks that under the
second clause of the constitutional
section above quoted there is no ques
tion as to the right of such foreign
born residents to vote, inasmuch as
that clause applies particularly to per
sons who are not citizens of the
United States.
Nebraska is one of the few states of
the union, which permits persons who
are not fully naturalized citizens to
vote.
