WNDItORQ. Kan., April 19. Governor John A. Johnson nf Minnesota waa the guest Saturday afternoon and night of Bethany college. In the afternoon he was master of ceremonies at the college track meet, and last evening ha delivered a speech to a large crowd assembled In the college auditorium. He was enthusiasti cally received. , "Today." he said, "there are those who for the purpoee of expedlfncy favor a new federalism In order that the cdiintry make a more prominent place among the nations of the world. I say that If we stick to the traditions of 177S the world will respect this nation. When we took the Hawaiian and riilllpplne Islands we were told that those people were not fit for self-givern-ment. Thst has been the cry for years and years, not because H is true, but be cause those who are In power want more power. I do not speak of any officer or any particular person, but we have appar ently come to a time when the constitution Is not good enough. The Immortal Washing ton, In referring to the constitution, said that It could be changed from time to time if the people wished It, hut I say that so long as It is not changed b' the people It should be observed as It stands. Within the last six months a United States mar aha! laid violent hands upon the attorney general of my state and said that ho must go into his court for doing that which the legislature had commanded him to do? and the federal court approved the marshal's action. ,1 saj( that such a proceeding 1 not right, it 1 a reflection of the policy of the centralization of power that takes from you and me our state's rights." In an Interview Governor Johnson said: "What Mr. Bryan says or does will make no difference and cause no change in my1 plana. I am not seeking the nomination for president and I might say I don't care whether or 'not I get It. As I have often reiterated, I will b? a candidate in cane tho people decide 'that I am the most available candidate and can get the most votes. "I have been told by some of Mr. Bryan's friends that 1 would be a stronger candi date than he. I am Inclined to dOubt that."' In addition to delivering en address Gov ernor Johnson was In charge of the Beth any college field meet this afternoon. This feature was arranged by personal friends of the governor among the student as a surprise for tho faculty. DE SAGAN DECLINES TO TALK Actions on Shipboard Belle Report that lie Wa a Married Man. PARIS. April 1.-Prince Helle de Sagan, who arrived at Cherbourg and disembarked early thla mornlng from the steamship St. Paul, essayed to resume the secrecy with which he unsuccessfully sought to carry out his visit to the United States. Instead of -coming direct toi Paris he left the steamer tfaln at Everux, about sixty-five mile from the city, after having requested hi fellow passenger not to mention his plan. At Evereux he .resumed hla Journey to Pari by automobfle.. The prince declined to grant an Interricw to the newspaper men, who finally discov ered him, and refused to answer questions relative to the statement published by the Crl de Paris that he and Madame Anna Gould already were married. The passengers on the 1 steamer, with whom the prince freely Intermingled during the voyage, say that he told them that he regretted he could not entertain them in Paris, as he expected soon to leave that city, going probably to Italy. Some of the passenger added that the prince did not act like a married or engaged man, being evoted to a young English girl throughout the voyage. I ' The French newspapers generally. Ignore the De Sagan-Gould affair, except where they ridicule the prince on account of his reported Interviews and his conduct in the Ifnlted States, and express the hope that "the International farce" will soon be ended. . , 6PI.IT 1JT ARIZONA CONVEtfTIO!

ASKED TO AVOID COMPLICATIONS Considered Better to Press Simple Measare Over Which There I No Party Strife Than ta Fall a Last Tear. WASHINGTON. April 19. Congress is urged to action on legislation requiring the publicity of campaign funds in a petition which will be presented to the senate to morrow by Senator Culberson of Texas and to the house of representatives' by Representative McCall of Massachusetts. The petition is signvd by I committee of the national publicity organisation and Is dceoinparHcd by letters from numerous members of the organization. The action was decided upon at a meeting held Thurs day at the residence of Perry Belmont, the president of the organisation. The peti tion reads: The notional publicity bill organization respectfully urges congress to enact at tin present session a suitable law for the pub licity, both before and after election, of campaign contributions made to national committers to be used In Influencing the approaching election of November 3, lifDt. Tho orgtintxatlon Is constrained to make this aprx'nl at this time without urging con gressional legislation requiring punllclty contributions made to state committees or other committees operating only in . :ne state. The association has limited the scope ot Its efforts to scouring publicity of con tributions made to national committee and congressional committees formed to In fluence , In more than one state elections where member of the national house of representatives are to be chosen, Rnd to promote by all appropriate means state ileRlslaUon designed to accomplish In every state the sunie purpose of publicity. It is thought that the wisest method of preventing election corruption through money contribution would not tie through national laws alone, nor through state laws alone, but through both methods, each co operating and not conflicting with the other and both making the best and most effec tive system. Doubt of Authority. " This would secure harmonious co-operation of both the national and state legis latures, and would avoid any discussion of troublesome constitutional questions. There cannot lie any doubt of the power of con gress ta do; what we propose, nor any Uouht about the power ot the state to pro xlde the additional regulations desired. An act of congress carefully , farmed might prove to bo a model law for the state to allow. Moreover it seem to this organisation that at this late day in the present session it .will be Impossible to accomplish the passage by congress ot anything more than a publicity law applicable to national com mittees and congressional committees oper ating jn more tnan one state. The differ ences In the last congress between those who sought to do this and those who sought to do morf proved fatal to any legislation whatever. It Is to aid in preventing another m-h fatality that the association makes it present earnest appeal. The National, publicity Bill organisation ia non-partisan and hope that the effort to secure the beneficial laws so much needed will not become ln'--)'vcrt In th con troversies of 1 o Itlcal parties. But it Is Im possible to overlook; th Ittn thai the pu ent minority partv will Impose upon the majority party the weishty responsibility for tti failure of any legislation, if each failure shall ensue. To avoid such' a de plorable, political issue,' should not the members of both parties unite In postponing all propositions on which there may be a sincere dlvlidon of sentiment and In pass ing through congress without further delay a hill upon which all cordially agree. Accompanying this petition are . letters from members of the Publicity organization showing that their views are in accord with those herein stated.

It ha been decided If It Is deemed necessary, lso to pcculpy a small Island pff that coast, but It is hoped here that Turkey may see the error of Us way and give full "satisfaction, ni that more energetic measures may be avoided. - The difficulty between the two nation arises out of the refusal of the Turkish government to permit the Installation of Italian postofflces In Turkish territory, while at tho same time other nation have established and are 'conducting postofflces there without interference. Considerable IrrltatVori ha been felt here over th murder of an Italian missionary In Tripoli and the peroutlon by the Otto man authorities of natives who hav old land to Italians, but the present action of the Itullan government I based primarily on the poatofflco. question. With regard to this, however, the Turkish ambassador In Rome has pointed out In an Interview that his governmenfhas In no Instance granted to the countries in question such a privilege, although It has "tolerated" th postofflces which they hav maintained. !

To this provocation the Italian adminis tration felt that it could only reply with coerslve measures in order to protect the dignity of Italy and safeguard Its right. In Issuing order for a demonstration of Italian warships In Turkish waters, Italy desired clearly to show that It did hot wish to take advantage of th situation for the purpose of occupying any territory.
