gates have arrived from Valdes and
three from Fairbanks. One from
Haines has also come and two delega
tions from Juneau and Douglas arriv
ed today. Some from the south ire
also present and ready to take part.
The Fairbanks delegates are unin
structed and have 40 proxies with
which they have been entrusted with-1
out question as there seems to he no
fear whatever that the convention
will not be thoroughly harmonious
eve n though a light should take place
on the question of a candidate. What
ever candidate is selected is expected
to have the full support of all the reg
ular democrats. It is something of a
surprise that the delegates from Fair
banks are not instructed for Hums
hut the delegates here positively say
they are uninstructed.

OBREGON STARTS OUT
FOR CITY OF MEXICO
GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Aug. 2.
-General Obregon of the constitu
tionalist army has notified Acting
President Carbajal that he will begin
marching on Mexico City today and
will iisarm all federal troops encoun
tered. He asks that the federal
forces he sent in with their surrender.
General Villa has been invited to
participate in the triumphal entry in
to the capital and the country is now
awaiting his decision with some anx
iety. It is feared that he may break
with Carranza at the last moment and
that Mexico may again be plunged in
to war. Otherwise the prospects for
a lasting peace are fairly good as the
republic is tired of war and the am
nesty granted by Carranza to the
Huerta adherents will probably re
move all bitterness at defeat.

in an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
the spot on the paper which is to receive the type impression is sta
tionary at the instant the type hits. The carriage does rot bob up
and down when the shift is made to write capitals. Why? Because
the type is shifted—not the carriage.
The only movement of the carriage is back and forth on its closely
adjusted ball bearing runaways—and this does not take place while
the piint is being made. There is no lifting of the carriage.
This is one reason why L C. Smith & Bros, typewriting is free from
blur* and every letter in the ri ght place.
