This made clear for the first time
the relations between Carranza and
Villa. - It was Mid -ofllcially that
Villas forceful taking over . of tht
Carranza , offices . at Jaurez .' was ' a
step in a general plan to oust all
Carranza elements in the , territory

Carranza 's orders. Villa is known to
have told his chief that he will take
the central strip of country leading
to Mexico City while Carranza 's .oth
er divisional commanders can take
the east and west coasts.' According
to this arrangement there would be
two distinct governments, both mili
tary and cml, in the Northernpart
ofMexieoheld - by the Constitutionalists.;'-One
would be Villa's "strip.
where not only his. military leaders
but bis own appointed civil officials
would hold office. - The other would

that Gen, Alvaro Obrfigon, comman

A. D. Watts, of Statesville, gave out
the following statement tonight: L
"Mr. Parker R. -. Anderson, ' the
Washington correspondent of The
Greensboro Daily News, has in to
day 'a issue of that paper, what pur
ports to be an interview with me.
- "I have given Mr. Anderson no in
terview.; Yesterday -'he came -. into
Senator Overman's office while I was
there talking with the Senator, and
soon introduced the subject of the
action of the" State Convention as to
primaries, stating" that the conven
tion had, made a mistake, as there
was an overwhelming sentiment in
the State in favor of prmaries for
all officers, All I said about the
matter was in effect that I did not
think there was an overwhelming
sentiment in favor of primaries; that
few, ir any, county Conventions ha-1
passed resolutions asking for primaries,-
while, one, and. probably
more, " county " conventions ; adopted
resolutions against primaries.
"I added that I was satisfied the
Legislature ' would pass a primary
bill, including all officers, county as
well aa State and district, but . that
it would contain a provision exempt
ing such counties as desired to bej
exempted so tajr as tne county ana
leirislat've : officers "; were concerned.
And that practicallv' all the- Demo
cratic counties, in the State would be
included. - "'. "' ' -
