\ copy Of the Daily Record of Mex
leo city an American newspaper pub.
lishcd In that foreign country of the
issue of Thursday January rs, has
been received 10y Tho News from the
editor of the Record. A column story
ON the front page tells how two Ne.
braskans Secretary of state A. Ga
lusha of Lincoln and w, N. lIusc of
Norfolk gave to Mexico the news
that Mr. Thompson would without
doubt be appointed as ambassador to-
that country from the United states.
Their prediction TO Mexico has been
fulfilled within the past few days
As the paper has arrived here ahead
of MIR. Husc and ms the latter is not in
town TO head It Off, the contents of the
article in the Mexican paper are re-.
printed below:
Among the most prominent mem
bers of the Stillwell party. In the city
are A. Gausha of Lincoln, Nebraska.
secretary of state; w. n. Ilusc of Nor
folk, Nebraska, editor of the Norfolk
Daily News and one of the most prom
incnt newspaper men in the west, and
+. NJ. BonobraEo of Topeka, Kansas,
cashier of the First National bank
Mr.. Galusha and Mr.. IIuso are per
sonal friends of David Il. Thompson,
whose appointment MS ambassador to
Mexico has presumably been held up
for some reason by the senate and up
to date has not been confirmed In an
interview this morning, Mr. Galusha,
who is in position to know, throws
considerable light on the personality
of the new ambassador and his ap.
pointmont.
81 think" said MIR Galusha, chat
the people of Mexico ana the press
have been mistaken about the appoint.
ment of Mr., Thompson being sent to
the senate and that body has failed to
confirm It. 1t has never been sent to
the senate at all When It is you may
rest assured that 1t will be confirmed
without any hcstaucy Mr. Thomp
son is n warm personal friend of Pres
ident Roosevelt and there Is not sin
gle objection the senate could advance
against such an appointment. There
is no doubt that Mr.. Thompson will he
the next ambassador to Mexico and
when he comes YOU will see u man
who is the peer of any American ever
Gpnt bprn hN tbn I1nit,l Gtotny II, 1,
u diplomat and natural born leader
of men. He has dignity without d
flourish and is business man rather
than n social leader. Any man who
can attend to his own affairs as sue
cessfully as Mr., Thompson has done
can certainly succeed in the important
post that will be assigned to him
Americans affairs will never drift
while MIR. Thompson Is at the mast
head, for his hand Is firm for Amoricy
and Americans They can so to tn,
new ambassador and get an audience
He has no ambitions socially an,
believes that the government send,
representatives abroad to be useful L
their countrymeu in a foreign land
rather than for social displays whicl
have caused so much complaint
among Americans here.
MIR, Thompson is Il man of grca
will and broad principles, but neithe
wealth nor position has marred tn
finest scnsbiities of the distinguishe
Nebraskan, Not long ago he gathere
up all the poor people in Omaha an
gave them special train outing an
dinner at his own expense, glad to &c
the opportunity and didn't want
mentioned, Honor and fellow. feelin
have made him the idol of his stat
and his absence would be public los
to Nebraska"
Mr.. Huse corrohorated all that ha
been said by Mr., Galusha, and d,
clared that better combination c
heart and brains could not be found 1
the length and breadth of the Unite
States than David Thompson. and tina
Americans in Mexico would be favore
by such an appointment HE will b
the ambassador" said Mr.. Huse. IAN
when his appointment is sent to tn
senate Nebraska will give you ma
who will give you an idea of what
real ambassador is like"
From the above, it is to be presume
that Mr., Thompson is likely to be al
pointed yet. If his friends have nc
overestimated him, Mexico will get
man made of the right sort of stu
who will bind the republics togethe
with bands of steel and an allianc
that the world will envy. If the NJ
braska gentlemen have measured tn
loyalty, the honor and capacity c
David f. Thompson accurately it is t
be hoped that no time will be lost i
his appointment and confirmation.
