south Americans Taking Hand in
American Politics.

New Orleans, Oct. 10-Printed cir
culars threatening that South Ameri-
can countries will boycott the goods Of
American manufacturers who vote for
President ROosevelt's principles in the
next presidential election have been
received by several New Orleans man
ufacturing firms. The circular which
IS claimed to have been drafted in
Caracas, Venezuela, on September Il,
reads in part:
American manufacturers who vote
the Roosevelt ballot in the next presi-
Dental election will be excluded from
South American trade.
President Roosevelt has said in
some recent speeches. that the Latin
American countries are bound to dis
appear for two reasons:
First because they are Latin and
second, because they are SMALL The
circular then says that the Democratic
party is disposed to fraternize with us
and treat us on an equal basis"
It says that III boycott stations have
already been esta blished but does not
explain what is meant by boycott sta
lions. The organization is claimed to
be on a military basis entirely indie
pendent of South American govern
ments and better organized than the
Chinese boycott. The circulars calls
this organization the Sublime Broth
erhood of Zaques.''
