Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-26

1St than PRESIDENT IaIU, SAID MIS-. lie
Lara last night. "Time and again he
has discussed Socialism with me at
home If he were an anarchist, he
certainly would say something about
it in abe privacy of his own home.
Why should he go out onto the streets
to preach a doctrine which he never
espoused at home, and which in fact,
he has decried many times and in
many places.
"I feel certain that, if Mr.. De Lara
is deported, he will be cast into prison
or will be murdered in some way. He
has bitten told me of his struggles for
his people in Mexico, and in relating
his experiences has always added, that
sooner or later efforts to put him out
of the way would be made by the
Mexican government, because he has
dared oppose Diaz.
Thankful to Friends
'I am glad to know he has so many
friends here, and 1 am doubly glad
to know that those friends have come
to his aid so we'll. 1t will be great
pleasure to welcome him back home
when he is released, although he is
not really a free man yet"
