WILL Be NO UPRISING
IN MEXICO
DIAZ WILL BE SUPPORTED AND
NO REVOLUTION WILL
OCCUR.

Washington. Aug. 22-"There has
never been any fear of a revolution
in Mexico" declares Senior Mariscal,
the Mexican minister of foreign az
fairs, in a dispatch received at the
Mexican embassy this afternoon. The
Mexican ambassador. Senior de La
Barra. as he handed the dispatch t.
the Associated Press, said that he felt
this ought to dispose of the rumors in
dicating the probability of an upris
ing in Mexico as a result of the ap-
preaching presidential campaign. The
ambassador declared that the who'll
country will sustain the candidacy of
Diaz for the presidency. and that the
patriotism of the people will nos
brook any interruption to the era Of
progress.
Senior de La Barra said Diaz would
be supported because OF his honest,
patriotic and wise administration,
which had gained for him the respect
of the people, both at home and
abroad. The political agitation over
the vice presidency would not, by any
means, produce any disturbance.
Reports that the conflict: appearing
at Guadalajara and other places We're
symptoms of revolution, said the
ambassador, are without foundation.
The course of business had not been
interrupted, and with a country like
Mexico, which worked and prospered,
normal conditions had not been dis
turbed. The ambassador called atten-
ton to the business of the Tehaunte-
pee and Mexican National railroads a
showing the prosperous condition of
the country. The terminal ports of
the former. he said, already are in
adequate to handle the intercontinental
traffic in that section, termed by
Baron Humboldt. The bridge of the
world" necessitating enlarged and i'm
proved facilities. The business of the
Mexican National. he said, had in
creased so that its earnings during the
last six months had more than dou-
bled.

WHO ELEcrED HAYss
8. o. Graham Of This County
Claims The Credit, Though
Il Was Somewhat In
direct.

The Nation Gil. )Star contains
the following account. Many will
remember Mr.. Graham in "Green-
back" politics in this county 20
or 25 years ago he is yet with us,
still very much alive:
Although he had not seen his
brother for nearly thirty-two
years, VIM. A. Graham, a well
known resident of Humboldt town.
ship Immediately recognized the
voice Of s. o. Graham. Tuesday
morning when the latter called
for him over the long distance
telephone. s. o. Graham, now
past seventy years Of age, left
this city in the fall of 1877, and
located in Middletown, Mo. Not
until yesterday did he find OPP
portunity to visit his old home.
Planning to surprise his rela-
tives he came unannounced, but
he was the party surprised when
he learned that even after an alb
sence Of thirty years his voice was
easily recognized. Mr.. Graham
relates many interesting stories of
this county as it was a good many
years ago and incidentally he
claims credit for the election Of
President Rutherford b. Hays.
At the time a leader in local
politics, Mr. Graham nominated
Malvin Jones for state senator.
Jones was elected and was one of
the Independents who voted for
Senator Davis. In electing Davis
it was necessary to take him from
the supreme bench, Justice Brad
ley took his place. Bradley later
east the vote that elected Hays.
Although somewhat indirect and
a long ways around, Graham
argues that to him the credit is
due.
