again return 10 the White House as
! President of the United States If the great
mass Of the people had their say and
were not thwarted by the politicians
Roosevelt, without any doubt whatever,
/ Is one Of the greatest Americans in our

/ fine type OF American manhood. independ-
ent, patriotic. sincere. and honest He was
no mans man, and, although having his
numerous shortcomings. he always had

OF years.
! Speaking OF the treatment OF foreigners.
and especially Americans, in Mexico on
/ the part Of the authorities, Mr.. Mueller
was full Of praise OF the Mex!cans IN that
respect, and said that they accorded fair
play and full justice 70 foreigners visit
ling in Mexico and made every induce
ment to foreign capital 70 settle in their
country.
II have lived q number Of years IN
/ Mexico and am thoroughly familiar with
that country. its officials, and laws, and
can only say that Americans and other
foreign settlers and residents cannot COM
plain about the treatment accorded them
by the government Of Mexico. Prompt
action and attention 10 matters in which
foreigners are interested and absolute
justice and fair play comprise the att
tude OF the Mexican government. There
Is no country which offers a safer oppor-
tunity for investments than Mexico, and
there is hardly another country which
offers such great possibilities for exploit
tation than Mexico.
/ If Mexico is prosperous and civilized
today and occupies a place In the front
rank among the nations. II is entirely due
20 the great work which President Diaz
has accomplished for his country. II It
is said that he has acted like a tyrant.
then he done so because the ultimate re-
suit was beneficial for his country and
the Mexican people. He has invited for
eign capital. and, seeing that their invest
ments were safe and would return hand
some profits. it responded literally. BY
securing foreign capital President Diaz
naturally pledged the country 10 a gov
| eTnment Of peace and progress. The rapid
| strides which Mexico has taken 10 the
/ forefront during Diaz's administration is
entirely due TO him.
! while some politicians may not al
ways agree with him, perhaps, in some OF
his policies, yet they cheerfulIy and most
respectfully admit that his wisdom has
guided most successfully the ship OF state
! into a harbor of national peace, industry,
and development. and that at the present
| time there has appeared no candidate on
the political horizon capable Of taking his
/ place. Although in his eightieth year.
! President Disz Is strong and vigorous,
! erect in carriage, and possessing a man

gence that searches into the deep recesses
OF his visitors mind and soul; a man
! who. IL he knows YOU 20 be true. will let
you know him: a gentleman scholar,
| statesman, and soldier, who never fOrgets
friend nor loses track Of an enemy a
veritable man Of the hour. whose name
will go down into generations TO come as
the man who has done more for the tenn
/ poral betterment Of this people than any
name in the history Of Mexico"
