Among yesterdays late arrivals a. the
Hotel Utah was Marion L. Thomas OF
Mexico City. who is recognized as one
OF the leading Americans in business ano
social affairs III the capital OF the McXi-
can republic. Mr. Thomas has for a
number Of years been engaged In mining
and although reluctant 10 talk about his
achievements is known 10 stand well
al the top OF the list of those who have
demonstrated The great possibilities oil
The industry in the neighboring repub-
lie.
When seen last night Mr.. Thomas said
that although lie was making r short tour
or The western states for pleasure and
recreation purposes, he had come TO
this city TO attend To matters relating, to
his business. He declared that q good
many people in the west have fostered
the impression that the recent periurba
tion in Mexico had upset commerce, trade
and industry in that country to such an
extent that the financial market had been
as good as DESTROYED and the progress OF
the country greatly retarded. The i'm
preston. he asserted. was false. as de-
velopment possibilities and business never
before held more promise
Peace and Quiet Restored.
Mr.. Thomas, in speaking of conditions
in Mexico. declared that although in some
parts of the country there were numerous
bands OF outlaws or bandits, styled by
many as "reyoIutionists." the nation in
general had resumed peace and quiet,
with increasing business flowing through
regular channels. He commended the
new government and asserted that it
would eventually prove Of inestmable
benefit To the people, who were support
ing II generally with enthusiasm.
Since the provisional government was
set up said Mr. Thomas. "the new
methods il proposes to follow have been
that they arc at last coming into their
own. entering the portals of a new era
Of democracy In the nation. they love.
President de la Barra is we'll liked
official position. However. when the cleo
lion takes place in the fall II is un-
derstood that there will be but one cam
didate of Importance in the field. Ma
dero Is the man. and II present sentiment
predicts anything at all. he will be the
next president OF Mexico
Madero for President.
THE Madcro family is prominent. both
in business and the public eye. Ernesto
Madero is leading figure In the cab
!net and Hernandez Madero is most pop
nar as minister OF justice. This man is
taking an active part in the formation of
a society that VIII be recognized by the
people and which will pass upon all court
decisions 10 see that Justice is admin
istered fairly and sQuarcly OH all sides
in all ca ses.
One OF the mos, important changes
under the new regime is that of select
ing office holders by general elections
a great part OF the discomfort under the
DiaS rule was due TO The fact that so
many Of the offices were appointive, the
discretion being given TO the old presi-
dent. In the future. all Judges through
out the country will be elected to serve
by the popular vote of the people In the
respective communities and | am sure
justice will be dealt out
Peace and quiet have been resumed.
The people are quite satisfied, and | am
firmly. convinced by what l have OBJ
served that the newborn nation will
prosper greatly under the change in gov
ernment."
