Regrets that the Rule of Sc

In an interview yesterday. William ].

were routed in the Democratic caucus
Friday by the election of Senator Thomas

or. voiced his disappointment over the
result
Il regard the election OF Mr.. Martin
as minority leader as very unfortunate
for the party" said Mr.. Bryan He is
the Aldrich of the Democratic party in

airy element.
THE line has been dra WI. and We make
much better showing this year than
two Years ago. We have seventeen pro-
gressives now, and they include nearly
AL the new Democratic Senators I'm
less the progressive Democrats are less
earnest than the progressive Republicans
a number of progressive Democrats will
be substituted for Martin men two years
hence
The rule of seniority was invoked in
behalf of Mr.. Martin, but il will not
stand examination. That rule may do
in the army. In representative govern

because the people have not had a recent
opportunity to put him out ought not
to speak with more authority than the

DE ZAMACONA HERE
TO ASSUME DUTIES
New Mexican Ambassador Is
Silent on Politics.

Senior Manuel NJ. de Zamacona, the
new Mexican Ambassador, arrived in
Washington last night to assume his
duties. He reached New York ON the
steamship Caronia yesterday from Eng
land, and came directly to Washington
He was financial agent of the Mexican
government in London. Senior Zamacona
said he was out of touch with Mexican
affairs, because he had been at sea for
more than a week, and declined to dis
cuss public questions. He will call upon
Secretary of State Knox within the next
few days to arrange for the presentation
Of his credentials to President Taft.
Senior Zamacona succeeds Senior Fran
cisco L. de la Barra, who was recently
appointed minister of foreign affairs Of
Mexico.
The new Ambassador is about fifty
yearS of age. He was bern in the City
of Mexico August 30. 1860. He began his
diplomatic career as an attache Of the
Mexican Embassy here in 1880, when his
father was Minister to the United States.
Later he returned to Mexico and became
member Of the railway tariff commits
sion, postmaster general and general
treasurer Of Mexico. He has also served
as member of the Chamber of Deputies

Mexico Forced to Yield.
Mr. Wilson arrived in the City OF
Mexico within three days of the arrival
of Senior Limantour. Within a week of
his return the order went out from Wash
ington recalling all of the American
ships of war from the Mexican coast.
1t was announced officially that this was
being done because Mexico had request
ed it. 1t did not comport with the dignity
of the Mexican government that ships of
another power should be patrolling her
coasts
The withdrawal of the ships was the
only outward sign OF the fact that Mex
leo had complied with the demands OF
the Washington government. The next
and the last move in this very tense
diplomatic game was on President Taft's

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

went over the agents head and
called on the advertiser himself
Instead of offering him sugges-
tons or cooperating with him in
any way, they remarked how
foolish he was to use this one
newspaper, which hadn't a large
circulation, and they so disguised
the advertiser that HE STOP
PED THE CAMPAIGN AL
TOGETHER and diverted to an
other city the $4,000 he had in
tended to spend in newspapers
in the first city.
So the city where he wanted to
gradually develop business killed
him off as an advertiser through
the asinine solicitation of the
newspaper representatives who
did not get the first copy.
Until newspaper representa-
tives are willing to cooperate
with each othcr-until they are
willing to encourage the adver-
tiser, despite the fact that he may
use some other paper than their
own, it is going to be hard to
develop newspaper advertising
on broad lines.
HONORABLE COMPETI-
TION is all right enough, but
the kind of competition that tries
to build by tearing down some
body else is a menace to the de-
velopncnt of business.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1911-04-10

One of the reasons that news
papers do not get all the gen
eral advertising that really be-
longs to them is the jealousy and
knocking" done by newspaper
representatives who do not hap
pen to get the first copy put out
by a new advertiser.
In a big city not long ago a
concern wanted to try out news
paper advertising. They selected
an agent who knew his business,
and after some discussion decided
to use ONE newspaper.
This newspaper was selected
because they wanted to reach the
members of the clubs in that city,
and they knew that this news
paper was read by them.
1t was the managers intention
to spend about $4,000 in this
newspaper, and he had an idea he
would be able to show his asso-
ciates sufficient returns to justify
EXTENDING THE CAM
PAIGN and using some other
newspapers.
The advertising appeared a
few times, and the representatives
of the other newspapers in town
called on the agent to see if they
would get the business.
The agent told them frankly
the advertisers purpose, but this
did not satisfy them, and they
