official denials would be forthcoming
as long as there was a chance of fur

the. absence Of official information,
and formal denial at the Mexican
Embassy here early today did not af-
feet the general belief that the rumor
might have some foundation.
DR.. Vasquez Gomez. head of the
revolutionary organization here, re-
ceived messages yesterday confirming g
the report that Diaz was on his death
bed. The revolutionists declare that
Ddtx has been near the end during
the last week.
At the Mexican Embassy it was as

The Embassy did not attempt to ex-

The fact that President Taft ad-

that Taft had evidence that Diaz was
alive. He addressed Diaz merely as

The rufnor Of Diaz' death has spread

was received here an Monday evening

If Dfaz is dead or should die, the
United States will be compelled either

Therefore, in

as the nomination of LaFollette
would compel the nomination of
Harmon in place of Wilson.
Why?
Obviously but one theme of in

Who is the real Antithesis of
Taft? Bryan? Yes, as in 1908.
But Bryan's races have been run
Gaynor? Yes. but Gaynor is dis
qualified by Fate. Folk? Yes,
but Folk clearly is outclassed.
Champ Clark? theoretically, per-
haps, but practically only as a
pretty compliment. Dix? The
carrier of water upon both Shout
ders? The upholder of party
fealty, on the one hand, and the
source of pretexts to boilers on
the other? Neither opposite nor
opposite is Dix. Remain Harmon
and Wilson. Which, we repeat,
is the Antithesis of Taft? I'm

Mr.. Simmons must be just itching

United States Senate. He is not at
all careful about how he votes on the
great questions that are coming up
for settlement. lie seems to have
forgotten that in North Carolina the
people are 10 control, and not the
special interests, and that North Caro-
lima wants her representatives in
Congress to vote for the interests Of
the people, and not for the special
interests. Yet the senior Senator
from North Carolina is lining up
with the people that North Carroll
mans believe have been robbing the
country and voting against what
North Carolinians believe TO be right.
