this year that will not only elect
a governor. but will make posi-
BILE the election of a a Democrat
ic president. Judge O'Rear is
vainly trying to keep national
questions out of the campaign,
but the voters themselves want
them answered, and it will not
do for the Republican leader to
say that he has not had time to
inform himself about reduction
of the tariff, and the adoption of
the farmers free list bill, both
of which measures President
Taft vetoed. The Republicans
are split into fragments in every
State, while the Democrats have
won repeated victories by stand

foundation for success in the ma

Disastrous.

Ottawa, Ont. April 29.-The de-
termination of the Canadian govern

ference My first duty is to Canada"

part of the British empire" said Mr..

so far as reciprocity is concern
ed, our attitude is une OF uncompro-

DOUBTS INTERVIEW.
On the alleged interview with
Vice President Corral he cast some
doubt on Corral's having made the
statement. But" he added, 'T do
know that Esr1sen the revolution was
in a formative stage it was part of
the Diaz-Corral strategy to give the
impression the United States would
intervene in behalf of the Mexican
government. This was to make us
appear unpatriotic.
CHANGES FRONT.
However, the revolution got un-
der way and is winning, yet there
has been no Intervention. The gov
ernment, therefore is now trying to
make 1t appear the revolt does not
owe its spread to the unpopularity
of the administration, but to foreign
elements which they allege have
come to the aid of the uprising"

CONFESSION COMES OUT.
Los Angeles, April 29.-Although
It has been all but certain for two
days-withOut any definite details
being known-that a confession had
been made in the dynahite conspir-
acy case, all doubt taht import.
ant progress along that line had been
made was removed by Ortie z. Nc
Manigal himself yesterday.
He declined to see Attorney Jacob
Hartman. former socialist candidate
for vice president and counsel for
the Mcnamara brothers, the alleged
confederates of McManigal.
District Attorney Fredericks had
said that the prisoner would see none
of the lawyers associated with the de-
fense and McManigal later confirmed
this personally TO Hartman at the
jail.
M'MANIGAL's MOOD CHANGES
Hartman went to the prison ex-
pressly to give McManigal an oppor-
tunity to repeat the declaration the
accused dynamiter made to Attorney
o. y. Hilton that he had not made a
confession and would make none.
Instead, to his questions, the law
yer received replies very different.
These replies caused him to declare
upon emerging from the sheriff's Of
fee that John J. Mcnamara and his
brother James are now the only ones
in whose behalf the defense would
center it's efforts-the only ones
whose lives were to be fought for by
Clarence Darrow, Hartman, Hilton
and other lawyers to be retained by
the various labor organizations.
The case Is assuming more and
more the aspects of the case Of Moy-
er. Haywood and Pettibone at Boise
City. Even the Harry Orchard" fea-
ture promises to be repeated almost
in duplicate, with McManigal playing
that role.
