Executive Tonight-Roosevelt
Dead in New England.

Representative Sulzer, chairman of the
House committee on foreign affairs. is
strongly opposed to Intervention by TINS
country in Mexico. and will stand against
any resolution in Congress having that In
view.
Mr. SuIzers attitude is we'll known to
President Taft with whom the New
Yorker conferred today prior to the caol-
net meeting. at which the Mexican situa-
tion was again referred to- Secretary
Stimson submitting reports from Ameri-
can army officers along the border. State
Department dispatches also We're in pos
session of the President. The information
appeared to indicate that President Made
TO is exertinG himself to suppress the
revolution and that he also Is doing all
within his power to protect American III
tercsts.
President Taft is himself opposed to
steps that would lead to intervention. but
strong pressure Is being used upon the
administration to have this country get
a foothold in Mexico so as to at least
reassure business and aid III paci1vlns
matters Suggestions have been made
that Congress ought to confer upon the
President authority to intervene if con-
0.tions warrant, but Mr.. Sulzer is under
stood to have given notification that TO
Legislation can go through that viii mean
intervention i'm any form. He wants TO
blcs without interference. so long as they
will do SO without attacking American
property and citizens.

me. from the many talks i have had
with republicans throughout New Eng
land. that President Taft will have all
OF the delegates from those states" said
Mr.. Shanklin. Il have found mighty
little Roosevelt sentiment. and / think

that the ex-President is serious

I. W. Brazeau of Grand Rapids,
Wis, who was Taft alternate at the
last republican national convention, dis
cussed Wisconsin politics today at the
White House.
One thing you may set down as

That Wisconsin is not for Roosevelt

that Mr.. Roosevelt has double-crOssed
Mr.. La Toilette. and they are sore. The
Wood County Reporter. the leading La
Toilette paper of the state. Is out openly
for Taft. The political movement in
the state is from La Toilette to Taft
because of the feeling that the former
