TO
Win ELECTION
SAYS DOBSON
President of Commercial AS
sociation Returns From a
Trip of Several Weeks
Spent in Michigan and
Illinois and Says Pros
poets are Bright.

That the Democratic party win be
successful in the November general
election is the belief OF c. f. Dobson,
president of the Pensacola Commercial
Association, and he bases this opinion
on expressions he heard from bust
ness men through Michigan and Illi-
nois, in which states he has been Wis
iting for the past five or six weeks.
Mr.. Dobson returned to the city
yesterday afternoon much benefited
by his trip.s He spent several weeks
at a Michigan health resort and the
long rest put him in fine shape for the
winters work.
why, a fellow cannot even get up
an argument about Wilson'S election -
said Mr. Dobson last night, "for Il is
generally conceded that he viii be
elected and that too by no narrow
margin. There is much argument,
however, as to whether Taft or Roose-
velt viii run second on the ticket, with
the general feeling prevailing that Col
Roosevelt viii run second and Presi-
dent Taft third. Democrats are alb
solutely sure of winning in New York,
with exceeding bright prospects of
carrying Pennsylvania"
Mr.. Dobson says that business con-
ditions generally are good and that
everyone Is looking forward to a good
business year with plenty Of money in
circulation.

situation at Vera Cruz. the seat of the
Diaz revolt, is quiet and likely to re-
main so for the present until the Mex

The state department is advised by
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz that Gen.
Feliz Diaz has guaranteed life and
property so long as he remains in con-
troll of the city. 1t appears from to-
days advices that federal troops are
avoiding an encounter with Dias, who
is reported to have taken his troops
out of Vera Cruz twice to meet the
government forces, who both times
have refused to give battle.
The navy department today was ad-
vised that the Tacoma. was expected
to arrive st Tampico soon TO see that
