be chosen to the United States senate
for the term beginning next March.

islature was heavily Democratic in
both branches.
The Democrats went into the state
struggle this fall On the defensive,
having won control of the state gov
eminent in the election of 1910. They
based their campaign almost wholly
on national issues, although defending
their course in the state administra-
tiol. The Republicans used state is
sues entirely as the weapons of attack
and refused TO be drawn into any dis
cussion of national affairs.
The Progressive element Of the Re-
p%ublicans was in full control of party
machinery, but with the approval OF
Colonel Roosevelt a split was post
poned until after this struggle.

TROOPS READY FOR ACTION
HOWEVER ACTION WILL NOT BE
TAKEN UNLESS CONGRESS
so AUTHORIZES.
Public Men in Washington Give Views
president Taft Considers the
Situation a Grave
One.

Washington, d. G. - Intervention
in Mexico and the possibility of Presi-
dent Taft calling a special session of
congress to determine whether Ameri-
can troops should be sent across the
line are being widely discussed here
by public men and in diplomatic cir
cles.
1t is known that the government has
been pressed on many sides to take
such a step and various accounts Of
what influences were being brought to
bear and objects sought to be accom-
plished are related among those inter
ested on both sides.
President Taft and the state depart
ment. however. are holding to the
principle that 40 such action should
be taken without authorization of con-
gress.
That American soldiers have been
sent into China or hat American ma
val forces now are actively engaged
in Nicaragua without authorization of
congress is held not to be a precedent
for sending troops to Mexico.
Chinese Situation.
In China. American missionaries
were besieged and in danger of tor
ture and death. In Nicaragua rebels
had shelled the American legation and
endangered the lives of American citi-
ems by bombarding an unfortified city
in violation of the rules of interna-
finnol lou, No Stlnh ciftiofinn hoe
been reported in Mexico.
Juan Didapp who claims to repre-
sent the revolutionary factions here,
has published a statement to the eff
feet that Zapata, leader of rebel bands
in the state of Morelos, threatened
measure of reprisal" if the United
States were to intervene. ION the
ground that it would be impossible
for commanding officers to restrain
their soldiers from doing acts never
done before
Representatives of the Madero gov
eminent claim there are no Americans
in Morelos to suffer from Zapata's
bands and that the relation Of Zapata's
forces to the city of Mexico is the
same as would be the relation of
Washington to marauding bands in
North Carolina.
S. G. Refers to Civil War.
Captain A. Hopkins, who was legal
adviser to the Madero revolution when
it overthrow Diaz, likened the situa-
ton in Mexico to that in the United
States from 1861 to 1865, when this
government was resentful of prospec-
tive interference by Great Britain and
France. The Madero government, he
declared. was amendable for damages
under international law for injury to
Americans or their property, while dis
posing Of its own civil war.
News that President Taft considers
the situation a grave n and has Civ
en- thought to the eXpediency of put
ting it up to congress is expected to
bring out the usual crop of reports of
troops under orders to move and plans
completed by the general staff of the
army for campaigning in Mexico.
Ready to Invade Mexico.
1t is perfectly proper to say the war
department is ready to invade Mexico
at a moments notice.
