NCOHllDuGQ rage One.f
Last nights dinner. during which
we thought we would Josh the states
man, ended in a calamity. 1t was a
tragedy for Senator La FolIette's hopes
He has simply wiped himself off the
map.
Undoubtedly he came to Philadel-
phia to make the address of his life
famous SANDER of the magazines
realized that the man had overstepped
previous to that time the senator
had talked for more than two hours
and when he concluded I certainly
rebuked him. In my mind, the sena-
tor. not knowing the relationship be-
tween the magazines and the newspa-
peArs. came to the dinner to attack the
latter and curry favor with the
former"
What La Toilette said.
The portion of Senator La Follette's
speech to which Mr.. Seitz took excep-
ton was as follows:
Il have sketched the growth and
power of the great interests that today
control our property and our govern
ments. I have shown how subtle and
elusive, vet relentless they are. Ris-
ing up against them is the confused
voice of the people. Their heart IS
true but their eyes do not yet see all
the intricate sources OF power. Who
shall show them? There are only two
agencies that in any way can reach
the whole people. These are the press
and the platform. But the platform
in n way compares with the press in
its power Of continuous, repeated in
struction-

would be their eager and willing in

AMERICANS IN
MEXICO SUFFER
Charged Policy of Permitting
Exports Of Arms to Ma
dera Works Two Ways.

Washington. Dec. 11.-w. S. Pence
of Chicago, H. S. Stephenson Of Los
Angeles and E. X. Warren Of Three
Oakes. Mich. with interests In Mexi-
co, protested to the state department
against what they claim is the prac-
tice Of the United States in permitting
exports of arms and ammunition to
the Madero forces in Mexico. while
prohibiting them to Orozco. the rebel
leader. They claim the application OF
such rule has resulted in forcing the
rebels to levy upon the Americans in
Mexico by system of forced loans or
ransoms to procure weapons of war.
They urged upon the state depart
ment that the only means Of meeting
the difficulty is to return to the for
mer practice Of permitting the export
Of arms and ammunitions to both
sides.
State officials declare that under the
recent neutrality proclamation the
government was prohibited from PEI
mitting war supplies going to the in
surgents. 1t Is expected an effort will
be made to have the senate commit
tee recommend either an amendment
or a withdrawal Of the proclamation.
