Gov. Marshall Sees Crisis Coming.

Governor Thomas R. Marshall, Dem
ocratic candidate for vice-president,
wound up mis- campaign with speeches
in Montana yesterday at Harltown
and Roundup. He condemned the man
who lives for business only.
"My quarrel in this campaign said
Governor Marshall, "is not with the
business man, big or little, simply
because he happens to be business
man. But there is no menace TO the
countrys welfare so disastrous &s the
business man who will sacrifice every
interest of the republic in order to
advance his own personal business at
fairs.
81 know of no character so petty
as that of such man. For lew
thousand or hundreds of thousands
of dollars he will sacrifice the best IN
terests of his fellow countryn3en
Such a man believes that this republic
was created to permit him to DO ousi-
ness.
This is the type of man whose per-
nicious activity in governmental! al
fairs is speeding the republic to a
crisis that means revolution. "he-
Their the revolution will be pcaccaDi2

The senator had just finished his speech and was turning to get his hat when Rev. J. T Scott, a veteran missionary of forty years experience. called out from the floor: Do you believe in prohibition?"
 No" answered the senator almost before the question was finished. The crowd cheercd the senator. LaF'Ollette then continued: T don't think your question is fair That's not an issue and has not been an issue in this campaign but you have my answer. Roosevelt will be here tomorrow and Taft on Monday. Put the same ques- ton to them and see if they answer i- the way l did
 The senator declared in his address today that the cost of living had doubled in twelve years when as the result of improved methods it should have been lowered one-half. "A dozen years ago Gods law of supply and competition fixed the price of living the world over. Today man made laws exist and competition no longer prevails. There are men and com binations who fix the prices of food. .'

Notices to All Foreign Con suls Advise Them to Prepare for Protection
 of Countrymen
ASSOCIATED pnEgs DrspArcH1

MEXICO CITY, May 24.-The sense of relief experienced quite generally in Mexico City by reason of yester- days decisive battle at Rellano. was tempered by news today of a threat from Emliano Zapata, the rebel that he will 1ttack this city within eight days if President MaIero fails to resign in that period Although the threat is looked upon by government officials as a possible ruse on the part of OrOzcO, intended to halt the advance of the federaIs toward the north, it will not be overlooked.
 The warning came in COmmunica- tions to the chamber of deputies and simultaneously notices were sent to all foreign Consuls in the capital advising them to take such precautiOn for the protection of their subjects as they might see fit They were assured however, that no harm would come to foreigners if it could be avoided. The presence of strong bands of armed bandits, almost on the edge of the fed cral district. has not failed to give the 'ultimatum' of Zapata some weight, particularly in the minds of the for eign population Orozco's connection with the Zapata communication, was shown in the minds of officials by the fact that similar warnings were re- ceived by several ministers from Jose Madrid Lujan, Orozco's representative in the U. $
 Zapata is said to have between 5000 to 5000 armed men.
