of foreign governments is given In con.
frmation of recent reports OF some
thing much like a general state or
chaos In Mexico. II is said that no
fewer than eighteen thousand men are
in open rebellion against the Madero
government. some OF them organized
reyolutionists, but many mere maraud-
ers They are not all in one movement,
but comprise numerous independent
outbreaks, having nothing In common
but enmity toward President Madero.
Loot and murder are their common
practices. and most of the rebels
threaten retaliation against the gov
eminent measures which suspend con-
stitutional guarantees and authorize
the killing of all prisoners. Nor are
these conditions by any means con
fined 10 the northern border states.
They involve seventeen Of the twenty
seven states of the federal union, In
Guiding some OF the southernmost and
those surrounding the national capital.
Now, from even the most friendly
and favorable point OF view such con-
ditions must be regarded as exceed
ingly grave. while to a less optimistic
eve they closely resemble at least I'm
pending chaos. There may. IL is true.
be some question Of the accuracy OF the
representations, since they are made
by foreign agents, who are not always
friendly TO Mexico and whose vision
may not be free from distortion. Never
theless. we can scarcely suspect re
sponslble representatives of govern
ments OF making such grave state
ments carelessly or insincerely, and
we must remember that their reports
correspond closely with those which
have been made by American CORE
spondents. OF course, so far as the
methods OF warfare are concerned.
what is indisputably known Of them In
the north warrants belief OF tales OF
like procedure in the south.

senator CummlnsS snlft from Mt.
Taft 10 Colonel Roosevelt was not IN
expected. II was foreshadowed by the
action Of The Des Moines Register
and Leader" which a few days ago
declared for the Progressive nominee,
though declining 10 give its support
70 the Progressive party. The gradual
change in the attitude Of the Iowa
senator and Of the Des Moines news
paper is easily explained. Both are
more interested In maintaining the in
huence OF the Cummins machine IN
Iowa than in the preservation OF the
Republican national organization and
the vindication Of Republican prin-
ciples.
The split In the Republican party
mas tried the souls Of time-serving Re
publicans in many states who believe
that getting and keeping Office is the
chief end OF a party's existence. They
are willing TO be regular Republicans
or third party men or both. so long as
they think that they can hold fast TO
power and patronage. They cannot I'M
derstand the unselfishness and devo-
ton of other Republicans who are
ready TO give up Office and 20 down TO
defeat rather than betray the ancient
principles and heritage Of Republican
ism.
MFR. Cummins was willing for a while
ferkf
more so since his colleague, Mr.. Ken
Won. renominated for the Senate as a
Republican. promptly declared that as
a Republican candidate he intended TO
recognize his honorable obligation 10
work with and for the national Repub-
lican candidates. When the force Of
the Roosevelt movement in Iowa began

Iican 10 vote for any Presidential can

ate the third party still further for his

THE VERMONT ELECTION.

The results Of the election in Yer
mont must be distinctly disappointing
10 the Third Term partisanS. They
have indeed thrown the election OF the
Governor into the Legislature, where
the Republican candidate will doubt
less be chosen. But they have not cast
as large 8 vote as they predicted by
several thousands. They claimed 20
600. and the returns so far received In
dictate a vote of only about 1900 out
Of a larger total vote than that OF
either 1903 or 1910 Mr.. Fletcher ap-
pears to have lost about so per cent OF
the Republican vote. while the Demo
Gratis have polled their own strength
with a slight gain over that Of 1910
but not more than in proportion 70 the
increased attendance at the polls. The
Progressive vote is smaller than that
OF the Democrats and only a little
more than half that OF the Republicans
1t is clear from these returns that
Mr.. Roosevelt has organized a move
ment encouraging to the Democrats
but one quite incapable Of placing him
in the White House If in other states
the Democrats can hold their vote TO-
gether as well as they have done IN
Vermont and IL the ProgressiveS can di-
vide the opposition in the same pro-
portion they will probably give the
victory 10 Mr.. Wilson That is the
most they can do.
In Vermont. after a strenuous per
sonal campaign by the most adroit and
popular politician Of this generation
At the very flush Of the first enthusi-
asm over his nomination and over the
vision which he promises TO reallze'
they are outveted nearly two 10 one
by the Republicans If their purpose
j. merely 10 defeat Mr.. Taft and throw
the government into the hands Of the
Democrats they may possibly accom-
plish that. but nothing more. Perhaps
Mr.. Roosevelt would thus be satisfied
for the time being. and doubtless re-
venge is the railing passion with some
Of his advisers. but as the lesson OF
the Vermont figures sinks more and
more into the public mind the average
citizen VIII face the alternative OF
Republican or Democratic rule.
That has been the history Of third
party movements in the past. They
are formidable in the summer and
Early fall, but when men who may at
first have been attracted 20 them by
enthusiasm for an individual or for
novel doctrines face OH Election Day
the question Of choosing between what
are practical possibilities they are not
inclined to waste their votes. And
Yesterdays election in Vermont shows
that support Of the Third Term move
ment will in the outcome Of the cam
paign be a waste Of votes.
