| that it is because of such realization
| that he has openly asserted that there
will never again be a war of conquest
by this country if he can prevent It,
Plain Stand Taken.
The declaration makes emphatically
plain to the world where the United
States stands. If it is compelled to use
its army and navy to restore peace in
Mexico-and the belief seems growing
here that this will be the final solution
there can be no interference by any Of
the so-called world powers. Interven-
ton in Mexico will follow the lines ad-
hered to when Intervention took place
in Characterization of order for the
Mexican people themselves. And the
money powers Of France, of Germany,
and Of England, with their billions Of
dollars invested. cannot force objection
which will be upheld by the mass of
the people of these nations.
Having exhausted every means of
bringing the warning factions in Mexico
together, and having openly proclaimed
that under no circumstances will this
Government seize any Mexican terri
tory, il is admitted that President VIII
son is today in such position that if he
must use force he will have the sup
port of all parties in the Senate and
the House. He has insisted time and
again that any problem which involved
the peace and welfare of the people
was not a partisan one. He has told
the members of the Senate and House
committees dealing with foreign affairs
that patriotism must rise superior to
partisanship, and as a result has had
their unanimous support in his recent
dealings with Hueta-
Conference Tomorrow.
The President and Secretary, Of State
BRYAN will confer here tomorrow, after
the formers return from Mobile. 1t Is
possible that, following this conference,
some further definite declaration of pol
lev will be announced so far as Mexico
is concerned
Advices received here today indicate
that an attempt may yet be made to
declare Federico Gamboa President
elect, and General Banquet vice presi-
dent of Mexico. Gamboa had the pas
sive support of Huerte. He is reported
TO nave polled a fair sized vote, and
10 have run second to Huerta, who was
the almost unanimous choice of the
army voters Should Huerta adhere to
his position, and insist that the ballots
cast for him be null and void there
exists a bare possibility that Gamnoa
will have a majority over the remaining
candidates. Then it would be possible
for the incoming Congress, which will be
absolutely dominated by Huerta, to de-
clare Gamboa elected: The BANQUET
votes are not necessarily void. Under
| the constitution he had the right to be
a candidate for vice president Thus II
| Huerta so desires congress could declare
| Gamboa and BlanQuet legally elected
president and vice president of Mexico.
| Reason for the fear that some such
action may be contemplated arises from
the declaration of Manuel Cara Aldape,
| minister of the interior. that ma
| jority of the registered vote need not
| be cast in a legal election.
IAN that is necessary" Aldape holds,
'fs that the returns come from a ma
| jority Of the electoral districts and that
| the election was fair"
Should an attempt be made to claim
a fair election on Sunday. and an
nounce a result, the situation, so far
| as this Government is concerned, would
| be a decidedly new complication.
