New York, Sept. 25.-Governor Sui

which lasted several hours.

Secretary Of Navy Daniels
Points to Mexican Case

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 25.--An ap-

an example of the result of the unwise

the secretary" made statement which
arrested the attention of every Amer

fratricidal strife which exhausts us,
| the tenseness Of our diplomatic rela-
tions with the government of the
United States, although luckily not
with thai people" has put us in q
state of apprehension and retarded the
complete pacification Of the republic
This official utterance of the act

City not only attracted attention, but
challenged national denial that any
sentiment existed in the United States
| to warrant the declaration. But what
was the basis which led Huerta into
| his error? What plausible ground did
| he have for asserting that public opin-
ion was not behind the president of
the United States in the latter's efforts
| to arrive at an amicable understand

"Of course, the wish was father TO
the thought with General Huerta, but
it must be admitted that the attitude
of some of the newspapers of the
United States and occasionally express
sions by we'll known Americans, might
have given the impression that the
fpeople were divided in their opinion
on this subject Of the recognition OF
| the Huerta regime.
ut is far from my purpose to call
in question that the editors Of these
newspapers and others were conscien
tious in their convictions" Mr.. Daniels
continued. "They are all most excel
llent gentlemen and patriotic at heart
but they we're misguided by misunder

river learn to restore sour and poor
fields by scientific fertilizirg, they need

ment of the federal banking laws
providing for the establishment OF
rural banks which have funds that
may be loaned to farmers for long
periods at a nominal rate of interest
was adopted by the resolutions COM
mittee of the farmers national con-
gress. Another resolution rebukes the
banking interests (which seek to
fasten their own rural credit system
on, the people" The Capitalization OF
the banking power was also assailed.
The discussion was greatly en-
livened by the address of A. P. San
dell, secretary Of agriculture of Ohio
who declared, 'the cultivating OF

ing of poor ground yield. You can't

situation. Bryan declined to comment.
While the United States might ulti-

disposition in official circles to doubt
that he can be elected. The over
whelming opposition recently shown
in the Mexican chamber of deputies to
the selection Of Eduardo Tamariz,
the leader of the Catholic party, as

garded by the officials as indicating
how unsatisfactory Gamboa's candi-
