lance nance Of the Taft administration.
Ihese conspirators have been under
observation for months, and their
plans are more thoroughly understood
tnan generally supposed. Their con-
Yiction has been that with the fnstalla-
lion OF a new administration in the
United States. revolution would he
come easier. This notion is responsi-
Die for great activity in the iuntas
IN New York. New Orleans, and else
Wnere. xse. But the incoming administra.
tons call for order has made these
gentry pause. S'
PRESIDENT Wilson is to believe that
government should be safeguarded
BY an electoral systel modelled on the
best yet tried. There seems a strong
possibility of the electoral system of
the United States will serve as an ex-
ample to be followed in other Latin
American countries.
- 1t is understood that President VIII.
son intends to take up the question
whether such a change cannot be-
brought about in the method Of con.
Quoting elections in Mexico and the
Central and South American republics.
While this effort will express itself
in general declarations and the infiu-
ence Of benevolent and high-minded
eAaHPie III international intercourse,
there will be specific refusal to enter
tain relations where there has been
conspicuous failure Of enlightened self
government. For instance, it is now
we'll understood that there will be no
recognition Of the Huerta government
except as it may be necessary for the
protection Of the life and property of
Americans in Mexico. Thus the task
that the president has set for himself
will involve International intercourse
that for the time will be disagreeable,
but in its broad and humanitarian mo.
tive will be justified.
