UNITED STATES
MUST INTERVENE
Spectator, Leading British News
paper, Impartially Discusses
the Mexican Situation

London, Jan. 5.-The Spectator
declares that the pressure of pub
lie opinion in all the rest of the
world soon will force the United
Steates to intervene in Mexico. The
article declares President Wilson
made mistake in not assuming
that President Huerta would be the
strongest force with which to bring
about peace in Mexico and in sup
porting him accordingly, but it adds
that it understands perfectly the
reasons why Mr. Wilson did not a.
dopt this course.
The Spectator declares joint ac-
ton by other powers with the Unit
ed States in Mexico is impossible
and that the United States will have
to act alone or sacrifice the Monroe
doctrine The articles says it would
prove rather an easy conquest for
the United States, but that conquest
would be succeeded by a demand for
national independence, accompanied
| by rebellion The rebellion also
would he appeased, but it would be
followed by annexation to the Unit
el States of northern states Of Mexi-
co and the independence of the re,
mainder of the country under a
treaty by which the Washington
government would control Mexico S
foreign relations. The Spectator
thinks even this condition would not
last long and predicts that within
fifty years one nation of 200, 100000
speaking people will extend
from the Canadian border to the
Panama canal, with the exception oi
] British Honduras.
IN conclusion the article says:
In spite of foolish American talk
about English jealousy and SO forth
talk SO idiotic that one really can
not be expected to deny 1.-THE bulk
OF public opinion here will be heart
ily with the United States in the
work of restoring order in Mexico

merely be friendly in diplomatic

Scott for Governor?
There was discussion today of a
possible Capper opponent. Charles F..
Scott's name was mentioned at times.
So was the name of Judge F. C. Price
of Clark county. There was also Trout

Plans for sidetracking Major Harvey
to the gubernatorial track, were also
mentioned. But none of the plans
showed indications Of formal organiza-
ton.

pass resolutions at business meeting

The meeting Of the Kansas Day club
tonight is the twenty-third annual din
ner Of Kansas Republicans. 1t was
away back curing the Populist regime
in this state that dozen of the old
guard in the Republican party met in

Of the state.
1t was at the Kansas Day club meet
ings that plans were laid for the over
throw Of the Populfsts. Party leaders
at the annual Republican dinners ana
conferences have prepared many OF the
details for the state campaigns OF re-
cent years. 1t was at the Kansas Day
club meeting that plans for senatorial
and gubernatorial campaigns were
Matched and it was at a Kansas Day

Stubs was outlined Each meeting In
recent wears mas been significant of
some important move in state wide
politics. This year the big question
before the Republicans of the state is
the promotion of the movement for har-
mony and the discussion of platform
policies for the coming campaign.
Party leaders look for few political
announcements at today's meeting. The
general opinion among early arrivals
for the banquet, favored the keeping
of candidates in cold storage until the
