HAS NO FAITH
IN MEDIATION
Taft Thinks Long-Drawn Strug
gle Is Inevitable.
Illumn Administration for (¡¡vino
Illicit lid War "In Serv­
let of Mankind" Justified.
New York — William Howard Taft
gave hia viewa on the Mexican aitua-
tion Sunday in an address at the Free
Synagogue's celebration of Peace Sun­
day.
While the ex-Preaident expressed
little hope that the pending mediation
conference would accomplish its imme­
diate purpose, he asserted that the
offer of mediation ami its acceptance
constituted an im)>ortant step toward
the future settlement of international
disputes in the Western hemisphere.
He said there was no popular pres­
sure for a military policy which the
administration could not resist. He
said the |>eoplo were determined to do
their duty, even should that duty in­
volve war.
But for war, he added,
the people had little enthusiasm.
The criticism Mr. Taft leveled at
the Wilson administration had to do
with the aid which, he said, the ad­
ministration had given to the Mexican
rebels.
“In my judgment," he said, “if in
our course towards Mexico during the
past year we had not exerted such di­
rect influence as wo have to aid one of
the contending parties, we should not
now he so near general intervention
and war.”
In conclusion he called on all Ameri­
cans to aid the President in his efforts
to fl mi peace.
"Threatened war between two stable
nations is much easier to deal with
than such a condition as confronts us
in Mexico," he said.
"What we have there to contend
with is the disease of revolution.
Eighty per cent of the |>eople are ig
norant and illiterate.
A three-yeara
war has laid waste the country, de­
stroyed its industry and exposed all
foreigners to lawless violence and all
their investments there to destruction.
In such a case a neighboring nation
may properly intervene ami help the
forces of law and order to end such
anarchy just because it wishes to live
in a quiet neighborhood.
"But if we are to be involved in
war because of Mexican anarchy, let
us have it fully understood that we go
into it 'in the service of mankind,’ as
the President phrases it, and not upon
the issue of a mere punctilio in naval
ceremonial. Ix*t us not enter lightly
or unadvisedly upon a course that will
involve a sacrifice the extent of which
may well make us pause.
"We have, say,
60,000 mobile
troops of the regular army fit to take
the field in Mexico.
If the available
military forces of Mexicans trained
and made hardy by a three-years’ war
were to be masse»! against our troops,
we should need a much larger force
than we now have to capture the large
strategic inland towns. After we had
captured them ami dispersed the arm­
ies, the forces against us would adopt
a system of guerrilla warfare. The
best expert estimate of the force re­
quired by us to garrison the necessary
towna, suppress guerrilla warfare and
tranquilixe the country is 400,000
men, ami it is said that thia would take
two or three yeara, and involve an ex­
penditure of >1,000,000 a day.
"It would be a dead pull which
would wear the patience of the nation
ami in which the few lives lost in each
battle would total large and would
grow less and leas tolerable as the
dreary contest went on.
Disease in
that country would thin our ranks
more than bullets.
"Then, after having lost thousands
of lives and expended a treasure
double that which it has cost us to
give to the world the Panama canal,
we would have on our hands a hostile
Mexican people, without any gratitude
for our sacrifices. ”
Anti-SufTragists Mock
Feminists With Ridicule
Washington, D. C.—The gallery of
feminists, which the anti-suffragists
say is the worst gallery of all, has
been given to the public.
The mem­
bership, as described by the antis, in­
cludes women ranging from "well-
known actresses to muckrakers. ” In
publishing this list of suffragists the
National Association Opposed to Wom­
an Suffrage has this preface in the an­
nouncement from its Washington head­
quarters :
"Woman suffrage and feminism is
the movement born of a cubist and fu­
turist age of extremes. A state of so­
ciety is approaching where man will
not figure In the life of woman except
as the father of her children.
Those
who run may read, and those who read
modern suffrage literature are im
pelled to run in self-defense.”
Welland Canal Treaty
Forma Panama Precedent
Washington, D. C. — It became ap­
parent Wednesday that the senate can­
not reach a vote on the propose«l re­
lics I of the tolls exemption clause of
the Panama canal act for at least 10
days or two weeks, unless Democratic
leaders make an extraordinary effort
to s|>eod up the proceedings.
Under
the present speaking each day, action
on the repeal bill is still some distance
in th« future,
In the three hours it gave to tolls
the senate listened to a sppeech by
Senator Hoke Smith, who favors re­
peal, and to a debate between Sena­
tors Borah and Williams over regula­
tions governing the Welland canal,
which led to a dispute between the
United States and Great Britain sev­
eral years ago.
Senator Borah contended that Great
Britain had not to this day yielded its
interpretation of the treaty governing
the Welland canal, but had withdrawn
its discrimination against United
States commerce merely as a matter
of business to protect its own com­
merce from retaliatory measures taken
on the part of the United Statea.
He said the contention of Great
Britain at the time that the treaty en-
abled it to discriminate was still on
file in the State department, unaltered
in a single syllable.
Compromise Rill Pledged
In Home Rule Struggle
Ixmdon — Premier Asquith, in the
house of commons, plcdgtxl the govern­
ment to introduce an amending bill to
the home rule measure in the hope of
passing it by agreement between the
parties. If this offer is accepted, the
oringinal horn«» rule bill and the
amending bill will become laws prac­
tically nt the same time.
This, he
contended, was the only proper way of
carrying out any agreed settlement
which might be reached.
The prime minister added that ob­
viously in order to take advantage of
the provisions of the parliament act no
change could be made in the home rule
bill while it was in the committee
stage, and therefore any debate dur­
ing that stage would be pure waste of
time.
Mr. Bonar I-aw, leader of the oppo­
sition, bitterly criticised the “gag"
methods he declared Mr. Asquith pro­
posed, anti accused him of failing to
redeem his pledges to reconstitute the
house of lords.
Violent Eastern Storm
Repeats 24 Hours Later
Pittsburg The second disastrous
wind, rain and electrical storm in less
than 24 hours struck Pittsburg and the
Allegheny valley Wednesday, injuring
scores of persons, many of them prob­
ably fatally, and causing heavy losses
to pro|»erty.
The worst of the storm was felt at
Kittaning, Pa., in the Allegheny val­

VOTE IN FAVOR
OF WITHYCOMBE
Smith Apparently In Lead on
Democratic Ticket.
General Apathy Throughout State
Is Shown Only 60 Per Cent
of Registered Vote Cast.
Forllgod — tabulations of figures
from 21 of the 34 counties of the state
made at an early hour Saturday morn­
ing, strongly indicate the nomination
by the Republican party of Dr. James
Withycombe, of Corvallis, as its can­
didate for governor.
The returns while incomplete and
scattering, are thought to be repre­
sentative of the sentiment in each
county.
Moreover, they represent
largely county seat figures and Dr.
Withycombe is recognized as being
stronger in the rural communities than
in the urban.
While Gus C. Moser has a substan­
tial lead in Multnomah county, it is
apparent that Dr. Withycombe has
distanced him in all other counties,
with the possible exception of Clatsop,
Columbia and Tillamook.
Outside of Multnomah county, A.
M. Crawford is second highest in the
contest by a narrow margin over Mr.
Moser.
At a time when about the same pro­
portion of votes had been counted in
Multnomah county as had been counted
in the remainder of the state. Dr.
Withycombe led Mr. Moser by 525
votes.
If the remainder of the count should
continue in the same ratio Dr. Withy-
combe’s plurality would be between
5000 and 6000. The figures from 21
counties, including 45 precincts in
Multnomah county, all incomplete,
gave the following figures :
Withycombe, 1912; Moser, 1337;
Crawford, 1146; Dimick, 800; Johns,
792; Geer, 685; Carter, 530; Brown­
ell, 478.
On justice of the Supreme court it
is probable that the Republicans have
nominated Henry J. Bean, H. L. Ben­
son, Lawrence T. Harris, Thomas A.
McBride, though Charles L. McNary
and T. J. Cleeton will follow closely.
For attorney general, while Frank
S. Grant has a substantial plurality in
Multnomah county with George M.
Brown second, Mr. Brown has appar­
ently polled nearly two votes to Mr.
Grant's one outside of the latter’s
home county.
As to the Democratic contest for the
gubernatorial nomination, returns are
too meager to permit a forecast to be
made. The few precincts that have
renewed in Multnomah countv favor
John Manning, wnn Dr. C. J. Smitn
and Judge Bennett running close for
second place.
From upstate scattering returns
have been received from 16 counties
and these give Smith 1188, Bennett
964, Manning 158. The only clear in­
dication is that outside of Multnomah
the contest is between Smith and Ben­
nett.
The figures give a larger pro­
portion of the Democratic vote in
Umatilla county than any other. Uma­
tilla is Dr. Smith’s home and there
he, of course, polled a very heavy
vote. Other upstate counties with a
few exceptions have on the incomplete
returns given Judge Bennett a plural­
ity. It is apparent that the race lies
between Dr. Smith and Judge Bennett.
Old General Apathy held sway
throughout the state, and the voters,
acceding to his commands, stayed at
home.
It is estimated that only a little
more than 60 per cent of the registered
vote in the state at large, including
Multnomah county, was cast.
While the proportion was much
heavier in Portland, some of the out­
standing districts of the state polled a
bare 50 per cent of their registration.
The following candidates appear to
have been nominated without opposi­
tion :
,
United States senator—R. A. Sooth,
Republican; George E. Chamberlain,
Democrat; William Hanley, Progres­
sive.
Representative in congress. First
district—Fred W. Mears, Progressive.
