When the back ers of the candidacy of Jose Pino Suerei for the vice presidency of Mexico entered the progressive convention this morning their faces did not betray the same con fidence which has characterrsec them until now. The vigorous attacks made on the can didacy of the Yucatan leader last night have lowered his stock considerably and those claiming to have inside knowledge of the temper of the delegates are Inclined to believe he will have difficulty In defeat ing Alfredo Robles Domlnguex. A few tim orous ones also are beginning to fear Dr. Francisco Vasques Oomes, notwithstand ing that he is chief of the anti-re-electlon-Ists, which party rejected the candidacy ot Mudero and nominated Jmllo Vasques Gomes for the presidency. It Is expected that the convention will vote on vice presidential candidate before noon and few are venturing guesses on the successful one. Sanchez Ascona, personally a partisan of Suares, is credited this morning by many political observers with having acted clev erly last night In availing himself of his right as chairman arbitrarily to adjourn the convention. Since then the leaders of the four political factions have worked hard and the strain of their over-night ef forts showed on them today. The attacks of the opposition on the methods employed by the backers, of Suares have had a noticeable effect. Al though they were unable to prove that the central committee had overstepped the bounds of political ethics in supporting that candidate charges to that effect have resulted In open suspicion on the part of many of the delegates whose votes Suarez'a 7W I Germany Will Accept General Opinion at Paris Terms Of fered to Settle Moroccan Trouble Are Sufficiently Liberal. PARIS Sept. 1. While the French for eign office, it is understood, has no sure indication that Germany will accept the French proposals for a settlement of the Moroccan question, a measure of confi dence is felt in agreement, because of the extent of the compensations which are to be offered by France. Since these are central African areas. It Is not supposed that Germany would proceed to extreme lengths over a few thousand square miles, more or less. The real difficulty in the way of an early settlement. It is believed at the for eign office, lies in the special commercial and mining guarantee which Germany may seek In Morocco, as nothing can be given Germany In Morocco which Great Britain does not possess. Besides, anything like special privilege would affbTK) -endless oc casions for the reopening of the contro versy on questlcns of Interpretation. The French and British governments have reached the fullest mutual agree ment on every phase of the Franco-German dispute.

D., Sept. L (Special Tele- gram.) Referring to President Taft's late speech at Hamilton, Mass., in which he spoke of progressive republicans as playing politics. United States Senator Coe L Craw ford said today: "I think the president has made a mistake which he will regret in charging the republican with having no higher motive than small personal politics In . co-operating with the democrats In the passage of the La Follette woolen bill nd the farmers' free list bill. He did not hestitate to o-operate with the democrats In securing the passage of the one-sided reciprocity measure, but he ac cuses us of small politics because we worked with the same democrats to secure some reductions which would in measure offset the discrimination against the farm ers In the reciprocity bill. I am a progressive republican and shall stand with the progressives n( matter whether I must part company with the president, of whom I am personally fond. "Free trade for the farmer and DroteeUnn for th emanufacturer cannot win. It is fundamentally wrong and I must not, by silence, be placed In the attitude of ap proving It. nor do I want to see the re actionaries who stand for that nrinelm. control the next republican convention."
