"The Mexican question Is broader than
our own civil war; It does not relate to
Mexico alone; It does not relate to Ameri
can property Interests In Mexico alone,
but It concerns tho reputation ot the
United States with Mexico, Panama, Cen
tral America and all the South American
republics."
This wa. the way Richard V. Metcalfe,
first civil governor ot the Panama canal
rone, approached the subject of tho Mexi
can difficulties when speaking before the
Jacksonlan club of Omaha at the reor
ganization banquet at the Faxton hotel
last night.
"These South American countries and
tho whole Latln-Amertcan territory to
day should be buying our goods, our farm
Implements, and our produce, but they
aro not doing It.
"Why?
"Because their prejudice has been so
Worked up against us for many years
that they are everlastingly afraid ot us.
But tho administration of President Wil
son and his attitude on the Mexican ques
tion has already done more to wipe out
this feeling and create a feeling of friend
ship than has anything since the days ot
James G. Blaine. It Is winning the friend
ship of South America. What Woodrow
Wilson Is doing for Mexico Is for Panama
as well and tor all of South America, and
when he wins, as he will, he will make a
great and far-reaching stroke for world
peace."
But Mr. Metcalfe did not concern him
self with national politics alone. Being
In Nebraska avowedly to feel out whether
thero Is any chance tor him to be elected
governor of the state, he had a few things
to say about state politics. "Thero Is no
need to deceive ourselves about the mat
ter of friction in the democratic party,"
he said. "It Is better to face the truth
now than to undeceive ourselves after
election. I am an expert on butcher
knives, and since I havo been In Ne
braska in the laat few days I havo found
them In a dozen different places in the
state.
"But after all the differences among
tho democrats are largely personal dif
ferences. But I say these differences
should be fought out among the persons
with whom they exist. If tho leaders
can't agree, let them step out, and let us
call from the farms and shops new lead
ers to represent the party."
Ton at to President.
The Jacksonlan banquet was attended
by something over 100 men. Frank
Weaver, toastmaster, proposed a toast to
President Wilson, which was responded
to with the crowd on their feet. W. F.
Baxter, tho first speaker, wanted men to
be democrats, not because their fathers
were, but because they recognized what
It meant to be a democrat. "I am a dem
ocrat," ho said, "not for the mighty
achievements of the past, but for the
great possibilities of the future ot the
party."
Herbert I Davis of Ord urged the fac
tions to get together and said he believed
tho talk ot animosity between the demo
crats ot the metropolis and the democrats
ot out In the state was largely on the
surface after all and was not really deep
rooted.
John FItr Roberts said he waa with
Bryan, grape Juice and all, "and yet," he
said, "If ho wero not with the president
I would not be with the secretary of
state."
I. J. Dunn also took occasion to exploit
the Mexican situation. He roasted those
who clamor for war to "protect American
lives In Mexico," and pointed out that
while much was made of the report that
a total of sixty Americans had been killed
In Mexico In 1912. the statistics show that
9,000 were murdered in America In the
same year.
"Now, then," he continued, "what right
have wo to go to Mexico to enforce law.
