Jo Omaha Rotarians at.
: Regular Meeting.
-MontaviUe Flowers of California
was the principal speaker yesterday
at the regular luncheon of the
Rotary club, held in the ballroom of
Hotel Fontenelle. The meeting.was
largely attended.
Mr. Flower spoke on the subject
of "Mexico, a Beggar Sitting on
a Bag of Gold," the wealth of which
in natural resoruces, he declared,
staggers the imagination of all other
countries and which is destined not
long hence to become vthe greatest
single factor in the business life
of the world. i
Qff to Convention.
- Rev. Robert F. Leavens, pastor of
the First Unitarian church of Oma
haj&ave an interesting talk on "The
Law of Nature." '
Announcement was made that a
special train would . leave the city
Monday night for' Des Moines,;
where the district convention of "Ro
tarians will be held Monday and
Tuesday. Twenty-five reservations
have been made for this train, which
will return to Omaha, arriving
Tuesdav morning.'
Mr, Flower, in his address on
Mexico, ' deplored the . policy of
"watchful waiting" and the writing
1 of "sweet notes" to a nation of 15.
000,000 "Indians, 1 1,000,000 jof which
never had a shoe on their feet and
' couldn't read sweet notes if they saw
them." . '
Mexicans Disappearing Kace.
Mexico, he declared, to be x the
richest and least exploited of all na
tions, where other countries, includ
ing Germany, Great Britain, Japan
, and the United States on a lesser
scale, are struggling to gam a foot
hold. ..... ',
"Mexico is fabulously rich in coal,
wood, iron and oil. - Two hundred
and r ninety-nine developed wells
there produce more oil than all of
the thousands of the United States.
-Mexico has potential fields capable
of paying the debt of the entire
world, and she can supply 90 per
'cent of all, the fruit required m a
year." 1 , . .
The Mexican people in the rush
of powerful nations after the. wealth
of her hidden treasures, are destined
to become a disappearing race, Mr.
Flower told his hearers.
Withdraws From Race
. :iFor Public Defender
In Favor of Baldwin
James ,H. Walker, Omaha attor
ney, 508 Omaha National Bank
building, to insure republican suc
cess at the November election, has
issued the following statement:
"Having been urged by a num
ber of my friends to file for the
nomination for the office of public
defender, I allowed my name to go
on the republican ballot as a candi
date for that office.
"I now find that there are 13 as
pirants for the place and realize that
it will be impossible for a majority
candidate to b nominated with this
number in the race.
"I, therefore; urge my friends to
vote for John N. Baldwin, who is
undoubtedly the majority candidate
and the strongest man in the race.
"He is the man best fitted for the
" position, not only on account of his
experience in the practice of the law,
but because of the broad sympathy
he gained for his fellow men dur
ing his two years of service in the
armv.
"I am withdkawing from the race
myself itt Mr. Baldwin's favor and
if it were possible at this late date,
would take my name from the bal
lot '
-".However, I urge that all repub
llcans cast their vote for John H.
Baldwin in order that he may be the
majority nominee of the republican
party for public defender."
