nador. Y como 10 habfamos pre-
visto tambien, result6 electo por
abrumadora mayorfa de Lvotos, ell
actual Gobernador Lie. Miguel
Cardenas, pues ell candidate de los
Independence 6 antireeleccionis--
tas, obtuvo un nimero insignifican
te de votos, capaz apenas para de-
mostrar que hubo amplia libertad
para los votantes.
Es de observarse, que los antir-
reeleccionistas casi no tomaron
lsarticipio en- la election, 6 por
que realmente ese partido es muy
peque1Io, 8 porque no teniendo va
lor civil para afrontar la situacion,
temieron ser objeto de atropellos
durante la election.
Lo cierto es, que en- muchos
municipios del kstado de Goa
huila, fue unanime la election
del Sr. Lie. Cardenas, como 81 no
hubiera partido contrario; en- otros
municipios solo Sc contaron seis,
ochO 6 veinte votos en- favor del
Sr. Lie. Fuentes, y ell resu'tado
general de la election en- todo ell
Estado, fue, como dijimos antes,
una mayoria abrumadora en- favor
del Sr. Lie. Cardenas.
