FL PASO. July 2e.-Is the Reyei candidacy for the vice presidency oI Mexico being backed by railroad and oii interests of the United States?
 This question has been raised by . combination of circumstances, that according to individuals familiar with the trend of events in the republic is very significant and that gives plaus.bility to the theory that com mercial and industrial affairs in Mex ico are the key to the situation that now confronts the Mexican people.
 That things are assuming a state of unrest in the republic at this time such as has not existed in Mexico for many years, is the assertion of those conversant with political develop ments in the republic in the last few weeks.
 The Reyes candidacy for the vice presidency has aroused the masses of Mexico to greater heat politically than in years. The sentiment for the mil. itary man is said to be spreading with alarming rapid,ty, and heroic measures are being taken by the ad. ministration party to suppress the par. tisans of Reyes.
 Thirty Men Jailed h Sonora.
 Within the last few days outbursts in favor of General Reyes have oc- cured in Guaymas and Nogales that have resulted in the Imprisonment of over thirty men. according to advices reaching Fl Paso.
 A few days ago at Nogales, Sonora. a demonstration in favor of General Reyes occurred and eighteen partici. pants of the meeting are said to have been jailed.
 Significant in these occurrences is the fact that this part of the republic. commonly believed to be strongly in favor of the administration party. should be SO favorable to Reyes. It will be remembered that a short time ago a young newspaper editor went through Fl Paso on his. way to Guay- mas after having been forced to leave Mexico City. While here he said he would take an active part in promot- ing the candidacy of General Reyes in that section of the country. At that time nothing of the Reyes party was heard in Sonora. but activities have been noted since.
 Quiet Sentiment In Chihuahua.
 The same is said to be true of Jalisco. and quietly. of Chihuahua. While in the latter state no activity has been evident persons from Chi huahua declare that the sentiment Is for Reyes to surprising degree. In Jalsco, particularly in Guadalajara. is the Reyes candidacy becoming the leading matter of moment.
 In line with this is the news that students in the public schools in that section have been forced to leave the schools unless they pledge themselves to take no part in the Reyes cam paign. The student element has been a dec 'ded factor the latter's cam paign. 1t is said, and action of the above nature was made necessary to keep the students out of politics. The excuse for this action is that the stu dents are mostly under age and that they have no right to participate irf politics
