The magazine asserts that there is slavery in Mexico at this mo- mone: that there is barbarous political persecution. that there is imprison- sion of personal and political liberty. Discussing the coming election it says:
 "Ir, seems to be evident from an opinion of many Mexican newspapers and from private letters received. that at this moment no opponent of Diaz or of his candidates is safe from an- noyance or persecution Some of them have been driven out of Mexico; some have been imprisoned. others have been stripped of power and influence by various devices. The movement to- day for free nominations and elections has aroused the government to severe pressure measures And, moreover, t9 extend it's terrorizing hand acfoss the border into the Emitted States"
