Compelled to Resign.
The Democratic party's candidate
for vice-president suffered with the
rest. Gen. Bernardo Reyes was gov.
ernor of the state Of Nuevo Leon.
While aspiring to be vice-president,
he declined the nomination for fear of
the consequences. Four times he de-
clined the nomination publicly. He
refused to see his supporters. He
spent the entire summer of 1909 at
his mountain resort In the state of
Nuevo Leon.
Nevertheless, because Of his popu-
larity. he was surrounded by an army.
compelled at the point Of the bayonet
to resign the governorship. and, final
ly. he was banished from the country.
Nominally, Reyes was sent on a
military mission to study the armies
of Europe, but In fact his going was
a political banishment-nothing else.
With the going Of Reyes In Novem-
er the Democratic movement In Next
co seemed entirely crushed. 1t was
revived by Francisco Madero, a
wealthy farmer of Nuevo Leon, a
friend Of Reyes and q member of one
Of the most noted families In Mexico.
Watching the situation as have. I
never imagined that Madero would be
arrested. I thought that the people
would be SO cowed by the events of
the previous months that Madefe
could never get a sufficient following
to make II worth while for Diaz to
move against him.
DIaz Very Unpopular.
But the Democratic movement In
Mexico was stronger than any one
imagined. The fragments of the party
got together and reorganized under
the name Of the Anti-Re-electionis
party; Madero was nominated for
president to oppose Diaz. The unpopu-
larity Of Diaz was so great that the
people dared to get behind Madero.
Presently the country was again on
fire with Democratic enthusiasm.
June 8, Madero-peaceable. court
eous. calm always-was thrown into
Jail and charged with insulting the
nation!" The latest information says
that hundreds of his followers have
cen arrested In many parts OF the
country and that the police are every
where breaking up political meetings
and arresting the participants.
Tomorrow I shall tell Of Diaz's sue
cess in Furnishing those enemies of his
who have sought safety as political
refugees in our country.
