OPPOSE PRES. D|Az
Aged Mexican President Is
Now Engaged in PoIiti-
.4-4 cal Campaign. l..
EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES

Mexico City, May 30.-The recent
convention Of the Mexican Anti-re-elec-
ZIONIST or Democratic party, held in
the City of Mexico, has demonstrated
that the Diaz party has by no means a
political monopoly. A party platform
was adopted and candidates for the
presidency and vice-presidency were
nominated. For the former Francisco
l. Madero was chosen, while Francisco
Vasquez Gomez was accepted for the
vice-presidency. Both these men are
now touring the republic in a cam
paign in which conservatism and mod
Grafton have been the key note. Per
sonalities are not INDUCED in and in
a recent speech Senior Madero pointed
out to his audience that the Mexican
people, before hoping to get better
government would have to learn how
to change governments without revo-
luton. The fight is principally direct
ed against the reelection of vice-pres-
ident Ramon Corral, whom the re-elec-
tionists have slated as the successor
to President Diaz.
Since the elimination of Governor
Reyes last year the Democratic party
Of Mexico has had no leader worthy of
the name. While it is very improba-
BILE that it will succeed in electing its
candidates. the party will serve good
educational purpose. 1t will also see
that during the next election there is
free vote and fair count. Presi-
dent Diaz is quoted as saying that an
opposing political party is welcome
with him and that it will have nothing
to fear as long as its methods are
peaceful and not detrimental to Next
cos welfare. The Liberal. or Diaz
party has had no serious opposition
since the exit of the Conservatives
who vanished with the Macmillan re-
gime. Such other parties as have now
and then sprung up have been
personal rather than political affairs
men, not issues, being the factors.
