The natives here have prepared big dem onstration in honor Of the little saint, as they affectionately refer to Madero
 Hundreds of natives await Madero at every station as his train passes. Scores have travelled great distances through the sand, cactus and sage to wait for his coming and shout ''Viva Madero."
 The blind, lame and other cripples join the throngs. At one water tank on the desert, seven women and twelve children today came to the tracks leading a blind man who played the national anthem on an ancient fiddle, cracked voice while the pitiful group waved corn tassels and shouted "Viva Medero."
 Tn the midst of these peace demon strations, Madero is still thinking of further campaigns. He declared to- day that General Figaro, southern in- surrecto leader, would go to lower Cal ifornia with a big force Of men to help General Villjoen suppress the in surgents there.
 In conversation with the United Press correspondent, Madero said:
 There are 200 armed men in the three cars ahead but after what I have seen I know I shall not need their services
 In all his speeches today Madero told the people they could not have good government unless they were good cit izanC
