demanded by the old party, that it
would be well to organize under
new party name.
The effect of this was to reduce
the Centre Anti Reelectionist to the
status of mere political club, with
no special voice in the campaign. This
was bad enough, but when the new
committee named by Madero chose
new party name and issued a call for
convention, the evident purpose OF
which was to shelve Dr. Francisco Vas
quez Gomez as a candidate for vice
president, the Centre Anti-Reelection-
ista determined to make the issue at
once. Madero was fatty asked If he
recognized the Centre as the governing
body and several other difficult Ques-
lions were presented, including one
which was practically a demand that
Madero promise that in the event Of
his election. he would not put Gen.
Reyes in his cabinet
Reyes Supporters Elated.
Madero gave the committee which
straight from the shoulder talk ana
sent them away very much disgruntled.
Returning to the capital he had num-
Der of conferences with Dr.. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez, members of the Cen
tro Anti Reelectionista and the Madero
committee being present, with the re-
suit that the Centre Anti-Reelection-
ista has broken all alliance with Ma
dero and has the endorsement of near
ly 800 clubs in its action. The Centre
i-Reelectionista now proposes to
put a new ticket in the field and will
call a convention for that purpose.
Reyes partisans are elated. feeling
that the split in the Madero ranks will
assure the election of their candidate
The lower classes, however. who know
little about political clubs and less
about quarrels among the political
leaders of the country, are q unit for
Madero and with every man guaran-
teed his right to deposit his ballot on
eection day, 1t will be very difficult
to dislodge the revolutionary chief and
beat him for the presidency.
