PRESIDENT of Anti Reelection
Club at Chihuahua Says
Reyes Will Not Do.
ADMITS MEXICO
rs DISTURBED

Chihuahua, Mexico, Aug. 1S.-Poli-
tics, both state and national, are
warming up in this state. The cleo
ton for all state officers in Chihua-
hua, from governor down, will be held
next Sunday, the 10Th, but in this
city the presidential election next fall
appears to take precedence over all.
The following is an address just
issued to the members of the Anti
Reelection club by DR.. L. B. Raschbaum,
Of this city:
Let US review calmly the political
horizon Of the present and judge hon.
estly the conditions and the men Of
the hour. We had a great struggle
against tyrannical government The
uprising was spontaneous because the
abuses were general We will not
enlarge on the suffering of the masses.
because the evidence thereof will re-
main with US for years to come We
are now comparatively free, but the
environments are such that the great
er task is how to remain free. 1t is
quite natural for those who felt the
hand Of oppression to desire to be
free.
Mischief Not Strange.
1t is not strage that after such a
revolution which comprised all kinds
OF elements under all kinds of condi-
tons with comparatively little organi-
xation, that some mischief should be
afloat- The suddenness of-its termina-
ton, the immediate establishment of
a provisional government was little
understood by the masses Consequent
ly the people are not altogether to
blame for the present unrest, nor are
the past active revolutionists to be too
readily censured if they have displayed
a degree of mistrust in the motives
Of the provisional government not be-
cause Of anything that president de la
Barra did, but rather because of the
apparent Cientifico manipulations.
That old clique succeeded in infusing
discord among the patriots In what
they failed to accomplish openly, they
succeeded with corruption secretly
Their efforts. however, only alienated
the confidence in Madero for a short
time And is il strange that, at an in
terTal of such tremendous upheaval
OF confidence, that some of the many
chiefs of the liberating army-some
from selfish motives and others from
the habit Of slow thought-have shown
an unwillingness to comply with all
the provisional government demands2
Victorious Outbursts.
Inc strikes tnat occurred and those
threatened. were but natural out
burst Of a people flushed with victory,
honestly trying to improve their con-
ditions. Nor was it to be expected
that, after many years of constraint,
they should coolly await their oppor-
unity But now that they have had
a little time for reflection, they will
defer all further strikes until the more
important duty that confronts the ma
tion VIII be disposed Of The wise
election Of the next president, vice
president and congress means peace
and prosperity. The revolution was
fought for a representative Democratic
government
We wish here to announce that this
is the vital question confronting the
nation Our provisional president has
conducted affairs well and his mo-
tives. his patriotism and love for coun-
try could only be questioned if he per-
mits himself in any way to accept the
candidacy for president this term.
We will not believe for one second
