GOV. GONZALES SAYS
GAMBLING MUST
CEASE
Politics in Mexico City Are
Somewhat Mixed by
Catholics
tcontinued from Page L,

Gabriel Fernandez Somellera, who be-
came president of the Catholic party
by choice of the delegates, and Madero
in the Madero family residence and the
stories go that even the archbishop OF
Mexico. Mon. Jose Mora v del Rio was
numbered among Mr.. Madero's callers
In the anteconvention days.
REYES Party Handicapped.
The Reyes party will }abor under a
big handicap in the coming eiect1on In
that the vice presidential candidate
will not be known until about the mio-
die of September. The central COM
mittee has just issued an unique call
for q convention without fixing the
date definitely, the rare feature being
that the convention is not called 10
name candidates for both president
and vice president but merely to Sc
Iect a running mate for the man VINO
has already been chosen TO heao the
ticket. The committee in its own can
does good deal to prove the charge
of ..personalism" made by the oppon-
| ents of the Reyes ticket. AS mat
ter of fact the principles announced
IN the Reeves program have little TO
do with the party efforts to have the
former governor of Nuevo Leon eie-
waited to the presidency, the backbone
| of the party being the personality OF
| the candidate
Students for Madero.
Under the convention call, delegates
must present their credentials to the
central committee on September H.
| and thew will then be cited for the
| convention, which will in all proba-
| bility begin on the following day.
| The students in the various pro-
fessional schools of the capital nave
not neglected the opportunity to get
| into the political game and the Stud
4 ent's Liberal party has been organized
! with the announced intention of fight
/ ing religion and militarism in politics,
1 but the students were not counting
| on clever politics on the part OF the
/ leaders OF the Catholic party, for al
| ready they have given an earnest vote
| of adherence to "the plan of San Luis
/ Potosi." which is another way of say
| ing Francisco /. Madero. With the
| Catholic party supporting their can
1 didate for the presidency, the students
/ therefore will have some difficulty IN
| making a redhot war on religion IN
politics
The students are just as much a
| part of the life of Mexico City as are
| the students of Paris or ST. Peters
! burg. They can make fervid patriotic
speeches and break plate glass win
dows with equal facility and they can
beat a walking delegate in organizing
strikes
When there is trouble in the city.
such as the rioting of the lower classes
in the day preceding the arrival OF
Madero in the city, the all important
question is whether the students are
taking part in the movement and II
not serious results are not expected
and the peaceful part of the population
| sleeps in peace. Within the past two
| months, students in the various pro-
fessional schools have struck because
Il the food at the school mess was not to
| their liking, because they did not like
the head of the school. because some
professor was displeasing or because
| as happened in one case, they claimed
| that the examination was too severe
and SO percent represented the portion
which was falling.
These Strikers Are Winners.
| It's no joke in a medical OF agricul-
tura1 college here when the students
| strike, nor in the law school or the
| school of architecture and Bellies
Aries. The sculptors and painters OF
this school went on strike recently
because they declared the head of the
school was an architect and that their
branch of instruction suffered. They
wanted a separate little institution OF
their own, but strange to say. have
! not got it as yet AS a rule however
the students of Mexico City have a
higher percentage of wins for the num-
Der of strikes than perhaps any other
set Of persons in the world who are
addicted to the strike nabit. They
have an unpleasant little habit OF
starting after an unpopular college
| presidents scalp and taking his head
along with it. The schools are all part
of the government university and the
complaint goes to the department Of
education and with few exceptions thf
the students prove themselves the real
bosses and get what they want.
