Mt\lCO illAs AuS SuSi -t--T diiNiNNV is Malero will be formally nominated to- morrow for the presidency by delegates representing 1509 clubs in national conven- ton of the progressive party, unless something unthousht of tonight by more than nine-tenths of the city's population occurs To name the choice of the con vention for vice president is by no means so simple. Today the credentials of the delegates were examined and the prelm- mary work of organizing the convention was done, but the serious part of the programme is fixed for tomorrow. No Name But Madero
 Tonight no name but that of Madero is suggested for the presidency, but four names will doubtless be placed before the convention for the vice presidency pr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez has re, tained many of his packers. who will do their best 10 keep his name on the ticket where it was placed in 1910 prior to the revolution but both he and his brother, Emilio Vasquez Gomez, former minister Of the interior, have lost their prestige and il will be surprise if he receives a sufficient vote. His opponents are Jose Pino Suarez. Alfredo Robles Dominguez and Fernando Iglesias Calderon.
 Iglesias Calderon is the man who re- cently organized the liberal party, which TOW appears ready to support Madero If given the vice presidency.
 Six parties and two or three organiza- tions with ambitions to attain the dig nity of that character have appeared, but it now seems certain that but three will have presidential candidates in the race The men will be Madero. Gen. Bernardo Reyes and Emilio Tasquez Go- meg.
 Vasuuez Gomez is the choice of the in- surgent group of Madero's party.
 Reyes is content to run with per sonal following popularly known as the Reyistas
 The Catholics agreed in convention to support Madero.
 The evolutionists have announced their intention of naming candidates. the chief going so far as to declare he will ask congress to postpone the elections on account of the unsettled conditions throughout the republic. The other two parties are the liberals and the anti re-electionists, the latter being the sup- porters of Emilio Vasuuez Gomez.
 The campaign is getting off under a. full head of steam Convinced by the oft reiterated statements that undue restrictions wills not he irlposed, the DeODlG are entnuS16SllCdllA tnitTinE into the spirit of electione eering. Thou sands paraded the streets today in honor of Madero while other crowds held meetings where speeches were made in favor of Reyes. The saloons were ordered closed and soldiers were stationed in various parts of the capi tai to aid the police in repressing any disorders, but the service of neither were required.
 fc nt fn act c cd by the conference of Madero and Reyes at Tehuacan. Madero has bitterly ar raigned Reyes on the charge of foment- ing dscord among the people by in- fluencing the army, and Reyes has re- piled with scathing comment. Partisans of both men-and so far the race has been even, between them-have in dulged in verbal and printed invectives and accusations not frequently surpass- ed in an American campaign.
 Orators sing the praises of their leaders and condemn alleged weak nesses of the others, while printing shops are kept busy getting out cam paign literature.
 Campaign Vigorous
 Madero last night indulged in a lit- tie boasting He declared his belief in his success and estimated that he would receive far more than 75 per cent more votes than Reyes. Supporters of Madero will not be surprised If his per centage in the capital falls off consid- erably, but insist that his real strength lies in the country. In many of the small towns the people scarcely know the name of any other candidate. Be- lieving that the rural districts are free from any ''Cientificos'' influence, his party leaders promise him an almost solid vote.
