TIE parcels post would bring the
small producer into touch with the
consumer, and thereby cut down the
high cost of living. The parcels
post would wipe out the possibility
of postal deficit and provide reye-

post would be more convenient
to the rural population than the
express service Is. And the parcels

REYES AGAINST MADERO.
virtually Candidate for President OF
Mexico Disorder Everywhere.

MONTEREY. Mexico. July 23.-Gen.
Bernardo Reyes has refused to discoun-
tenance the efforts that are being made
by his political friends over the country
to nominate him for the Presidency. This
significant information came here to-
day direct from Gen. Reyes. His new
stand at this critical period in the his
tory OF the country was taken when Fran
cis Madero is said to have directed him
to issue another public statement declar-
ing loyalty to his candidacy for the Presi-
dency. ..
Gen. Reyes refused to comply with
Madero's request and in response to a
direct question as to his future political
tempt to control further the acts Of his
friends. This is taken TO be equivalent
to n declaration Of his candidacy.
Gen Reyes is said to be fully convinced
that Nladero il not equal to the task of
restoring order in the disturbed parts
of the country. Anarchy and revolution
prevail in many OF the States and the
situation is srapidly becoming more serious.
The army is worse than useless. Not
only is it ineffective in quelling seditious
uprisings, but whenever force Of
armed Federals meets body of armed
Maderists blood flows
Several thousand Maderists still bear
ing arms are refusing to comply with
Madero's disarmament order. The Ma
gonist rebel movement ia gaining ground
very fast in several States. particularly
Coahuila. Durango. Sonora and Chihua-
hua, because of the chaotic condition that
exists in the army
The new Government Is making no
effort to put down the Magonists. Open
talk OF aD armed uprising of the Reyes
element To place their candidate in Office
is now heard here and in other parts Of
the country. According to one report the
Cientifico party will give its temporary
support to Reyes in order to Gust Madero
from his position of political power.

success a. Ways and Means Chairman
the Reason for the Decision some
suspicion That the boom Il Really
In the Interest Of Champ Clark.


WASHINGTON July 23.--A new Demo
cratic Presidential boom has appeared in
town. 1t envelops the graceful form OF
Representative Oscar W. Underwood OF
Alabama. chairman OF the Committee
on Ways and Means. This boom has the
backing of the Alabama delegation in
Congress each and every man Of which
has declared that II will grow to rormid-
able proportions before many days have
passed.
According to statements made tonight
delegation to the Democratic national
convention Of 1912 shall be instructed for
MIR. Underwood. To the objection that
Mr.. Underwood comes from state too
far south to be seriously considered for
the Democratic Presidential nomination
his reply is that he was born IN Kentucky
and spent part OF his young manhood
in Minnesota.
Democrats in Washington say that Mr.
Underwood has made fine record since
the party came into the control OF the
House They point out that he put the
Canadian agreement through the House
in the form in which II came from the
hand OF the President and he passed in
jigtlme a wool hill and free list bill In
addition his friends declare Mr.. Under
wood has sized up generally "a a leader
Of national proportions, and they believe
IL the Democratic convention should de
eide to name Southern man that the
Alabamian would ill the bill
Mr. Underwood is close personal and
political friend of Speaker Champ Clark
tncle Champ is a candidate for the Presi-
dental nomination He has made no
formal announcement owing to n situation
in Missouri that is proving embarrassing
to the Clark followers. A'couple Of years
ago the Missouri Democrats in convention
assembled indor-ed former Governor
Joseph " Folk for the Presidency. Al
tina, time Mr. Clark wa. a candidate for
the Speakership and had no thought Of
the Presidency He presided at the con
vent ion that indorst.d Mr.. Folk. Accord
ingly Mr. Clark does not deem IL proper
to make n formal announcement of his
intentions Mr. Clark. friends are busy
however There ,s suspicion here that
the Underwood candidacy has been
launched in the interest Of MI Clark.
There will he loud noise ont In Lincoln.
Neh. when II hecomes known that the
Alabama delegation will ineist on Mr..
Underwood heing indorsed for the Presi-
dental nomination. Mr.. Underwood is
one Of the pet avers!ons Of William Jen-
nings Bryan When the wool bill was
under consideration by the Ways and
Means Committee Mr.. Bryan stirred up Il
good deal Of trouble bv urging his friends
to stand for free wool. Leader Under
