 riculture After that he was in thel cotton plantation business on the, property of his father. Later Fran cisco went into the rubber business. but he sold all his interests to take up politics. He knew-this was ex pressed with special significance !, that he must make his wIll nrsl before he vent into politics.
 He is for a democracy. Four gr, i've years ago Francisco made a cam. | paign against the government of hisI native state, Coahuila. He supported Lie Edumeneio Fuentes. even though he was a personal enemy of our | family, because this man was for | free government. and the two divis- ions of the democratic party chose him in a convention instead of Fran cisco.
 Tn this campaign Francisco was deceived by the government system which always makes use Of frauds at elections. After that he prepared to go into the Presidential campaign. He commenced by writing a book that caused a great sensation, for people could not believe that any body in Mexico had the courage to write as he did about Diaz and his bad government. Many people had the same ideas but they were afraiF to express them. They were not able to see how my brother dared write them and put his name to them" Timely Book.
 This book, which prepared th ground for him to begin a campaign for the presidency, was called. Sue ecion Presidensial de 1910" (The Presidential Succession of 191O) The book was especially timely for 1t ap- peared just after President DIaz gave Creelman the famous interview to the effect that he would not be a candidate to succeed himself. Senor Madero handed copy to the inter viewers, who to his surprise, found it comparatively friendly in tone expressing due admiration tor all that Diaz had accomplished in building up Mexico. Then, very cleverly, the author pointed out and discussed the drawbacks of the present system of "one-man government" as united for the Mexican people.
 Al the time of writing this booA Franc. sec Madero expresseQ nrnse,i as being strongly opposed to any resort 10 arms, but subsequent ee veiopments resulting from Diaz's can didacy and his own imprisonment
 for so-called seditious statement and libel led Francisco Medero to believe that a popular form of gov ernment was to be obtained for Mex ico only by a revolution against Diaz. That his arrest did not follow the publishing of the book surprised the Mexicans and foreign residents who know Diaz and his methods. In the second edition Francisco almost boasted of the fact that nothing had as yet been done to him.
 In telling of his brothers campaign against Diaz for the presidency, Gus tavo Nadero said:
 The Campaign
 "On April 15 last year Francisco was nominated by a convention of the democratic party, for they wished to recognize what he had already done for the cause Of free government and to show the confidence they had in his ability and courage. Nobody else would go into such a dangerous position by running against Dtaz It is very easy for a man who ex- presses views against the government in Mexico to have an accident and he is no .more"-this with a gesture indicating how a knife could do deadly work.
 My brother conducted his cam paign with care, but his followers were persecuted and some were killed. Our family was menaced Friends of Diaz attacked Us in il legal ways and brought suits tha; were not honest to rob us of our J honor. In this way our father was robbed of more than a million by a company who supported the gov ernment. We did uot care so much for the money, but we couldn't stand it when they tried to take ou honor from us.
 Francisco was thrown into prison before time for the election because he criticised Diaz. Without trial be was kept in prison and the election I passed-the government made it a fraud. But Francisco escaped from prison and came to the United States to San Antonio. Then his Followers in Mexico said there must be a rev s olution and it began on Nov. 20. My brother is not a military man but he is a patriot willing to give his life and labor to his country. "The active insurrectos now mum Der about 15.O00"-and they are n0 to be discounted by half, as ar' I Mexican dollars when changed int American. The forces of the revo lution are now surrounding Chihua hua and Jaurez. A good part Of the states of Sonora and Chihuahua ar' in our hands, with the exception o
