 Beyond Doubt MAJORITY IS LARGE
The President elect Shows Only a Casual Interest in the Voting. De La Barra Second in Vice
 Presidential Race

Mexico City, October 1i.-Lacldng only the ceremonies of the inauguration fran' cisco I. Madero is president of the Re- public of Mexico. By vote of the cleo
 toral college which was practically nnan' imous he was officially nominated.
 Jose Pino Suarez without doubt will be
 the vice president if he Is not already such So far the results of the election
 indicate that he received a majority but
 should this prove to- be a mistake there
 is now no reasonable doubt that the
 chamber of deputies will name him as Madero's lieutenant over Francisco L.
 De La Barra who obtained second place
 in the vote of the electoral college.
 Francisco vasquez Gomez was hope lessly distanced
 Madero who one year ago was planning his revolution which began on November 20 and culmnated in the overthrow of the
 Diaz regime, which had endured for more
 than 45 years, today manifested but
 casual interest in the outcome of the
 election. His last opponent was elilni-
 mated when General Bardnardo Reyes
 fled from the country.
 
 who has contracted habit of riding
 horseback took a long ride into the coln- try and spent the remainder of his hours
 in his home, where he received messages
 regarding the election and chiefly of a
 congratuiatory nature.
 Tonight, accompanied by Sonora Ma
 aero, his constant companion since the day he was thrown into jail in 1910 for daring to oppose Porfirio Diaz, both left for a trip through the northern part Of the republic terminating at San Pedro de Lascilonias, a little town in Coahuiia, where Madero was born 3S years ago. In the morning he arrives in San Luis Potos from where they will go to Monte- rey Wednesday, passing the remainder of the week there It is possible his return to the capital may be delayed un- til about the time for his inauguration in November.
 In few scattering votes perhaps ldo were cast for other candidates for the
 presidency, among them Porfirio Diaz to
 whom some admirers in Coyocan gave one vote. Emilio Vasquez Gomez. Who was nominated for the presidency sby8a dis affected group of the anti-reselecti ton ists. was remembered by an elector here and there.
 It was impossible, however, to say how large the vote has been. Under the clec- toral law of, division there should be 2D, ,00O members of the electoral college. It is probable that, at the general elections october 1st more than 25,000 were named but a number did not qualify, and still
 the actual vote will fall short of his
 number. se54. yS ,S es M~ a, De La Barra's principal strength was in the state of Jalsco but the surprise came when it was Alsarned he had los, the capitals of Puebla and Queretara, both regarded as strongholds of the Catholic church. Tn both of these places
 Pino Suarez ran far ahead. The state
 of Vera Cruz appears to have been di- vided in its choice between Vasquez Co.,
 mez who won in the port city and De La Baira, who boiled majority in Orizaba. | Pino Suarez himself is in Merida, cap- | tai of Yucatan, where he was recently elected governor. He telegraphed to Ma aero, claiming to have won a majority in 1 that state in Campeche, Tabasco and he territory of Quintana Roo.
 | It is not impossible that when the final 1 total is reached Pino Suarezs lead may | be greatly reduced, Hundreds of smlli l towns in rural districts remain to be heard from and since many of .hese l are not reached by telegraph the result l cannot be known for several days. 1 The progressives are basing their be- l, lief that their candidate is beyond all
