 This was too much for the tired Ideegates. ragardlessof faction. Crles
 or No. no.' and renewed confusion
 was evident
 It marked the conclusion of Ma dero's speech. He resumed his seat on the platform, but the delegates
 were not through with him. Luis
 Cabera an ardent supporter of Vas
 quez, secured permission to ask Ma
 dero two direct questions. Madero signified his willingness to answer lthem.
 Are there any senious reasons,
 political or otherwise, which would make it impossible for you to accept yasquez Gohhez as a running mate? Said Cabrera.
 No, there are none, Madero re- piled.
 "ls there anything Il the conduct oi iVasquez Gomez which should bar him from the racer" With some apparent reluctance.
 Madero again replied in the negH ltiye.
 His questioner retired from the stage. A few minutes later he was followed by Madero who as he left the auditorium received a repetition of the ocation that marked his arri- val.
 The situation was not altered by the visit of Madero. In last effort Ito induce the minority to vote, tne leader of the Calderon faction was called to the stage. He insisted that they would not cast their vote for lany other candidate already named, but suggested like Madero, that an other man be proposed and he suggest ed the candidacy of Federico Con gales Gaya who had been one of Ma dero's advisers during tine revolu ton and is now sub secretary of the interior deparment The delegates ihooted down the suggestion and the Iblackboards were prepared 10 re- cord tue final vote. Only the most ardent supporters of MadeEo regard his nomination as Isynonymous. Once the popular idol of perhaps s5 per cent of the MexI- cans, his selection at that time would have beeh unquestioned, but no one attempts to deny today that he has lost much Of his popularity, and tnaI General Bernardo Reyes is a formid able rivals.
 Madero's nomination by the pro- gressives has been merely matter of form due to desire on the parS of the younger and more progressive 1 element of the country to create . national political party as a part of their scheme of establishing the new l regime of self government. practi- cally campaigning for the election l was in progress many weeks before | the convention was callad, although | technically the fight for presidential votes will begin tomorrow when the i progressives' nominee leaves for a tour through the South that will begin 1 at Puebla and extend as far as Yu- atan.
 Madero says that he will not do any | electioneering in the Ameri- | can sense of the word, but this Is largely bubble over definition Of the term. He probably will not make I many speeches of a set character, | due possibly to the fact that his ora tory is not of the highest grade and | the Latin American demands choice 1 rhetoric and effective delivery in this regard.
 That he will makel rear-end talks | and hold informal meetings through out the Southern part of the repub- lic is to be expected.
 Madero is obliging and has yet to disappoint the crowd when it yelis l for his appearance.
 He plans to arrive in Yucatan on September g. It is probable he will pass less than a week there, return ing to the capitol in time to conduct an invasion into the strongholds oI Reyes which by that time should be more clearly defined that at present.
 Partisans of Madero regard Cnihua- hua, Sonora and other northern states with the possible exception of Neuva Leon, and Tamaufipas as safe.
 If Madero himself insists that he will have a large majority in Neuya Leon where Reyes was governor for so many years, as evidenced by the publication of signed statement in which he dares the general to accompany him to Monterey the state capitol. taanId 'asre make h lit- erai count of the voters intimating
