 | There are others who do not hesi- tate to express their belief that he will attempt to return at the head of a revolutionary army, but his per- sonal and political friends indignant ly deny such assertions.
 Peon del valle, appearing to be entirely familiar with the generals intentions, decalres that the depar- ture of Reyes does not mean the disruption of the party he left be- hind him. He says that the party will hence forward be known as the republican party and that it will con- tinue to fight in future minor con- tests and be prepared for the next national election, always presuming that the voters will be given guar antees."
 In some quarters there is a ten dency to connect the departure of General Reyes with that of Emilio Vasquez Gomez, deposed minister oi the interior. He is at Laredo, but friends of his say he expects to go to New York. He is the nominee ol three small parties for the presi- dency. He incurred the displeasure of the provisional government and of Madero by his dilatory methods of mustering out ldhe revolutiaary forces.
 Mexicans in the capital will De placed upon their honor to conduct the national election next Sunday in an orderly manner. Ignacio Rivera, governor of the federal district, has issued a statement saying that the saloons will not lbep closed earlier that day than usual, and that no spe- cial measures will be taken to main- tain order. Governor Rivera was led to adopt this method by the success of its application on June ', waen Francisco 1. Madero returned to the capitol following the termination oi the revolution. In public manifesto at that time tine governor of the district appealed to the people tC show they were capable of sef gov ernment and the results were wholly satisfactory to the authorities. Re- ports from he circle" about whlcl Madero is swinging with Pino Suarez in his wake, indicate that the presl- dential nominee is working with fev-i erish activity to inspire the people with some of his confidence in Pino Suarez' candidacy for the vice pres Idency. Here in the capitol how ever, Francisco de la Barra and Francisco Vasquez Gomez, both dan gerous rivals of the Yucatecan appear to be doing little or nothing to im- prove their chances.
 q am too busy to do any cleo tiopeering," said Gomez.
 T don't want to think about it.. said De La Barra.
 The first continues at his work in the department of public instruc- tion. of which he is minister. doing routine work ordinarily done by 8 state superintendent of schools while the other fills in the daylight hours and many of those of the night
 in performance of the duties of chiel executive.
 The facts appear to be that Vas quez Gomez is content to leave his selection to dhe people. confident in their choice, while De La Barra per- haps would really regret 1t should the people name him as Madero's lieutenant.
 It is no secret that some of Dc La Barra's closest frieids would be sincerely disappointed if he is elected for they are looking ahead to the time when the nation must choose q successor to Madero. If the Madero administration adheres to the pledges it will bring about an amendment to the constitution making 1t impossible for the vice president to be eligible to the presi- dency as well as for the president to be reelected. De La Barra's ele- ction to the vice presidency would prevent the people from giving him 'hc more important position.
 It is not impossible fthat ilhis contingency may be the reason for De La Barras reluctance to accept the honor Ule cathollc party ap- pears determined to force upon him. Under the laws of this country, he cannot but accept ;ifj elected, but should he receive anything less than majority in the electoral college and should none of the candidates get the coveted 51 per cent of the votes cast and the decision then rests with the chamber of deputies it is not impossible that De La Barra
