MADERO AND HIS
POLITICAL FRIENDS
ARE PARTED

conformation. and his statement that the
minister knew nothing about 1t, puts
an end to a seemingly endless discus
sion which has been going on IN the
local press. DESPITE the specific denlais
of the former minister, many local news
papers persisted in publishing articles
with regard to the incident, inslnuatlng
in a more or less open manner that the
minister was behind the revolutionary
chiefs who drew up a threatening me-
mortal to president de la Barra and pre-
scented it to him in Chapultepec castle
on the exciting day after Lie. Nasquez
Gomez had presented his resignation IN
a letter which stated that the president
had ordered him to resign.
Candida Navarro is the only one OF
the revolutionary chiefs originally ar
rested here who is still held on the
charge of attempted sedition. The others
have been set free
Madero as a Politician.
Whether or not Francisco I. Madero
is a good politician, only the election
will decide Public opinion in the CAPT.
tai is absolutely divided on the ques-
ton and recent developments in the
presidential situation have led many
to believe that the merest ward cap
tain in an American city could give
him lessons.
Mr.. Madero has ended his somewhat
lengthy discussion with the Centre
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. by declaring that
1t might be on its way and that he was
not at all concerned about the tenn
perature at its ultimate destination.
This action is quite comparable with
q candidate for congress in factory
district saying that he did not care
for the labor vote.
Back of the rundown for the Centre
Observation-Disclosures is an interesting
political story The Centre was orig
inaIly organized by Francisco l. Ma
dero and Lie Emelio Vasquez Gomez.
late minister of gobernacion, whose
forced resignation from the cabinet
caused a large group of revolutionary
chiefs to talk of starting a new re-
volt; talk which ended in a number
being arrested by secret service
agents and placed in the penitentiary.
AS its name implies, it was the central
body for all Reelectionist clubs
In the republic and it directed the
campaign which Mr. Madero and Dr.
Francisco Vasquez Gomez made against
general Diaz and Ramon Corral
Toward the close of the revolution,
difficulties arose between Emelio Vas
quez Gomez and Francisco L Madero,
due, as Madero charged. to certain
proclamations issued by Lie. Nasquez
Gomez in his name. which, as the
revolutionary leader expressed 1t,
made me appear a fool, DR.. Vasquez
Gomez also fell into the bad graces
of certain of Madero's family-particu-
larry Gustavo-and some Of his closest
followers.
Things worked along until the in
evitable rupture came and this was
precipitated by Madero's open and
frank endorsement of the action OF
president de la Barra in separating
Lie Vasquez Gomez from his portfolio
in the cabinet.
Where the Break Came.
The Centre Anti Reelectionista
strongly Vasquez Gomez in its sympa-
thies, already had a crouch with the
revolutionary leader and moreover did
not like the treatment of the former
minister of gobernacion. The members
chose to make point of Madero's
treatment of them, however, as, when
the revolutionary chief left for Tehu-
acan, he put all of his political powers
in the hands of a committee named by
himself and consisting of his closest
personal friends, at the same time
suggesting to this committee that as
the revolution had brought about new
conditions and as the Diaz government
had conceded the Anti Reelection law
