and declares that under the regime of
Diaz more consideration was given
Madero himself when he organized n
manifestation in the capital In 1910
than was accorded yet to General
REYES.
While Madero in public statement
deprecated the riot. he explained that

that his ticket would have the support

Popular opinion in the capital seems
to be that the refusal Of the people to
permit Reyes TO speak would make
friends for Reyes and react on the
Madcristas.
