the south, lined up to work for him.
Most of these chiefs resented the ac-
ton of Madero in lending moral sup
port to president de Ia Barra when
Lie Vazquez was removed from the
cabinet. Just how far these leaders
can control their following is an un-
known quantity.
The Centre Antireelectionista de-
cfded to name Lie. Vazquez as it's pres
idential candidate. and then within 48
hours suddenly took another tack and
named DR.. VaZquez Gomez as its can
didate. with president de la Barra as
candidate for vice president
1t was only when the leaders dis
covered that the joke was on them
that the original action was rescfnded..
Each of the brothers had his following,
but when the questions Of candidates
came UP before the club, Emelio Vaz-
quez won out and it was intended at
the next meeting to name de la Barra
to complete the ticket At the next
meeting several club leaders pointed
out that the club had split with Ma
dero because he had refused to abide
by the 1910 antireelectionist ticket. and
that now the club itself was throwing
over the man on whose account they
had separated from the leader Of the
revolution. 1t is pointed out that such
action would make the antireeleotion-

the butt of the joke, the new ticket

AS a protest against an election
which they charge would be unfair, the
delegates agreed not to nominate
vice president As the convention was
called in the name Of Bernardo Reyes.
1t was deemed unnecessary to place
him in formal nomination
That 1t Is possible congress will ac-
cede to the petition is conceded by
Madero. who in anticipation Of the
action of the Reyistas, sent commune
cations to congress bitterly opposing
such action.
The resolution of the Reyistas has

other minor groups.

Madero Fights Delay.
1t is to be expected that the Ma

strength, will vigorously fight post
