conclude that your vote will not

can not tell what strength his
opponent may develop, and as
there are one hundred and nine

very necessary for the counties

Commonwealth to vote solidly
for Garrett. Again we urge the
Democrats to come out next Sat-

MEXICO CITY. October 1.-The returns
from yesterdays elections that are COM
ing in slowly this morning indicate that
Gen. Madero has received practically
unanimous vote for the presidency. Few
of Gen. Reyes partisans voted. because of
their leaders withdrawal, and Madero
was the only remaining candidate who
had been regularly nominated.
No vice presidential candidate, seeming
~, had a sweeping victory. From claims
advanced by the progressives and the
Catholic party it appeared that the race
between Pine Suarez and President de la
Barra was close. but the Vasquistas are
unwilling to concede the defeat of DR..
Vasquez Gomez, claiming large gains in
Guadalajara, Zacatecas, Guanajuato,
Puebla and AguaS Calientes. The belief
is strengthened that no candidate will be
able to show a clean majority, which
would throw the election into congress.
