Mexico city May 21.-Those familiar with
political conditions in Mexico express the
opinion that the greatest issue Of all In the

party of the Church. and the Liberals, by
nroclaiming themselves believers In the
laws of the reform. line themselves up as
opnosed TO the Church. The laws OF me
reform are those promulgated by Benito
.Juarez when he divorced Church and state
Unless Madero should be put forward by
enc of these parties. his success might ne

election.
An interesting phase of the situation Is
the birth Of another political party Pro-
motors of this fourth party style them

nary prominence are connected WIN H.
Their propaganda carries the promise tnat
they will do all in their power to maintain
