MEXICO HAS ''uD''
SCANDALS OF pIAz GOVERNMENT Mt
NOT PERMITTED TO REACH
THE PEOPLE.
sMadero Strongest Candidate For Presi
dency Though Many Strong
Opponents Remain--Discon-
tent Continues.

Mexico City, July l.-7Evtl doors
Of governmental scandals will not be
permitted to reach the nostrils OF
afexico's public after the election at
any rate, If De la Barra and Francis
20 |. Madero can prevent it. Both the
president pro tenn and the man who
Expects to be president after Deem
Der / are standing bby the sealed jar
Of discords,. ready to shoe away any
meddlesome person who would I'M
screw the cover.
"In the name of the government
thank you, sir, for the bravery you
displayed and for the valiant defense
Tou made at Juarez," said the min
ster of war when General Navarro
reported. The incident is typical OF
the desire of the present government
not 10 encourage rancorous feeling
Unofticialiy 1t was charged THAT the
Federal soldiers had been supplied
with worthless ammunition. 1t is
probable that no official investiga
ion will be made True or not, it is
feature OF the past and De Ia Barra
nd Madero are dealing with things
u the present and planning for the
future.
Not yet has any of the newly or
ganized parties placed In the field q
ppromise to defeat Madero. Almost
all the parties formed SO far differ
but little and all agree ON the essen
ials advocated by Madero, thus
leaving them nothing but a personal
ssue. 1t remains 10 be seen what
he conservative part of the popula
ion viii do. Even though Limantour
Iacedo and others Of the group com
monty styled the "Cientificos" have
left the country there remain many
of the business mems element which
they represented and it is not improb.
abble that in time this part of the
public will prove danger to the lib
eral wing led by Madero. That they
can muster their forces in time to
prove a serious menace before Octo-
Der 8, the day Of the election IL MOI
CONSIDERED likely. BY most residents
Of the capital 1t Is considered that
Madero's greatest danger lies within
himself If the election were today
there is scarcely any doubt that he
would be chosen almost without on
position. He is the idol of the pep.
Ole now but there are those who
would lay traps for him and his
close friends are warning htm against
the danger of being led into any in
discretion.
In the state of Veracruz there is
a small band of ex-rebels who fought
Under Gavira who display signs OF
Indignation whenever one praises
them for the manner in which they
respected property rights during the
war. One of the duties of these men
was to hold up trains on the Mexican
railway when 1t was thought General
Bernardo Reyes was coming to the
capital ahead OF time. Never did
they rob passenger of so much as a
watch. Their Instructions were to
look for Reyes and to detain the
train no longer than was necessary.
One night train they had stopped
carried as express a magnificent sad
die horse. The little grgoup of rebels
looked enviously at animal and sug-
gested to Gavira that since it prob
ably was the property Of some federal
officer 1t would be legitimate contra
band Of war Gavira laughed at the
idea,,, insisted that il doubtless was
the horse of private citizen and Or
dered them not to modest 1t. General
Rcycs now rides that horse. II was
his favorite saidler and had been
shipped by him from Paris.
President de la Barra is learning
that the chief executive is supposed
70 do more than perform the duties
Of 2 conntry's general manager. I'm
