Mexico City. Sept 2.-Jose Pino Su- arez, governor of the state of Yucatan.
 tonight was nominated for vice presi- dent of Mexico on the ticket. with Ma dero, over Dr. Francisco Vasquez Go

 delegates did not vote on the last bal

 Of the man with the majority. The nomination Of Suarez followed
 the refusal of the minority to cast bal
 lots for either Gomez or Suarez and the calling before convention of Madero
 to defend his relations with Gomez. The head of the ticket was subject cd to grilling by the delegates but after frankly expressing his disapprov- | al of Dr. Gomez he adroitly turned the | tables on the dissatisfied element by 7 putting them on record to support the

 An ovation was rendered Madero as
 he entered the hall. It indicated that ] the selection of the vice president the

 that at no time had he supported Sua-
 reg saving he had absolutely no choice between the two candidates and was willing to accept any man the conven- tion named.
 The applause had not ceased when
 Madero, raising his hand. demanded a promise from the delegates tC abide

Now. no one at | tempts to deny he has lost much of his popular influence and that General l Bernardino Reyes is a formidable riv- al. The actual fight for presidential votes begin tomorrow. when the nom inee of the progressives leaves for a ! long tour through the south, beginning at Pueblo. He will not make many speeches of a set character, due prob

 of the highest class. But Madero is ob- | liging and has as yet not disappointed
 crowd when it has yelled for his ap- lpearance.
 He plans to return to the capital in
 ample time for an attack on the strong
 holds of Reyes.
 Partisans of Madero regard Chihua hua. Sonora and Sinaloa safe, while
 Neuve Leon and Tamalpais are doubt full Madero insists he will have a large majority in Neuve Leon, where
 Reyes was governor many years. It !s regarded as probable that Madero's es. innate of Reyes strength in the north 1 is correct, and that the latter's heaviest
 vote will come from the south. This may account for Madero's first incur sion into that district Gomez and one or two others still insist they will be candidates for the presidency, but up
 to the present it seems likely that Ma
 dero and Reyes will be the two leading candidates.
 Reyes has no party backing. but the order of his candidacy was conducted in proper form. A convention of the
 Reyesites is called for September 10, when a running mate will be selected. It is almost certain the campaign will be conducted on an economy basis as neither side has any money to speak of
 for expenses. Most of the workers car
 " on the campaign in their districts at their own expense.
