The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-02-25

1t is likely that there are few
chapters Of that tragedy still to be
written. The bodies have been re-
moved from the penitentiary, pending
the transference of Madero's to the
family home at San Pedro de Los
Pinos, in the state of Coahuila, and
that of Suarez to Yucatan, permis-
sion already having been granted.
One afternoon paper in Mexico City
denies the stories of the attack on
the Madero guard, alleging that the
affair was carried out in accordance
with prearranged plans, but the Mexi-
can government appears honest in it's
endeavor to place the facts before the
world by means of judicial investi-
cation. This investigation probably
will not be concluded for several
days.
Politicians at Work
Already the politicians are turning to
the elections. 1t Is said that Gen. Felix
Diaz win have as his opponents in his
candidacy for the presidency, Francisco
DE La Barra, the present minister of
foreign relations; Rodolfo Reyes, son of
Gen. Bernardo Reyes, who was killed in
the first attack on the palace, and DR..
Francisco Vasquez Gomez. Friends have
begun {, campaign in. behalf Of these
various candidates.
Holding of the elections will depend upon
the state OF the. country, but President
Iiuerta insists upon a free choice of the
people when peace is restored, which will
make this possible.
