SIX CANDIDATES
 FOR PRESIDENCY
Carranza Not Eligible Un- der Mexican Con
 stitution.

Washington, April 18-Six candi- dates are in the field for the presi- dency of Mexico at the election in July 1920, despite President Car ranza's request that politics be put aside for the present, advices from Mexico City received here today said. The successful candidate will take of flee December 1, after the election. President Carranza, himself, is not eligible to reelection under the con stItution, but two members of his cabinet are candidates. Public opin- ion in Mexico divides the candidates into two classes, civil and military with the latter said to be the more popular.
 The candidates already in the field, either personally or through their friends. are General AlvarO Obregon, General Pablo Gonzalez, and General l Salvador Alvarado on the military side; andgLuis Cabrera, Felix Palavi- cinI and Aguirre Berlanga, on the civilian side.
 General Obregon's popularity rests largely on the fact that he is the only officer who has defeated the bandit Villa in battle It IS reported that he is more friendly toward the United States than formerly.
 General Gonzales directed the op- erations which resulted recently in the defeat and death of the ban6St leader Zapata. He Is friendly toward the United States.
 General Alvarado Is known princt- pally for his administration of Yu- catan, where he put. state sociadsnF into operation. |,
 Luis Cabrera, who was appointed secretary of finance recently, has been known to be hostile to the Uni ted States and failed utterly in his efforts during the war to align the other Ia1in-American countries against this country. Since then he has publicly stated that his eyes have been opened and he does not consider the United States a. foe of Mexico.
 BerlahEa, as minister of the inter for. has charge of all the electoral ma chinery. He is reported to have been strong gIy pro German during the war.
 Felix Palavicini is the editor of Fl Universal and was consistently pro Ally throughout the war. He carried his campaign against the German in- f1uence to such an extreme that he was forced to flee the country, and was not permitted to return until the armistfce was signed.
