POLTTICS.S STILL
MUDDLED OVER.
THE RIO CRANDE.
Whether There Are Three or
Six Candidates in Field
Is Uncertain


MEXICO CITY, March 16.-With
the presidential election less than
five months away, the political situa-
tion in Mexico is SO obscure that il
is impossible to state definitely
whether there are three or six can
didates
President Carranza has been en-
phatic in his statements that he in
tends to retire when his term Of Of
flee expires next December. He has
declared for honest elections and
peaceful transfer of power.
A recent conference of seventeen
Mexican governors held in the ma
tional capital took cognizance of
their chiefs attitude by issuing
manifesto TO the people in which they
pledged their support to the legally
elected president The governors
conference was declared by the local
press to have deep political signifi-
canoe inasmuch as elaborate plans
were made by the executives for hold
ing elections, each governor to exer-
else complete control over the voting
in his state.
One significant part of their pro-
gram was the elimination Of the fed
eral army from politics. This was
in accord with a recent order from
the war department, made at the dl-
rection of President Capranza, to the
effect that army men must not med
die in politics.
Generals Obregon and Gonzales
are conducting vigorous campaigns
each being aided by an official news
paper. Ignacio Bonilias is an avowed
candidate although as yet he has not
forsaken his ambassadoriai duties in
Washington.
If the present administration fa-
vors one of the three announced can
didates-Obregon, Gonzales or Bonil-
Last has kept the fact carefully
concealed. Obregon and President
Carranza appear to have broken after
friendship of years standing and
FL Monitor Republican,, the Obregon
organ, is vehement in its attacks
upon the president.

LONDON, March 16.-Lord Mon

building of overhead railways and of
higher buildings. Neither streets,
