WANTS YES OR NOIBEGIN new REVOLT
On Eve of Mexican Election
Felix Diaz Secedes.
DenOunces Aqua Prieta Plan
Demands 1857 Constitution.

Mexico City, Sept. 4.-Revolution-
ary activity by followers of Felix Diaz,
nephew of former President Porfirio
Diaz, has been begun in the vicinity
of Misantla. state of Vera Cruz, ac-
cording to press dispatches received
from Jalapa last night. Diaz, who
was leader of a revolt in the state of
Vera Cruz against the Carranza gov,
ernment has not been active since that
regime was overthrow. and it has
been understood he had reached an
agreement with present de facto au-
thorities.
Reports state that Diaz refuses to
recognize the Aqua Prieta plan" re-
pudiates the present government and
declares he will fight to restore the
constitution of 1857.
Mexican voters thruout the re-
public will go to the polls to-
morrow to choose their president

names of two candidates will appear
on the ballot, Alvaro Obregon, leader
of the recent revolution, and A. Robles
Dominsuez, who is sponsored by the
national Republican party and has
strong Catholic support.
Little interest is being taken in the
balloting, however. as the election of
ity is considered a certainty. Out of
a voting population of about two mill
lion. ii is not expected more than $780,
600 persons will go to the polls.
Troops will be stationed at impor-
tant voting places thruout the country
to prevent clashes between opposing
political factions. altho there were no
signs of serious trouble today. No
disturbances are expected to result
from the Republican party's protest
against Obregon's candidacy.
The original campaign for the Mex
lean presidency was the cause of the
revolution last May and the overthrow
of President Carranza. Carranza
sought to name as his successor Igan-
clio Bonillas, ex-ambassador to the
United States. The other candidates
were Obregon and Gen. Pablo Con-
zales. who withdrew from the race
after the revolution. Dominguez en-
tered the field only two months ago.
Official counting of the ballots by
the chamber of deputies will not take
place until October The new presi-

tory Order Today.

Notices were posted in the Santa Fe
shops by brotherhood officers Friday
afternoon advising the men in the To-
comotive and car repair departments
to go back to the nine-hour basis

two men whose dismissal recently re-
suited in a return to the eight-hour
basis had been reinstated could not be
confirmed.
NJ j. Drury. superintendent of the
shops, said this morning that the cases
of the two men are still under discus
sion.
Union men stated that the two dis
charged employees had been Te-netated
and will receive pay for all the time
they have been idle. The men are not

more cars for hauling Kansas crops
When the two men were discharged
and company officials refused to re-
instate them the unions returned TO
the eight-hour schedule as retalla-
ton.
