displeased with his old "compadre. "
Elias Gales. over the Minister of
Gobernacion casting the republic into
political turmoil.
!. Since Pluto Gales has taken his
political abode at Soledad de la
Nota. the pilgrimage of the political
Sangsters and "convencieros" who
always have their nose ana ear to the
ground has been wonderful. As illus
ttating an example of the idea of the
Mexican political game. about fifteen
or twenty Indian chiefs of the Iaquis
tribes in Sonora. are now at Nogales,
Sonora, awaiting permission 10 pass
over to the United States and to visit
GALES. in Nuevo Leon and discuss
politics. The strange part Of the
visit Of these Indians. is that they
wired Gales to send them two thous-
and American dollars by Western
Union. to defray the expenses of their
trip from Nogales TO Monterey. to dis
e8ss whether the Yaquis will support
him. The Cabelcilloa Gales immedi-
ateIy wired the money. and the Indian
chiefs will make their nolitical pill
grimage to the Pluto Gales mecca.
Fear Armed Conflict.
Just such matters has got on
Obregon's nerve. so it is reported that
all Of the political visitors to the
Gales headquarters have all left
with campaign sinews and Obregon,
good old politician and soldier, know
ing full well. that active. acrimon-
ious and vigilant political campaigns
for the presidency in Mexico often
times result in military coups" and
everybody is ready to- fall in and
kneel towards the "rising SUM-" The
king is dead, long live the king.
Obregon feels that he ought TO be
king for year more. and wants no
