FLORES In EARNEST

The Socialist state government of
Nucatan has sent out many paid
agents and propogandists throughout
Mexico. and probably into foreign
! countries, for the purpose of boost
ing the presidential campaign OF
Platarco Gales.
For some time Leon Ossorrio, we'll
known character in Mexican politics.
has been attacking the candidacy of
General Gales in the most influential
Havana papers. His fight against
Gales has been based upon his con-
nection with red" activities. Lately
the Havana papers have charged
Gales with being anti-American for
political purposes. stating that at one
time before he entered politics Don
Plutarco was closely allied with the
mining interests in Cananea. and was
the head Of the indicate that brought
strike breakers into Sonora TO COM
bat the labor syndicates. They even
90 so far as to say VIXEN he was
governor of Sonora under Carranza
he ordered the foremost Socialist lead
er, Lazaro Gutierrez de Lara. who was
the author of "Barharous Mexico"
and other publications. executed for
melting the labor element in Sonora
to strike.
The same papers say that Gales
and the anti-American element in
Mexico are to charge that Mexico
made many concessions to the United
States to obtain recognition and that
Gales is TO conduct his campaign sor
the presidency on an anti-American
platform fer home consumption.
Flores Has Announced.
The candidacy of Angel Flores. who.
according to Mexico City papers, has
accepted nomination from several
sources. would indicate to some that
Flores IS really in earnest. and that
his candidacy will seriously interfere
with the aspirations of Gales: that
Angel Flores can demand Obregon's
support.
Oregon and De Ia Huerta left
Mexico City for a pleasure jaunt TO
Vera Cruz and cruise on the gulf.
for the purpose of avoiding delega-
lions. visitors. and others who desired
to discuss toe recognition treaties.
For PURPOSES OF little rest they left
Mexico City the very day after recog-
milton was announced Mt Washington.
and have not discussed International
matters with anyone.
In Mexican circles it is believed
that from this cruise of Oregon and
De la Huerta, some big politics will
come and that if they decide that |
neither one of them will seek the |
presidency at this time they will an
nounce to whom they will throw their |
support.
1t is not believed that General Angel |
Flores will remain a candidate if |
there is any possibility of De la
Huerta becoming a candidate or if !
President Oregon should seek re-elcc. |
ton.
Flores Would Beat Gales.
However. if Gales reL.ains in the |
running, and every indication at !
present points to the conclusion that |
the man that is the next president of |
Mexico will have to beat Don Plu- |
tarco, 1t would appear that Angel |
Flores will stand on the platform |
Anything to Beat Gales" and that |
such stand would produce the CON
