ISOLATED Press. --Adolfo de la
Huerta, former secretary of the
treasury and co-operatists candi-
date for the Mexican presidency,
Thursday for the first time severe
ly criticized publicly the pre-elec-

In a statement issued at Vera Cruz,
Senior de la Huerta says:
President Obregon has been
considered a highly talented man
but at present he is supplying proof
to the contrary, being enclosed
within a limited iron circle, pierced
only by what serves the interests
of those intimates who surround
him.
If President Obreson does rot
control his passions his end I'M
doubtedly will be similar 10 those
who before have been misguided.
He could still be considered a
superman should he correct his-con-
duct and show himself able to stamp
out hatred.

sidered traitors and would not be
able to absolve ourselves for blame
for Carranza's disappearance #. we

Baldwin and j. Ramsey Mcdonald,
labor leader, were reelected in the
English elections Thursday. Wins
ton Spencer Churchill and Arthur
Henderson, prominent laborites,
were defeated. Lady Aston also
won her place. The Lancanshire
manufacturing center voted over
whelmingly against the govern
ment's protection proposal.
The conservative majority over
all other parties has been definitely
wiped out. Lloyd George, regard
ed as a liberal, and Herbert As
quith, leader Of the liberal party,
barely got in, returns show.
England cast one Of the heaviest
votes in her history Thursday, amid
circumstances so zestful and color
full that the day assumed nation
al, gala character unique in gen
eral elections.
The headquarters of all thr ,e
contesting parties-the conserva-
tives, the liberals and the laborites
were confident of returning large
representations in parliament. How
ever. the conservatives, under Pre-
mier Baldwin, virtually were as
sured of a majority during the ear
ly stages. The main question WIS
whether this majority would be
sufficiently large to enable the gov
eminent to carry its tariff pro-
gram in the house of commons.
With the immediate future Of
the United Kingdoms commercial
prosperity depending on the elec-
ton, and its effects on protection
versus free trade, many Britishers
who had not voted for years wort
