over the ghosts of their former Areat-

the prospects Of having something to

knows its man. Behind the candidacy
Of Calvin Coolidge is the mighty pow
er Of American finarce and while the
money kings will make the best of

possible grace, whichever capitalist
politician finds his way into the White

MEXICAN LABOR
SUPPORTS CHOICE
OF TWO EVILS
Gales Only Promising
But Flores Worse
BY E. c. WOLFE.

Federated Press Staff Correspondent
MEXICO CITY, June 12.-Plutarco
Elias Gales is a sure winner in the
Mexican presidential election July 6,
with the united il not overenthusiastic
! support of almost all the workers and
peasants
Gen. Gales is supported by the
Mexican Federation of Labor, by over
80 per cent OF all the peasants, by
part Of the anarcho-syndicalis work
ers, part of the railroad workers, by
large part of the bureaucracy who
believe he will be elected and wish to
preserve their jobs under the new adj
ministration. The second candidate,
Angel Flores, is the candidate of the
large landowners, the employers and
the Catholic church.
Gales Makes Promises.
Gales pledges himself to continue
the repartition of commentaries but
more effectively. Under the Obregon
government $500 villages were given
common lands, but this was not fol
lowed up with distribution of farm
machinery, nor with money to intensi-
fly production which means that the
handling Of the agrarian problem by
Obregon was practically a failure,
Gales pledges machinery and money.
He pledges himself also to encourage
investment Of capital but to protect
the workers. He pledges faithful car
rying out of articles 1923 and 1877 of
the Mexican constitution.
However, neither the workers nor
the peasants have absolute faith in
Gales. But between Flores and Cal
les the workers and peasants of Mex
leo cannot hesitate,
Fair to Both Sides?
Flores pledges himself to protect
the big landholders. Flores also be-
lieves in the right to strike, but that
the workers on strike have no right
to prevent other workers from filling
their jobs. He pledges excellent con-
cessions to capital; also more Sc
sure position for the Catholic Church.
The Mexican Federation of Labor
has membership Of 100000, all for
Gales. The General Confederation
(anarcho-syndicalist) has $4,000. Its
attitude is anti-political. but It does
not control more than $4,000 OF these
members, SO that about 10000 are pro

GREAT CHORUSES
FILL COLISEUM
With MELODIES
Singing Societies Hold
18th Celebration

The tremendous ocean OF sound
from the 5000 voices Of the mixed
chorus Of the assembled German sing
ing societies of the country, swelling
in the strains of the finale Of die
Meistersinger," made magnifcently
impressive conclusion to the first
program of the seventy-hfth anniver-
sary Of the Saengerbund and left the
Coliseum audience thrilled as 1t
poured out into the perfect spring
night.
The other song which most stirred
the great crowd was YDu Hirte Is
raels" (Bortinsky). sung and repeat
ed as an encore by the mixed chorus
The quiet, strong melody filled the
ugly building with pure sound beauty.
With 1000 singing the Tannhaeu-
ser Pilgrims Chorus" the old ia
vorite could not fail to thrill the re-
sponsive hearers. nor could the "Hal-
lelujah" from 1.-THE Messiah" sung by
5000 mixed voices
Symphony Splendid.
The simple excellence Of the Chi
cago Symphony orchestra, led by
Frederick Stock, added a great deal
to the pleasure of the evenings offer
ings, altho the fineness of the open
ing number from die Meistersing-
err" played by the orchestra, was
somewhat lost in the disturbance Of
late arrivals and unfinished CONVEX
sations
Nine. Marie Sundelius, Swedish so
prano, and Alexander Kupnis, basso
of the Civic opera, were the soloists.
BY contrast to the perfectly unified
volume of the choruses, and because
of poor acoustics, the soloists' voices
were thin. The unaccompanied male
chorus was one of the finest disci-
plined musical instruments one could
wish to hear. The conducting Of VIII
helm Reckzeh and OF William Boep-
pier was all that could be desired.
Dever Has His Word.
The interruption of speeches in the
middle may have been necessary, and
probably was satisfying to the many
visiting Germans but to the rest it
was annoying. The flag display of
the various societies meant most to
them. The greetings of Mayor Deyer
may have appealed to some, but one
could not but think how his praise of
the wholly admirable great German
spirit" as shown in the preservation
of the old folk songs by these singing
societies would not have pleased the
hysterical war maniacs of not so
many years ago. He concluded very
Itruthfully: Il hope your stay in Chi
cago will be profitable as we'll as
pleasurable. l know it will be profit
able for Chicago" The infection he
gave to profitable" almost twisted it
into dollar sign.
The Saengerbund almost outdid t.
self in decorating the hall and the out
side of the Coliseum with American
flags.
Concerts were held yesterday after
noon and evening and will be held
this afternoon and evening. One OF
the most appealing numbers will be
the songs sung by the chorus of 1000
children.

DOCTORS TELL
OF GRATING in
MEDICAL TRADE
''Pig-Head" Politicians
Aid Stealing

1.-THE malevolent pigheads who
make our laws and the cuckoo execu-
tiyes who veto any beneficial bills
that happen to slip thru have got to
be taught by severe measures If pro
gressive medical legislation is to get
anywhere" said DR.. Allan Nelson,
representing the state of California at
the meeting of the bureau for medical
legislation of the American Medical
Association, at 5S5 North Dearborn
st.
"A medical practice law was, by
some miracle, forced thru the last
session OF the California legislature.
Powerful Hobbies of quaoks and of
groups benefited By the practice of
Quackery effected a quick combina-
ton, with the result that the bill was
vetoed"
ProVlneIalIsm and ProfiteerIns.
Middle class provincialism and stu
pidity, combinations of manufacturers
who in some way derive profit from
disease and suffering, inertia of city
and state officials, red tape procedure,
IN whose tangles bills get lost, and
politics" are the factors responsible
for the standstill to which medical
legislation has been brought, for the
fact that, as DR.. w. H. woodward of
Chicago said in his Introductory adj
dress. medical legislation is cas- far
on the road today as it was when this
bureau met for the first time in 1921"
Here are few Of the accomplish
ments" which these forces have
brought about within the past year:
Legislators Bought.
Bought legislators in New York
state caused the failure of a medical
practice act, providing for means Of
securing and presenting evidence
against takers. Immense sums of
money spent by lobbyists were re-
sponsible. Attempts to take prosecu-
ton in such cases out of the hands of
the dishonest district attorneys and to
turn It over to impartial agencies
were defeated. Anti-vivisection laws,
which would have put stop to ex-
perimentation of any sort on any ami
NAL barely escaped passage.
Christian Scientists and members
Of other religious and semi-religious
cults worked to secure the passage of
characterization laws in Denver. A
terrific outbreak of smallpox was the
only thing that prevented their sue
cess.
Circus Graftere.
Criminal negligence" was the way
in which Dr. Woodward EXPRESSED
himself when he asked for his opinion
Of the passage of Barnes circus
beasts across the borders Of Arizona
during the time Of the epidemic Of
hoof and mouth disease.
Physicians who use their diplomas
as a means of entrance into the boot
logging profession were denounced by
the house of delegates of the Ameri-
can Medical association yesterday
Promiscuous prescriptions of liquor
and the self-administered drug treat
ment of addicts were vigorously de-
nounced in resolutions acted upon by
the house
Negro Housing Segregation.
For the Negro, health problems are
badly complicated by the discrimina-
lions which he meets in trying to find
suitable quarters" said DIR. Henry H.
Boone, Negro physician of Chicago's
south side. Wherever conditions are
crowded there is sure to be poor san
itation and an increase of disease.
Negroes are hard hit by discrimina-
ton such as is practiced in nearly all

than half of its membership is for
Gales. Similar conditions exist among
the carmen of the capital
The million active members Of the
National Peasants organization can
muster 80 per cent of the peasants for
Gales; the other 10 per cent are con-
trolled by leaders who have had per-
sonal differences with Gales and will
swing their constituents away. The
only labor organizations opposed to
Gales are the Catholic unions (of
which there are quite a number in the
country which are controlled by the
priests.
Congress Counts Votes.
With such a lineup Gales victory
would be certain were it not that the
congress of Mexico counts the votes.
In this congress Gales has not an as
sured majority, and most of the rep
,esentatives are quite INSCRIPTIONS.
In the senate the Gales sympathizers
are even fewer than in the house
and to the senate is left the ratifica-
ton Of the election.
It is said that should the house
count enough votes to elect Gales,
and should the senate ratify, that the
landholders will start another revolt
to impose Angel Flores. Rumors are
current that the large landholders
have made preparations in the north
of the country, and that is the rea-
son that Obregon has suddenly left
the capital to go to Sonora.
