REVOLUTIONARIES
ARE IN CONTROL OF
STATE OF OAXACA
Politics in Mexico Again
Comes to the Fore
front.

Mexico City papers confirm pre-
vious reports that General Manue
Dieguez and his troops had reached
lthe State of Oaxaca and joined The
forces of General Fortunate May
cote and General Garcia Vigil. The
rebel nucleus in the State of OaxacI
is thus greatly strengthened by this
army, which will undoubtedly control
the State of Oaxaca. The activities
of General Marcelo Cavazos in the
State of Hidalgo have also been very
active recently. :.
The same papers report n battle
at Mafafa in the State of Vera Cruz,
between forces Of Gonzales Escobar
end the rebel general. Guadalupe San
chez. There were many casualties IN
both sides.
The exact conditions in Southern
Mexico are not definitely known but
il is not believed that the Obfgon
forces have advanced further than
Puerto Mexico, although it is reported
that the former governor. Vallejo, is
now at Laredo. Tex, having been re-
moved by Candida Aguilar. who is in
charge of operations in Tabasco, I'M
der appointment of De la Huerta.
Reports from Mexico City are that
the political horizon is again full OF
intrigue. Recently Raul Madero, who
has withdrawn from the presidential
race and is now sponsoring Angelic
Flores candidacy, handed long COM
inunication directly to President Obre-
gon in which Flores demanded certain
guarantees and privileges for his par
tisans, whom Madero claimed were be-
ing prosecuted by government officials
throughout Mexico.
While nobody believes that Madero
or Flores will revolt or take any ag-
gressive steps against the Obregon
government. it only leads many to be-
lieye that President Obregon will not
allow any more propaganda of any
sort in Mexico. neither for Flores nor
for Elias Gales.
On the other hand. many Of the
Elias Gales congressman are purpose
ly absenting themselves from Con-
gIess, so as to break quorum and
not act on the constitutional reforms
advocated by President Obregon. one
of them dealing directly with the pres
idential succession. in which President
Obregon seeks TO have the presidential
term extended for two more years.
1t is also reported that the recent
meeting of Caliista governors was to
discuss the stand to be taken in case
Obregon demanded the withdrawal of
Elias Gales at this time. II was
decided TO suggest TO General Gales,
that in view OF the fact that the Sou
orian Triumvirate was broken by the
DE la Huerta revolt. Elias Gales could
reconcile himself to wait two more
years, and if President Oregon would
agree to allow General Gales TO name
ali the principal jobs with his friends
and partisans. that it would be best
for them. Otherwise. Oregon would
either form a political alliance with
the Cientificos or else another military
movement would ensue in which So
norism would be crushed in Mexico.
aud in all probability the old Cientif-
leo element would control the situa-
tion with q man like Carlos Zetina or
some former member of the old DiaS
regime.
However. Elias Gales resigned from
the army preparatory to again aSsum-
ing his propaganda tour throughout
the republic. aud everybody is wait
ing for Gales next move of either
submission or aggression.
