Rubio was mentioned as provisional president.
Huerta however, was eventually named in
stead and Ortiz Rubio became secretary of COM

He continued to hold this Office under Obre-
gon, but quarreled with Gales and Huerta, who
were then secretaries of interior and finance,
respectively, over their labor policy, and as
result he left the cabinet
Later, when Ortiz Rubio was serving as AGin-
lister to Germany, he and Gales met in Berlin
and a complete reconciliation is supposed to
have taken place. err
Ortiz Rubio continued for some years in a
diplomatic career, serving as Minister and AM

example, Mexico is preparing to elect
~ as its President civil engineer the
second man Of that profession to be
chosen for such Office in the entire
history of North America.
In this interesting particular, the Mex
lean election, to be held in November parallels
that of year ago in the United States. But
with that one parallel, similarity ceases.
Issues, campaign methods, balloting, manner
Of counting ballots, all differ from their Ameri-
can equivalents to an extent seldom appreciated
in the United States. For that reason, chiefly,
political methods are practically unknown north
of the Rio Grande.
Mexico's national presidential campaign has
been in full swing for several months. Some
observers say the result has already been
determined by the revolution last Spring.
Others, but only few, predict another up
rising will occur before it is over.
At any rate, this election is an important
one, since it offers opportunity for testing
whether not the country has made any
progress toward the goal its people would like
to reach-change of administration without
resort to armed forces.
The candidates are three. Pasquale Ortiz
Rubio is the engineer. He is the choice of the
government in power and his election is gen.
orally believed to be foregone conclusion I'M
less a most unexpected upset occurs. The
success of federal troops in the recent fighting
greatly strengthened the position of the federal
party.
Jose Vasconcelos is Ortiz Rubio's leading
opponent The third candidate, Pedro Rodri-
guez Triana, is sponsored by the Communist
party and claims he will have larger vote than
is generally anticipated but there is little pos
sibility that he will prove a serious contender
for the office.
10Th Ortiz Rubio and Vanconcelos are Con-
servatives-in the Mexican sense-though
both have taken active parts in the Revolu-
tionary government since it came into power
in 1910.
Perhaps it is well to explain here that in
Mexico the whole political era since the rule
of Porfirio Diaz Is known as the Revolution
The many bloody conflicts and the varying
administrations that have come to power within
that time are all considered incidents in the
one general reform movement. Uprisings such
as that of last Spring are distinguished from
the Revolution proper.
Ortiz Rubio is the candidate OF the PaTtido
National ReVolutionariO, the National Revoll-
tiOnary party representing the views, in gen
eral of the past three Presidents - T'
The party was organized last March by
former President Gales who called together
Labor, Agrarian and Intellectual groups and
invited them to unite behind one candidate.
