Drew Large Following.
As secretary of agriculture Cedillo main
tanned something like military headquar-
tiers at Coyoacan, in the federal district,
and each morning received there politicians,
military leaders and other followers, who
overflowed in the secretariat of agriculture.
Cedillo was unable to reconcile himself
to the extreme leftward tack Cardenas took
last summer, and resigned in August from
the agriculture department, retiring to his
hacienda at Las Palomas. There he re-
manned amid gathering reports that he was
rallying conservative elements for an even-
tual uprising. The attempt to get him out
of San Luis Potosi by naming him military
commander in the state Of Michoacan
failed when he requested sick leave and
resigned his army generalship earlier this
month.
Besides his dissent from the agrarian
policies of the Cardenas government Ce-
dillo has found himself at loggerheads
with the federal authorities over church
and educational policies. A member Of the
Mexican Masonic Lodge, Cedillo has never
theless been a protector of the church in
San Luis Potosi. During his rule the state
became refuge for those fleeing the federal
governments educational and religious
regulations, and he refused to enforce the
sion in the Cardenas cabinet gave dissatis-
fled church elements hope for leniency from
the government.
"There is liberty of worship in San Luis
body is contented," he said in an interview
in 1885.
Favors School Freedom.
His opposition to legislative regimenta-
ton of the universities behind the precepts
of the revolution was expressed in another
interview he granted newspaper men
shortly after he became secretary of agri-
culture:
II desire that all of the universities Of
the country and especially ours (San Louis
PotosD change their theology to that which
Is based on the ordinations and postulates
Of the socialistic doctrine which the revo-
luton supports. But understand that
this Is not problem Of legislation and Of
power, but problem Of culture, which
must be solved by means Of cultural de-
velopment, and when the doctrine which
we must follow is 1nstilled in the con-
science Of the Mexican people, and espe-
cially among our intellectual classes, then
will be the time when such standards may
be sanctioned by law. I believe that in
order to investigate the truth it is neces-
sary for all Of the universities Of the coun-
try to be autonomous, because. in my
opinion, human thought can only be de-
veloped in an atmosphere Of freedom"
Dubbed ''E Zorro" (the BulD because
of his stature and strength, Cedillo is
typically Indian in feature and action. He
has all the roughness Of the tiller Of the
soil and few cultural accomplishments.

leader expresses himself on occasion with
great forcs. although hs lacks duency.

Mr.. Paxton said that he wanted to

He said that he did not know how

BORAH WILL OPEN
LYNCH BILL FIGHT
Southern Senators Select
Westerner to Launch
Opposition.
By the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
Southern Senators banded together
today for a prolonged fight against
the anti-lyncfing bill in the hope II
would be shelved to make way for
President Roosevelt's legislative pro-
gram.
They chose Westerner-Senator
Borah. Republican, of Idaho-to be-
gin debate this afternoon against the
measure, which came up under a
Senate agreement made during the
special session.
Senator Connally. Democrat, of
Texas. leader of the opponents. said
debate would last "at least a week or
10 days." but declined to forecast how
much longer it might continue.
Effect of Filibuster.
Republican Leader McNary. who
favors the proposal, said he under
stood the Southern group hoped to
continue talking until pressure for
the administrations program became
50 strong the anti-lynching measure
would be dropped. He asserted fill
buster might prolong the congress
sional session considerably beyond its
scheduled May adjournment.
Supporters of the bill expressed the
hope any filibuster would fizzle quick
ly. Senator Van Nuys, Democrat, of
Indiana, co-author of the measure,
declared he would reject any proposal
to prevent vote at this session.
1T the gentlemen from the South
knowing that we have the votes to
pass this bill any minute the roll is
called-want to take the responsibility
for delaying any economic or indus
trial program" Senator Van Nuys
said. the responsibility is on their
shoulders"
Reorganization Measure.
The administrations Government
reorganization bill would be affected
by filibuster. because it Is ticketec
for consideration when anti-lynchins
debate is out of the way.
The farm and housing measures
now being redrafted by Senate House
Conference Committees. also might be
delayed. along with regional planning
tax revision, appropriations and other
major measures.
In one form or another the anti
lynching proposal has been debated in
Congress for 20 years. The House ap-
proved bill last year.
The Senate measure would levy fines
up to SIS 1000 on sheriffs or other Off
GERS who failed to protect prisoners. It
would require political subdivisions
where lynchings occurred to pay be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 to lynching
victim if he were alive, or to his next
of kin if he were killed.
The bill would permit prosecution by
the Attorney General when it was
found a State or its subdivisions had
failed to exercise all lawful means" to
prevent lynching.
Opponents contend States are han
ding the problem zealously and that
Federal interference would be uncon-
stitutional.

CAPTURE FAITH,
c. 0.P. IS ADVISED
Barton Tells Indiana Party
! Convention to Accept
Sound Reforms.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 29.-Repre-
sentative Bruce Barton, Republican,
Of New York said today the mass
feeling" Of faith-whether "well found
ed or i'll founded"-in President Roose-
velt was "the controlling political in
nuence Of our day" and advised the
Republican party to try to capture
that faith for itself.
In spoken keynote speech
prepared for the Indiana State Re-
publican Convention, MIR. Barton pro-
jected party campaign program
which would accept the New Deal
reforms deemed sound" but would
put national administration back in
the hands Of Republican party
cleansed, chastened, rededicated to
service"
He told the convention that to
ignore the Presidents popular appeal
was blindness; to inveigh against it
Is political insanity"
Presents G. o. p. Picture.
"'Give us a plan,' the people cry.
Show us picture" he went on.
Here, In broad outlines, is the Re-
publican picture:
I'VE see land In which no more
great fortunes are likely to be amassed ;
land where those who now have
great fortunes will be compelled to
put those fortunes into production for
the public good, or to have them
legally redistributed.
But it Is land where the power
to tax, which has been rightly termed
the power to destroy is used not to
destroy. but to stimulate.
We see land where the farm
problem and the railroad problem
and the tariff problem, the housing
problem and the relief problem are
treated not as separate problems. but
as integral parts OF the greater whole
We see our soil conserved by Federal
aid; We see facilities for the free
storage Of plus crops; We see an end
to the program of scarcity -"
I'VE see country wherein the relief
problem has been studied scientifically:
where there has been q census not
merely Of needs but Of skills: where
employment agencies are nationalized
and transportation Is furnished to
families for whose skill there is oppor-
tunity elsewhere. We see more abun-
dant relief for the fewer number who
will need relief. And no relief for the
chiseler, the political favorite. or the
bum"

Gen. Oscar Westover, chief Of the

He told grads" of Fort Omaha s

balloon experience. Unless we get
the proper authority soon to remedy
this situation we will be unable to find
officers in time Of need" he said.
