MEXICD STIRRED * OVER CAMPAIGNING ¢ Country's Prophets Guessing as | : to Candidates Mexico City, Aug. 4 (UP)—Mexi- | co's presidential campaign has the prophets guessing. In the three- ringed show of military candidates . with revolutionary records the per- ‘formances are so nearly the samec that the spectators are merely cheer- ing known personalities. It is too early to predict who has a new act that will go over when the crowd has grown surfeited with the old stuff. All three of the candidates are de- claring the revolutionary principles of 1910 form fundamental planks in their platform, but these princi- ples are not being revivified or re- stated with any degree of clarity. Sixteen years have passed since Francisco Madero raised the flag of revolution against Porfirio Diaz with the slogan “Effective suffrage—No / reelection.” Since then a radically i different constitution has come into ' being and the revolutionary princi- . ples have undergone evolution. It seems essential that these principles ! be defined anew. Generals Arnulfo Gomezr and | ! Francisco Serrano are former chef- i tains of ex-President Obre, and ‘are now combined : ne- ;armed general on the principal of the campaign—"No Reelection.” { Both have openly denounced th jamendment to the constitution per- ! mitting the reelection of a former president, declaring it a legislativ: manouver in contravention of tii spirit of the revolution. The amendment reads that ,president shall succeed himself, ti {forbidding consecutive administr Itions by the same leader, which :Obregon supporters contend pr ! serves the spirit of the revolutio: | constitution, but Domez and Ser | declare Obregon’s candidacy a d vowal of his own revolutionary r lord and carries a threat that n ;amendment might permit contin: ioccupancy of the presidential ch The anti-reelection convent |recently held in Mexico City .tacked Obregon's position in no ur .certain manner and much spirit: italk was heard. ‘The conventic: |nominated Gomez as its candida iwhen it was decided that no ca: [didate from civil life would real; !have a chance to win. Serrano is also runing on an an {ti-reelection platform and he and |Gomez have decided jointly to op- pose Obregon and to hold another convention in December at which |time a show of strength will prove {which should continue as the: anti- ireelection candidate. ; The campaign began with a de- {claration by Obregon that it should be a “guante blanco” affair—a ‘white-gloved or gentlemen's strugz] without plunging the country into irevolution again. Both the opposing icandidates and the press agrecd with this sentiment. Since then, however, some bitter language has been heard and the talk now is of the comparative strength of the .candidates with the military. Polit- ical observers generally agrce that (this counts heavily. | In this respect observers declare | that Obregon, Gomez and Serrano | respectively hold a full house, three | of a kind end a pair of llflu(‘r\s“ pointing out that Obregon wants tranquillity so his winning hand can | easily be played and not run against | ‘any bluff.
