RUN WITH MADERO
Gomez Men Are Defeated By
Mexican Progressives in
Convention.

ballots, thene going to tho credit of
the man with the majority.
The nomination of Huarex followed
the refusal of the minority In the con
vention to raxt Its totes for either of
the remaining candidates for the vlre-prenldi-ncy
and the calling of Fran-
rlro I. Madero before the convention j
to defend hi relations with Dr. Go- j
met, who had run second to Suarex
by 39 votes on the second ballot.
The head of the ticket was sub
jected to a grilling by the delegates,
but after frankly expressing bis dis
approval of Dr. Gomez, he adroitly
turned the tables on the dissatisfied
clement by putting them on record to
support the winning candidate, who
ever he might be.
Only the most ardent supporters of
Madero regard his nomination as
synonymous with his election. No
one attempts to deny that he bat lost
much of his popular Influence, and
that General Rernardo Reyea la a for
midable rival.

ligations of cert.iln city officials be
carried Into another mayoralty term."

DIVORCE DEGREE TO
L0VESJS REFUSED
Baker, Ore. After a legal battle of
many months, which has been bitterly
fought and which hat Interested the
whole country, the divorce suit of Sid
ney C. Love versus Marjorie Burnes
Love was brought to a close when Cir
cuit Judge William Smith handed
down a decision in which he finds that
the plaintiff is not entitled to the de
cree prayed for in his complaint, and
that neither la the wife entitled to le
gal separation from h'.- husband.
In his findings the Ji Jge favors the
p'alntlff all the way, but the reason
he granted no decree in hla favor is
probably shown in paragraph 16
wherein he says that since Love let
his family In England he has not
sought a reconciliation with his wife
in unmistakable terms.
He characterizes the trouble be
tween the man and wire as "merely
psychological," and holds that the
plaintiff did not receive due considera
tion from the members of his family
