red by the legislature for popular ap­
proval or rejection, referred by tbe
people directly or proposed by tbe in-
itiative have been filed by the secre­
tary of state up to date. The twen­

Leaders of Opposition Thrown
Into Prison Under Guard
of Trpops.
EL PASO, Tex.— Porflrio Dias, the
80-year-old statesman who has been
President o f Mexico continuously for
28 years, has been re-elected to that
office.
Ramon Corral undoubtedly
has been chosen to succeed himself
as vice-president. Tbe result means
that the policies of Dias wiU continue
another six years, or at least as long
as the veteran ruler shall live.
Rain in the border states, where
there was the greatest danger of trou
ble, dampened the ardor of the oppo­
sition. Further discouragement to the
anti-re-eleotionists was found in the
fact that their candidate for Prest­
dent, Francisco Madero, spent elec-
tlon day in the Monterey prison, and
that many of the active leaders of
the opposition propaganda also were
in custody and under guard of Federal
troops.
Whatever fight there was against
the administration seems to have been
concentrated on the candidate for the
vice-presidency, Ramon Corral, who la
being groomed by the party in power
as the successor of Dias. Corral be­
lieves in the encouragement of Amer­
ican investments in Mexico and in
the protection ot all foreign interests
in the republic on tbe theory that
they are necessary to progress. His
active attitude in this respect has en­
gendered widespread opposition to
him, but by the same token, his can­
didacy has been favored by tbe cap­
italistic class, domestic and foreign.

PORTLAND, Ore..—A. W. Lafferty,
a Portland lawyer, whose activities In
