CAMPAIGNING
FOR CALLES
Socialist State Government
Sends Out Agents for
Candidate.
FLORES IN EARNEST
New Presidential Candi-
date Likely to Hurt
Calles’ Chances. .
Th:' Socialist state government of
Yucatan has sent out ninny tmid
agents and nropogandists throughout
Mexico and probably into foreign
countries for the purpose of boost-
ing the presidential campaign of
I’lntarco Calles.
For some time Lehn Ossorrio well-
known character in Mexican politics
has been attacking the candidacy of
General Calles in the most influential
Havana papers. His fight against
Calles has beeu based upon hi« con-
nection with “red" activities. Lately
the Havana papers have charged
Calles with being anti-American for
political purposes stating that at one
time before he entered politics- Don
Phitarco was closely allied with the
mining interests in Cananca and was
the head of the syndicate that brought
strike breakers into Sonoda to com-
bat the labor syndicates. They even
go so far as to say when he was
governor of Sonora under Carranza
lie ordered the foremost Socialist lead-
er Lazaro Gutierrez de Lara who was
the author of "Barbarous Mexico.”
and other publications executed for
inciting the labor element in Sonora
to strike.
The same papers say flint Calles
and the anti-American element in
Mexico are to charge that Mexico
made many concessions to the United
States to obtain recognition and that
Calks is to conduct his campaign for
the presidency on an anti-American
platform for home consumption.
Flores Has Announced.
The candidacy of Angel Flores who.
according to Mexico City papers hns
accepted nomination from several
sources would indicate to some that
Flores is really in earnest and that
his candidacy will seriou-ly interfere
with the aspirations of Calles; that
Angel Flores can demand Obregon's
support.
Obregon and De la Huerta left
Mexico City for a pleasure jaunt to
Vera Cruz aud a cruise on the gulf
for the purpose of avoiding delega-
tions. visitors aud others who desired
to discuss tye recognition treaties.
For purposes of a little rest they left
Mexico City the very day after recog-
nition was i.nnounccd at Washington.
an<l have not discussed -nternational
matters with anyone.
In Mexican circles it is believed
that from this cruise of Obregon and
De la Huerta some big politics will
come and that if they decide that
neither one of them will seek the
presidency at this time they will an-
nounce to whom they will throw their
supi>ort.
It is not belicv -d that General Angel
Flores will remain a candidate if
share is any possibility of De la
Huerta becoming a canGulate or if
President Obregon should seek re-elec-
tion.
Flores Would Beat Calles.
However if Calles rer.-ains in the
running and every indication at
present points to the conclusion that
the man that is the next president of
Mexico will have to beat Don Plu-
tarco it would appear that Angel
Mons will stand on the plaform
"Anything to Beat Calles." mid that
such a stand would produce the con-
solidation of all parties opposing Calles
and the Socialists; that it even might
mean that withdrawn of the candi-
dates of General Antonio Villareal.
Salvador Alvarado. Koque Estiudti and
Carlo Zetina for it is not believed
that any one of these last mimed
gentiemen really believes he can De
elected president under present con-
ditiot* without bringing on artnedcon-
flict. which would be the ruin of Mex-
ico.
However if every candidate men-
tioned continues in the iace and makes
a fight for his election it will mean
bitterness sectionalism factionalism
and strife ami Obregon as president
with the best element of Mexico will
have to insist on a compromise can-
didate. who when elected must neces-
sarily 4 himself witn a cab-
inet of the highest intellectual ord t
that will command the rvpect of the
foreign powers.

THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
Semi-twilight Comes When
Moon Crosses Sun ’s Path
Thousands Watch Eclipse
* Through Smoked Glass
Here Monday Afternoon;
Sky Becomes Deep Blue
”nd Shadows Cast by Sun
Are Pale and Weak.
Mid-afternoon twilight settled upon
San Antouio. Monday when between
" :17 and 4:45 o'clock the intervening
Disk of the moon left but a thin
crescent of the bright sun. Although
the skies were partly cloudy glimpses
of the eclipse could be caught between
the rifts. At the time of greatest ob-
scuration. 3:35 o'clock when 83 per
cent of the sun was in darknes-.
broken places in the clouds enabled
observers to see the eclipse in the
downtown section.
Beginning at 2:17 o'clock the moon
began its journey across the face
of the.sun. Intermittently the two
were hidden from observers by cloud
masses. In the north the appear-
ance of rain clouds threatened to
draw a curtain over the eclipse.
■ Through a Hooch Boltle.
As the time of greatest obscuration
drew near the semi-twilight became
apparent. During tb« moments while
the clouds were between the earth ami
the sun. the semi-darkness was that of
an ordinarily very cloudy day. but it
was at the moments when the cres-
cent of the sun appeared in the rifts
of the clouds aud the sunlight drifted
down to the earth that the faint
light imbued atmosphere with a
wierd ghostly light as though the sun
were dying.
Hundreds of people watched the
eclipse through pieces of smoked glass
and exposed photograph plates and
films. Amateur astronomers stood
upon street corners at the windows of
office buildings and on roofs to
watch the rare phenomenon. Prob-
ably for the first time in history an
attempt was made to view the eclipse
through a pint bottle containing red
moonshine whiskey. At the prohibi-
tion enforcement headquarters in the
Kampmann building. Grouphead
Harry Hamilton unable to obtain a
piece of smoked glass endeavored to
look through moonshine at the eclipse.
The experiment was a failure since
the sunlight was too greatly diffused
as it filtered through the liquor.
There Was No Corona.
Many citizens of San Antonio no-
ticed the crescent -shaped spots of
light cast by the sun as it filtered
through the interstices of foliage of
shrubbery and trees. Ordinarily the
spots of light would be round. In-
stead the light places were images
of the crescent-shaped sun.
Even while the sun itself was hid-
den from the observer's view the pale
light of the uneclipsed part might be
seen upon distant clouds. The blue
of the sky was intensified but stars
were not visible to the unassisted
eye.
A few citizens falsely led to be-
lieve that they would have an oppor-
tunity of viewing the wonderful
lights of the corona were disappoint-
ed. The corona it has been pointed
out by astronomers several times
would be apparent only to those ob-
servers who wore in Iho narrow path
in the lower part of California and
Mexico where the eclipse would be
viewed as totah Notwithstanding the
fact that the corona could not bo vis-
ible. the eclipse was not .■» failure
from a spectacular viewpoint.

advertising will ’>e done throi gh news-
papers nil over the United States
and it is estimated will reach 20000-

S. B. Rickaby was the principal
speaker at the meeting Monday and
stated that about 150 of the old rod

each member will be expected to wear
tlie colors of his respective brigade
during the campaign.
It was suggested that San Antonio's

the national campaign begins.
"I am told that San Antonio has the
purest water in' the world.” Mr.
Rickaby said. “That is t n tsset that
California Fiori '-i. or an.v other can

There arc lots of people that want
