em the country, Pascual Ortiz Ru- '
bio. national revolutionary party
nominee for the presidency in the
Nov. 17 election, declared in a
speech here.
Ortiz Rubio made this statement {
exactly a year from the date on
which Gen. Plutarco Elias Calles,
then president, told congress the
time had come to do away with the
military rulers in Mexico and sub
stitute in their stead a “government
of institutions.”
At the same time Ortiz Rubio
was speaking here, Provisional Pres- !
ident Portes Gil, in his annual mes
sage to congress at Mexico City, :
denied rumors he would seek to
prolong his term of office which
ends in February and /tdded the
statement he did not “possess the
proportions of a caudillo.” The
president said it had been his priv
ilege to initiate the era of '•Institu
tional government" prescribed by
General Calles. and promised that
the federal authorities would guar- j
antee impartial elections in Novem
ber.
Ortiz Rubio is the standard bear
