Mexico. 8ept. 5.—OP)—Caudlllos, or
military rulers are a thins of the
past so far as Mexico is concerned
and it is the people who now gov
ern 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 j
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 added the j
statement he did not “possess the |
proportions of a eaudillo." The 1
president said It had been his priv
ilege to initiate the era of “institu
tional government” prescribed by
General Calles. and promised that j
the federal authorities would guar- {
an tee Impartial elections in Novem
