Independent of all other revolutionary leaders in Mexico, the insurrection here Is now centered In Socialistic affairs, the object ob-ject being tho establishment of Utopia Utop-ia in Lower California, which, though born amid the singing of bullets, ultimately ul-timately is to know no bloodshed or warfare or men of money.

The success of the movomont admittedly depends upon tho results of tho agitatfon and tho support of Socialists and the -Industrial Workers Work-ers of tho World.
