...TIME, July 30); and therefore factional leaders see in the "Grand Party" the doom of their petty potency. "The Grand Party is being formed," thundered Factionist Soto y Gama last week, "solely to perpetuate the rule of Mexico's Idol of Flesh and Blood! ... I and my followers protest! ... Let us not adore idols. . . . We defy the powers of. . . ."
