Whereupon some 15,000 poor Veracruz farmers armed themselves and went to war against the Government. Boss Calles began to suspect that Senor Tejeda was a troublemaker. He knew it when Tejeda resigned from the National Revo lutionary Party, announced that he was a candidate for President and roved out of his home State to stump all Mexico.
