C. Alfonso Cravioto : Pueblo : Ha llegado el momento solemne en que la Revolución sera consagrada por la Ley
Rare Books
Political broadside for Alfonso Cravioto, who was running for Mexico's Constitutional Congress in 1917. Alfonso Cravioto Mejorda (1884-1955) was a Mexican poet, politician and diplomat. He participated in the anti-reelection movement against the election of Porfirio Diaz. Upon the triumph of the Madero movement, he became a federal deputy in the 25th legislature (1911-13) and was a member in the Constitutional Congress of Mexico (1917). The broadside stresses the importance of voting ("Arrojemos, pues, lejos de sí los resots de nuestra oproviosa indiferencia para los asuntos políticos; entremos franca y resueltamente a la nueva vida y llevemos al Congreso nuestros representantes; pero llevemos ciudadanos de nuestro seno, llevemos hombres conscientes de su papel, hombres honrados, hombres que conozcan, que comprendan tus necesidades, tus aspiraciones y tus dolors; no trafficantes de la cosa publica") and clearly states Cravioto as their primary candidate for "Distrito Electoral de Pachuca y Real de Monte" with Lauro Alburquerque as an alternate candidate.

Comisión de inmigración : dictamen del vocal ingeniero José María Romero, encargado de estudiar la influencia social y económica de la inmigración asiática en México
Rare Books
Also known as the "Romero Report", this publication articulates the anti-Chinese sentiment in Mexico in the early 20th century. Romero's report concludes that Chinese immigrants, unlike their European counterparts, do not benefit the overall Mexican economy and are unable to properly assimilate. The publication of this report closely followed the Torreón Massacre (13-15 May 1911) in which over 300 Chinese men, women and children were brutally murdered and their homes and businesses burned. Romero cites this event as further evidence that Chinese populations in Mexico pose a threat to national stability.
