Porfirio Díaz y Ramón Corral, electos por el voto unánime del pueblo (Glories of Mexico!! Porfirio Díaz and Ramón Corral, Elected by the Unanimous Vote of the People) A pink broadside topped by a laurel-framed portrait of Porfirio Díaz announces that he and Ramón Corral were 'elected by the unanimous vote of the people' as president and vice-president, then celebrates the day in verse: crowds in the streets, ringing bells, a public feast, 'patriots without stain', and Díaz as 'glory of the Mexican Fatherland'. The tells are the claimed unanimity and the stacked virtue words (Reason, Right, Peace, Popular Vote) standing in for any account of the election. - **Date:** 1904 - **Period:** [Pre-1914](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#era=pre-1914) - **Made by:** Antonio Vanegas Arroyo (Firm), commercial broadside printer, Mexico City - **Region:** [Latin America](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#region=latin-america) - **Country:** [Mexico](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#country=mexico) - **Medium:** [Print](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#medium=print) - **Issuer type:** [Corporation](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#actor=corporation) - **Regime:** [Diaz Government](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#regime=diaz-government) - **Leader:** [Porfirio Diaz](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#leader=porfirio-diaz) - **Audience:** [Domestic public](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#audience=domestic-public) - **Purpose:** [Commemorate](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#purpose=commemorate) - **Theme:** [Elections and party politics](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#theme=elections-party-politics) - **Event:** [1904 Mexican Election](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/#event=1904-mexican-election) - **Techniques:** [Glittering generalities](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/glittering-generalities/) [Bandwagon](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/bandwagon/) - **Source:** Identified Openly sourced: the speaker is who they say they are - **Source:** [Library of Congress](https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/99615821/), retrieved September 29, 2026 - **Rights:** Public domain (published 1904, before 1931; LoC: No known restrictions on reproduction in the U.S.) Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, Washington, D.C. 20540 USA, PGA - Vanegas, no. 46 (LC-DIG-ppmsc-04473) ## Text on the object Original (Spanish) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` 1904 ¡¡GLORIAS DE MÉXICO!! PORFIRIO DIAZ Y RAMON CORRAL ELECTOS POR EL VOTO UNANIME DEL PUEBLO PARA PRESIDENTE Y VICE-PRESIDENTE DE LA REPUBLICA MEXICANA. ¡Salud, oh grandes patricios! ¡Viva el Voto Popular Que os ha sabido elevar Por medio de sus Comicios! El primero de Diciembre De mil novecientos cuatro, Será fecha memorable Para el Pueblo Mexicano. Ese día el pueblo recorre Las calles, con algazara Porque Porfirio y Corral Van á regir nuestra Patria. Las dos figuras grandiosas Los dos patriotas sin tacha Que sabrán orgullecer A la mexicana raza. Quienes á la torre corren Para repicar campanas; Y cuantos van á Palacio Para ver la gran parada. El gran círculo de amigos Del Presidente, prepara Para celebrar las fiestas, Carros, bailes, serenatas. Y por el llano de Anzures Un comelitón regala Para el pueblo el bravo pueblo Que vive en Paz cimentada. Todo en gusto y alegría Por una elección tan amplia, Porque Don Porfirio es gloria De la Patria Mexicana. Cuando soldado en la guerra Blandió valiente su espada Y defendió nuestro suelo Palma á palma sin tardanza. En mil combates luchó Y en ninguno se acobarda, Porque en ellos la Razón Y el Derecho lo amparaba. Yanhuitlan, La Carbonera, Dos de Abril y otras batallas Fueron glorias de Porfirio Con que redimió á la Patria. Más tarde en la Presidencia Tiene misión más sagrada: Conservar en paz al pueblo Y dar crédito á su Patria, ``` English translation (machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader) ``` 1904 GLORIES OF MEXICO!!
