Viva Pascual Orozco, valiente luchador y fiel amante de rasgar la careta del tirano (Long Live Pascual Orozco, Brave Fighter Who Loves to Rip the Mask Off the Tyrant)
A commercial broadside pairs a full-length halftone photograph of Pascual Orozco, rifle at his side and cartridge belt across his hips, with verse hailing him as 'invicto general', 'noble guerrero' and 'patriota sincero' while the grateful people 'clasp his ardent hand'. The tells are the stacked virtue words that stand in for any account of his campaign and the one loaded label, 'the tyrant', whose mask he is said to rip off (the regime he helped topple goes unnamed).

VIVA PASCUAL OROZCO Valiente luchador y fiel amante De rasgar la careta del tirano, El pueblo agradecido y delirante De gusto estrecha tu ardorosa mano. AL INVICTO GENERAL PASCUAL OROZCO Ven niña amorosa Con veste azulada Admira una aurora Con tierna mirada. Es iris que deja La patria admirar Es triunfo de Orozco Ven niña á cantar Es noble guerrero, Es digno adalid; Patriota sincero Se muestra en la lid. No tengas temores La paz es un hecho, No suenan tambores Triunfó ya el derecho Cesó la amargura Cesó ya el quebranto Con bella dulzura Levanta tu canto. El bravo de Orozco Te quiere escuchar. Madero el estoico Te quiere premiar En vivos albores Derrama á sus pies Purísimas flores Tu amor á la vez. Juan Flores del Campo.
