vera; me llevan inmerecidamente la
Presidencia provisional de la <Union

Mi nombre no es ell de un polftico es-
clarecido en- las luchas de la vida publ
ca, pero seame licito ostentarlo, como
ell de un puertorriquefio honrado que
consagro una vida al trabajo perseve-
rante, y que en- esta, su querida terra,
levant6 un hogar donde Sc rlnde fervo-
roso culto al bien de la gran patria es-
pamela al de esta porcion de su glo-
rioso territorio.
Me traio don Luis Munoz Rivera al
partido liberal en- los comienzos de su
breve cuanto her6ica vida, movido por
convencimiento profundo de que, en- ell
seno del partido y con la realization de
su programa, podfa 20 contribuir, 81
quiera fuese modestamente, q labrar la
felicidad de mis- paisanos los puertorri-
quefios, en- general de los habitantes
todos de esta isla. No traje historic nj
grandes merecimientos polfticos, pero
ST un proposito sincere levantado y per-
severante; y al lado de don Luis Mu-
fioz Rivera me coloque constantemente,
no solo por un sentimiento firme de ad
miracion profunda su actiyidad in
comparable de luchador invencible, 81
no tambien por la adhesion absolute

sido imposibles entire nosotros; y min
guno mas que yo podia sentir en- 10 mas
hondo de sus afecciones ell pesar profun-
do que me embargo en- estos dolorosos
momentos de nuestra crisis pOlftica.
Dou Luis Munoz Rivera me pide
ahora un servicio al pals que considero
superior mis- fuerzas, y que me abru-
ma por su iumensa responsabilidad; y
no sin grandes vacilaclones me decide
a prestarlo, tsnto porque NADIA puedo

clos por ell bien de todos.
