San Juan. P. R.
Apreciado. compatriota:-
La actitud tomada por los
delegados de nuestra Camara
legislative ha producido gran
regocijo en- la opinion pdblica
de esta ciudad que ha mirado
en- ella, la orientaci6n y cor
dura de los hombres que estan
al frente de los intereses del
pals.
Algunos de nuestros abver-
sarios polfticos, aprueban esa
actitud decorosa de nuestros
representatives en- la Camara
asf como la actitud patriotica
del partido Unionista, por su
puesto, su sentido particular,
pues esa manifestation no las
hacen colectivamente. De to-
dos modos Sc We en- ellos,
sensatez y buen juicio.
La verdad es, que los direc-
torres del partido Union de
Puerto Rico, han probado al
pals, que ellos no tan solo ira
bajan por sostener en- ell, Or
den y la moralidad en- 10 So
cial, 81 que tambi6n, buscan
por todos los medios posibles
destruir ell actual regimen G =
bernamental que es, la losa de
plomo que 10 agobia llevando-
10 como 10 lleva q la mas de-
sastrosa situaci6n.
Y tempo es va, de que ese
gobierno comprenda, que hay
en- Puerto Rico verdaderos
puertorriquehos que sienten
hondamente sus tiranicos pro
cedimientos y que 81 estos son
aceptados por algunos(desgra
ciadamente hiios de aqu0 O.
tros saben con civismo pro-
testar de aquellos que a su
patria, motejan, Y ESQ es 10
que han hecho los 1delegados
de la Camara legislative dig
nos hiios de Puerto Rico, y
muy digno tambi6n de par
lido a que pertenecen.
Sc dice que la Comision que
ha lido q Washington NADIA con
seguira.
Puede ser; pero bastante
Sc ha conseguido va, con ell
paso dado por la Camara, que
prueba de una manera elo-
cuente que hay dignidad y
decoro Ell nuestro pueblo.
Concluyo felicitandolo a Vd
como uno de los directories del
partido Unionista Y con ella
lie envio respetuosamente to-
do mi afecto,
