 Dbre. 25th. 1910 Editor of Fl Paso Heralr: Acting in my capacity as secretary of state of the provisional govern sure in order that your paper may not receive ''unthruthful, belaeed and incomplete" informaticn about the war, to write you to send one of your correspondents to join us, and to have free access to every camp of the Ejercito Restaunhdo. The American reporters will be eagerly welcomed and warmly treat ed; we do not fear publicity. as the truth will make us free. and we de- sire it to be known, especially that which concerns the behavior of both armies, the army of the people and that of the poor old man, Porfirio Diaz, head Of a government loaded up with crimes and debts.
 The anti-reelecionists deport them selves kindly even with the authori- ties Of the uslrper, while the regular soldiers steal burn and devasthte as Apaches.
 Naturally, we act with energy, but not shamefully. The motive power of cur work is love. so We do not hate our oppressors, because We do not consider them as enemies. but only as mistaken brothers. 1 The Anti-reelectionist party is bound to win; the whole nation de | mands the restorati-n of the con | stitution; even the highest officials of the decay.ng regime long for it, l but their lack of moral courage makes them wait for the death of the imperator.
 Besides, the armed Mexicans real y know how to hit, once they have i made up their mind to triumph or succumb emember that 16 years ago Diaz needed 2000 soldiers to van quish 30 Tomochitecos; 12 years ago in Santo Tomas 400o soldiers be- sieged 80 pr -nunciados and after 14 days of fierce fighting 54 of them eyaded capture.
 | In those old days the universal concensus of opinion did not exist as now, therefore, despotisIn got the victory, but at present justice will ! prevail, as we stand for just prin- cipals, a few of which are the fol- lowing:
 Honest elections and free ballot. No reelection.
 The candidates for office to be . ] IESlSthNS O- AAe aOts1AAss |. Sovereignty O. the states and inde- pendence of the municipalities. Equity is taxation
 The pr2mulgation of a good agra ria lex"
 The establishment of schools in ev- cry town and settlement
 The reduction of the army making it up of volunteers.
 The suppression of monopoly and gambling.
 1 The repatriation of the Yaqui in dians.
 The abolition of the death penalty snd so forth but under all and after II to make the public functionaries responsible c for their official acts.
 The ria9tful president of Mexico, Francisco Madero, in consonance with the feelings of the patriots vhO in arms support the plan of San Luis Potosi, gives his most
 ord al assurance to the Mormon 1olonies that no harm will ever be intended aga;nst them 60 long as l they remain neutral; therefore they an confidently g1 to work without 'he least g7rrehension of G.snger from our party
 Siuting the American people and he American press. through you, Mir. Editor. I have the honor of subscribing myself, yours truly, | Brsufo Hernandez
