 self to People
DEMAGOGUES DEPL0RED

Bernardo Reyes has in a manifesto explained why he had changed hi. mind and accepted the candidacy fol the presidency in the coming cleo tions. He says that in his manifesto of June l2 he declared he would no be a candidate, because at that time he believed it was best for the nation for all the forces possible to unite ir the support of the leader of the late triumphant revolution. With the changes of the last two months, i1 which time he says Madero Ihas beer openly rejected by some of the most ardent followers, and having been urged to enter the race by people from every part of the country, Gen eral Reyes has finally consented tc allow his name to be announced as a presidential candidate
 The Manifesto.
 i The manifesto reads:
 Tn my manifesto of June 12 oi i this year I explained to my fellow citizens. both civil and military, who had tried to proclaim my candidacy for the presidency, that l believed that, at the time when that agitation Of the war which had occurred in the republic had hardly died out. in place of accepting the candidacy with the danger Of provoking a commotion under such delicate circumstances would have to refuse, as l did categor. ically, to enter the race, and that the patriotic thing to do for the quickest . possible reestabHshment of peace and order was to unite all clements in favor of the revolutionary cause, which was headed by Francisco l. Ma. ceTo, who, surrounded by the aureole of victory, was designated in the most vigorous manner by the irresistible demonstration of public opinion, as the man to occupy the highest place within the gift of the people. It was this consideration which caused ne to accept his candidacy and to request my followers to follow my example, with the conviction on my part that by jnining to the chief of the revolution all the corresponding elements, he would be given the necessary power to prosecute the energies Of the nation and to dominate all clements which did not subject themselves to the reign of law and order, so that at last, in the wake of war, and the misfor- tune of the republic, justice in all it's splendor should shine; justice q said in my other manilesto) for all the worried ones, justice with which to honor the fidelity and heroism of the army; justice to reward the men who had made sacrifices for the triumph of democracy, justice and guarantee, in short, for all social interests, deeply wounded or suspicious, as they may be.
 Duly Course Left.
 Less than two months ago l issued this manifesto and in this short time l have seen that my desire to unite with and carry my contingency to the leader of the revolution is in vain. Part of hi5 ardent followers have .e. sccted me and mine, directing a: me through the press, all manner Of de- nunciation, and these offensive man ifestations of the irreconcilable ones, which nobly and energetically Mir. Madero opposed, were followed iy others more serious. inasmuch as they originated with authorities who were placed in power by the revolution, and l found myself watched by the police and Maderist troops as if ], e man of well proved honor, and a sol dier Of honorable antecedents, were capable of any unworthy act, or COR duet of any kind, which 1 would not display before my fellow citizens or my companions at arms
 Thus 1t was that my efforts to place my contingency with that of inc leader Of the revolution ended in fail ure. They were rejected and the ef- fort of uniting them led to loss Ul confidence and friction which might lead to conflict and even produced divisions among the followers Of the noble champion. l then decided, with explanation on my part to Mir. Ma dero. who has always been courteous to me, to leave his party in the most cecorous manner, and a sincere letter from him which was written July l6. and which was not published until three days ago in answer 10 mine. which ] directed him ia regard to my intentions, relieves me rom all my former promises.
 Tn this letter Mir. MadeTo does not speak only of my separation from him politically. but inspired by the brOadest ideal or democracy says that he would not consider 1t hostile to him if l should accept the candidacy for the presidency. since he was con fident that the campaign would be according to law.
 Threats of Demagocues.
 On the other hand, the uufortun. ate happenings of the last months in different parts of the ~republic. have greatly moved the spirit of the public. The injurious realities and after them, the threats of demago. gues, has caused a great desire on the part Of the people for the re-cs tablishment Of peace and the guaran. tee Of individual rights, and from ev. cry part of the republic am receiv- ing energetic petitions to lend my name and elements through the cleo. tions to a favorable change in the fn- tsre situation.
 T am urged to accept the nomina- ton for president and free from ali compromises, for the reasons stated and in consideration of tho Eew cir fcumstances which have come about in the conditions of the republic, am convinced that I should not hesitate 10 heed the petitions which request r
