Juarez, Mex, May 26.-rrancisco
|. Madero Jr., in a manifesto to the
people of Mexico, tonight resigned the
position OF provisional president con-
ferred upon him by convention of
revolutionists at the city Of San Luis
Potosl last October and called upon
all Mexicans, to support Senior de La
barra as the sole executive in Mexi-
co.
Senor Madero places his forces at
the disposal OF Senior de La Barra and
pays high tribute to the character of
the new executive, pointing out that
he may well be considered zone OF
us The manifesto was Senior Ma
dero's last act as provisional presi-
dent and he will now refer all inquir-
les Of lnsurrecto forces or insurrecto
eivil authorities to Senior de La Barra.
Having relinqulshed the post which
he believed did not permit him to en-
ter American territory, he accepted
tonight an invitation of the El Paso
city officials to attend public recep-
tion In his honor, next Monday, fol-
lowing which he probably will leave
for Mexico City to assist senor de La
Barra as a private citizen In pacifi-
eating the country.
The manifesto intended TO pacify all
elements in Mexico and which viii be
published broadcast follows:
Fellow Citizens; When. by. this
San Luis Potosi plan of, last October,
| invited YOU to take up arms to re-
conquer our liberties and political
rights you all concurred in my call
and in six months By your heroic ef-
forts you have overthrown the dicta-
torial regime which for about thirty
five years has oppressed our father
land.
THE triumph has been complete
and In succession there win be JUS
tice equally for the rich and the
poor for the powerful and for tho
humble, Liberty will spread Its broad
wings TO All Mexicans and. united ira
ternally. we WIN work for the aggran-
dlzement of our country.
Having continued the reAelution
till its conclusion, It would seem that
| should convoke the general cleo
tions, according TO the stipulations OF
the san Luis Potos plan. but the war
Of fratricity which we have been oblig-
cd to carry on win not triumph In the
determination OF personalities but In
the victory of our principles. From
the moment In which we triumphed
and we saw the republic surely COM
ing under a regime of absolute liber-
ty, General Diaz and Senior Ramon
Corral resolving to resign. to leave the
power In the hands of Senor de La
Rarra. From that moment, | say II
appeared to me that | should act In
accordance with the high interests OF
the fatherland. suspendng hostilities
and putting a final stop TO the blood
shed of the war OF fratrlclty. But
considering as legitimate the author
ity OF Senor Francisco de La Barra,
inasmuch as he comes into power bs
a mutual agreement OF both contend
ing parties. II is impossible for me to
assume charge of the provisional pres
idency Of the republic and for that
reason, l hereby formally resign be-
fore the nation.
''Thus as all my companions fol-
lowed me when J invited them to the
mock election of last June and after
YOU followed me in arms to reconquer
our liberty, thus ! hope that now an
will follow my efforts In reestablish-
ing quickly peace and tranquility IN
the whole republic, to the end that
very soon the Mexican people VIII
enjoy the well being which proper
tionately Is due under the new regime
OF government inaugurated TO-DAY
with President de La Barra, who mas
received SO high and honored a post
solely with the idea OF serving ms
country serving as an intermediary
between the dcspotic government OF
General Dlaz and the eminently pop
llar government which will result
from the next general elections.
senor Francisco Leon de La Barra
Is supported In power BY public opln-
ion and as he has unanimously pro-
claimed the principles of the revolu-
tion we are able 10 say that the pres
,nt president of the republic Is In the
Interim one of us because he bears
nigh sentiments of justice and patriot
sm. He has given proofs of It IN his
act IN forming the new cabinet In
which are amply represented the ele-
nents who have carried the revoiu-
ion to an end and who have been
by mutual agreement be-
ween Senior de La Barra and the
principal chiefs OF the revolution who
oud be consulted.
'1n all. | hope that as | publicly
Senior Francisco de La Bar
"a as president ad interim of the re-
lublle OF Mexico, all my fellow-clti-
ems who have defended the principles
If the revolution and have recognized
ne as provisional president, win rec
,gnize the same Senor Francisco Leon
le La Barra In the already indicated
position and will endeavor to follow
lin effectively in his work of re-es-
abllshing order and tranquility In the
epuhllc.
"'ro those who Tor so many years
lave been victims OF the tyranny and
Who fear some trick. from their old
,ppressors. say that they should fear
nothing The people already have
hovvn thoir onnipotence and hefore
