claimed the principles of the revolu-
ton, we are able to say that the pres
ent president of the republic is in the.
interim one of US because he bears
high sentiments of justice and pa
triotism. He has given proofs of IT
in his tact in forming the new cabinet.
in which are amply represented thes
elements who have carried the revolu-
ton to an end and who have been
designated by mutual agreement, De-
tween senior de Ia Barra and the prin-
cipal chiefs OF the revolution who
would be consulted.
In all, 1 hope that as / publicly
recognize senior Francisco de. la Barra
as president ad interim of the repub-
lie Of Mexico. all my. fellow citizens
who have defended the principles or
the revolution and have recognized me
as provisional president, will recog-
nize the same Senior Francisco Leon de
la Barra in the already indicated posi-
tion, and will endeavor to follow him
effectively in his work of reestablish-
ing order and tranquility in the re-
public.
No Cause for Fear.
"To those who for so many years
have been victims of the tyranny and
who fear some trick from their old
oppressors I say that they should fear
nothing. The people already have
shown their omnipotence and before
1 resigned the provisional presidency
1 agreed with senors de Ia Barra upon
the necessary means for assuring the
satisfaction of the national aspirations
which in the next general election Will
respect the popular will.
Among these means are to make
the governors of the states resign and
to substitute citizens who constitute
a guaranty for the new regime which
has been .inaugurated. The objection
can be made that this is an attack
on the sovereignty of the states, but
speaking with frankness L ought to
declare that if we have agreed upon
senior de Ia Barra to occupy the presi-
dency of the republic it is because he
is considered an honorable man, be-
cause up to this time he never has
served as the instrument to burlesque
the popular vote, but we cannot say
the same OF the governors nor OF the
legislatures of the states, any more
than it can be said of Gen., Diaz or
senior Ramon Corral and if contrary
to the San Luis Potosi plan 1 have
accepted in the name of the revolu-
| ton that the national chambers and
| the legislatures of the states shall
continue in their form, it is to avoid
great overturnings and difficulties.
/ and because the chambers frankly &C
cept the new regime.
It consider very ample the conces-
J sions which the revolutionary party
has made to the old regime. and in
/, this document I make it clear that 1t
! is because it is convenient that the
new government. effectively supported
by the party emanating from the rev.
solution, shall act literally until it full
/ fills the national aspirations
A Guarantee Of Liberty.
1 Those governors who have been
designated by the people; others who
have been candidates on various oc-
easions. and others who shall be le-
gally installed and will be named In
accord with the popular aspirations
! will be a guaranty of our future lib
I erty. So far as possible, according to
1 the constitution, they will leave in the
capacity of militia that part Of the
! insurgent forces which will be deemed
convenient.
1.-The nation will report some sac
rifices because the provisions contained
in the third clause OF the San Luis

| Moreover. through constitutions
means, we will procure the satisfac-
tion of the legitimate civic rights to
/ which the said clause refers.
with regard to the military grades
1 Of the chiefs of the revolution, they
wfI1 be recognized according to, the
San Luis Potosi plan by the governors
of the states, and commission will
be named to determine which shall be
