~ Pals Admits Government Influence
Mexico City, Nov. Eel Pals tho
nearest approach 20 an independent
newspaper In Mexico city today eGd-
torlally admits government influence
In last sundays elections II says
1t is evident and notorious that
the atrocities secured the triumph OF
the Huerta- Banquet ticket. This We
done deny or doubt but II rs TAR
cry from what may have occurred to
questioning the validity OF the eleo-
tions.
Suppose the Huerta- Blanauet
ticket had not been put out. would
tho votes cast Tor them have gone to-
Manuel CHlcro Federico Gamboa or
Felix Dlaz? II Is clear they would
ont, because they were artificial votes
invented and non-existcnt.
And what II this be SO? Is It ma
tcrially possible for Mexico to have
a valid election IN the present cir-
cumstanccs OF revolution ana polit-
ical disorder,
That Federico Gamboa received
more votes tnan anybody We already
know because he was backed hy q
strong party; but would those votes
for senior Gambou validate the clCc-
ton under our laWs7 This is what
President Wilson should ind out. 10
is unjust and irrational on his part
20 declare from Washington under
the suggestion of the Madero family
that ne will not accept the result oi
our elections.
