In conformity with the provisions
Of article 81 of the constitution the

Huerta's Programme.

The political programme Of the
provisional government, constituted
in this manner from that time. has
been defined perfectly and concen-
trated on two fundamental proposi-
tons To re-esta blish peace IN or
der that extraordinary elections
might be held In compliance with the
already cited article 81 OF the con-
stitution. In order to turn over the
executive power to the one designed
by the popular will at these elections,
and TO respect and make, respected
the law. In compliance with this
programme, the executive launched e
call for elections, taking care that
there should be fixed for their hold
ing q time which he deemed prudent,
not only that the preparatory work
might be carried out. but also that
the republic might return 10 state
OF order which had been deeply dis
turbed in some OF the northern
frontier states and also. though IN a
much less degree. In other sttaes.
Acting IN accord with the Initiative
OF the executive and in compliance
with the constitutional precept
quoted. the congress OF the union
convoked special elections to be held
October 26 past. since IL was be-
lieved by that time peace would be
successfully esta blished In all the
republic and fair elections guaran-
teed,

POLICY OF WILSON
ONCE MORE STATED

LONDON, Nov. l0.--Walter II. Page,
United States ambassador, today pre-
sented to the British foreign office an
other message from President Wilson, the
general effect Of which is that under no
circumstances will the president recog
nize President Huerta or any OF his acts.
President Wilson's message is regarded
here as In the nature OF an interim re-
port not calling for a reply.
Great Britain therefore awaits a more
definite pronouncement from President
Wilson setting forth precisely the steps
ne purposes to take 10 enforce his policy
before sending formal reply.
British officials are inclined TO resent
what they term the persistent misrep
resentation OF Great Britain'a attitude
current in the United States. They deny
that any British money has been ad
yanced TO support Provisional President
Huerta.
The message from President Wilson to
the British foreign office was delivered

Now, in view of the fact that
through reports which the govern

lent presumption that because Of II
having been impossible to carry on
the voting in the number Of polling
places prescribed by law so that the
election may be considered as the
true manifestation OF the Will of the
people, and It is foreseen that said

himself for the pacfication OF the

flcency of the new elections which
congress must call. AS a necessary
consequence OF that declara ton. In
the same manner he wishes to make

ward the law and persuaded that by
virtue OF his having occupied the
post of president OF the republic,
while the election was being held he
considers himself coustitutionally i'm

Relying, as the president does,
upon the solemn and important offer
OF the honorable citizens who figured
as candidates for the presidency and

all the political parties of the re-
public, sure that the most perfect
harmony will reign between the three
powers OF the union and that the
