Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1913-11-01

as follows. President WliSOh uaS ho'
resolved to proceed frankly and open
w against Mexico, doubtless because
he comprehends the colossal MUS
tice of his cause. But he searches
for allies and accomplices in the crime
AGAINST humanity plotted in the white
house of annihilating and despoillng
IFS as in the time of Santa Ana. 10
this end tend all the efforts OF the
Puritan president and we know by re-
cent dispatches that an effort is being
made to bring about a combined dip
lomatic move by at least some of the
European powers to sanction acts
which the American government may
attempt against Mexico.
ut is said that France, England
and Germany will aid President VIII
son in the work, either by interven'
Ition or through Carranza, or by oblig
ing Provisional President Huerta to
5renounce the high post he occupies
We are still obliged to believe that
the friendly powers which voluntarily
and openly recognized General Huerta
as provisional president of Mexico
will not aid the United States, either
morally or materially because tins
would be the evidence of fragrant
contradiction at variance with the llf
lternational practices and the decorum
iof honorable government.
El Pals continues: president Will
son has doubtless tried to wheedle the
European governments into the per-
| fidious belief that violation of the sur
frage in Mexico is notorious, that FRO
yisional President Huerta, is 10
blame, that he cannot now be cohslo,
cred by them as the constitutional
president and that those governments
are not obliged to stand by their rec
ognition of him. Nothing can be
more sophistical nor more unjust than
such an argument.
Nobody but ourselves has any
right to determine whether General
Huerta has violated the suffrage; no
body but ourselves should place the
RESPONSIBILITIES; none but our own au'
thorities conformable to our laws
should refuse TO recognize him, de
pose him, submit him to a process or
condemn him to death.
Foreign governments cannot mix
in this sort of thing. They should ig
more it completely as they are inca
/ pacitated by grency, by moral decen
cy. and by common sense to fix the
political course of other countries.
The newspaper says it cannot be
lieye in the arrangement which Pres
ident Wilson proposes, because in lht
world there are honorable men who
esteem decorum, who keep theil
pledged word and who are sincere
and loyal There are also govern
ments, honorable upright. Just ant
impartial (which guard the honor o
the country which they govern ant
don't besmirch it with the mud o
ruinous passions and egotistical inter
ests simply because their victim Il
weak and it's resources are depleted.

Ell Pals Comments.
; Mexico City, Nov. 1.--El Pals. tn
nearest approach to an independen
newspaper in Mexico City, today ed
torially admits government infuenc
lin last Sundays election 1t saws:
'It is evident and notorious that tn
atrocities secured the triumph of tn
Huerta- Banquet ticket. This we don
deny or doubt, but it is far cry frol
what may have occurred to questionin
the validity of the elections.
Suppose the Huerta-Blanquet ticke
had not been put out, would the vote
cast for them have gone to Manut
: Calero, Federico Gamboa of Fell
[ ''Diaz? 1t is clear they would not, b.
y cause they were artificial votes, i
0 vented and non-eXistent.
"And what if this be so? Is it mi
= terialIy possible for Mexico to have
0 valid election in the present circur
: stances of revolution and political di
order? That Federico Gamboa r
I ceived more votes than anybody W
e already know, because he was backe
= by a. strong party: but would thos
votes for Senor Gamboa validate tn
l. election under our laws?
l. "This is what President Wllso
y should find out. IT is unjust and lrr
d tional on his part to declare fro
n Washington under the suggestion
y the Madero family that he will not
e cent the result of our elections"
