controlling the government, they did
not hesitate to enter into a low con-
spiracy with Huerta, Diaz and Leon
de la Barra. They threw aside even
their consciences, using such meth
DDS as should meet the contempt and
hatred Of all honest men.
When Americans know and realize
the truth of the existence Of this
conspiracy which eliminated in the
murder of President Francisco l. Ma
dero and Vice-President Jose Maria
Pine Suarez, their blood will boil
with indignation. For all true men
of whatever creed, or of no creed,
will despise, condemn and repudiate
any body Of men (like the Catholic
party of Mexico) who, in order to at
tain their ultimate end, the repeal Of
the Laws of Reform, and to regain
their former power, would stoop so
low as to accept the results Of such
acts of infamy, treachery and muir
der, and join their strength and pow
er to that of traitors and assassins,
The principles of the Madero Gov
eminent were based on Masonic
ideas. He and his Government be-
lieved in the Brotherhood of Man in
uplifting the masses, in the true
spirit Of goodwill to all men, in inn
partial justice for all the people, and
in the destruction Of intolerance and
fanaticism.
The principles of Masonry were
deeply instilled in the heart of Ma
dero and his Government. Based on
these principles Madero spared the
life of Felix Diaz, who had forfeited
it in Vera Cruz, where he was de-
feated and taken prisoner by General
Beltran after his first revolt.
President Madero, with the help of
Vice-President Pine Suarez Cloth
Masons of the highest degrees) be-
lieYed, and, what is more to the pur-
pose, put into practice, even in the
machinery of the Government, practi-
cal Masonry. His was Masonry
that meant enlightenment for the
people; a Masonry that did not speak
but acted, having always in view the
advancement and the education of
the masses, with absolute faith in his
brethren to carry out all the princi-
pies Of truth contained in the Masonic
Code. The Catholics in Mexico on
the other hand have been, were and
are today opposed to uplifting the
masses. Their policy has been and
is that of bigotry and fanaticism.
Their interests have been and are to-
day Joined with the 10000 who own,
practically, the whole Republic of
Mexico against the 100000 that
are the tools of the few. The 49,
600, 900 have always been kept by
them where We now find them, for
the priests know that if through Ma
sonic principles the populace receive
light the Catholic Church would soon
lose it's hold over them.
Madero represented honor and
treachery and cunning, and, unfor-
tunately for him, he had faith in all
men. The Catholic party stands
guilty today of base combination
and they are morally guilty of the
assassination of President MaderO
and Vice-President Suarez They
lent their moral aid for it's accom-
plishment. They are responsible for
the present revolution in Mexico, be-
cause of their intrigues with Huerta
and Diaz.
Prompted by ambition, Pascual
OroZco fought against the Madero
Government, and here begins the his
tory of General Huerta in connection
with the Government. Huerta Of
fered to Madero his help and sup
port, and received from him and the
War Department their full conf
dence. He professed to be Mr.. Ma
