HUERTA DICTATOR.

Ii President Wilson had wanted
any vindication for his refusal to rec
Iognize the murderer Huerta as pres
ident of the Mexican republic, 1t has
been a%bundantiy supplied in the lat
est tyrranical act by that self-ap-
| pointed ruler. His action in sending
to the state penitentiary ITO mem
bers of the Mexican chamber of dep
uties because they would not at his
order withdraw a resolution of warn
ing signed by these members shows
him to be a dictator at heart. When
Huerta's reply to the resolution and
demand for its retraction was read,
it was moved at once 10 refer the
communication to a committee.
Huerta's representative demanded
immediate action and when it was
refused, a small army of soldiers ar
rested all who had signed the origin
al resolution and confined them In
the state penitentiary. Shortly after,
Huerta dissolved the Mexican con-
gress and called. for the election OF
new members next month.
Senator Rodriguez started the
warfare between Huerta and the
Mexican congress by delivering a
.peech a month ago attacking the
Huerta administration and pointing
out that under it conditions in Mex
leo had only grown worse. A few
: days ago Rodriguez disappeared and

sions without coercion by Huerta.
u 1t is understood in Washington

u gated congress for the purpose O
giving him control of the new major
IS ity. That is to say, 1t is anticipate,
that Huerta will control the cleo
a. lions, in behalf of his candidate
d Gamboa, because he has possession 0
d the army and because Mexican cleo
n tons have usually been little NOR
than farces. Having done away wit
al congress and asked for the election
he of a new membership, he no doub
t. plans not only to choose the mex
c. president but also to give him a ma
jority in congress that will endors
ut any policy he may wish to adopt.
