, the presidency don VictOrianO Huerta
1 is committing another infamy: He
/ is provoking an international conflict
with the people of the United states
, of America, in which, if resolved by
force of arms all MexicanS surviving
the butcheries of don VictOriano Huerta
would stoically go to give and receive
death and all would be there except
don Victoriano Huerta and don Aure-
liano Banquet, because this miserable
twain is marked with the stigma OF
treachery and the people and the army
would repudiate them if such an &C.
casion ever arose.
This in q summary is the sad reality.
To the weak spirited our ruin seems
inevitable because don Nictoriano
Huerta has taken such hold Of power
that in order to insure the success OF
his nomination to the presidency of
the republic in the mock elections an
nOunced for October 20 next, he has
not hesitated to violate the sovereignty
OF most of the sta1s, Withdrawing
constitutional governors and imposing
military governors who viii take care
to mock the people by means of Grim
inal and ridiculous farces.
Nevertheless, gentlemen, a supreme
effort can save il all. Let the house of
representatives perform its duty and
the country shall be saved and II VIII
again thrive in greater proportions,
prOuder and more lovely than ever
The house of representatives must
depose don VictOrianO Huerta from
the presidency of the republic, he be-
ing the person against whom all our
brothers up in arms are 5ustifiedly pro-
testing and consequently he being the
person who is the least able to carry
out the task of pacification-suprem
hope of all Mexicans.
You may answer me gentlemen, that
the attempt is dangerous, that don
Victoriano Huerta is a blood thirsty
and ferocious soldier who murders
without scruple or hesltancy ali VINO

tlemeni The country demands that you
do your sworn duty even with the dan
ger and certainty of losing your oWnllfe.
L in your anxiety to again see peace
erred. and you have believed in theetaol
reigning in the republic you have erred,
and you have believed in the fallaciouS
words of a man who promised you to
pacify the country in two months, and
you have appointed him president, now
that you clearly see that this man is an
unfit and wicked impOStOr who is rap
idly driving the country to ruin-for
fear of death-Wiu YOU permit him to
remain in Officer Fathom yourselves
gentlemen. and answer this question:
What would you say of the crew of a
storm tossed vessel in a heavy sea who
would choose as pilot butcher VINO
without any etaoiShrdluuuuuN
without any nautical knowledge would
navigate for the first time and who
had no other merit but that of having
betrayed and murdered the captain OF
Gentlemen, your duty cannot be put
aside and the country expects you TO
perform it. Once you have fulfilled
that first obligation it will be easy for
the house of representatives to fulfill
others to be derived therefrom, re-
questing at once all revolutionary
leaders to cease hostilities and to ap-
point delegates so that by mutual ac-
cord a president be elected whose duty
shall be to issue a-call for presidential
elections and to see that these shall
be carried out with all fairness.
The eyes of the world are upon US
gentlemen, members of MeXicO's ma
tional congress. and the fatherland
trusts that you viii honor
her before the world, avoiding her the
shame of having a traitor and an as
Sassin for its highest ruler.

It is necessary that all MeXicans |

shop to do this work, recommend
every reader to make five or more
copies also. inserting this foot note and
hen have Them distributed among their
friends and acquaintance residing in
the capital and in the states.
I wish that there were but one fear
less and honorable printer in Mexico
who would print this Farewell!
