HUERTA SURE POWERS
WILL, INDICATE HIM

when peace i'm the republic would permit
citizens in all parts OF the country ireely
to cast their votes.
Now. in view of the fact that through
reports which the government has re-
ceved, there exists a vehement presuf1p-
ton that because OF II having been I'M
possible to carry on the voting IN the
number of polling places PRESCRIBED py
law. SO that the election may be consio-
cred as the true manifestation OF the VIII
of the people, and II s foreseen that sdiu
Presidential election will be declared nuli'
he wishes to make known once more 10
the country and TO the whole world that
in accord with his determination. he VIII
continue exerting himself for the pacif-
cation of the country in order TO be able
to guarantee the absolute freedom ana
efficacy Of the new elections which Con-
gress must call.
Looking to Other Nations.
AS a necessary consequence or that
declaration, I'm the same manner, ne
wishes to make known once more before
friends and outsiders that being respect
full toward 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 him
self constltutonally impeded from being
validity elected. he will on no account
take into consideration the votes which
may have been cast In his favor, and no
matter what may be the resolution of
Congress he will not accept i'm this case
the constitutional Presidency OF the re-
public.
Relying. as the President does rely. upon
the solemn and important offer of the
honorable citizens who figured as candi-
dates for the Presidency and Vice-Presi-
dency. and who represent all the political
parties of the republic, sure that the
most perfect harmony will reign between
the three powers of the Union and that
the governments of the world will recog-
nze without exception that only the
present government can call new elections
and guarantee their freedom and efficacy.
he hopes to be able 10 fulfil easily within
the period which Congress shall designate
his sacred duty OF consulting the ma
tional desire to consecrate by the suf-
frage OF the people the Executive who is
to rule definitely the destinies of the
country. Otherwise the realization of the
Executives programme would not be pos
sible within long period of time.
This programme consists OF peace and
legality. which are the only mediums In
which the elections may become the eX
preston of the true popular Will. in which
the individual, native as well as foreigner.
may enjoy full guarantees. and In which
the economic development OF the republic
may permit all social classes to gather
the fruits OF their labora and the prod
ucts OF their capital.
