Of the address:
Brother Senators: You have all read
with profound interest that Presidential
message on September is by Nictorlano
Huerta. Undoubtedly the said message
filled you with indignation on account OF
the manys bare falsehoods that the state
ment contained Who is TO be fooled and
misled by this message7 The national
Congress? No All Of it's members are
persons Of intelligence who know the ac-
tual conditions OF our country. II is meant
20 mislead the Mexican nation. my noble
fatheriand, which has confided In our IN
tegrity as patriotic Mexicans. has placed
IN our hands and In our consciences her
| greatest interests what ought this ma
tlonal assembly 10 do under the circum-
stances? Correspond honestly with the
duty which our country exacts of us tell
the truth even though it cost Ne our lives.
The truth is this: During the govern
ment OF Don VictoTiano Huerta nothing
has been done. absolutely nothing. tow
ard the paciication OF the country.
The situation II now infinitely worse than
ever before In the annals OF our entire
history The revolution has embraced
every state In the union. Many nations
formerly our friends now shun US on ac-
count Of our illegality our monetary sys-
TEN is deprecated and ruined our credit
is agonizing The entire press OF the re-
public is muzzled. gagged or cowardly sold
to the government and systematically
hides the truth. our rural districts are
abandoned. and. finally. hunger and mis-
cry are about 10 envelope the entire
nation
who. is responsible for this terrible
condition?
| First and primarily IL is due 10 the
fact that the Mexican people Will never
! resign themselves to the fate Of accepting
! Don Victorano Huerta as President OF
| this republic. the soldier who seized the
executive power by means Of treachery
and whose very first act on assuming the
stolen office was to assassnate the legally
! constituted executives OF our common
wealth. IL having been President Madero
who promoted and showered honors and
distinction on this same Victoriano Huer-
Ia. who publicly swore loyalty. hdelity and
allegiance to the murdered President
And. secondly. this horrible condition is
due to the direct means employed by Don
Nictoriano Huerta attempting to pacify.
You all know what these means are. Only
death and assassination and extermina-
ton for all men, people and families who
are not in accord with his idea OF govern
ment.
in his mad desire to hold the Presi-
dency he has brought us to the very brink
of an international conflict with the Unit
cd States and the very first two who
Will run as soon as war is declared Will
NJ Victoriano Huerta and Aureliano Blan-
! quet, because these two degenerates are
branded with the living brand of towards
and all true soldiers and patriots Will soon
repudiate them.
The national Congress ought TO i'm
peach Victoriano Huerta. for he is the
cause of the present revolution. You will
answer me, brother Senators, that the I'M
dertaking is perlous; that Victoriano
Huerta is a sanguinary soldier who mnr-
ders without scruples all who appear as
obstacles in his way. That is nothing,
gentlemen. Our ration exacts some sacri-

for murder. do you still believe i'm him?
| Now when you see clearly you know that
he is degenerate, inefficient impostor
who is carrying the ship OF state to actual
ruin Do you fear death?

on earth. and as | was unable to hire a
printing press to print this, | ask that
every one who gets it may make several

wish that there were but one fearless
printer In Mexico who would print this"
