Gent of Mexico: resignation OF the reins
OF authority to him by Gen Huerta, the
present provisional president of the re-
public. and the preparation by the re-
called executive for general and popular
elections for president to succeed him in
office in 1916
This is the suggestion FOR "A solution
OF the Mexican problem. satisfactory To
national and international interests pro-
posed by a prominent Mexican, a man OF
onclai experience in high places thor
oushly acquainted with both existing In
ternal and external complications

relations as they appear at this time.
this plan Is supplemented with the propo.
sition that Gen. Carranza, chief OF the
insurrectory forces In the north Of Mexi
co. be made vice president
Follower of D.az.
Gen. CarranZa was a consistent follow

ed TO be in sympathy with the cause OF
Madero, fighting for liberal ideals he
was firm for the retention of Gen. Diaz
III the presidency. That the constitution
al.sts, under the influence of Gen. Car
ianza would subscribe to the plan il
seriously advanced, is the opinion of its
author.
