whom he considers as his official
 family, and, both fallaciously
 and perversely, to tampering with the very Plan of Guada- | lupe. He made believe that he
 was taking charge of the Ex-
 ecutive Power as First Chief of | the ConStitutionalist Army and | not as Provisional President;
 thus giving false interpreta-
 tiOn to the 5th and 9th clauses
 of that plan, pretending to show that the First Chieftancy of the Constitutionalist army and the Provisional Presidency are dis
 tinct political conditions that
 will not prevent his being le-
 gally elected president. With
 this idea guiding him, as Charge
 of the Executive Power, he pro-
 poses, under his military dict
 atOrShip and the auspices of the
 commanders of the states, to
 bring about the election of De-
 putieS to the National Congress.
 and, this object once accomplish
 ed to suit his fancy, to name as
 president ad interim one of his
 uncomprOmising friends, so that
 he (Carranza) might be qualified
 to announce his own candidacy as ConStitutionaliSt President, sustaining the theory already disseminated in the press that is supporting him, that "revolu- tiOnary situations are not con- Stitutional situations.
 Proceeding from this sophism, which is inspired for no other purpose than for the interests of a party bearing his name, and by which the essentially revolution: ary principles and the Father land are betrayed, he wishes to perpetuate himself in power either as First Chief of the Con- Stitutionalist Army, or as Con- Stitutional President, for the re- aSon that both offices are entirely distinct and consequently are not included in the restrictions pro- vided for such case by the Po- litical Constitution of the Re- public, inasmuch as, by taking charge of the Executive Power as Chief of the Constitutionalist Army, he was not fulfilling any Constitutional requirement..
 This falsehood and this be- trayal of the popular aspirations on the one hand, and, on the other, his unpatriotic determina- tion to demolish all that Law or Governmental Organization stands for, in order to establis Military Power upon the ruins of the Fatherland; his lack of respect for the legally constitut- ed State Governments which ef- fectively and powerfully assist ed the popular movement against the usurpation; the un- limited franchises which he has given to his fatterers; his in- justices to those citizens who have sacrificed everything for the Fatherland; his obstinate and wicked resistence to the achievement of the agrarian re- forms to satisfy the needs of the people; and, finally, his immeas- ureable ambition to become Milit- ary Dictator, have been more than abundant reasons for the patriotic diSavowal made by the Chief of the Division of the North, which disavowal this State of Sonora seconds with all her power, because she con- siders it to be just and of great md fruitful benefit to the future prosperity of the Nation.
 Therefore I have deemed it pest to adhere myself to the dis avowal and to resolve:
 1st. In the name of the peo- ole of the state of Sonora, whose patriotism I once more Proclaim, Venustiano Carranza $ hereby disavowed as First Chief of the Constitutionalist Army and as Charge of the Ex- ecutive Power of the Republic.
 2nd. Let this resolution be to all the military Lnd civil authorities of the state Us well as to the officials in the Q ederal service.
