message received tonight from Mex
leo City at the local offices of large
corporations with interests in Mexico
City state that General Huerta met
serious opposition Friday from the
house Of deputies in regard to the pres
idential election which will be held
Monday.
Tho message dated Friday night,
states that the congress Intended to
take drastic means to prevent the
holding of the elections, alleging that
the internal situation in the republic
was such as not to warrant an cleo
ton at this time Against this Huerta
expressed a determination that the
election should occur on the day ap-
pointed and he Is said to have an
nounced the candidate whom he will
support It is believed that the cam
didate IS General Garcia Pena, al
though the Mexico City advices do NOT
state. General Pena was minister OF

his vice president were slain. He re-
signed to the congress that Huerta
dominated. The constitutionalists have

legal. Lascurain was suggested to the
mediators as a likely candidate for pro-
Visional president, but he was rejected
by the Huerta commissioners and by
the American Representatives under q
suggestion from this city, following 8
conference between Secretary Bryan
and the representatives of the consti-
tutionalists. Almost Immediately af-

reappointed him minister of foreign af-

never qualified.

TELLS
OF HIS HOPE FOR
AMERICAN NATION
Dream Is That United States
Will Be Turned to for
Moral Inspiration by the
Weaker Countries.

Philadelphia, July 4.-President
Wilson's hopes for the United States
as world power were given here to-
day when the chief executive spoke
at the anniversary of the signing of
the declaration Of Independence.
'Tf American enterprises in foreign
countries. particularly In those coun-
tries which are not strong to resist us,
take the shape of imposing upon and
exploiting the mass OF the people" he
said, "it ought to be checked and not
encouraged. am willing to get any
thing for an American that money
and enterprise can obtain except the
suppression of the rights of other men.
MY dream is that as the years go
on and the world knows more and
more of America, that 1t will turn to
America for those moral inspirations
which lie at the base of all freedom
that the world will never fear America
unless 1t feels that 1t Is engaged In
some enterprise which is inconsistent
with the rights of humanity, and that
America will come into the full light
of the day when all shall know that
she puts human rights above all other
rights and that her flag is the flag
not only Of America, but of humanity.
Eighty five per cent of the Mexi-
can people have never been allowed to
have any general participation In their
own government or 10 exercise any
substantial rights with regard to the
very land they live upon know that
the American people have a heart that
will beat just as strong for the mil
lions in Mexico as 1t had beaten or
will beat for any other millions else
where In the world and that when once
they conceive what is at stake in
Mexico, they will know what ought to
be done in Mexico"
The president said compensation
should be made for loss of foreign
ers' lives in Mexico He said the Mex
lean situation had back of it the strug
gle OF a people to come into its own
and while we look upon the incidents
in the foreground let us not forget
the great tragic reality In the back
ground which towers above the whole
picture.
Speaking Of the Panama tolls ques-
tion. the president said:
THE most distinguished nation In
the world is the nation that can and
viii keep its promises even to its owr
heart And want to say parentheti-
cally that l do not think anybody will
be hurt. 1 cannot be enthusiastic FOL
