 Citizens of the State of Sonora:
 Fellow Citizens:
 General Villa has disavowed Venustiano Carranza as First Chief of the Constitutionalist army and as Charge of the EX- ecutive Power of the Republic. This resolution has been an i'm perative necessity. The chief of the division of the north did everything in his power, and most unselfishly, to try to avert this conflict. With the utmost prudence he endeavored to cor rect mistakes of the most Seri- ouS nature committed by Car ranza; understanding and very deeply feeling the tue aspira- tions of the people and of the fatherland, on many occasions, with the purest of patriotism, with singularly good judgment, he pointed out to Carranza the difficult political problems that should of necessity be solved before Carranza should assume the provisional presidency. For reply he received but deceptive promises and nothing positive for the true welfare of the peo- pie.
 Carranza's s conduct, immediate ly upon his entry into the City of Mexico. narrowed down to
