oI-N'' far election could be hcld He felt he was able to keep peace in the country. The army, he said, was with him, and it had never been with Madero at heart
 Two matters of tremendous importance 70 Huerta occurred almost immediately The hardy Npnustiano Carranza, one of Maderos closest friends governor of a northern state, student of socialism and democracy. declared that he would fight the new government. And the United States government refused to recognize the government founded by Huerta.
 Mexicans Have Not Forgotten
 Huerta had oyerreached himself in per hitting the staying of Francisco Madcro The killing of Gustavo Madero would prob ably have been condoned by the world at large; it certainly would have been con doned by the Mexican people, for, though they liked Madcro the president they hated Gustayo for his lack of conscience and felt that it was Gustavo who was making Fran ciscos administration 9 failure through graft and cruelty But the staying of the little president, the gentle man who would not kill Diaz when Diaz was in his power and who would not take the life of Reyes when Reyes had tried to take his; who almost faithfully followed the Biblical ad monition to turn the other cheek, and who was true to his big dream that human rights stand above all other rights, WAS an atfront to all human progress. The man who slew such q leader tried to overthrow the hopes of common humanity
 | k not to be wondered at that the United States government refused to rocog- uize LIuerta a5 provisional president Eng land, however, hurrcAIy recognized the presidency of Hucrta, bu. there is small wonder for this, because Huorta was friendly to inc English oil interests cf Maz- ;co, and Lord Cowdray head of these in .cre~.s, was leader of the ruling party in England Other nations followed Eng lands lead.
 Woodrow Wilson tool, office as President of the United States He declared that 5Iuerta must not hold office as president of Mexico; that presidency gained by blood he'd and treachcry could not be upheld in any country in America.' This seemed like -heer talk for time Hucrta didn't get out; his government continued in power. But the passage of few weeks showed the force of Wlson'S declarations Huerta sent emissaries to Europe to sell an issue of S200,0Jo,0C0 l@ilyerJ in bonds But the European bankers said We cannot take these bonG> until the United States recog- uizes as legal the government established 5y IIuerta.'
 Desparat3 for Funds ! Tie efforts oi tIuerta to gain funds grew more and more desperate Leaders of the 1 people arose against him. The French reyo- luton has nothing more grim and terri pIe to show than the incidents of the days hal followed. One senator made his will at his home and marched down to the senate chamber He arose and said in sub stance:
 These are my last words, my will and testament to the Mexican people, whom l love- l believe I shall perish for what am going to say, but here and now I de clare that Niccoriano Huerta is a tyrant 1 who must be overthrown." That night he disappeared He has never been seen again ] Where his grave is not even his family 1 knows
 Another member of the house of depu- ties a young Mexican who was 8 graduate of Cornell college, in the United States was outspoken against Huerta. One even ing, dining al the home of American friends near his home he said at the table q am against Huerta and 1 have declared myself No one speaks publicly of all ot Huertas enemies who have been disap bearing so mysteriously of late, but l sup pose l will join the missing some finc day"
 He bade good night to his host at Il o'clock to walk three blocks to his home and he has never been seen again.
