--7TIle convention that Carran2a nad
called to meet in Mexico City opened
it's sessions on the appointed day. Car
rama rendered his resignation as First
Chief to the convent ton and asked the
delegates to accept it If they thought
thereby such action would be con-
duciye to establishing permanent
peace in Mexico The convention
unanimously rejected his resignation
and passed a vote of confidence In the
First Chief. ;,
Villa and his army of the North had
refused to send delegates to this con-
vention. In last effort to settle the
difficulty between the Division of the
North and the remainder of the Con-
stitutionalist. army, certain leaders
among the Constituencies proposed
that a commission be sent to treat
with Villa and that the convention
itself adjourn from Mexico City. to
Aguascalientes. Carranza, foreseelng'
as afterwards came to pass, the tutll-
itv of this action, opposed it, but final
~ allowed the delegates Of their own
volition to move to Aguascallentes 10
treat with the chiefs Of the Northern
Division.
: Primarily the purpose of the Aguas'
calientes meeting was simply TO en-
deavor to persuade Villa to send rep
resentatives to the convention. Alter
wards it usurped sovereign powers
that it did not possess and which
Carranza never sanctioned. But Car
rama, putting aside the considerations
and rising nobly to the demands of the
situation, expressed to the conven-
ton in writing his willingness not
only to resign as First Chief in charge
of the executive power of the nation
but to become an exile from MS coun-
try if the delegates ask this OF him:
The single condition that he stated
must govern this abdication was that
villa should resign his command Of
the Constitutionalist army Of the
North and if the convention so de-
