AStrongM Man, He Has Braved
All DiCtators Since Diaz
and Still Survives

1t was d little later IN the conversation that an eXplaua.
ton was made of how the name of TaEc was brought for
ward at this time, although It is admitted that no one knows
whether the man will accept.
Upon the death Of Nadero and Suarez. President and
V!ce-Frt>dent, respectively, under tho Constitution. the
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, Pedro Lascurain. became Presl-
dent for a few mnutes-that is long enough to resign and
turn the office over 10 his successor as Minister of Foreign
Affairs. Nictorano Huerta. Tho contention Of the Cons,i-
tutionalists is that 1ascuratns resignation was illegal, in
that the Chamber Of Deputies which accepted it vas not
properly constituted and that no quorum of legal deputies
existed. 1t seems that many Of the cautious Deputies sent
their siternates. who. under the Constitution. could not
lesislate until they had been sworn in. 1t is asserted they
never took the oath.
Lascuran therefore remained President, in the eyes OF
the Constituencies, until of his own act he ousted him
self from Office by leaving the country. There is 4 clause
in the Constitution ~forhiddng that The man who should
have ceen President when las-urain left tho country. ac.
cordinE to the strict Interpretation II tn. Constitution. was
the Minister of Gobernacor. who under Mtdero was Rafael
Hernandez, who also put himself out IT office 10y getting
