which admit Of no evasion, to protect
the country and the people II is my
special duty to maintain the repuphc

Recently many citizens from the
provinces have petitioned the acting Ill
Pa Yuan to clIange the form OF govern
ment-a state of things which is incom-
patible with my position as President.
But ~ the office OF President Is con-
ferred by the people, 1t should OF

1T being my duty to maintain the

AS to the petition OF the citizens,
their object is of course no other than
