pre- o = Of decree now made public.
g preamble makes plain that the
.itutionalist program as set forth
in the Guadeloupe constitution, adopted
In 1918, and elaborated at Vera Cruz
in 1914, shows clearly that 1t was pro-
vided that when their cause, was
triumphant and military elections had
taken place. the first chief should call
for the election OF congress, give an
account OF his actions and have his re-
port ratified or modified by congress.
He then was to call general elec-
tion and turn over the power Of gov
ernment to the legally elected presi-
dent. General Carranza calls attention
to the fact that the constitutionalists
have carried out their program, even
going to the extent Of imperiling the
nation by standing for the rights OF
the country, contrary to the attitude
of a neighboring republic.
Dictatorship Not Sought.
He declares that the reforms pro-
tected are not Intended to lead to the
establishment Of dictatorship. The
government to be established will be
Of such form as to demonstrate cat
egorically that sovereignty resides
within the people. Both federal and
state rights will be respected and the
spirit Of the constitution will be car
ried out. The only purpose Is to purge
the constitution Of defects in the way
Of obscurity.
The election Of delegates to the con-
stitutional assembly will be held Oct.
Is. Business sessions will begin Dec.
