liberate intention of excluding the divi-
sion of the north from the discussions
on the most far'reacbing affairs of the
eoBstitutionalist revolution. Also he
did not care TO appear in the light of
refusing to exert the last efforts toward
conciliation. Besides, he considered it
necessary for the benefit of the reyolu-
ltion that the real designs of Villa be ,
revealed in clear manner before the
national conscience in order to rescue
from their error those who in good
faith believed in the sincerity and pa
.triotism Of Villa and the men who sur.

Hardly had the labors of the mill. =
tary convention been initiated in
Aguascalientes when the intrigues OF
the Villa agents in that city, who
were permitted. to dominate, were ex
posed. II was generally felt that a
system of threats and oppression
without restraint was put into prac.
tise against those who, owing to their
spirit of Independence and sense of
honor, resisted the violence which
the head of the Division of the North 7
exercised in order to lead the labors /
of the convention according to his |

Likewise, many Of the leaders who
attended the convention Of Aguascali. /
entes failed thoroughly to understand !
the Importance and real mission of
the convention, and, being little versed +
in Political affairs, were deceived in
.',eqd faith by the moievolence of the
Nllista agents and were dragged on
.unknowingly to uphold the stratagems
OF the Division of the North, ignoring
the cause of the people, not even APP I
iprcr'ating the general meaning of the
revolution and the program of the pre-.
constitutional government, which at
that time it was vital to keep in mind

Villa depended upon, and which were 7

President Nadero from proceeding in
a more radical manner and which. i
therefore, were the politicians that
were responsible for his downfall; and
likewise the categorical declarations
made on different occasions by the
leader of the division of the north
Ihiplself to the effect that it was dc.
siraple that the constitutional order

that Villa 5 rebellion had definitely

Gounteraet the complete triumph of
the revolution by preventing the

country has been struggling for the
