The younger element OF Mexico Is
/ in power" said MI Pesqueira. This
element has tried for years TO point
the way TO progress and sound inter-
national conduct, but Carranza and
his administration brushed the young
men aside. We waited patiently and
even consented TO abide an election.
But when it appeared an election
would not be legal and that Carranza
proposed TO put some choice Of his in
power. Mexico arose. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that Carranza met his end as
he did. Everything possible was
done to save him from such an end.
But now We propose to put Mexico in
her true place among the nations and
TO bring about those friendly rela-
tons between America and Mexico
which the best people OF both coun-
tries so much long for.

the Americans But we viii give

ages There is no place for such a
person in these modern days. And in !
