GENERAL GONZALEZ
ISSUES MANIFESTO
Declares He Never Intended
to Head Nation if Trying
to Do So Would Cause
Bloodshed.

Mexico City, via Laredo, Tex.-The
Ideals which animated General PapIo
Gonzalez when he declared against
the Carranza government are set forth
fully in a manifesto which he has al
dressed to the nation. Assurances Oh
public order, security OF property
rights. both Mexican and foreign own
ed and the announcement of his with
drawal as a candidate for president
TO further assure constitutional puDiic
order. are contained in the MANIFESTO
Particular interest is attached TO tne
declarations contained in the maniies'
TO in view of tho fact that GeneraI
Gonzalez has directed governmental
affairs since the flight of President
Carranza from the capital May Z, anu
that his nominees will exercise coh-
troll of government departments untli
congress names a constitutional presi-
dent. II is generally expected that
General Gonzalez will be the choice OF
the members of congress for provis-
ional president.
The manifesto, addressed ito the
Mexican people," declares that when
the position of the candidate OF the
Carranza government, with its train
of dangers for the future, became clear
to the eyes of the nation, Gonzalez
began the framing of a solution which
he hoped would develop the realiza-
tion Of his ambitions for national uni
ty. Announcing his retirement from
the field of candidates for president
OF the Mexican Republic for the COM
ing constitutional period flour years
from Dec /, 1920, Gonzalez points
out that he feared the possibility OF
friction between the military elements
which surround each one of the inde-
pendent candidates.
These resolutions" his manifesto
says, might be received with surprise
on the part of some, but by those who
have fully realized my actions since
/ became a candidate and when taking
part in revolutionary movements. the
conclusion have reached can not be
considered but as the natural result
Of the antecedents established by my
actions and declarations"
