ces, born Of usurpation and violence" f"
had its origin in the State of Tabasco,

organized rebel army of $500 we'll
equipped men, declared himself for the
I denunciation of the Carranza consti-
tuition and urged the reestablishment
Of the 1857 constitution. 1t is under

! Efforts were made by these followers
of General Diaz to get the support of
! the Carranzistas in the United States
and elsewhere for joint military action
against President Obregon, but these
attempts were wrecked because of diff
ferences over the constitution. The
| Diaz followers insist that the country
shall revert to the conservative law of
1857 and that the radical 1917 conSti-
tuition shall be outlawed.
Carranzistas Refuse Support
The Carranzistas refuse to join in a
revolt which calls for the overthrow of
kthe constitution which Venustiano Car
| rama framed and forced on the coun-
try, although they have been sympa-

At present there is wide breach be-
tween the Diaz followers and the Car
ranzistas over the constitutional issue.

that the forces being organized to over
throw "the individuals who have
| usurped the national and state govern

General Diaz shall be both military and
administrative head Of the revolt and
provides "the bases for the organiza-
tion of the provisional government Of
| Mexico and the re-est establishment of the
constitutional order"
The proclamation says that the pro-

assisted by cabinet and provisional
legislative and judicial council. The
council shall comprise "three citizens
of good repute," says the proclamation,
and shall approve the laws promul-

The President shall have the power to
