Oregon Defies Reaction.


General Oregon has issued the fol
owing statement:
"The Gales government has had
eloquent opportunity to demon
strate to the world that it's policies
have merited the sanction of the
whole country, because upon the
Gomez-S errano revolutionary move
ment being attempted, the entire
nation with very rare exceptions
condemned the movement, protest
ed adhesion to the government and
readiness to uphold with arms if
necessary the institutions that the
government represents and has
known so successfully how to de-
fend.
IF the Gomez-Serrano effort
had an echo in the public con-
science, its movement would not
have been confined to half a dozen
faithless army officers, not even
supported by their subordinates,
but, instead, there would have been
many outbreaks which would have
surged spontaneously among the
civilian elements of the tos7ns and
rural districts.
But now the nation win be cor
Gomez Incapable.
WINGED that among the grand fruits
the revolution has brought us is
the Incompatible benefit of making
impossible that the triumph of
military revolution can be deci-
sive factor in our political cam
paigns, but, on the contrary, show
ing that such questions are to be
settled by a democratic campaign,
judged exclusively by public opin-
ION.
with regard to Gomez, there
never was any danger that he
would succeed in grouping around
his personality any significant nu-
cleus of members of the army. His
vanity caused him to consider him
self superior to everybody else, for
which other army officers could not
pardon him for the errors into
which false friends led him.
These friends profited so much
while Serrano was governor of the
federal district, that they figured
how much more would they profit
If Serrano were president, and so
they proclaimed him their candi-
date.
SerranO Misled.
'Serrano, despite his graciousness
and talent, had not had contact
with the popular soul and spirit
Of the nation, nor had he ever done
anything which constituted a guar
antee of the interests of the prole-
tariat of the towns and country, as
opposed to the interests of reac-
ton within or without our country.
"The recent tragic developments
may surprise foreign and superb
cial observers, but not those of us
who being in the fight for all these
years, know the elements opposing
the triumph of the Mexican revo-
luton.
Those elements succeeded in
alluring Gomez to their designs,
understanding that they could not
control public opinion enough in a
fair democratic election and de-
termining to resort to an attempt
at arms.
II told friends early in the presi-
Dental election campaign that
within ninety days my opponents,
seeing their inability to win in a
fair election, would resort to arms,
but that, because of the organiza-
ton, discipline and high sense of
duty of the army, very few mill
tary elements would follow them,
and the effort would be a complete
failure. My prediction has been
verified"
Gomez Eliminates.
AtC nlitS4lltllL VI LlG COUulEl
general, Gomez, as sen
abroad to his agents there is as fol
lows:
"Perote, Vera Cruz.-Please in
form the American people that my
present attitude has been forced
upon me by intrigues Matched by
Alvaro Oregon, who has taken ad-
vantage of the weakness of Pres
ident Gales, whom | have always
considered sincere.
at is well known among Mexi-
cans that if had prepared revo-
luton, the present events would
have developed in a very different
manner-given my military capa-
c'sy. my experience and knowledge
Of the ground on which l find my
sell.
but my conduct since l first ac-
cepted the nomination Of the anti.
re-electionist party for the presi-
dency of the republic has been one
of strict legality and observance OF
orr democratic code.
when, in spite of this, learned
hat there was a plot on foot to as.
Sass mate both Serrano and myself
