f HUERTA ARGUES AGAINST AMERICAN |

I cannot and do not believe that i
there is really in the United States :i
any feeling of hostility against Mex- n
ico as a nation or against me as a a
Mexican, if unpleasant things have
happened to 'Americans in Mexico e
they have also happened to Americans >'
in Europe, during the war which is ? b
raging there. War is unpleasant, civ t
il war is especially unpleasant, and c
Mexico is and has been for a long b
time involved in civil war.
"Ah." you will say. "That proves v
that Mexicans are Incapable of selt- e
government, in these days." h
Wait a moment. Does it do that? h
I think not. Yon will have some t^if- t
fleultv in miming a South American i
country which has not been involved s
in civil war during the last half cen- c
tury. Are thej all incapable of self-'f
government? ?
"Ah." you will say. "South Ameri- t
can countries are notoriously quarrel- i
some. They always are fighting in t
South Anjerica." And then perhaps t
you will add with a smile and a shrug, t
"Ah. you know- they are Uutins. j
- And the Latins in America always are j
in a quarrel. It is a standing interna
tional joke. Somewhat grim, perhaps, i
but still an international joke." 1
Again let me beg of you to wait a" s
moment. How much more than 50 t
years ago Is it that you. yourselves. S
the people of the staid and sober non
Latin United States of North Ameri- i
ca were quarreling among yourselves? >
There is a iong shelf in ray library in i
Mexico City which is filled to overflow- \
:ng with histories of that quarrel 1
among yourselves. 1
Recalls Civil War Brigandage :
It was a lone quarrel anu a very
bloody one. My memory of It Is that i
it was not even free from what ac- I
curatelv might be denominated ban- 1
-iitago: it is even my impression that i
there were some recorded instances s
of that blackest of all crimes, the out- <
rage of womanhood, connected with
it. I am open to conviction of my or- t
ror if any one wishes to deny this I
statement.
It must be remembered that I do
not mention this in any spirit critical '
of the United States, i do not de- i
clare. for I do not believe, that all. or i
even an appreciable proportion of the <
men of the United States were ban- I
dits. then, were brutes who would :
outrage women, then, or that there
is any large proportion of such men
in the United States, today.
But such things did occur in the
United States at times during your
Civil War. You all deplored 'that c
fact then and you all deplore it now. (
But did it prove the United States in- *
capable of self-government?
Well. I deplore the fact that any- 41
thing of the sort has occurred in my 1
- own country during the period of dis
turbance which has followed the down 5
fall of the Government of Porflrio
Diaz. I take the liberty of maintain
ing. however, that the fact that such
things have happened do not prove
Mexico, either, to be incapable of self- i
government. i
War unlooses vicious passions and i
dishonesty in other countries than rj
poor Mexico. That is the point which ;
I wish to make in this argument.
I am sure that no people in the
whole world are of "fairer minds than
those of the United States. I wonder
if the thought which I have endeavored
rrrrn-m ? ?
0 suggest may not put a somewhat
iow aspect into some of the fair
ninds, whose owners will read this
rticle.
Mow would the people of the Unit
d State have felt, at any time during
our troubled and very bloody period
etween I860 and 1S65. if Great Bri
aln or any other of the several Eur
pean powers which may at that time
aye been stronger than you we're, or
f no one power was stronger than you
cere, a combination of all the Eitrop
an powers (which certainly would
,avo been stronger than you were.)
md decided in solemn conclave, in
heir own capitals, that you were do
ng too much fighting among your
elves, that you wero killing one an
ither very multitudinously, that your
ightiug among yourselves was cndan
:ering certain English pounds, French
rancs. German marcs, Austrian flor
ns. which were invested here, and
hat. therefore, out of consideration to
he value of human life in gonoral and
he value of foreign investments in
particular. you must forthwith stop
?our fighting and make peace?
Answer mo that question, if you
dease. Mr. Marshall. Mr. St. Louis
tepublic, Mr. American newspaper in
;eneraJ. ladies and gentlemen of large
tnd the population of the United
States.
1 am confident that if you answer
t frankly." you will say that all of you
,vho wen- alive then, and still arc liv
ng. and all of you who died in that i
var and have died in the years inter
ronlng between that war and the
jrcient day. very bitterly would have
?esontcd such an iuterforrence.
1 think you would have joined hands
Korth and South. Union men and con
Vderate man. and that you would
lave fought the invaders till the last
irop of blood in your bodies had been
spent in the struggle against such for
eign intervention.
If I a:u wrong in this estimate of
ho character of the American people
am very much surprised and very
sorry. I have a high regard for the
American character, as everyone must
lave, and I could not have a high re
ran! for any character, you could not
lave a high regard for any character,
which would not do exactly what I
lave suggested in such circumstances

shall be open for public inspection,
-and;"any one who desires may take a:
copy.
The census enumerator i are not to
ask whether a citizen is or is not in
favor of liquor being sold?they uro
only to take the name, residence and
occupation of every person found to be
qualllled.
The persons who intend to apply I
for a license must boar the expense of i
taking this census, and the persons ap
pointed must mnko arrangements with i
those who ilitend to be applicants asj
to their compensation, as the Court
has no funds at its disposal for such
purpose.
VOTING.
Having ascertained in the manner
aforesaid the total number of quali
fled persons, the next thing is to as-,
certain how many of them do. in good,
faith, consent.
For the purpose of ascertaining this'
(as nearly as possible) the U. S. Com
missioner will, on May 24th. be at the
City Hall In Ketchikan at all times be
tween 9 -a. m. and 7 p. in. and will
then and there receive and place In a
ballot box provided for that purpose,
the ballots of all the persons offering
to vote on the question; provided the
name of the person Is in the census
book and the person Is not challenged.
If any person offers to vote whose 1
name is not in the book, the ballot
will nevertheless be received if the
person swears that he (or she) pos
sesses the qualifications aforesaid. In
such case, however, the name, resi
dence and occupation of th^ person
shall be taken and his (or her) ballot
shall be placed not in the ballot box,
but must, by him (or her) be placed
in a separate envelope which shall be
sealed and marked with his (or her)
name and the word "Omitted"; said
envelope Is to be then handed to tne
Commissioner and is not to be opened
oxcept by an order of the Court and
in its presence, and not then unless
it be necessary so to do in order to
decide a consent.
If any person offering to vote is
challenged as not possessing the quail;
ileations required by law, as aforesaid,
the ballot shall nevertheless bo re
ceived if the person swears that he
possesses the qualifications -required.
In such case the name, residence and
occupation of the person shall be
taken, but his (or her) ballot shall b<
placed not in the ballot box, but must. |
bv him (or her), be placed in a sep
arate envelope, which envelope shall j
be sealed and marked with his (or
her) name and the word "Challenged";
and said envelope is to be then anil!
there handed to the Commissioner and
Is not to be opened except by an order;
of the Court and in its prosencc. and I
j not then unless it be necessary so to
do in ordci^to decide a consent.
The method of voting is as follows:
Those who consent to the sale of liquor
in Ketchikan during the year from
July l. to July 1. 191G. will write
the word "Wet" on the ballot; those
who are not in favor of liquor being
sold in Ketchikan during said year
will write the word "Dry" on the bal
lot.
j As each vote is received, if the
name or the person voting is in the
;census book the name shall be check
? ed. and if the name is not In the cen
sub book ft separate notation shall bo
made thereof. !
COUNTING.
When all hove voted who offer to ;
vote, the said U. S. Commissioner ? ?
shall proceed, publicly, to count those
ballots only which are in the ballot ?
box, and he shall cortify the result, !
and shall forward to the Clerk of the ;
Court the census books and all the ?
envelopes containing ballots.
If It appears from the counting of ?
the ballots In the ballot box that a
majority of all the qualified persons ?
have voted "Wet", the result will be
considered final, unloss those opposod ;
to the granting of llccnsoB show that .
there has been some fraud or unfair- |
ness affecting the result. A reasonable ?
opportunity will be afforded to make
this showing.
If It appears from the counting of .
the ballots In the ballot box that a '
mujorlty of all the qualified persons ?
lmve voted "Dry", the result will
be considered as final, unloss the per- ?
son desiring a license shows that there
has been some fraud or unfairness af- '
fccting the resulL A reasonable op- !
portunity will be afforded to mako
this showing.
If it appears from the counting of
the ballots in the ballot box that nei
ther side has a majority of all the
qualified persons, then the Court will
determine from evidence produced at .
a full hearing which, if any, of the
votes in the envelopes are entitled to
be counted, and will count them ac
cordingly.
If. 011 counting all the qualified votes
cast and considering the number of
qualified persons who did not vote, it
should appear that tho number of
votes cast on either side might bo
materially affected by counting the
number of qualified persons who did
not vote, then some equitable means
will be adopted to ascertain whether
or not those qualified persons who did
not vote do or do not consent to the
sale or liquor, and effect will be given
accordingly. It is for that purpose,
and also to give the liquor dealers an
opportunity to adjust their business
if the town should go "dry" that tho
j vote Is to be taken thus early.
PURPOSE OF ELECTION.
I cannot refrain from saying; that
[there will be no innocent or reason
I able misinterpretation of what I have
I said if you will boar in mind two
I things:
1. The iaw requires that the per
son desiring the license shall show to
the satisfaction of the Court that a
majority of the qualified persons (the
law does not say qualified voters)
have. In good faith, consented. There
fore it is up to you to show this, and
without such a showing, the Court is
powerless to grant a license.
2. The method adopted is designed |
primarily to afford persons an oppor
tunity to express their wishes without
publicity?that is. that the good faith
wishes of as many as possible may be
ascertained. For want of more con
cise name, the method pointed out is
spoken of as "Voilng" but this is not
strictly an election?it Is only n meth
od to allow a secret expression of
the consent or non-consent. The re
sult of the method adopted may, how
ever, be final because enough people
1 may vote to determine the question.
If only a small proportion of qualified
persons expres? ihoir prefereneo, the
result will no', afford a fair basis of a
test. It is therefore to the interests of
both sides to see thai as large a num
ber as possible cast their votes, be
cause if either side has in the ballot
box a majority of all qualified persons,
there will be no call for any further
effort to determine the mooted ques
j lion of consent or non-consent.
