Carranza, Venustiano, 1859-1920; Mexico -- History -- Revolution, 1910-1920; Mexico -- Politics and government -- 1910-1946
With the foregoing details, and prompted by the desire to maintain
order and peace in this district, I beg you to exert your good
influence with the government of Puebla, to have Mr. Acevedo return
to his post, and to have Mr. Ramon Vargas the present Judge, and also
Mr. Sidronio Primo, stay in their positions. The presence of Mr.
Felipe Ramirez, who still pretends to occupy the position of Judge in
this District, is very harmful to public interests, as is also the
presence of the Pinto brothers, so that although I harbor no feelings
of personal enmity towards them for I do not know them except from
hearsay, I beg to suggest the advantage of their being removed from
this locality, in whatever way you may deem most appropriate.
Kindly forgive the length of this letter, but I feel justified in
giving you all these details, for the sake of the preservation of
peace in this region, which has some importance due to its relations
to Puebla and Mexico.
Thanking you in advance for whatever you may deem fit to do in
the interests of the honest citizens who have given me the above
information, and which I transmit to you confidentially, I beg to
remain,
Very respy., etc., etc.,
EULOGIO G. GILLOW,
Archbishop of Oaxaca.
LETTER FROM MINISTER URRUTIA TO ARCHBISHOP MORA.
MEXICO, July 9th, 1913.
_Very illustrious Sir_--
Kindly allow me to acquit myself of the pleasant duty of expressing,
to you, very sincere thanks for the good assistance you have been
lending to the Government in the re-establishment of peace,--a task
the more useful because accomplishing it, as you are doing, with
intelligence and common sense, it might be able to effect a durable
benefit to the country.
In the name of the government to which I belong and with which you are
happily connected, I earnestly beg of you to continue your good work,
if possible, with more energy than before.
In this connection and prompted by the confidence which your kindness
invites, I take the liberty of telling you that some memorial services
held in honor of the Madero brothers, made a bad impression in social
circles, and especially on the Government, and therefore I would ask
of you to take such measures as you may deem necessary, to prevent a
repetition of demonstrations of this nature, which might contribute to
retard the success of the work undertaken by the Government in order
to put an end to our internal wars.
I also must call your attention to the necessity of stopping at all
costs, a certain person in the clergy, from continuing his propaganda
against the Government, and this for the same reasons as above
expressed. With your intelligence and tact, I am sure you will find
an efficacious means to put a stop to the workings of the person in
question.
I remain, etc., etc.,
URRUTIA.
