VILLA FAVORS
MEXICO
EL PASO, Oct. 11—General Villa
has protested strongly against the sug
gested recognition of the Carranza
government by the United States.
Villa says that a coalition should be
formed, comprising representatives of
all the warring factions, and that un
der the direction of this body, an elec
tion to chose a president be heid. He
says that this would he the best and
only way to bring about peace in
Mexico, as, the people would then
chose their leader, and the president
would not be put in his chair by armed
force. Villa positively asserts that
the recognition of Carranza will not
produce the much desired peace. He
snid that he and his adherents would
fight Carranza and his followers to the
end, that his troops are still able to
put up a serious resistance, and that
despite the claims of Carranza, the
followers of Villa in other parts of
Mexico are growing in number. Villa
aaid that neither Carranza or any of
the latter's commanders could defeat
his army, and he further asserted that
•Carranza represented the money inter
ests of Mexico, and that the rich would
be favored and the poor downtrodden
nnder Carranza. Villa Ifkened the
rule of Mexico under Carranza to the
Diaz and Huerta regimes, and claimed
that no lasting peace could be se
cured with such man at the head of
affairs.
