File No. 812.00/6619.
The Provisional Governor of Sonora to the President.
The President: I take the liberty as a member of the National Congress of Mexico to enter protest against the recognition of the spurious government now attempting to be established by Huerta. President Madero never resigned and the alleged resignation presented to Congress was a forgery. There was no quorum present and the majority of members present were intimidated and coerced into approval by the display of soldiers and armed forces. The assassination of our constitutional rulers brings a serious responsibility upon those now seeking recognition.
