El Paso, Texas, Oct. 7.—While I am a prohibitionist, and am earnestly desirous of suppressing the liquor traffic in my country, I believe that the reform should be gradually in Mexico and no in a drastic manner. This will be the policy of my administration,” declared President-elect Alvaro Obregon at Juarez yesterday.
Gen. Obregon came to Juarez to attend the International Exposition and military carnival, now in progress in El Paso. Gen. Obregon expressed himself as extremely grateful for the invitation, which, he said, marks the beginning of an era of good feeling between the American people and those of Mexico.
To-morrow Gen. Obregon will be the guest of Brig.-Gen R. L. Howze and the officers of the garrison at Fort Bliss, where a review will be held in his honor.
Gen. Obregon will be inaugurated as President of Mexico on Dec. 1.
Roberto V. Pesqueira, fiscal agent of the Mexican government in the United States, it is privately announced, will be named ambassador to Washington. Mr. Pesqueira accompanied the President-elect from Mexico City here.
