File No. 812.00/6119.
The Governor of Texas to the President.
[Telegram.]
Austin, Texas,
February 12, 1913.
The continued disorders and the obligation of the United States to the world under the Monroe doctrine makes it now a duty for our Government to intervene in Mexico, not for conquest or territorial gain but to restore order and protect life and property, and I respectfully urge this course without delay.
O. B. Colquitt.
