88. Referring to my telegram No. 87, November 29, 10 a.m. It is my opinion that a public announcement by the Department of President Borno’s message, pointing out that he is no longer a candidate and that a new President will be elected in April next, would have a most salutary effect in quieting the political activities of presidential candidates who are now aiding and abetting the striking students.8
