Broadside praising General Victoriano Huerta as a patriotic leader who saved Mexico from chaos and foreign intervention after overthrowing Francisco I. Madero, whom it denounces as a traitor. The writer glorifies Huerta's defiance of the United States, especially President Wilson, and frames Huerta’s interim presidency as a defense of national sovereignty and dignity. Madero's family and followers are accused of conspiring with the U.S. to destabilize Mexico, while Huerta is presented as the rightful presidential candidate who embodies national honor and unity. It contains an engraving of an eagle with a snake in its beak and a portrait of Huerta. —— Hoja volante que elogia al general Victoriano Huerta como líder patriótico que salvó a México del caos y la intervención extranjera tras derrocar a Francisco I.

Se acusa a la familia y seguidores de Madero de conspirar con EE. UU. para desestabilizar México. Contiene un grabado del águila con la serpiente y un retrato de Huerta.
