The plight of the Infants executive
committee is something pitiable. The
candidates still insist that even the
nightly exhibition of theiT official mugs
has not had the desired effect of Gre
ating a stampede of voters to the Re-
publican band wagon. The commit
tee poor children, were driven to des-
peration, and last night resorted to
methods which are usually ascribed to
one about to be engulfed in a great
tidal wave Ramon Soto was used as
the spring to entrap the Mexican voter,
and he sprung the game by opening
his trap at the exhibition back of
Grace church last night. When Mr..
Roscoe Dale's official mug was thrown
on the canvas the gallant Ramon in
formed the audience that this mans
parents were Mexicans, and that a
son of the blood should at least COM
mand their votes. Messrs. Shand and
Vail, according to Ramon have Mexi-

do not. should merit the Mexican vote.

some new residence on the corner of
Fourteenth street and Sixth avenue.
When completed it will be one of the
prettiest residences in the city. The
plans were made by frost & Rust.
They call for a twO-story building,
half brick and half frame. The house
will have large verandas on the front
and back. The rooms on the lower
floor can all be opened up into one
big reception hall when necessary.
This will add another pretty residence
to Tucson.
The big Democratic parade will not
be lacking in any feature on account
of the postponement. The procession
will rather be added to in many par
ticulars. The regular line of march
will be preserved, and every section of
the city will be given an opportunity
t. view the Democratic legions. The
rally at the opera house will serve as
a fitting close to the active and clean
campaign waged by the Democrats.
Tonight is what is famiiiarly known
