POWER OF DIAz IS
Renewed IN MEXICO
Leaders of Opposition Thrown
Into Prison Under Guard
of Troops.

Ell PASO, Tex.-Porfirio Diaz, the
80-year-old statesman who has been
President of Mexico continuously for
26 years, has been reelected to that
office. Ramon Corral undoubtedly
has been chosen to succeed himself
as vice-president The result means
that the policies of Diaz will continue
another six years, or at least as long
as the veteran ruler shall live.
Rain in the border states, where
there was the greatest danger of trou-
BILE, dampened the ardor of the oppo-
sition. Further discouragement to the
anti-re-electionists was. found in the
fact that their candidate for Presi-
dent, Francisco Madero, spent cleo
ton day in the Monterey prison, and
that many of the active leaders of
the opposition propaganda also were
in custody and under guard of Federal
troops.
Whatever fight there was against
the administration seems to have been
concentrated on the candidate for the
vice-presidency, Ramon Corral, who is
being groomed by the party in power
as the successor of Disz. Corral be.
lieves in the encouragement of Amer
lean investments in Mexico and in
the protection of all foreign interests
in the republic on the theory that
they are necessary to progress. His
active attitude in this respect has en-
gendered widespread opposition to
him, but by the same token, his can
didacy has been favored by the cap
italistic class, domestic and foreign.

DR.. l. A. BEERS
FOR CORONER

DR.. L. A. Beers, of Gray, who is
a candidate on the Democratic
ticket for Coroner, is native of
the State of Ohio. After he OBJ
tanned his education in the east he
came west and begun the practice
of his profession in Mitchellville,
Iowa, where he remained for four
years. On account of failing health
he sought new location and in
1886 located in Gray where he re-
sumed his practice in which he has
been very successful. The Office of
Coroner should, by all means, have
d physician at the head of it: 9TH
erwise the county is often run in
debt by the laek-of~ medical knowl-
edge when it is badly needed. DIR.
Beers ripe knowledge, and peculiar
fitness would mean much to Audu-
bon county should he be elected.
If you will carefully consider this
matter we feel sure you will cast
your vote for DR.. l.. A. Beers for
Coroner and we know you will nev-
CT regret it.

OUR ADMONITION
Intelligent Voting is a High Mark Of
Good Citizenship. Investigate the
Nominees and Their Fitness

In casting your vote next Tuesday
be fair to the different localities from
whence the candidates come, then be
fair with the men. In county politics
we should select the best men before
the people, provided they are not all
from one, part of the county. For a
number of years the south part of the
county has been ignored in county
politics when asking for more valu-
able Office than County Supervisor.
Two years ago the Journal showed the
location of the Supervisors by map
and asked the election of the candi-
date from the south, which the voters
kindly granted. That act saved the
county thousands of dollars. This
election we shall endeavor to show
the reasons why certain men should
be elected. Be careful how you vote,
friends, and voteafor the goud Of all.

"There is an honest and reasonable

the memory of an intelligent and
patriotic people the happenings of the
last few years. X That the
welfare, happiness and prosperity of
the people cannot be secured or pro-

tion of all Republican candidates, no

may have been with respect to the
public measures which have been or
are now proposed. \ When the
voters come presently to. decide be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
candidates, they will be sitting in
Judgment upon the soundness of the

HOWARD E. KITTELL
FOR TREASURER

Mr.. Kittell was raised in Audi.
bon county. At an early age he
was thrown on his own resources
by the death of his father, but
clung to his widowed mother and
sister and fought out the problem
of life by entering the field of hon
orable employment. He mastered
an education that entitled him to
county certificate to teach and
for many terms he would go long
distances following that profess
sion. Later he was an able as
sistant with the Green Bay Lum.
Der Company, and still later was
a trusted employe of the Bank of
Gray, where confidence reposed
was not for a minute betrayed.
For four years Mr.. Kittell has
been the able deputy in the Coun-
ty Treasurer's office under that
efficient official George b. Kellogg
and has proved himself to be ac.
commodating, honest, and with
apt ability for the position he as
pires to. His success at the polls
would crown his labor with conf.
dence and his party with honor.

VIM. NORTHUP
FOR TREASURER

/. Mr.. Northup is no doubt one of
the best known men in Audubon
county. For many years a resident
of Douglas and Cameron townships
where he carried on farming extern
sively until few years ago he was
selected by his party to fill the
sheriff'S Office, which he did with
distinction to himself and honor to
his party. Some people when in
office don't know when to quit, but
Mr.. Northup was not of that kind
and relinquished the office and
went into the stock shipping bust
ness. While his party was looking
for a logical and popular man for
Treasurer they interested Mr..
NOrthup to make the race, SO he is
again before the people asking their
assistance to the Office. The small
est valuable belonging to the coun-
ty will be safe in Dicks hands. His
personal responsibility makes his
backing safe, and the county sure
OF its treasure. His clean record
while in the Sheriff's office is his
stock in trade and a fitting finish
for any office.
