STRAIGHT TALK
ABOUT ELECTION
Monterey Editor Declares
That Things Must Not
Go on as In Past.

Monterey, Mexico. April 11.-Today's
lei Trueno." a newspaper published in
Spanish. by Martin Steckern publishes
the following in regard to the election
for governor, which is due soon:
To-day or tomorrow there should be
issued a candidature for deputies and,
perhaps, also for governor of the state
as the time ESEs near when the elr.c-
ton should coca off. In public nothing
has been said about this electioP, and
If what is told us is true, it is thought
that it will proceed this time the same
as before. The system CT naming can
didates without consulting in the least
the principal social = elements, united
with the making <of the election, has
been disastrous, in the past, as it has
furnished a-cpIace for no less a thing
than the evolution.
Today it is necessary to count on
a considerable number of persons to
zenS are not disposed as formerly to
sign that about which they have not
been consulted. Those elements which
before were noticeably absent from
politics, today are felt strongly and
they are able to make themselves re-
spected. being sure that there will be
no political prosecutions"
FL Trueno is the only paper in this
section which has treated on this sub
ject in this manner and having been
in jail already several times for mix
ing in politics in this country, the edi-
tor is evidently confident this time that
he knows wha he is talking about.

LARDLEss COOKERY.

Horseless carriages, wireless telegra-
ply, and now lardless cookery! Lard
has one fatal objection-it is indigestible.
Nine-tenths of the indigestion with
which the American nation is afflicted
is due to the use of pork and its by-pro-
duct-lard.
Recognizing this, The N. K. Fair
bank Company, has placed on the mar
ket Cottolene, which can be used for
cooking purposes in every way that lard
or butter can, and which makes deli
cious, digeStible and nourishing food It
is recommended by physicians, even to
invalids, and it is cheaper than lard,
one-third less being required.

HARTzELL WINS THE
 WRESTLING CONTEST
Young Sandow Pinned to the Mat Twice at Lowell
 Sunday

Despite ,he very unfavorable weather Of Sunday night a crowd of from F5 to 100 turned out to see the wres ling match between Kid" Hart zell and Young Sandow at the Low ell Athletic club.
 Hartzeu had an advantage of about 30 pounds in weigh, over Sandow and won the match, two falls out Of three, Sandow taking the frs, fall and Hartzen the second and third.
 Time was called for the ma eh at S:45 by William Clark who officiated as referee. Sandow took the first fall in three and a half minutes. He had the Kid" wedged in between the wall of the room and the ropes with an arm lock and leg hold which Hart zell could not break on account Of the lack of room.
 Hartzell came back strong for the second fall and won it with hail nelson and front waist hold in one minute and 45 seconds. When San dow got to his feet after this fall he claimed tha. he was blinded from getting sawdust in his eyes of the mat and offered to give Har.zell the match wi hou. the formality of an- other fall, but the crowd wanted to see some more wrestling so Sandow agreed to go on with the ma ch. Evi- dently Sandow was blinded to a cer- tain extent. however, and he found 1t hopeless to attempt to wrestle so dropped to the mat almost imme- diately. The Kid" instantly secur- ed an arm and front crotch hold and vi h his superior strength and weight pinned Sandow's shoulders to the mat for the third fall and the match
 Hartzen weighed about 175 while Sandow weighed only about 145.
 The most exciting part of the pro gram for the fans was the boxing bout between Sam Smith and Bill Hawley. Each of the contestants IS more than 60 years old, but they put up a bout that would have been fast for many younger men They fougn; two two-minute rounds with a three minute rest between the rounds. Al .the end of the bout Referee Mike Harmon called it a draw. It is un derstood that the old boy" boxers will be matched for ten-round bout on he Fourth of July, and that they will begin active training for this match at once.
