SULzER MAKES ROUNDS;
Is Justify CHEERED
Deposed Governor Accompanied by
Body Guard When Visiting Polling

ginia Elect Governors.
(By Associated PreSS.)


After one of the most bitter fights
in the city's history of hot compaigns
New York started early to cast what
is believed will be an exceptionally
heavy vote.
Tammany leaders claimed McCall's
election by 100000, and Fusionists say
an easy victory is in sight. Sulzer,
with body guard, made the rounds
of polling places in the Sixth assembly
district early and was Justify cheered
Though few arrests were made, dis
turbances occurred at several polling
places. In one district adherents of
each side were assailed with eggs and
vegetables when they appeared at
polling places.
Six other states are holding elections
and in many states municipal elec-
tions are under way. Massachusetts,,
New Jersey and Virginia elect COVER
nors, Maryland elects a United States
Senator, and state officers are being
voted for in Pennsylvania and Ken
lucky. In Louisville a bitter fight is
on between Progressives and Demo.
Gratis for mayor.
Both Sides Confident.
New York, Nov. 4.-With fusion and
Tammany leaders predicting land
slide today for their respective candi
dates the municipal campaign, describ
ed by old-time politicians as the live
liest of a generation, came to close
last night with speechmaking in all
parts of the city.
1--WE will win by 100000" declared
Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall
who in the last three weeks has beer
moved to break his sphynxlike silence
more often than in any previous cam
paign.
Fusion estimates of victory ranged
from $4,000 to 125,000. John Purro!
Mitchell is the fusion candidate fo1
mayor, while Edward E. Mccall is thu
Tammany standard bearer.
Information reaching police head
quarters that "strong arm" men, gun
men, guerrillas and thugs general!
were to be employed to intimidat
voters, resulted in promises of polic'
activity unusual for election day Il
this city. Several hundred picked pc
licemen familiar with underworld chal
acters were assigned to all parts of al
boroughs. At midnight last nigh
every police captain was shifted fror
his regular precinct to another 10
twentyfour hours.

Bryan Makes No Comment.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The associat-
ed Press dispatches from Mexico City
were read to Secretary Bryan over the
telephone shortly after midnight. He
manifested much interest, but said he
would make no official comment.
All during the evening the Secretary
had been expecting new developments
and prepared to stay up late to receive
dispatches The night operator in the
telegraph room Of the State Depart
ment, who usually leaves the key at
midnight, was ordered to work through
the night.
News of the ultimatum had been eX-
pected in official circles, though un-
usual efforts had been made to keep
secret the plans of the administration.
Early in the evening an intimation
was conveyed to Secretary Bryan by
the press that some announcement
was expected in Mexico City. He ac-
quainted President Wilson with that
fact, but the President had retired
when the news dispatches came and
was not awakened.
No intimation had been received up
to midnight by the State Department
as to what the nature of Huerta's re-
ply might be, and no news had been
received officially that meeting OF
the diplomatic corps had been called
last night. These developments were
awaited with keenest interest by Of
ficials here.
1t was reported in diplomatic circles
here that copies of the ultimatum hat
been transmitted to all foreign gov

Will QUIT the Ministry
To Engage IN Business

AS pastor of the largest Methodist
congregation in Mississippi Mr.. Smith
has attained a high position in the
ministry of the state, and news of his
leaving the clergy will occasion gen
eral surprise
1t has been during his pastorate here
that the new Galloway Memorial
Methodist church, costing $4,000, has
been built here. This church is just
now rounding into completion. Credit
for raising the money necessary for its
construction is largely due to Rev. Mr..
Smith.
Mr. Smith was originally member
of the Missouri conference of the Meth
odist church, where for number OF
years he was engaged in denomination.
al educational work. Later he served
as pastor of the Methodist church al
Tulsa, Okla, coming here from the
latter charge.

Mexico City, Nov. 4.-Presdent
Huerta has been told he must resign
the Presidency of Mexico without loss
of time and that he must not leave as
his successor Gen. Aureliano Blan-
quet, his minister of war, or any other
member of his official family or of the
unofficial coterie whom he might be
expected to control. This ultimatum
from Washington was conveyed to
President Huerta through his private
secretary, Senor Rabago, by Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, the American charge
d'affaires, acting under instructions
from the State Department.
Senior Rabago presented the memo
randum to his chief late Sunday, but
up to Monday evening President Huer-
ia has returned no answer, and as far
as could be learned had guarded its
contents from almost all of his official
and intimate counsellors.
Those who learned of the Washing
ton note regard Gen. Huerta's position
as one in which he will be forced to
give one of Two answers-refusal point
blank to comply with the demand, pos
sibly going so far as to hand the diplo-
matte representative his passport, or
the elimination of himself officially.
Those most intimate with the Presi-
dent insist that the latter course will
mot be taken for many reasons, chief
among which is that such action would
be tantamount to submission to the
rebels. Official Mexico is no longer
in doubt that the Washington admin
istration favors the rebel cause, and is
convinced that this is the means adopt
ed by President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan to assist Carranza to win.
Gen. Huerta summoned to the Ma
tional Palace last night the diplomatic
corps, but for what purpose was moi
revealed. Three Of the ministers
those of Germany, Norway and Russia
were absent. They have been in Veri
Cruz, where they were in conference

tive, John Lind, who is understood t.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 4.-The third
day of the strike of employees of the
Indianapolis Traction and Terminal
Company ended last night with no at
tempt to move the cars which have
stood idle in the streets since late
Friday night. Charges that partisan
politics has caused IT, police to fail
to give the traction company sufficient
protection to run its cars were made
by candidates for office at today's elec.
tion
An effort of Sheriff Portteus, to
swear in 200 citizen deputies resulted
in charge that he had summoned the
men chiefly for the purpose Of reduc-
| ing their activities at the polls.
The strike situation was further
complicated late in the afternoon
when a suit for the annullment and
forfeiture of the traction company's
franchise and the appointment of a
receiver for the company was filed
in the circuit court. The plaintiff
is Attorney Albert c. Pearson. He
sues as a tax payer and alleges that
the company by its failure to operate
cars for the last three days has violat-
ed it's franchise contract with the city.
The summons in the suit was made

Council Bluffs, March 2I-"Stocked
heavily and getting rid Of II all" Is the
way the local wholesale dealers sum
up the implement business just 1t
present in this implement center.
This seems to be occasioned by the
prospects for as good a season as last
year which was registered record
breaker in all sections.
Those dealers who handle automo-
biles say that they have never had
such heavy sales in the history of the
business and one jobber reports that
he has filled orders for three times as
many cars as ne had at this time last
year.
Strictly in the farm implement line
the sales so far have been confined to
the sale of plows, harrows. cultivators
and seeders Of all kinds. The season
has prospects just as good as last year
and the sales so far are somewhat
ahead of those of the corresponding
season a Year ago.
Orders Coming Steadily.
Car shortage Is causing some trou-
bic for the houses but is not expected
to be serious, altho there are indica-
tions that automobile cars will be
scarce articles within a month.
Every warm day brings in additional
orders for automobile and spring farm
implements to the houses which are
rushed during the cold days In flllins

order Tuesday of this week for fifteen
automobiles to be shipped at once.
Other orders of a similar nature are

Al,ho the demand for harvesting
tools and threshing machinery has not
really presented itself, there are In

any new features and the stock ana

naratively large number OF sales IN
this line.
Threshins Clubs Formed.
The "threshing club plan" is again
in appearance in this section and the
dealers expect to sell large number

company for mutual benefit.
The plan is for a number-ten to
twenty-farmers to form a sort of club
or corporation. each putting in a share
