Who'll Be Elected?

This is the season when the
candidates send forth their
promises to the listening ear
Of the voter.
But aside from those seeking
Office there are other candi-
dates whose pleas are just as
important to your personal in
terests.
These are the merchants and
business men who speak to you
daily through the columns of
live newspapers like The
Times.
They do not make pie crust
promises" They know that
they are. going to prosper just
to the extent that they make
good.
They want your trade by de-
serving it-and they present
their claims to. the General
Court Of Public Opinion through
the advertising.
Advertising is splendid in
dex to the character of business
men and a safe guide to those
who use 1t.

Presidio, Texas. Dec. 3l-The
remnant of the federal army Of
northern Mexico faced extermina-
tion this morning. If the federals
retreat from Ojinaga across the Rio
Grande they will be arrested by the
United States troops; if they remain
to face the rebels under Ortega they
face probable annihiliation The
rebel commander has orders to drive
the federals into the United States
and return to chihuahua with no
prisoners. The two days battle has
terrorized the fedcrals and scores
have fled to the United States. The
firing continued all night. The reb-
els must yet capture a circular line
of hills around Ojinaga before they
can rush the trenches where hand
to hand fight is expected. N sur
render was the slogan of the federal
generals when the battle was re-
sumed. Ojinaga is tightly sur
rounded. United States officers on
the border are prepared for the pre-
cipitate retreat of the federals, also
to care for the wounded. The num-
ber killed is still unknown, but 1t is
believed the federal's loss Is great
est as their fire has been Intellectual.
The rebels have heavy artillery rak-
ing the fortifcation, while the fed
eral guns are Inadequate.

NEW YORK TO HAVE
GAY NEW YEAR

New York, Dec. 81 Joy will be
unrestrained in the city tonight ow-
ing to the fact that Mayor Kline has
been rather generous to the appli-
cants for all night licenses. When
there is no scarcity of liquid re-
freshment in the restaurants and ho-
tells, the new year is always ushered
in with great gaiety. The late May
or Gaynor put more or less of a
damper on the New Year festivities
while he was at the city hall, seeing
to it that all save a few of theplaces
where drinks were sold closed
promptly at a. m Mayor Kline
has not issued licenses indiscrimin.
ately, but he has not refused any re-
quests of places of good reputation.
