ELECTION ID BE

Diaz and LaBarra Will be Can- didates and Former is the
 Favorite.

Mexico City. Feb. 26.--A new election will be held in Mexico to elect a president to take the place of Maderu, who was mur- dered by General Huerta and Gen cral Diaz. Diaz is the favorite and it is believed that by the use of the army. which is under his control, he will easily beat the only opposition on the part of de LaBarra, who was provisional president after the former Diaz administration collapsed.
 It is officially stated by the present government that all but three governors have recognized the new government. Emilio Ma derO, a brother of former PreSi- dent MaderO, is considered the greatest danger and the federal troops have been dispatched against him, but many rebels and citizens, who condemn the action of the Diaz forces in murdering Madero, have flocked to his stand ard. The better element of the country are fearful that DiaZ will set up a military government and rob the people, but keep the army loyal to himself and his click of officers.
 The newspapers which doubt ed he story of the death of Ma derU have been confiScated by the government and all papers op- posed to the new officers will be suspended.

GRAHAM'S REPORT
PRESENTS FIGURES
OF MUCH INTEREST
MORE MONEY FOR SALARIES
THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE
SCHOOL YEAR.
COUNTY CENSUS COST $3.50
The General Expenses Were Less by
Almost $500, But the General Eek
penditures Exceeded the Preceding
Quarter by Almost $4,000.

The report of Superintendent John
P. Graham is ready for deliv-
cry to the county court Monday morn
ing and it shows some interesting
comparisons.
1t is the report of the work of the
first quarter for the year
and shows that there are now one
hundred and nineteen teachers in the
county, and that for the salaries of
these during the quarter there was
spent considerably more than was
spent at the last quarter of the last
school year.
There was, however, almost $4,000
more spent for new buildings and
fixtures at the prior quarter.
This was occasioned by the work
OF new buildings and repairs having
been looked after before the opening
of the schools in July and August.
The general expenses of the prior
quarter were about 500 heavier than
the last, and the difference in the to-
tai expenditures for the two quarters
was $1,989.03, the last having spent
the larger amount.

During the first portion of his
speech the ex-governor was occasion
ally interrupted with slight ripples of
applause but the vast majority in the
audience seemed to be in a waiting
and listening attitude. They were
willing to hear the former champion
of the regulars before they made up
their minds as to how to accept him.
They were quiet and attentive but
they were not demonstrative.
In opening his speech the ex-gov-
ernor said that while he had never in
all his political career been able to
carry Maurye county; that he felt
nothing but the kindest feelings for
the people of this great county. He
expressed himself as glad to be here
and asked for a patient hearing. His
speech did not materially differ from
the one delivered at Murfreesboro.
He planted himself squarely for law
enforcement and temperance. He de-
claerd that the democratic party
must be divorced from the liquor in
terests before it could ever be restor-
ed to power.
AS Gov Patterson proceeded with
his subject and commenced to tell of
his determination to forever fight the
liquor traffic the audience began to
warm up. He was repeatedly cheer
ed and he told of his stand to battle
against the evils of intemperance
All of his auditors, regardless sof pc
litical affiliations, seemed to cheer
the ex-governor's caustic arraignment
of the liquor traffic.
