Why is it that our grandfathers
never heard of such thing as
hog choleraR Their hogs had
plenty of range; the ANIMALS were
not jammed into close, snug
quarters with no ventilation if
their nesting became damp and
filthy during the night, nature
aired it out in the morning; their
water supply was natural and
wholesome. If all of our farmers
would see that their swine have
plenty of open air exercise, get
well ventilated quarters at night,
clean, dry bedding, and sanitary,
wholesome rations, hog cholera
would be wiped out. Cleanliness
and sanitation will prove much
more effective in establishing pre-
ventive conditions than any cure
yet devised.

MEXICAN VOTERS
FAILED TO ELECT
Not Enough Went to Polls to
Make Choice Legal.
new CONGRESS WAS CHOSEN
Husrta Will Remain Provisional Pres,
ident Until Successor Is Elected
An Increase in Army
Ordered.

The City of Mexico, Oct. 27.-At tn,
close of the elections the indications
were that not sufficient votes had beer
cast to constitute a legal choice foI
the presidency to succeed Gen Vic
toriano lluerta.
No official announcement was made
but it was estimated, judging from
the results in the capital, where 1t
was expected the vote would be up
to the average, that fewer than 10000
of the $4,000 eligible voters in the re.
public went to the polls.
1t would be no surprise if congress.
the members of which also were voted
for today, declared the election void
when the body is organized and re.
vises the returns.
The leaders OF the Catholic party
claimed a long lead, although they
were unable to estimate the number
OF votes polled for their candidates.
FREDERICK Gamboa and General Ras.
con. II this claim is correct, it Ia
generally thought that Gen. Felix Diaz
and Senior Requena ran second.
The Liberal candidates, Manuel Ca.
lero and Flores MACON, had no print
ed ticket at the polling places, the
constituents being obliged to write
their names in blank spaces.
President Huerta spent the day at
his Popotla suburban home. A decree
will be issued by Huerta, increasing |
the army from $4,000 men, it's alleged
present number to 10000 men. Gen
eral lIuerta proposed such an increase
some time ago, but the congress
which he dissolved limited him to
$4,000.
Since the deputies and senators are
not subject to the election provisions
governing the presidential elections.
