tration, was the person chosen last
night to make the announcement.
Senior Urrutia refused to give out the
text of the correspondence between Mr.
Lind and the Mexican government, but
confirmed the fact that an exchange OF
notes had taken place. Two notes
from Mexico have been sent to Wash
ington. The demand for recognition
of Mexico was included in the note re-
plying to Mr.. Lind's suggestion.
! This is regarded here as an ultima
tum.
One official in discussing this latter
note said that Mexico had reached the
point where she must either bow her
head in humiliation before the United
States or adopt an attitude of defiance.
The first contingency, he added, was
regarded as impossible.
The official said that Mexico fully
realized the gravity of her action and
the possibilities that might ensue In
case the United States refused to rec
ognize the republic.
Late last night Foreign Minister
Gambao said concerning the situation:
minister Urrutia denies that he
made the statement attributed to him
| The Minister of Foreign Affairs is the
} only person responsible for any state
) ment on things concerning his depart
? ment."
t Senior Gamboas statement was made

To THE VOTERS OF
MARION COUNTY OUT.
SIDE OF 0CALA AND
DUNNELLON

Your attention is called to the fol-
lowing portion of the local option ar
ticIe of the Florida constitution:
Intoxicating liquors, either spirit
uous, vinous or malt, shall not be sold
in any election district in which a
majority vote was cast against the
same at the said election"
Both Dunnellon and Ocala voted
dry" in the statewide prohibition
election held about three years ago,
Ocala voting dry" by 10 votes. A
great many temperance people who
were opposed to statewide prohibi-
ton are actively supporting the dry
side in the present local option cleo
ton. Both Ocala and Dunnellon will,
in all probability, go dry next Tues
day by increased majorities, as COM
pared with the vote in 1910.
By reference to the above law,
quoted from the state constitution,
you will see that Ocala and Dunnel-
Ion voting dry" will be dry even
though the county as a whole should
vote wet"
Do you want established in YOUR
precinct some of the Ocala and Dun
Mellon saloons when voted out OF
Ocala and Dunnellon? If not, guard
against such a possibility, or proba-
bility, by voting your own precinct
dry.
