are very careful about expressing a
conviction on this subject. While
Huerta is not liked, II he was dis

keep up the work OF robbery.
Most OF the Americans are getting
out or trying to get out. and yet
there are many who are hoping
against hope that the trouble will be
settled and they can remain. They
have property there. in fact all they
own in this world is there. Hun

leave everything-all their property.
and in fact their homes-would make
them destitute when they reached
the states. Many of them regarded
the warning of Bryan's TO leave the
country as a mere bluff, and yet
many thought II might be well not
to allow the bluff to be cal,ed. They
are. in fact. now coming out rapidly.

Joke on Secretary Bryan.

New York, October 20.--Dr. II. A.
Lawton. who is a neighbor of Secre-
tary of State Bryan when the latter
is wintering on the Florida coast,
arrived at the Astor a few days ago
with tale OF how Col. Bryan set Out
to clear up his Florida estate last
winter.
You see," said DR.. Lawton, 1.-THE

Mr. Billingslea. a lot of that ground

about the same as jungle. There is
the gumbolmbo tree, for instance,
which will grow II you simply cut
off twig and stick 1t in the ground,
and when you start out to clear the
ground there you have a job before
you. But when one day Col. Bryan
announced that he was going to clear

for him with my car one morning.

|ED P. MORROW
SPOKE HERE SATURDAY
In Behalf Of the Ohio County
Republican
Ticket.

Last Saturday was great day for
Ohio county fusionists. Hon. Z. r.
Morrow, Of Somerset, Ky, was billed
to speak at O'Clock at the court
house. He arrived at Beaver Dam at
1880 a. m, where he was met by the
following reception comittee: Messrs.
John II. Thomas, C. K. Smith, M.
l.. Heavrin, c. NJ. Barnett, r. Il.
Martin, DR.. J. A. Duff, Otto c. Mart
In and Hon. Albert Leach. An eIe-
CANT luncheon was served at the
Commercial hotel in Beaver Dam
to Mr.. Morrow and the committee, aft
er which he was conveyed to Hart
ford by automobile.
The court house was comfortably
filled with leading citizens from all
parts OF the county. MIR. Morrow was
introduced by Attorney f. Nj. Wood
ward, in a short and pointed taik.
and he at once launched into his
discourse, which lasted a little more
than an hour, because of illness in
his family. He touched upon the tar
III question in general way, pre-
dieting the usual disaster to Amer
lean industries following Democratic
tariff tinkering. He ca led attention
to the fact that low wages had al
ways followed low tariff andforced
home the thought that it is impos-
sible to maintain good wages for Am
erican working man in coppetition
with cheap pauper lbaor. MIR. Morrow
dldn't dwell as long upon the tariff
nor go into detail as much as his
audience would have appreciated. In
stead, he made a harmony speech,
urging the different factions to get
together to fight the common enemy.
He said that he asked no Progressive
to apologize for any position which
he had taken, and that moreover he
believed in almost all of the things
advocated by the Progressive parity.
He urged od-line Republicans to
stand true to the log cabin and to
forgive anything which they had ev-
er had against their Progressive
brothers.
Mr.. Morrow in the beginning of
his speech complimented Ohio coun-
ty people and referred fee dnely to the
fact that it was a spot politically
dear to his father, who now sleeps
the sleep of death. The crowd was
not dAmonstrative. but it cheered to
the echo the telling points of Mr..
Morrow's' speech, and thoroughly ap-
preciated his many telling thrusts.

Billingslea looked about, in a sort
of surprised fashion. His eyes had
quickly taken in a boundary mark
which was inside the spot Col. Bryan
had been working on.
"'You have done we'll, colonel he
cried, and have to thank you, sir,
for beginning on my land

manded Mr.. Bryan.

he pointed out the boundary mark.

scratched his head. Then he smiled

DEMOCRATS RESPONSIBLE
FOR $4,000 OF Debt
Certificate Signed by Capt. Cox
Showing Conditions at Time
Republicans Took Charge.

The Hartford Herald this weel
undertakes to make capital out the
fact that Ohio county is carrying
about $4,000. indebtedness, although
1t does not charge that this indebted
ness has been increased by any
wrongful act of the county officials
or that the county has not gotten
value received for every dollar there
Of. However, when the Herald made
this charge of indebtedness 80 prom
inent in its columns II was no doubt
unaware that more than half of II
was accumulated under a Democratic
administration. In order that the
Herald may know some things in
connection with this matter, we pub
lished herewith a statement signed by
Capt. s. X. Cox, who is a good Dem
ocrat, at the beginning of Judge Tay-
lor's administration in 1906 which
shows that the outgoing Democratic
administration left an Indebtedness
of 24,1S2.46.
Special term Ohio County Fiscal

w. B. Taylor presiding and all the

port:

ty. We the undersigned committee
having been appointed by an order
of this Court a COMMITTEES to ascer-
tain the amount that Ohio county
was indebted on Jan. /, 1906 beg
leave to submit the following report.
We have carefully examined AL
the order books and claims against
the county, including the outstand-
ing bonds and contracts for bridges
and find that the total indebted
ness of the county is $24,1S2.46. We
further find that the Sheriff, Cal p.
Keown. has made a full and comp Nete
settlement of the revenue of the
county for the year 1905, and paid
into the county treasury all that was
due the county and that on the 11th
day of January, 1906. after the sheriff
had paid into the treasury all that
was due the county there was a bal
ance on that date OF $775.02, and
that this sum has been paid out by
the treasurer and C Eims due out of
the levy OF 1905, and which claims
thus paid are not included in the
above Indebtedness Of $24.1S2.46. all
of which is respectfully submitted,

come.

Mexico City, Oct. 19.-With the
elections a week off and the assurane
of three candidates in the field Tor
the presidency, there appears to be
no noticeable interest on the part OF
the general public as to who trf-
umphs.
Voters are lacking entirely in par
tisanship so far as can be outward
ly seen.
There is no speechmaking, no par
ades, no banners-only a few posters
announcing the several candidates..
Parades were paced under the ban
at the beginning of the campaign
by common consent of the candidates,
who feared disasterous consequences
might follow.
The newspapers have paid little
attention to the approaching cleo
tions, printing only occasional de-
'prectory articles directed chiefly
against the validity Of the candidacy
of Federico Gamboa, nominated by
the Catholic party.
Senior Gamboa early abandoned his
first plan to make a personal can

uel Calero, the Liberal candidate, as
sert that much work has been done
in carrying forward the propaganda,
particular attention having been CIV
en- to the States of Vera Cruz, Oak
aca and Yucatan. where he expects
majorities.
The supporters OF Gen. Felix Diaz
appear to have been more or less
hampered by reason of the uncertainty
as to the course the candidate in
tehds to pursue. While those who
are conducting his campaign have In
sisted that he is returning to stand
for the elections, there are many
prominent members of his panty who
frankly CONFESS their doubt.
His followers are depending TOR
strength on the efforts of che
"clubs," of which they claim some.
thousands have been organized chiefly
thruout Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, Guerrere
and the Southern States. These cluba.
1t is understood, consist in many
cases of only half dozen sympathiz-
ers, who are working in the face Of
great odds in communities where the
friends of Gen. Diaz are few.
There Is no reason to expect chat
the results of TIN ballOting will be-
finally decided until weeks after the
elections: The law provides that the
ballots must be counted and the re-
suit announced by Congress. There is
now no Congress In Mexico, and
there will be none until new MEM
bers are elected coincident with the
presidential elction.
1t therefore would seem TO follow
as one OF the candidates has pointed
out, that the members-elect OF the
Senate and Chamber OF Deputies must
be inducted and these bodies organ
lied before the ballot boxes can be
opened.
Just who will pass upon the elec-
tion of Senators and Deputies does
not appear to be clearly defined, but

technically will be admitted to the
United States under the mot peculiar
circumstances In the history OF the
service. His stay upon
American soil will be under a time
limit and may not be for more than
an hour or so.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel said today that he would allow
Castro to leave Ellis Island for New
York City Saturday merely to permit
the stormy petrel' Of South America
to sail away from the United States.
Castro has decided objections to de-
parting on French steamship line
and has requested permission to sail
on vessel calling at German port
The German steamer Amerika will
sail Saturday and it Is Castro's in
tention to book passage on this vessel.
His entry to Ellis Island was by a
French liner.
Under the statutes regulating I'M
migration the steamship line which
brought an undesirable" to an Amer
lean port is responsible for his de-
parture. However, it was explained at
the department of commerce and la
Dor today that If Castro were re-
turned to France there would likely
+ be some objection to his return there,
I'm tf1fs case, he would be returned to
the port of original embarkation
America, and the United States gov
ernment would again have for solu-
tion the problem Of his disposal, solv-
ed in part this time by Castro's own
decision not to stay In America.
To avoid an international tangle
Secretary Nagel today gave permis
sion for his sailing on the steamship
Amerika Saturday.
Inasmuch as Castro has voluntarily
agreed to depart, the immigration OF
fcials have no authority to see that
he does, once he is released at Ellis
Island. The island is technically not
American soil,'' so when Castro 1f
released Saturday he will enter New
York unescorted. but is expected by
the officials to go Immediately to the

in New York city to the hour of sail
