the board OF aldermen are regarded
as Strengthening factors on the demo-
cratic or Tammany ticket On the
other hand, the fusionist ticket ex-
cepting its head, is weakened by the
fact that the Independence league has
named it's own candidates for the
two minor offices.
The results of the struggle, it is
needless to add, are far more impor-
tant to New York City and state than
the mere election Of Mitchell or Nc
Call. If Tammany is defeated it will
mean that its methods have been
overwhelmed, and with the tumble
may fairly be expected to come the
downfall of its leader, Murphy. This
is a consummation admittedly sought

INFORMATION WILL BE FURNISH
ED CONCERNING UNAPPRo-
PRiATED LANDS

Santa Fe, Nov l., Some interest
was manifested today in the reports
received by Surveyor General March
that there are 30 or more millions Of
acres of unappropriated lands in New
Mexico over 20 Of these 80 millions
are surveyed lands. For the informa-
ton of those who may desire to look
over these lands with q view of an
nexing" certain tracts, the government
gives the following pointers to home
seekers:
'"The following tables, based on re
ports furnished by the district land
offices, show. by states, territories,
land districts and counties the area of
unappropriated and unreserved public
lands, surveyed and unsuryeyed, and
brief description of the character Of
the vacant lands The general Land
office can furnish no more definite in
formation as to the location or char
acter Of the vacant lands than is found
in said tables. Inquiries regarding the
climate and soil in any given vicinity
may be addressed to the department
Of agriculture.
"a township diagram, showing only
lentered land In any township can be
procured by sending ST to the register
and receiver Of the land office for that
district The diagram required should
be specified by township and range
number
while the figures in the tables may
not be absolutely correct, owing to
liability of error in work of such mag
nitude and the necessity of making
estimates Of unsuryeyed lands, it is
believed that they afford a close ap-
lproximation to the actual areas. The
statement is intended to inform cor
respondents and the general public
as to whether there is much or little
public land in the several land states
and territories and the land districts
therein and in particular counties
or localities.
'Tn many counties only few acres
are reported as vacant. Neither the
general land office nor the local land
Officers can furnish information as to
the location Of such tracts, but such
information may be obtained from the
records Of the Ioca, sand offices,
which, when not in official use, are
open to inspection by prospective
home seekers or their agents.
Before entry personal inspection of
the lands should be made to ascertain
If they are suitable, and when the
applicant is satisfied on this point en-
try can be made at the local land Of
flee in the manner prescribed by law,
under the direction Of the local land
officers, who will give full informa
tion. Should anyone desire informa
ton in regard to vacant lands in any
district before going there for a per
soonal inspection, he should address
the register and receiver of the prop
er local land office, who will give full
information regarding vacant lands
and the steps necessary to be takeI
in making entry.
tsAll vacant unappropriated lands
nonmineral and nonsaline in charac
ter, are subject to entry under the

CAMPAIGN ENDED
FOR new YORK
ELECTION
BITTER FIGHT OF VARIOUS FAC
TIoNs CLOSES WITH RALLIES
TONIGHT

New York, Nov. 1.-Amid q blaze
of oratorical pyrotechnics and polite
al rallies, one of the bitterest and at
the same time one Of the most inn
portant municipal campaigns in the
history of New York City tonight
reaches its climax. The candidates
and other speakers will continue on
the stump almost until the opening OF
the polls next Tuesday, but for all
practical purposes the campaign may
be said to close with the big rallies
to be held tonight in every section
of the city.
What will be the story ted by the
ballots next Tuesday? The usual
expressions Of confidence, of course,
are emanating from the headquarters
Of the various candidates and parties,
but as a matter Of fact the situation
today is such as to render all guessing
on the results absolutely futile and
worthless.
There never has been a campaign
like it; there never has been a situa-
that could approach it for complex
ity and uncertainty. And there never
has been a campaign that could ex-
ceed it in genuine bitterness and vitu-
peration. I
In its broader aspects the contest
does not differ from other mayoralty
fights that have taken place in New
York City in late years. It is q
straightout fight for and against Tam
many Hall--a fight by Tammany to
regain control of the city government
and millions in annual patronage and
a battle by the opposition, carrying
the fusion banner, to overthrow the
strongest political organization do
minating any American city.
But unlocked for developments
since the campaign began to have
served to complicate the situation.
The first event to upset the calcula
tions of the political leaders was the
sudden death Of Mayor Gaynor who
had he lived, would undoubtedly have
made a hard fight for reelection as
an Independent candidate.
The removal Of Mayor Gaynor from
the contest simplified the situation in
a measure and unquestionably relieved
the mind Of Tammany Hall in nc
small degree. Tammany never re
Iished the idea of Gaynor heading az
independent movement. With bui
two tickets in the field, the Tam
manyites have declared right alone
that they felt certain of victory.
But no sooner was the Gaynor bug
aboo out of the way than the Sulzel
issue bobbed up to disturb the rosy
dreams Of Leader Murphy and hi'
Tammany cohorts. There are many
astute politicians who do not thinl
it is putting it too strongly to sa!
that Sulzer is now the real pivot o
the campaign The pro-Sulzer sen

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi.
tion is perfectly natural. It is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never 50
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets,
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never Sc
much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash
can't be used every day. What the
bowels of the old need is a gentle

constantly used without harm. The
only such tonic is Cascarets, and
they cost only 10 cents per box at
