| LOCAL DEMOCRATS CELEBRATE
 VICTORY

Republicans and Democrats of Clis. ton, in unison, pulled off stunt last Saturday night that was unique in it's originality.
 About 8 o'clock in the evening sew eral hundred people assembled at the bridge with a vehicle elaborately be- decked with bunting; and after se- curing the persons of MT. John c. Gatti, and MT. Peter Riley, placed them in the decoratde car riage with long lines. of rope attach ed, with Roman candles shooting sky ward, and proceeded by the Clifton brass band, marched through the streets to the tune of martial music and vociferous cheers for Wilson, Campbell and Slaughter.
 After the parade through the town, the procession proceeded to the ten his court, and forming a circle around Champ Gatti and Riley, with red, white and blue fireworks Illuminating the court; danced and yelled with the enthusiasm of Apache Indians at war festival.
 When some degree of order and silence was restored speeches were | demanded by the crowd. MT. Gatti made a brief address, the substance : of which was, that he and his party made a good fight for the success of the ticket, national, state and coun- l ty, and like true Americans, were satis' fled with the result yet he would not concede the election of Wilson until the final official count decided it in favor of the democratic nominee. He further said that he fought the demo- crats to the last ditch, and he would be in the ring four years hence to re- new the conflict. The "Old Champ" dies hard, but he is no welcher he's a dead game looser. He called for three cheers for Tom Campbell, they were given with vim, and the band played Hail to the Chief and Dix ie.'' ,I
 MT, P. Riley was next called into [ Ifequisition for speech. and as every body in Clifton knows that Pete had kissed the Blarney Stone by proxy, he gratitied his audience by smoothing over the rough spots on the way for the defeated candidates, and eulogiz- ! ing the virtues of the successful ones. The defeated candidate for gover- nor was not ignored by any means, one admirer-and bet loser-in the assembly, called out three cheers for Governor Hunt" heads were uncov- cred, but there being no vocal response, the band did the next best thing, it rendered solemn and dole full funeral dirge, and his excellency was laid away in his political grave, to the sorrow of the few and the cha grin of many betlosers.
 An outdoor dance concluded the evenings program, in which many handsome suffragettes participated

ARIZONA DRY LAW
 EFFECTIVE SOON
New Amendment Receives Heavy Plurality; Prohibits Transportation

Phoenix Ariz. Nov. 13.-The Ari- zona Temperance Federation is advis- ed that the new prohibition amend ment has been carried overwhelming ly and that the suggested local op tion measure has received a negative vote. Many communities have given a four-to-one vote for prohibition. Phoenix, in which the amendment seems to have missed the attention of a majority of the voters, gave over two to one in favor of the new order.
 This act prohibits the transporta- tion of intoxicating liquors for any purpose save for surgery and sacra- mental uses, and makes illegal the possession of liquor that has been in troduced unlawfully into the state. This permits the possession of alcohol that has been introduced before Jan uary 1st next, but it is assumed that the burden of proof will be laid upon the defendant in any action under the law. Only about six weeks remain in which to introduce liquor lawfully, and these six weeks are expected to be a harvest time for dealers in Ell Paso and Los Angeles, who already are profiting largely by the shipment of personal use" into this state.
 Several county attorneys have op- posed the new law as something that will bring back a plague of bootleg gers and aver that conditions in their counties have not been so very bad since the introduction of personal use" was permitted.

 Miss Rankin defeated seven men in the primaries by a plurality of 1000 votes more than her nearest male contestant.
 Miss Rankin's platform has just five blanks, which are: National woman suffrage, child welfare, tariff revis- ion for tie protection of the worker prohibition for State and nation and greater publicity in Congressional committies.

NEW MEXICO GIVES WILSON
 A MAJORITY OF 5000.

With officially certified returns, the result of the canvass in the coun- ties yesterday, beginning to come in slowly, there is nothing to indicate important modification of previous estimates on the result of the New Mexico election. The state has given Wilson a majority of close to 5000 and elected democratic senator, governor, congressman and majority of the state ticket by pluralities ranging from 800 to 2000. The Re publicans have certainly elected the land commissioner, lieutenant gover- nor and supreme court justice and state auditor. They have not con- ceded the attorney generalship to the Democrats. The Democrats have made gains of Il in the legislature and will have g out of 49 members of the house and g out Of 24 sen ators.

IMPROVEMENTS AT INDIAN HOT
 SPRINGS
New Management of Famous Resort Contemplates Many Big Improve ments.

When Henry Hill, the new pro- prietor of the Indian Hot Springs, completes the renovations and inn provements which he contemplates at the springs, it will be one of the finest and most popular resorts of it's kind in the United States.
 The Indian Hot Springs has al- ways been famous for it's wonder ful water and thousands of invalids have been cured by drinking the water and taking the baths during the past few years. The curative quality of the water has become so well known that people come here from all parts of the United States for treatment.
 The thing that seems to have been lacking in the past was proper ac- commodations While MT. AleXan- der, the former proprietor, made every effort to provide accommoda- tions for his patients and patrons still the same was inadequate for his stehdily increasing patronage.
 The new proprietor has sufficient capital at hand to provide sufficient and modern accommodations in every respect, and this, he intends to do. MT. Hill is gentleman who be- lieves in the old saying, "The best is none too good" and this policy will be carried out in the future | management of the resort. Many Improvements will be made and each particular one will be the last word in modernism.
 A combination electric lighting and refrigerating plant will be in { stalled. The entire premises will | be electric lighted including the ! plunge.
 The old buildings will be torn away and in their places will be erected concrete bath houses and other necessary buildings. A large addition will be added to the hotel and with it will be connected the dining room. Concrete walks will be constructed and more shade trees will be planted. The pond now used for a plunge will have concrete bottom and banks and will be GOV cred. It will be electric lighted and fresh water run in every twenty, four hours.
 Another attractive feature will be a large boating and fishing pond
 The pond will be stocked with fish and boats will be provided for the guests.
 A large sum of money will be spent in advertising the resort and it is expected that many people from all parts of the continent will come here for treatment.
 it will also be a popular resort for the people of the valley to spend a day of pleasure. The new plunge will be a big attraction for the val. ley people.
 Pima is the railroad station for the springs and no doubt the town will benefit materially by the im- proved condition at the resort as this will be the trading point for the place and it's patrons .-Gila Valley Farmer.

Democratic Governor and RepubIi can Lieutenant Governor Indicated by Unofficial Return.
Democrats Elect Seven Candidates to Five Put Over by Their Oppon- ents.

Santa Fe, N M., Nov 13.-Practi- cally complete returns from Tues days election indicate that the Demo crats have elected seven candidates on the state ticket and that five of the Republicans candidates have been successful.

Davidson i for commissioner of public lands ! re tISpuDllcdHS, On tue OLueT Hduu, claim the election of Frank w. Clan cy, their candidate for attorney gen. eral, by 80 votes. It is believed it will require the official count to de termine the result between w. E.. ] Lindsey or Governor Mcdonald, can didates for lieutenant governor. Ow- ing to the frail health of Governor elect de Baca, the office of lieuten- ant assumes unusual importance.
 Mir de Baca leaves next week for the Pacific coast to remain until Jan tuary His health is reported much improved.
 H.. c. Hernandez, whose defeat for Icongr s has not yet been admitted by tfIy Republicans, is strongly men toned as possibility for the guber- material nomination in 1918.

FATHER Is ACCUSED OF AWFUL
 CRIME

John Erickson is a fugitive from justice and Mrs Erickson is being held by the local officers for examina- ton for insanity, as a result of fur ther investigation into the death of Alma Erickson, the stepdaughter of John Erickson, who passed away at the Copper Queen Hospital some days ago.
 It will be remembered that Dr. E. B. Walker was arrested by local au- thorities on the strength of state ment made by the dying girl at the hospital. It would appear that evi- dence has been secured which may clear the doctor and which throws the entire blame on Erickson. The warrant against Erickson, now in the hands of the officers, charges rape.
 The defendant has not been seen in the district since last Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock. The sheriff's officers have S earched the entire community and have sent descrip- tions of the man all over the South west. So far no trace of him has been found.
 Dr. Walker, in the meantime, has charge of an illegal operation. Though technically, the other two charges, rape and murder, may stand against him, his release was easily obtained by his attorney when the additional evidence was developed. Sensational charges and counter charges have been made in the case and the sudden disappearance of Erickson leads many to the belief that there is much in the case which has not been told and which may never be told.

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 27.-Mrs.
! Margaret Claire Beutinger expected
today to be free to clasp her five
children to her-cleared of the charge
Of numbering her husband, Christie
pher, the man built like Jack Johnson.
The defense moved quickly with
the last Of it's testimony this after
noon and the prosecution had only
brief rebuttal, so verdict was ex-
pected before night. When court
opened, Attorney McCarter hoped to
be able to introduce testimony from
Mother Superior Catherine of Great
er New York, to shed a light on the
domestic affairs of the unhappy
Beutingers. And testimony to suo-
stantiate that he was the brute his
widow pictured him. The court prom
Used a ruling on the Introduction of
this evidence.
McCarter decided, however, not to
put on the stand the two angel faced
girl babies of Mrs. Beutinger, believ-
ing that they were too young to take
the oath and give a lucid account Of
the lustful attack Beutinger Is charg-
ed with making on his wife on the
tragic night last summer.
The prosecution has contented it
self with only minor objections to
testimony. There has been no con-
tradiction Of the womans story of her
husbands brutality.
Mrs Beutinger's five children oc.
cupied the front row Of Judge Mart

ing that they made a hit with the
jury as they played, oblivious to the
tragedy around them.
