night hurricdly, after hearing Of
General Murguias defeat of Villas
forces at Mapula. He estimated at
least 500 soldiers were killed during
the battle, and that many soldiers of
the de facto government were eXecut-
ed after the evacuation.
Bovio said Laureano Holguin, the
mayor of the city, was killed by mis-
take. At least, villa sent a message
to Holguin's widow telling her Hol-
gum had been shot without his knowl-
edge or consent.
Bovio said the stores We're burned

friend of General Treyino. villa
threatened to blow up the plant of the
American Smelling and Refining com
pany, near Chihuahua City, according
to Bovio, but was persuaded not to
wreck it.
A letter received by a foreign retu-
gee from Chihuahua City today con-
firmed the report Of Villas forced
loan. This letter said General Trevino
made a strong defensive fight and
could have won had he had enough
ammunition. General Trevino held
out as long as possible in the hope
General Murguia would arrive from
the south with ammunition for him.
The letter said Pascual Mejia, an
attorney, prominent during the Oroz-
co revolution, had been executed, as
we'll as Seniors Burcuaga, Agustin Ra-

Faithful TO Asquith.

A large section Of the liberal party
remains faithful to ex-Premier As
Quith and looks upon Lloyd-George
as a party wrecker and deneunces the
method by which he achieved power.
Criticism is freely made Of the old
cabineteers that they were too inn
portant to listen to their followers
The chief comment on today's lib
eral conference is that Mr.. Asquith
consented to meet the rank and file
and discuss party interests only when
he was leaving office The newspa-
pers complain that he had been deaf
to former appeals to take his follow
ers into his confidence.
London Does Not Control.
The opposition to Premier Lloyd
George seems TO be centcred largely
in London political and newspaper
circles. London generally is no safe
vantage point from which to Judge
the political feeling of Great Britain
than Washington is to gauge Ameri-
can sentiment Public opinion
throughout the country appears TO
have crystallized in favor of Lloyd
Georges program and on the point
that the people should give his gov
eminent a fair trial with loyal sup
port.
Herbert II. Asquith declared at
the meeting Of liberals today
that although he had resigned
the premiership he had given
up leadership Of the liberal par
ty The former premier said there .
had been a carefully engineered cam .
paign against him but he acquitted

cates in the retiring government Of

DIR. GLADDEN. FOR WILSON

DR.. Washington GLADDEN., the ia
nous clergyman and author, who has
voted for every Republican president

at seems to me that ideas and prin-
ciples of progressive democracy are
better represented today by the Demo-
cratic party and its leaders than by
the Republican party and its leaders.
That is why | shall vote for Wilson.
''For many years | have felt great
admiration for Mr.. Hughes and | re-
ioiced to see him elevated to what
seemed to me the summit of a lawyers
lust amhition-a seat upon the su'
preme bench.
mo man. in my judgment, can ever
leave that eminence for party leader
ship without stepping down; and was
gratifed when Justice Hughes, in his
correspondence with Rabbi Wise, two
or three years ago, seemed to make 1t
clear that such was his conviction.
II confess hat my opinion ofHughes
was perceptibly lowered when, on the
supreme bench, he obviously kept that
possibility open; and subsequent events
have not treasured me.

ton of political duty ana responsibility
in "A democracy | am in cordial agree
ment, and | have greatly admired the
directness, tact, persistence and our
age by which he has led his party for

"The moderation and nationality ex-
hibited by Mr.. Wilson in the conduct

This is the last editorial before cleo
ton. We urge the people favorable to
prohibition and the election Of dry men
to be at the polls on election day and
to use their influence. Everybody is
advised Of the issues and line up. Ev-
cry State on the Pacific coast e"cept
California is dry and it will go dry
Jan'y l, 1918; Arizona is dry, Colo
RADIO is dry, and Texas will go dry the
next time they vote on this, this fall.
| We will have it dry all around us, and
if we keep on the job, New Mexico will
go dry next. Vote for dry men and
strengthen the movement.
On account of the Prohibition party
having no State Ticket and only part
of the County ticket, w recommend
the use of the old party ballots in the
election November 7th, using stickers
or writing in the name of candidates
to be voted for, when not found on the
ballot used. If you have no sticker
scratch out the name desired to change
and write in plainly the name of can
didate you desire to vote for. Do not
mark up your ballot other than to
change names Of candidates desired
and place no other marks on your bal
lot or it will be no good. II you want
TO vote for the prohibition candidate
for president and vice president, vote
for the presidential electors, Lester
Sands, ". +. Ogilvie, c. +. Peterson.
II you want to vote your old party
ballot, changing the name Of any can
didate and substituting n "dry" can
didate, you may either scratch out the
name on the ballot and write in m
other or you may use a sticker.
It's an old, old game in politics
when you have something unpleasant
or politically dangerous ia meet or an
swer, side track it. Talk something
else. As the election approaches mud
singing and campaign lies begin to
come TO light. AS usual we cannot
learn where they came from. For in
stance, IL is being circulated that Judge
Winter, prohibition candidate for sher-
i'll, left the Democratic party and join
ed the Republican party, which is lie
number one. II is being said that the
Prohibition party received campaign
funds from the Republican State Or
ganization, which is lie number two;
it is being said that McElroy Is trying
to elect the Republican ticket and is
using the prohibition party to do so,
which is lie number three; it is being
said that McElroy quit the Republican
party and Joined the Prohibition party
with a view of later on easing over
into the Democratic party in order to
get a political job, which Is lie num-
Der four; it is being said that the Pro-
hibltion Party is working for Eubbell

A charge is being made that Wards
administration has NOT been satisfac-
tory to the people, and because E. E.
Winter has been jailer under Ward,
that he is in some way responsible for
the failure of the Ward administra-
ton Of the sherif's office, to catch all
of the cattle thieves. The fact that
Candidate Street has been Mounted
Police and Cattle Inspector during the
anne time that Ward has been in Office
seems to be lost sight Of in the zeal
to dig up something against Winter.
Is there any more reason why Ward
is to blame for not getting all the cat
tie rustlers than is Street?
Since this question has been raised
in an effort to strike indirectly at Mr.,
Winter, we give you the following com-
parsons taken from the county rec.

is the declaration of the Episcopal

NOW PASTOR At DECATUR, ALA

Rev Livingston T. Mays, former
pastor of the First Baptist church of
Columbia, and who resigned that posi-.
ton over two years ago to accept the
U. S. consulship to Maritime Province,
Canada, and who resigned that posi-
ton upon the resignation of Secretary
Bryan, is in Columbia for a few days.
DR.. Mays preached at the First Bap-
fist church Sunday morning and night
to delighted audience.
Mr. Mayes is now stationed at New
Decatur, Ala, as pastor of the First
Baptist church of that city. He is off
on vacation, and during the time has
visited a number of cities and towns,
among them being st. Louis, Louis
vile, Nashville and Columbia. He
preached at Louisville two Sundays
ago and had thirty conversations. He
also preached at st. Louis and other
places.
Saturday night he delivered a SER
mon to three thousand soldiers at
Camp Rye and had eight conversions.
Sunday and Sunday night he preached
at Emanuel Baptist church.
DR.. Mayes stated to Herald report.
er that during his trip he had had
seventy-eight conversions. He will
leave in a few days for his home.
While in the city he has been the guest
of Joseph r. Brownlow and family.
DR.. Mayes, in speaking of his con-
sulship, stated that he accepted the
place only from the fact that Secretary
Bryan gave him the right to preach
whenever he wanted to and as preach
ing was his calling, he preferred to
do that to any other occupation he
knew of, and when Secretary Lansing
assumed the duties of the office he
resigned, as he did not know whether
he would be permitted to exercise the
same rights under him as he had un-
der Mr.. Bryan.
