COX IS QUOTED AS 1 ID 3 FOR
 NOMINATION

If you do your betting on the presi- dental election through any of the wcll-known Wall street channels, you may pl@y your favcrile at regularly quoted odds. And, 1t is said, since 1892 when Cleveland beat Harrison Wall street odds have constituted the only consistently correct index of the country's general election temper.
 When the republicans nominated al Chicago, Wall street began quoting odds on the election and Warren G. Harding opened at 2 to 1. Any amount of money a man might be tempted to risk could be staked at the prevailing figures. Since the opeu- ing, the Harding odds have advanced 10 5 10 1.
 Pre-convention odds have been quoted on the democratic aSpirants and their chances of securing the en- dorsement of the San Francisco con- yention. They run as follows, accord ing 10 a bulletin issued by a Wall street brokerage house, Monday:

FULL HOUSE AND THEN SOME AT
 THE MINSTREL


 The Elks' minstrel show is over. Eight hundred people Saw it put over. In point of attendance it was one of the most successful minstrels ever pulled in the city. In point of en- joyment it was even better than that. Almost every member was encored and not one went without applause. There was not dead one on the bill of fare
 Director George E. Cummings and Interlocutor Dr. Harry Southworth are entitled to much credit for the excellence of the show, and Tom Ellis, who rustled the advertising on the program, is entitled to special mention for his doings ill connection with the show. Every fellow who bought a ticket and went and joined in the spirit of the good feelings ex- hibited by the performers, is entitled to special mention and thanks from every ticket sellers, and that means many, as there were lot of people pulling for a big house for the boys.
 This means the establishment of q fine club by the Elks. They have been wondering if they should have q club. They have been studying how 10 get the coin for the initial expense of starting a club. Minstrel show money. Things done. Special dis pensation on for new members means more success and more members of the club
 No use to write much about this show Too many people saw it, and no one could describe it as good as it was done. The fellow who missed would surely make wry face if he knew just how much he did miss. It would, therefore, hurt him to describe 1t too well. But, she was a success, every move was q scream, aud every song hit. A show like it could tour the country and bring home the gravy" and no bad eggs. In the first place, all vegetables and egg crates were checked at tine door, but there was no use of this precaution as the people were too busy holding their sides to keep them from split ting 10 have any poultry thoughts, Opinion unanimous-a good show an enthusiastic audience, and natural ly pleased bunch of performers, and the whole ElkS lodge and their friends all pleased Nuff sed

A FINE LIFE SIZE WINDOW

One of the fine decorations in the city is the window of the Biles- Lockhart Clothing company display ing the fine prize saddle offered by the Arizona Saddlery company as 3 prize mounted on a life, size horse, and the window contains many other items to make a horseman's $ eye twinkle. It is a window that makes people stop and take sec ond look. Of course it is meant to advertise, and that is what it does do, but it advertises the Frontier show more than anything else and that it what it should do, or what it is meant to do, according to the boys at the store.

Little Rain Does Fair Grounds And
 Road Much Good

The prayer which Les Ruiner, Babe Sparkes and sundry other Frontier days folks have gone down on their knee bones and uttered to the god of rain bade fair to be granted yester- day. After week of buster, which followed some other weeks of almost hot weather, it sprinkled.
 The rain thus early in the week will, if sufficient in quantity, put the fair grounds and the roads to the grounds in fine shape. Otherwise there would have been some dust.
 Considerable work has been done to improve the exit road toward the city, and it is now wide and smooth and only needing few good wettings and some traffic to make it like a city street.

PAVING DISTRICT IS A M P 1 '
 PROTECTED

Rumots that have been current here lately that the Southwest Con- tracting company, paving contractors on Mt. Vernon street had gone bank rupt were denied yesterday by con- tractor having information as to the real situation confronting the paving concern. A shortage of liquid cash due to the termination by death of relations with the Quirk brothers, bond buyers of Los Angeles, has caused difficulty ill connection with the prosecution of five paving con tracts in Arizona, and the security company which has bonded the con- cern has been brought into the case to effect an adjudication.
 The city of Prescott is protected and the persons having property on the proposed paved district arc also guaranteed their paving in due course.
 Assets Ot the Southwest contract ing company are declared to include plant worth $lO0,OOO and contracts for work that will carry them through with a good profit as soon as the work can be financed and completed.
 Creditors of the institution met in Phoenix this week and proposed to extend their accounts with the man agement of the company until it could make another arrangement to sell the paving bonds, which arc d drug on the market at this time.
 Meanwhile nearly $lO,OOO worth of grading has been done on Mt. Yer non and all that is delaying the paw ing is the ever present shortage of pipe fittings.

CITY MUST BUY PIONEER HOME
 ADDITION

When the city of Prescott provides the Pioneer Home with a road that is not dependent for its location on the mere good nature of private property owners, the state of Arizona will construct a building that will double the capacity of the home.
 This is the message Superintendent
 George A. Shea has conveyed to the mayor and some of the councilmen of Prescott as coming direct from the state administration
 Many promises have been made to the Pioneer home by the city regard ing a road. None have ever been kept The present means of reach ing the institution is all right as far las its surface and grades arc com .ccrned. but it happens that there is positively no place al this- time to locate a purely public road. The home is entirely surrounded by pri- vatc property.
 It begins to look. as though the city would have to resort to either a plea to some property owners to decd strips of land for the road, or to condemnation proceedings in or, der to assure the state of its good faith. Possibly the sorrowful fate of inc old state capitol building has impressed the state that Prescott is not always right up 10 scratch in matters of this sort.

General Oregon To Be Maugllrated Tomorrow
 As President Of Mexic0

a civilian, charging that Obregon and Gonzales both represented the mili- tary classes. Refuting the latter as sertion, Obregon requested congress to withdraw his rank as general but this was refused.
 Early in April, General Oregon re- tired to his home in Sonora follow ing published charges that the Car ranzza regime was attempting to em- barrass his candidacy. Almost CO., incident with this retirement came the deflection of Adolfe de la Huerta who, as governor of Sonoro, refused to recognize the sovereignty Of President Carranza in certain state affairs. This disagreement cul- minated early in May in open revolu. tion with General Obregon and num- erous of his political aids and large numberss of followers became af- filiated
 Followed then in quick succession the march of an army of the north on Mexico City and it's subsequent bloodAess capture, the flight of President Carranza and his cabinet and the death of the executive in a lonely mountain hut.
 AdolfO de To Huerta was elected by congress as the provisional presi- dent to act until December l. Gen. eral Obregon immediately returned to an energetic campaign and in September was overwhelmingly elected president. An official can vass of the votes cast, showed that General Obregon received l. 13l,715 and his nearest opponent, Alfredo Robles Dominqgez, received 47,442.
 Since the election General Obre- gon has remained in Mexico City, actively engaged in preparing for his induction into office. He varied his routine by a short visit to the Texas state fair at Dallas and upon his re- turn declared that he was convinced that cordial relations exist and will exist between Mexico and the United States.
 There has been much speculation as to the personnel of the cabinet which the new president will ap- point. He has declined to intimate whom he will select. The follow ing have been suggested at various times by the newspapers:
 Secretary of gobernacion (state) and chief of cabinet Rafael Zubaran Capmany; sub-secretary Jos Ines Mo- velo. .
 Secretary of foreign relations Fernando Iglesias Calderon, former high commissioner to Washington; i; su-secretary, Luis Sanchez Bonton.
