CANTU FORT|F|ES
HIMSELF AGAINST.
ATTACK Of HUERTA
FEDERAL REG|M {

Mexicali. Lower California, Aug. a.
Military preparations against threat
ened attempt by the Mexican federal
government to wrest control Of Lower
California from Governor Cantu, con-
tinued today while further conferences
between Governor Cantu and represen-
tatives of Provisional President de Ia
Huerta were made in efforts to com
pose the points at issue without blood
shed.
No statement has been made regard
ing results OF conferences already
held between Governor Cantu and
representatives Of the provisional gov
ernment.
Comment on military preparations
was refused by Governor Cantu's Of.
ficers for strategic reasons, but United
States army strategists stationed at
Calexico who have followed the op-
erations closely, ventured the opin-
ion that Governor Cantu's position
seemed almost invulnerable because
OF advantages OF terrain. Possible
weakness, they said might develop
from the fact that the point OF ut.
tack by federal troops could not
be forecast clearly.
Customs brokers we're awaiting to-
day an answer to request wired
Mexico City officials yesterday, that
no customs fees be demanded by the
provisional government, until present
difficulties are adjusted. Representa-
tives of the provisional government
and Governor Cantu each have de.
manded payment Of customs duties.

/ EAVY VOTE is CAST
THROUGHOUT co j \ TY:;
|ND|CAT T|ONS PO|NT 7 TO
LANDSLIDE FOR FER R|S

Up to the noon hour in the nine
precincts in the city OF Ardmore
1850 democratic votes had been polled
and while the count in some of tho
precincts is somewhat behind every
piece OF available information points
to an overwhelming landslide for
Ferris In his race for the United
States senate against Thomas p.
Gore.
Close observers at the polling places
were able to give a pretty good es-
innate Of the vote cast, and the ratio
ran all the way from four to one to
as high as Is to l for Ferris.
Women Take Active Part
The women are taking an active part
in the political situation, and they
will be late voters this afternoon as
pecially in the cities and towns Of
the county.
A heavy vote is reported from all
over the county with every indica-
ton that Gore has lost Carter county
by the biggest majority ever admins
tered to a defeated candidate. Gore
workers at the city polling places
were noticeable by their absence.
This cannot apply 10 the workers
for Judge l.. c, Andrews of Pauls
Valley, candidate for justice of the
supreme court.
Last night or early this morning
q large delegation of ladies and gen.
tlemen from his home town arrived
in Ardmore and proceeded TO take up
positions at the polls. They were on
the job all the time and worked hard
for their man to win. The first dele
CATION was relieved this afternoon by
others from Pauls Valley who al.
lowed the first division to return home
in time to. cast thoir votes.
The election has been marked
throughout by intense activity and the
result will show by far the largest
vote ever cast in the city. Late count
may change the complexion OF the
earlier returns, but workers who are
familiar with the personnel of their
voting precincts state that Ferris
majority will be greater than early
returns indicate.

School Lunches.

A great need in our public school
has been met through the efforts of
the Teacher Association and
lunches are again being served to the
pupils and teachers of High and Cen
trail schools. This is no money MAX
ing scheme. The whole aim of the
Association is to supply the children
with appetizing an nourishing
lunches at cost and this is being
done. Mrs Ella White has been
placed in charge of this department
and offers each day for twenty cents
well prepared, well balanced
lunch, part, if not all of which is
hot. Is this not better for the child
than the all too frequent cake and
candy lunch chosen by him on his
way to school?
The Parent-Teacher Association
deserves much credit for this under
taking and just appreciation of its
success is being expressed by teach
ers. pupils and parents. Plans are
now being considered for the serving
OF lunches at Westover.
