rounded by soldiers. Guards kept
Japanese away and treated him
rudely, but showed no hostility to
British and Americans. After
short halt, the train proceeded in the
direction of Langfang.

ed field marshal said he received
calmly the news of Feng Yu-Hsiang's
coup and remarked that it merely
was what he had expected and would
mean more work.

nouncing Feng, who is known as the
"Christian general"

Chinwangtao received special in
structIons from .he president giving
me full power and authority to take

EVERYBODY VOTES BUT The SHlRKER

Election day is November 4. National, state
and local officials are to be elected.
Every good citizen will cast their ballot in the
election. If unable to do personally, because of
absence from the city, he may the absent vot-
er's ballot.
The shirker won't vote. The citizen who doesn't
much about what kind of officials conduct his
government, who isn't interested enough in the
welfare of his country to go to the polls will not
vote.
Recent disclosures have shown the seriousness
of the situation. Presidents now are elected by
minority vote in government of, by and for the
people. A truly Democratic or representative gov
ernment cannot exist if it is ruled by less than a
majority of the people.
Vote November 4.
Everybody will vote - but the shirker.

Los Angeles, Oct. 27.-Jcrome A.
Bassity. who describes himself as Il
business man, is to build an ideal
town.
Beautiful buildings, paved high
ways and efficient police are to be
there
Gasp not.
The city is to be just over the Mex
lean border from San Diego, five
miles west of Tia Juana.
The beautiful buildings are to be
hotels operated for profits. The mag
nificent structures are to be a race
track and equipage. The paved high
ways are to attract those with
money to spend. And the police are
to be on Bassity's payroll.
He'll Sell The Liquor
But do not associate the tradi-
tional wickedncss of border towns
with Aztec City, as the new town is
to be called. Bassity warns!
No licenses will be issued for the
sale of liquor. Dry? Hardly. All
bars are to be operated by Jerome A.
Bassity himself.
For Bassity's town is to be a one
man town. Baron Bassity is to fire
the police and hire the judges.
Bassity was. one of the builders
of the present Tia Juana race track
James Coffroth was hired to manage
it, Bassity AYERS.
For five years now, Bassity says
he has been trying to get it back
For five years Bassity has been su-
ing in Mexican courts. For five
years he has been on the verge Of
victory, but Coffroth keeps the track
Track Profits Pay Bills
Bassity still hopes to win the I'll;
Juana track. If he does, he will
operate it until the first construction
at Aztec City-the race track:
done. If he loses, he will push con
struction at the new track.
Bassity exhibits a concession from
the Mexican government granting
him 50-yard renewable lease or
the site Of his proposed city. The
concession requires that Bassity
erect number of buildings, con
struct highway to Ensenada, q
miles south, and maintain police ano
courts.

in replica of famous buildings i1
Mexico City.
