SONORA CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR WILL
WELCOME u. S. CAPITAL

Foreign capital and industry, par
ticularly from the United States, will
be welcomed in the development of So
nora if General Fausto Topete,b veteran
soldier, is elected governor. General
Topete, who visited Aqua Prieta Sun
day and Monday in the interest of his
candidacy, stated: eff I am elected
governor, one OF my principal aims
will be to protect foreign and local cap
ital and industry in the state so that
the vast natural resources of Sonora
may be fully developed"
''The greatest drawback to Sonora S
development at the present time is lack
of sufficient good roads," General To-
pete states. eff I am elected, 1 shall do
all in my power to secure good roads
for the state that will not only permit
the development of the mining indus
try, but all other industries as WELL !
deem the development of roads and
schools the two most necessary things
for Sonora, as well as the whole of
Mexico. 1 expect to increase the
schools of Sonora to five times their
present number if I am elected gov
ernor.''
zone of the most serious problems
confronting the state of Sonora is that
of the Chinese, who have almost mon
opolized industry in the state the gen
eral states. 81 believe this problem is
capable of solution, and as governor of
the staee I shall suggese to the cham
ber of deputies means for the protec-
ton of the Mexican people,.
General Topete is confident that he
will be chosen governor in the election
to take place the last Sunday in April
He is particularly well pleased with
the favorable reception given him in
the northern part of the state, where
, he is not so very well known. He pre-
diets that he will receive S5 per cent OF
the vote for governor in the southern
and central portions Of the state, and
has been assured by his friends that
he will receive 65 per cent of the vote
in the northern section of Sonora.
General Topete, who is compare
lively young man, has a very pleasing
personality. AS high army officer
he is well acquainted with the needs
of Mexico, and particularly those OF
Sonora, his home state. He owes his
present rank in the army to personal
merit and bravery, having risen from
/ the rank of private to that of gen.
eral under General Obregon.
General Topo.e resides at Alamos
, Sonora, and prior 20 tho revolution Of
1910 was employed for four years by
/ the Southern Pacific company of Mex
| ico His wife is member of one OF
/ the best known families of Guaymas
! Sonora. The generals opponent in tho
/ contest for governor is Francisco
Elias, who is also well known in this
| section.
General Topete arrived in Aqua
Prieta Saturday afternoon, after Wis
! iting Cananea, Naaozari, Naco and
o.her cities in the northern part of the
state. During a barbecue held in his
honor in the plaza in Aqua Prieta Sun
day, he explained his plans for the de-
velopment of the state if he is elected
and received very generous response
from the people.

lit will remain for the returns them

dates and managers have in some
cases worked themselves into near

many districts have told of con-
Gition of near-apathy ana much In

Both republican and democratic

For the best efforts of the stacticians

HUGE VOTE IS.
EXPECTED TO.
Be CAST TODAY.

Today is N ovemb b er 2,
election day, the date that
will mean victory for some
candid ates and blasted
hopes for others, and the
day when the most popular
question is: "Have you
voted YETI" The weather
forecast for today is 'gen-
orally fair, with not much
ch ange in temperature" f"
which, with the keen inter-
est in the election, means
that q record vote should be
cast during the day in
Douglas.
Seldom has there been such keen
interest as in the present election.
Kcenest interest, local as well as
state, seems to be centered on the
contest between Senator Ralph II.
Cameron and Congressman Carl Hay
den for United States senator from
Arizona, and in the contest between
Governor George w. P. Hunt and
E. S. Clark for the governcrship.
The county office contests in which
there is keen local interest are those
for supervisor, Jacob Scheerer ver-
sus John Hart; sheriff, Joe Wood ver
sus George R. Henshaw; state rep
resentative, E. J.. Huxtable versus
w. E. Jones, and district offices,
Justice of the peace, w. G. Jack YER
sus J. l.. Naught, and constable,
Frank Clark versus George Newman.
Indications are that the heaviest
vote in the history of Douglas will
be polled ehre today. The registra-
tion, which shows 1O7,4O3 for the
state, 1851 for the county, and 3,O10
for the Douglas precincts, is consld-
erably heavier than for any election
in the past, and should mean rec
ord vote.
The polls will open at o'clock
this morning and will remain open
until D. m. Because of the great
rush of voting during the last hour
of the day. the judges are urging
all those who can do so to vote rs
early as possible. The law requires
that the polls close exactly at the
appointed hour, and those who put
off voting until the last moment may
cause someone else to lose VOTE
even if they do not do so them
selves. Vote early, and then come
down to the Douglas dispatch election
bureau and see how many voted as
you did.
Both parties are urging the people
to vote the straight ticket, and both
are warning voters against mistakes
that may cause them to lose their
votes. For instance, sometimes per-
sons put the cross at the top of the
ticket to vote it straight, then vote
for one or more candidates on the
opposite ticket. This is dangerous
practice and voters are warned to
vote either the straight party ticket
or place the cross after the names
of each candidate they desire to
vote for.
Both parties will have numerous
cars for use in taking voters to the
polls, and both are anxious to see
that Douglas, with its heavy regis
tration, casts an equally heavy vote.
The voting places for the city are as
follows:
Precinct and Location.
No. City hail.
No. 2-sparks building, SAT Eighth
street.
No. 3-13O7 Twentieth street.s
No. 4-Y. w. G. A. building. q
