PRESIDENTIAL FIGHT
WARM TO THE END
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY MARKED
CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN
Taft, Wilson «nd Roosevelt Each
Sp«*iit La"t Moment" in Personal
Appeal to Voters—intense Inter
est All Over the Land.
By Associated Press.
New York, N'ov. 4.—The most
vigorous presidential fight in recent
years came to an end tonight, with
the leading candidates for the na
tion’s chief office continuing a per
sonal appeal to the voters almost to
the last moment.
President Taft speaking from a
train in Ohio, on his trip to Cincin
nati, Bo- sevelt addressing voters at
Long Island points close to Oyster
Bay, and Wilson addressing meetings
at Passaic and Paterson, gave 'the
conclusion of the campaign a touch
of personal activity that emphasized
the interest in tomorrow’s balioting.
More than 'the presidency is at
stake. The republicans have con
centrated their efforts in the doubt
ful states to prevent the overturning
of local organizations or the capture
of legislatures in states heretofore
safely republican. The democrats
have made an organized assault on
a number of states to control the leg
islatures so the senate can be swung
into the democratic column. Confi
dent claims are made by both par
ties.
Few American campaigns have
been run through a longer period of
heated controversy. The fight began
early In February and has scarecly
lagged since.
The influence of woman probably
will be grlater than in any previous
election. Each national headquart
ers organized a bureau to appeal to
women workers, which has been pre
sided over by women. Women have
the right to vote in siv latest Wyom
ing, Utah, Colorado, California,
Idaho and Washington. In five
state, Arizona, Michigan, Kansas,
Oregon and Wisconsin, the right of
women to vote will be an issue at
the polls.
Fair weather is predicted in a roa
pority of the states.
Uncertainty hs to results is caused
by the unusual sterngth of the “third
party” ticket, and the ten-est inter
est is felt over the situation every
where. Party managers have made
appeals of far more than ordinary
urgency to induce voters of their re
spective parties to go to the polls,
and this, with the strong local inter
est caused by the fights for state of
fices and control of the political ma
chinery, indicates that a record vote
will be cast in most sections of the
country.

ELECTION RETURNS
BY SPECIAL WIRE
LEASED WIRE TO CONNECT HER
ALD DIRECTLY WITH DALLAS
Associated Press and Western Union
Bulletins Will Keep Brownsv*lle
Posted on Election News Tonight.
Abreast With the World.
Though living at the extreme
sou hern part of the United States,
citizens of Brownsville and the Low
er Rio Grande Valley will have
equal opportunity tonight with their
countrymen in the outside world to
see the returns from the national
election as soon as they can be
flashed over the wires by both the
Western Union Telegraph company
and the As*ociated Press, the great
est and most reliable news gathering
agency in the world.
The Herald by arrangements made
through the telegraph company, will
have in its office two telegraph In
struments. One will be connected
wi h a special leased wire of the
Southwestern Telegraph and Tele
phone company, running direct from
Dalas to Corpus Christi and Browns
ville, which has been leased specially
for the transmission of the Asso
ciated Press report. This will be the
first leased wire news service ever
delivered in Brownsville. The other
will handle the special service of the
Western Union Telegraph company.
Two operators will be stationed in
the Herald office, from which place
the returns will be telephoned to the
Miller hotel. At the hotel there will
be a stereopticon machine and screen
for the display of the bulletins, al
lowing a full view from the street
for all.
The leased wire will be used by
only two poins for its entire length
of more 'than 600 miles, the Browns
ville Herald and Corpus Christi
Caller offices being the only ones to
obtain this special service, which
will give their readers equal oppor
tunity with people in all other parts
of the county to get the election
news as fast as electricity and the
hands of men will allow it to be re
ceived.
The presidential campaign just
ending is acknowledged to be the
most complex in the history of the i
country, and interest in its outcome
is at a remarkably high degree. With
its usual watchfulness and intensity
of purpose, the Associated Press has
made extremely elaborate plans to
get the election returns, and because
it is a member of the association, the
Herald is enabled to give its readers
the election news “while it is news.” j
John E. Rutledge, the men’s fur
nisher on Elizabeth street, between !
10th and 11th, has also installed a
telegraph instrument in his window
in which there will be stationed an
operator. Te returns will be posted
in the window as fast as they are re
ceived, and will also be shouted from
the doorway. Mr. Rutledge invites
every one to receive the returns at
his place.

IMPORTANT DECISION BY U. S.
SUPREME COURT
Injunctions Issued H«**eafter in Fed

Proof of Alleged Damage—Hear

By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., Xov. 4.—The
United States supreme court today
promulgated the first revision of
equity rules governing federal
courts, prohibiting the granting of
preliminary injunctions without no
tice and restricting the grant’ng of
■temporary restraining orders.
Many points of the Clayton anti
injunction bill, for which labor lead
ers have been fighting, and which
has passed the house and is pending
in the senate, are embodied in the
rule.
Hereafter instead of general alle
gations 'that immediate and irrepar
able damage is about to be inficted,
it must be shown that such is the
case before a restraining order will
be issued. It is also provided tha
a hearing in injunction suits must
be given within ten days after an
order is issued. Also those restrain
ed may come into court within ;wo
days and be heard on a motion to
dissolive the restraining order.

Accu*e* Four Prominent New York

By Associated Press.
Oyster Bay, Nov. 4.—Theodore
Roosevelt, in the closing rally of his
campaign here tonight, assailed
Senator Elihu Root, John G. Mil
burn, William D. Guthrie and Louis
Marshall, four of the best known
lawyers of New Uork, as “counsel
against the people,” who, he said,
“were defending a perversion of the
law,” for which they themselves
were responsible.
The four attorneys mentioned
united this afternoon in a statement
asserting that the colonel had mis
stated the law in his Madison Square
Garden speech, with regard to de
cisions of the New York court of
appeals being contrary to law and

TURKEY’S APPEAL
HOT YET HEEDED
R5QUEST FOR MEDIATION BY
POWERS IS IGNORED
Situation of Sublime Po»*te Extreme
ly Critical—Adrianople May Fall
at Any T*me—Turk* Relating
to Const«ntinople.
By Associated Press.
London, Eng., Nov. 4.—So far as
known ’.he powers have not replied
yet to Turkey's appeal to the powers
for mediation.
Meanwhile the defeated Turkish
army is making an effort to reform
behind the lines of Tchatalja, the
last fortification outside of Constan
tinople. Whether the Turks will be
able to maintain any serious resist
ance to the Bulgarian advance is a
question of doubt.
Fighting is still proceeding on the
Tchorlu-Seria line, but it is believed
this is merely a rear guard action to ]
cover the movement of the Turks to
ward Constantinople.
The fall of Adrianople is expect
ed daily. Buk. on the railway be
tween Saloniki and Kuleburgas has
been taken, cutting off the last line
of the communication between the I
Turkish armies.
Comparative order is maintained
in Constantinople, and anxiety has
been partly relieved by the arrival
of European warships. Saloniki i*
also without disorder. In Constanti
nople great quantities of supplies
have been seized for the army and a
famine is feared.

By Associated Press.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 4.—Final tele

vinced that Woodrow Wilson will
win the greatest politial .ictory
he United States has known in fifty
years.”

ality.

COUNCIL MEETS
AND ADJOURNS
Will Hold Special Session Thursday
to Con^id^r Mnt*ers in Connection
Wi*h Paving Company.
Because the paving company has
several matters it desires to bring
^before the council, preparation for
which their legal representative.
Judge W. E. Hawkins, has not yet
(ompleted, and because there was no
other pressing business, the council
yesterday afternoon adjourned until
Thursday morning at 10 o’clock.
Mayor Cole stated to the council
I
that he regretted the several recent
adjournments, but as there was no *
important business demanding the
attention of the council other than
tha1 of the paving company, he sug
gested another adjournment. He
il o stated that the business to come
before the council at the adjourned
meeting would necessitate a lengthy
session, and a motion for the morn
ing session resulted and carried.
The school board also has some
matters to bring before the council,
♦hat, it Is said, will probably affe< t
the continuance of school. The
board will soon have before It de
mands for money which it will be
unable to meet owing to the fact that
the tax rate, from which the school
funds are to come, has not yet been
passed by the council.
Xo reference has been made In thrt
council meeting to the tax rate
since it was brought up and turned
down by the council several weeks
ago.
