ALL READY FOR BATTLE OF BALLOTS Federal Attack Is Repulsed . Nephew of Diaz Makes Desperate Attempt to Take Aqua Prieta, But Is Driven Back—Bullets Fly In- to American City. ; t*^y United Press Leased Wire.) DOUGLAS, Ariz., April . 17.— Promising to take Aqua Prleta from the rebels or leave his dead body on the field of battle, Ron- aldo Diaz, nephew of i the aged president of Mexico led 1,000 federal troops to the attack on the Mexican adjunct to this city this morning. Heeding the promise given Uncle Sam that he would not fire across the border, Diaz de- ployed his men to the westward of the city, Ignoring the cover of a few rolling bills to the south, and advancing in the open. The real action started at 6:30 o'clock when a machine ' gun sneaked up to within range of the adobe shacks, southwest .of the town and opened a murderous fire. Rebel outposts were called in at daylight and there was no opposition to the advance except a few long range shots until the machine gun started to belch smoke and fire. Then an English-born veteran • known as "Pop" Willis, with five Taramerara Indians, crept through 'the mesquite to within 400 yards of the guns and. after an hour's exchange of shots with the federal sharpshooters, silenced them. Dozen Federals Fall A detachment of 200 Infantry, creeping up a gully, suddenly ap- peared on the east of the town and with a wild yell charged to a clus- ter of adobe and brush barns used as a corral by the rebel cavalry. The , federals all but gained the shelter of .the huts when a rebel machine gun on the roof of - a nearby house was brought into action and they were driven back. At least a dozen federals fell and lay motionless while their comrades retreated in confusion to the shelter of their ditch. Bullets above Dou_l_s.Vftew , thicker as the fight progressed and ! the combatants advanced to the . south of the city. Douglas is al- , most due north of Aqua Prleta. . Bullets Fall Among Troops A shower fell among the Amer- ican troops as they sat on their horses. One rider's hat was pierc- ed and a bullet went through another's sleeve. Captain Gaujot i then-ordered his men to withdraw i to the shelter of a row of adobe buildings in Fifth street. One , cavalry horse was struck in the hip by a bullet and bolted, carrying his rider across the line almost mi- i to Aqua Prieta. At 9:30 o'clock the first ambulance load of wounded was brought into Douglas, i The ambulance • men reported . that the federals south and east of the town had withdrawn after their repulse, reformed, returned to the attack and had-galned a few scattering outbuildings in the low- er section of the town. Defying orders rom ] Capt. Gau- Jot, U. S. A., to remain out of the danger zone, more than 2,000 Douglas citizens climbed on house- tops and in range of the advancing fighters' guns, and ' Watched the conflict. -•-_-••••• CHECKS WERE FOR POSTERS Latest screed of the Seymour press is an endeavor to connect Fawcett with an election official at the preliminary. •' - 9. \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0' ' M.

The campaign Is about over and the results are with the people. Mayor Fawcett has a record of one year of great accomplish- ment. He has given the city a municipal dock; he has furthered the gravity water and Nisqually power projects, and both are sure of completion if he continues in office. He has seen three fine bridges erected, and two more authorized plans being drawn; he forced the street car company to five-cent fare and universal transfers, even when the supreme court said tho company did not need to give the latter; he has bettered the street car service; he secured an ordinance to keep young girls out of cafes where liquor Is sold; he secured the antl-treatlng ordinance; he revoked licenses of saloons and poolrooms that were objectionable to the people; he has Inaugu- rated a plan for comfort stations over the city and the first Is under construction he has reduced expenses in his departments even below those of last year and year before; he led the commission in forcing a reduction of the tax levy; he Introduced and fought through an ordinance to compel the street car company to pay 5 Instead of 2 per cent of its freight receipts to the city; he has resisted the de- mands of the Harrlman railways and demanded that they make their promises to the city good before any further concessions are granted them. In fact, Fawcett has a record of accomplishments for the people. \u25a0 Mr. Seymour too has been a public man for a year. He headed the park board as Fawcett headed the commission. When the business men's committee went to Seymour and his board as they went to Fawcett and his commissioner, demanding a reduction of taxes, tho Seymour board turned them down. They told the committee they would levy the limit, and they did. They went as high as the law allowed In the face of business depression and hard times. • - -*• t# ' And then on top of that the park board refused to pay Its legiti- mate water and light bills and street assessments, and the city to get anything had to cut the bill about ln half. -In other words, after levying the limit allowed by law, the park board then refused to pay its honest debts and saddled several thousand dollars back Into th* city council. -That is the record'of the two men for business economy and efficiency. * .. . r* Fawcett asked for bonds, for bridges and municipal dock, and the people had confidence in him and said yes. Seymour asked for bonds for boulevards and parks, and the people did not have confidence In him and said no. That Is the record of the year, and now comes the campaign. .„ It w, as started by the saloons to oust Fawcett because he passed the anti-treating Ordinance. As soon as started, the special interests Jumped in and took command of the campaign. tm The first election showed that the silk stocking-special Interest crowd had lined up solid to remove Fawcett. But the masses were still with him in the wards where the tollers live and no special privi- leges are asked. yy - , yy.- " ,*", The same old campaign of deception Is being practiced by the. special Interests. They must deceive to win. *7. *\u25a0*. \u0084., xt he rlvate dock owners want Seymour because they want to kill the municipal dock so they can get the business and make a profit on it. The railways want Seymour in because they want franchises and special grants on terms to: suit themselves. 7 The ; saloons want Seymour, ln because he says he Is In favor of the restricted district and opposed to the anti-treat ordinance.7 The gas company wants Seymour in because the people are demanding dol- lar gas and the gas company wants to keep the price at $1.-35. and Seymour Is for high-priced gas. ;He got more when he owned the plant. The telephone company is working hard for Seymour because Its franchise is soon to expire and it wants a renewal to prevent the people getting municipal ownership of telephones. ' :* r-xyyyyx-;: These are the forces back of the Seymour campaign. But they are not telling they are backing him, and they a.-o not telling why. By means they know how to use through long careers of trickery and -\u25a0 fraud on the public they have started others to working In the cam-' paign. They got a lot of women to work against Fawcett by declar- ing he was immoral. They dug up some musty old court records showing he had had domestic trouble years ago, end around these,"* by Innuendo and winking of eyes and carefully pointed insinuations, I .they have alarmed the women. :\u25a0 - \u25a0:-.:..."- ,y'\y-; "j-vvWs The women are new at politics and the scheme worked on many of them.*,' They forgot to look at the record of the last year and see J whether Fawcett had been Immoral. They forgot.the last dozen years and started out to hammering Fawcett while the special In- terests laughed in their. sleeve at the success of the trick.* -.yy *; * 7 A reaction is setting in now, however, and the woman are desert- ing and becoming educated to the fraud. This has caused consterna- tion ln the ranks of the privilege grabbers, and; they are bending • every effort to drive the women back again to Seymour, but howling all sorts of . falsehoods against J Fawcett. They say it was! not - the saloons at all, , but union labor, that > started , the recall, after the \u25a0\u25a0 saloons had admitted they started the recall. 777 .: ; 7 -'7 ;:yy:y\- .-.
