In- asmuch as President Wilson in a note recently announced that the United Etates regarded the assumption of dic- tatorship by Huerta as a violation of the promises for a constitutional elec- tion, the result of this election is not caleulated to have any considerable ef- fect on the American policy. The predicament of General Felix Diaz, ome of presidency, who remains isolated at Vera Cruz, apprehensive of danger if he tries to make a political campaign, excited the attention of officials here who are determined to give him asy- Jum if necessary. The position of the administration with respect to all can- lested in any way. didates is that they should not be mo- DENOUNCES HUERTA. e BN London Graphic Declares He Proved His Unfitness.

SIR LIONEL SHUTS UP. Annoyed by the Importance Attached to His Interview. Mexico Cit: 3 no reply to any further inquiry on the Subject,” was the only answer of Sir Lionel * Garden, the British minister to Mexico, when informed this eve- ning that the Bri foreign office through the embassy at Washington had denied to the American state de- partment the authenticity of his ut- terance$ regarding the United States government's lack of understanding of conditions in Mexico. Sir Lionel appeared to be slightly annoyed by the importance that had been attached to his interview. Asked if he desired to make a formal denial of the interview through the medium of the press, the minister repeated his statement that he refused to carry the controver: further. The British minister finds himself the object of much interest on the part of the newspaper men who are besieging him for further comment on the British- American controversy. Despatches shown him saying that the British newspapers helieve him to have been' misquoted failed to move him to a denial of the statements re- cently credited to him. Sir Lionel ‘appears to take the ground that his opinion has been given undue importance and that it should interview cred- 4 not have been construed as a criticism of Washington. DIAZ AT HOTEL. Will Seek American Protection in the Event of Arrest. Vera Cruz, Oct. 24.—General Felix Diaz tonight stil remained in the ho- tel here adjoining the American con- sulate, where he went last night after he left his home accompanied by John Lind, W. W. Canada, the American consul, and a number of friénds. The authorities insist that they have no order for the arrest of the presidential candidate. Should an attempt be made to take him into custody it is believed he will seek safety in the American consulate. Daniel and Evaristo Madero, broth- ers of the late President Madero, who were arrested recently at Monterey by federal troops on a charge of con- spiracy, have personally appealed through the American consul gt Tam- pico for intervention in their behalf by the United States governmernt .

Stories of “apparent intoxication on Advertising Brings Results When it comes to advertising it is the experienced who best under- stand its virtues. One who can be classed as an authority in such use of printer’s ink says “Advertising is as old as trade. Newspaper advertising in its vigorous application is a matter of the last quarter- century. Even now it is little used when considered against the num- ber in trade who employ it compared with those who do mnot. The city streets aré lined with thousands of shops dependent upon neigh- borhood trade or the casual passerby. Yet examples of success In mer- chandising are apparent in every community. The men who have had the courage to use the columns of the press are the ones who have made their business great.” The benefit of advertising is shown in the experience of the man- ufacturer who spent $27,000 for the purpose of getting his product be- fore the people, to let them know that he had something which they wanted and which was to their advantage to buy. The result of his advertisement brought him $1,000,000, worth of business within a few weeks. It certainly paid him to advertise. It will pay anyone who uses it consistently, and in this section there is no medium which can bring results like The Bulletin.
