New York, Jan. 25.-The weakness OF
today's stock market was about as mar
row as the recent show of strength, and
seemed equally due to professional OPP

for the Park Avenue tunnel disaster.
There were sharp advances in Rutland

statement was probably due to it's fail

ly up to expectations. The fact that in
terror institutions have been placing
loans in New York led to some hope that
a corresponding reduction in deposits

but the statement failed to show this.

James 4. Johnson.

As the day on which the county election draws nearer the prospects for the reelection of Jas. A. John son to the office of sheriff only grows the brighter. And why should it not? MT. Johnson has performed the duties of his office in most business-like manner and at less expense than was done by his predecessors Granting that his opponent is a man equally well qualified for the position, he still lacks the experience which is nec- essary, and which enables MT. Johnson to conduct the business on the economical basis on which it is operated at present
 Far be it from us to throw mud at one man and bouqets at another, but the fact that MT. Johnson is the man for the position is very pertinent.
 The man who is able, from what ever cause, to conduct the business in his office at least cost to the tax payer, and whose work is satisfac- tory throughout, is the man whom the people, who have to foot the bills, want to have in office, and such an one is James A. Johnson.
 When the votes are counted on the 4th of next month it will be found that he is the choice of the people, and Jim is one of the kind who will show his appreciation of their confidence by giving the coun- ty the best administration possi- ble. If you want to keep a good man in office, vote for Jim John son for sheriff on Tuesday, Nov. A.

 MT. J. c. Milligan, the defeated candidate for the democratic nom- ination for probate judge, has filed a petition as an independent candi- date, and will make the race for probate judge despite the fact that he was turned down by his party. This insures the defeat of Acker by a big majority, and the election of Douglass, the republican candidate. MT. Douglass is just the man for the place, and regardless of politi cal faith, the people are for him.
 MT. Dutton, the republican can didate for councilman, has every reason to be pleased at the outlook of his candidacy. He has always been a popular man wherever known, for the reason that he is one of the people, and has their in- terests at heart all the time- No one can accuse him of dishonesty of purpose, or of entering into politi- cal schemes to advance the inter ests of any favored set of individ- uals. That's what Coconino coun- ty needs in the legislature-men who will protect her interests, rather than men who merely desire the pay of the office. A vote for A. A. Dutton means a vote for good, clean legislation and no jobs.
 The Flagstaff Gem points with pride to the fact that SPA democratic votes were boiled in the democratic primary election, then later adds that there are 1714 voters regis tered. If the democrats can find any comfort in this they certainly are a happy lot. If their figures show anything they show that there are 1090 votes left after the demo- crats rustled up every democrat they could find, or a clear majority against them of 466 votes.
