PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT says he is
not interfering with the election in
the two territories regarding joint
statehood, yet with his knowledge
the jointists in New Mexico have
had printed thousands of joint
statehood badges with the presi-
dents picture printed thereon.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the first president
who has posed for calendar pictures
and badges, and we hopo the Lord
in his mercy and the American
people in their wisdom will see
that he is the last one.

WHEN men like Ed. Phillips and
Dave Claridge get out, take their
coats off and work for the straight
democratic ticket, you can bet that
ticket is composed of good, relia-
BILE men. These men are actively
engaged in the campaign IN the
interest of the democratic ticket
for they keeniy appreciate what
good the democratic party has
done for the people of the county
and what it will do.

DURING the campaign just clos

regarding the statehood question
and now it remains for the voters
to pass upon the merits of the
question next Tuesday, The GUAR.

that the vote will be so over

a like campaign will never again

We would naturally suppose
that the Copper Era would feel
that it owes an apology to Hon,
Andrew Kimb ball. When he left
here to go to the bedside of bis
dying wife, that republican organ
at once gave its readers to under
stand that he had left the county
to avoid supporting the democratic
nominees. Mr.. Kimball ls not
that kind of a democrat He went
because his wife was dying and has
since returned home with her
body. Mr.. Kimball always makes
his fight in the convention for
what he believes to be right, and
then, like all true Americans,
gracefully bows to the will Of the
majority. For the information of
the Era we will say that Mr.. Kim
ball is supporting the entire demo-
cratic ticket and is an aggressive
opponent to joint statehood.

THROUGH an oversight on the
part of the clerk of the board in
the rush Of getting out the election
work the socialist candidates for
precinct officers were omitted from
the ballot. After the ballots were
all printed the socialist party
managers brought the matter into
the district court and got an order
mandamusing the clerk to print
the names on the ballots. This
has caused a great deal of delay
and may result in some Of the far
off precincts not receiving their
election supplies and will be a
heavy extra expense to the county.
Of course they had right to be
on the ticket and was simply an
oversight that they were not there

County Negro Breaks into a Trial in
 Court Room.
 An echo of St Valentines Day WAS heard yesterday morning in the civil division of the City Court of Mont gomery when burly country negro came near temporarily breaking up the trial of an important cause.
 Judge A. D. Sayre was trying the important damage suit of W. H. Row ell against the Western Union Tele- graph Company. He was listening with engrossed attention to the learn ed argument of distinguished bar rister on an involved plea.
 Suddenly spectators began to stare. Right through the midst of the at- torneys, jurors and deputies, strode burlk black. In his woody head could plainly be diseerned cookie burr and there was cotton seed on his patched trousers. Without fear he approached the bench of the digni- fled court Without trepidation he as- cended the rostrum. Judge Sayre heard the approach of the brogans. He looked up from the authority he was reading and beheld the bucolic Senegambian.
 Before the judge could fine the ne- gro for contempt of court, the negro in thunderous tones said, Judge, l wants a couple of marriage license.
 All the world loves a lover and Judge Sayre thought of the approach ing nuptials of the negro. He smiled and directed the man to the office of the Probate Judge and instructed the lawyers to proceed
