| Woulu U0 Lu0 ue4t ITcaSuF6E. OuCn confidence begets victory, and Ed gar's campaign bears all the ear marks of complete success. His speech was we'll rendered and the audience showed its appreciation in generous applause.
 The chairman in presenting the nextspsaksr, ; the redoubtabls Boycs. present recorder, and candidate for re election, told of the great victory he won two years ago in the face of Encouragement and seeming do, feat; how he had come from behind with Q rush and developed . popu- larity that landed him a winner by tremendous majority. Boyee needed no further encomiums and the people of his home town greeted him with an enthusiasm that showed the genuineness of their feelings towards their distinguished citizen. He thanked them la 8 little speech, full of feeling and sentiment, expressing the hope that their confidence in his integrity would be continued, and that he would continue to merit their sup. port by . faithful performance of his official duties if he were Js- elected. He spoke generously of his opponent, having nothing but kind words for him. Jess is rap idly getting into the heavy weight class of orators and with continued practice at the art, would give the leading speakers a hard run for the honors. His timidity is wearing off and he is assuming an assurance in his discourses that will in short time add an additional accomplish ment to those he has attained in other lines.
 Another Williams represents. tive, Balph s. Tseple. nominee for Probate Judge was next to take the floor in behalf of his candidacy, and though this was his frst essay in political speaking. he surprised his friends and neighbors by an en tire lack of stage fright. and with an "at home" air that soon had his listeners in the same attitude Mir. Willia ans had made public private tip that "Teep" if elected would dole out free marriage eer- tificate to the eligible young men of Williams whose sole complaint was lack of funds, and the candi- date sort of confirmed this declara- ton of his partiality, and to be en- tirely impartial must make the same declaration down at Flag staff-both to apply for . reason able time only. Ralph's talk em- hraoed genuine vein of humor and as the campaign progresses, he will prove himself as ready as the best to touch a true chord in hip talks to the voters He adds strength to the ticket and will come out of his home town with . good majority that will insure his election.
 Not . novice in tho arena of pol itics, J. E. JoRes. the exemplary citizen of all parts of county. though Flagstaff is his home, was introduced by tho chairman in al few we'll chosen words that sum- med up the worth of the candidate for School Superintendent and the merits that commend him as a fit ting incumbent to the office he now holds and e nominee who always commanded the respectful csnsid- eration of the voters as proven by his successful political life. MT. Jones did not fail in his speech to prove the truth of the ohairman's words. Broad, liberal, with sound views on the question of education, he gave his hearers a resume of the work he had done in the office and of the present efficiency of the pub lie school system in this county, due, although his modesty prevent ed the admission, in . large meas ure to his work as it's head. Eddie is at ease as a speaker and his ad dresses are usually punctuated with humorous allusions and stor- ies that always touch the point he seeks to make. As we'll known in Williams as he is at home, he does not have to dwell on the qualities that will insure a proper steward ship, if the voters see fit to return him to the office of School Supsrin- tendent, and if merit is to be in- dorses in a tried and trusted official his election will follow the splendid campaign he is making.
 Generously yielding most of the time to the other candidates, Mr. Lawrence s. Williams, another of Williams favorite sons, and the last speaker of the evening took up
