THE DEMOCRATIC
 COUNTY CONVENTION

Council, gorge Hochdoffer; House of Representatives, La wrence 5. Williams ; Sheriff, John ". Francis; District Attorney, Thomas A.Flynn; Recorder, Jesse A. Boyee Treasurer, Edgar A. Brown; Pro- bate Judge, Ralph s. Teeple; Super visors, A. T. Cornish, William G Dickinson; County Surveyor, Will liam Powers ; Justice of Peace, Williams Precinct, Joseph John ston; Constable, Williams Precinct. James H. Hudson.
 Pursuant to a call of the county committee the democracy of Coco nino met in the court house at Flagstaff, Saturday afternoon, and were called to order by the county chairman, Edgar A. Brown. The eall was read, after which Honor able Henry F. Ashurst was placed in nomination and unanimously elected chairman, and Dr. c. D. Jeffries secretary. On assuming the duties of the chair Mr. Ashurst was called upon for a speech, and immediately proceeded to deliver one of the best pieces of campaign 1ope from a democratic sta ndpoint that has thus far been heard. He soon had the unterrified yelling their shouts of approval, and upon mentioning the name of Honora ble Marcus A. Smith, the democratic candidate for deleoate to congress, almost stampeded the convention in frenzy of cheering.
 A committee on credentials, and also one on platform, was appoint ed, after which the convention took recess of thirty minutes to await their report. The credentials eom- mittee's report showed every pre- cinct in the county represented either in person or by proxy. The platform committee reported a brief but well prepared platform which endorsed the county admin istration, William Jsnning Bryan and Marcus A Smith, at the men ton of whose names the convention again grew enthusiastic.
 Nominations were then called for the various offices to be filled and as all contests had been previ- ousl y settled in caucus, there were no names placed before the conven- tion except those who were nomin- ated, list of whom appears above.
 The ticket Is splendid one in every respect, and it is difficult to see how it could have improved The east and west ends of the county are about equally we'll re- presented, and all are well known and popular men.
 It will seem strange though to the voters of Coconino county to see the name of that old war house. Hon. Henry F. Ashurst missing from the ticket, and not to hear his popular and well-known voice on the stump this fall However, that privilege may not after all be en- tirsly denied to voters, for in a versation with representative of the News, MT. Ashurst confessed that the fever of contest still corrsed through his veins, and that he would be heard frequently dur ing the campaign in advocacy of the splendid ticket his party has pl ced hpfOro fba Doop1a

GLOOMY PROSPECTS.
400 English Cotton Mills Shut Down.

The Abbeville Cotton Mark ct closed yester-
day with a downward tendency. Last Fri
day cotton brought something over 9 cents,
but yesterday 8 7s was all that II would
bring.
Within the last week about 400 bales have
been brought 10 market.
It is perhaps too early TO predict the effect
of the closing yesterday OF 400 cotton mills In
Lancsshires. England. From the following
dispatch It will be seen that the mills In Eng
land, like the mills in America, are confront.
Ing the fact Of ove~r-production, and that the
operatives In that country as we'll as the
operatives in this country are not having the
most prosperous times.
Manchester, England, Sept. 2l.-More than
400 cotton mills in Lancashire are Idle today
as q result Of the dispute over wages between
operative and employees. This means thai
forty million spiudIes are wholly or partially
stopped: that more than $3.50 600 100 OF capita
Ia not bringing In any return, and that l4O.UI
operatives are Without work, and los1ne
something over 500. 900 In wages week. In
view OF the present glutted condition OF the
market, 1t Is not believed that this cessation
OF work will entail heavy damages to the
employers.
II is not felt here that the strike will last
long, for the card-rOom worker are expected
to take q second ballot Roon and agree to The
5 per cent reduction In wages which already
has been accepted by the spinners.

A Plea for Better Sidewalks.

sept. 22, 1919.
Mr.. EdIior:-I>n't Il a real good time for the
authorities to put our side walks IN better
condition before winter limo clutches us
The side walks are In worse condition than
for many years. Washes and bitches run
across them and down them and make the
walks absolutely dangerous In many places
for pedestrians.
am not unmindful OF the good work that
the city authorities have been doing in
beautitying the grounds In the square. but In
contributing 10 art and beauty they must
keep in mind necessary repairs.
An abuse that ehou d be stopped ts allow
ing wagons 10 be driven along the sidewalks
to unload sand. dirt, manure, leaves, etc
Are our sidewalks to be made wagon and COW
lots?
Only recently the writer noticed where a
heavy wagon had cut up a sidewalk In the
heart OF town and broke the terracotta. An
other instance a beautiful new terrace was
cut Into and almost ruined by a careless
sidewalk driver. Again, several palings Of a
nice white painted fence were torn of by q
SAND hauler on the sidewalk TO throw sand
in an adjoining yard, not in the yard OF the
injured fence.
Wake up, city fathers. Progress.
