ALDERMEN HOLD
LIVELY SESSION
Want Resignation Of Marshal and
City Clerk---Bond Of City En-
gineer Raised to $4,000.

mon council, adjourned from
Tuesday evening for want OF a
quorum, was held Wednesday
evening with Mayor Schaal pre-
siding and all members present
except Alderman Ward, who was
reported confined to his home by
illness. In the absence of Bert
Ward, who has been acting as
city clerk since his brother, E.
Ward left the city, Marshal Bed
soc proceeded to read from some
memorandum an account of the
two previous meetings which had
not yet been written up in the
minute book. Several of the al
dermen present, who had been
absent from the regular and spe-
cial meetings held i'll February,
wanted information on what had
been done at those sessions, and
as they were unable to get from
the memorandums in sight suffic
lent informal ton to satisfy them.
a feeling of disappointment per
vaded the atmosphere which de
veloped quickly into resentment
Alderman Henderson, who left
a sick bed to be present at the
mev ting, took the floor and mad
vigorous protest against the ac
ceptance of the memorandpms
presented as regular minutes as
well as to their reading by the
city marshal. Failing to secure
immediate recognition and the
stopping of the reading, Alder
man Henderson raised the point
Of personal privilege, and his OBJ
lection being sustained by the
chair, he proceeded at tsome length
to express his sentiments on the
present situation.
Taking up first the city mar
shalsh1p. he said: "When Mar
shall Hanks, over year ago, Sc

Gil to appoint this man (Ble iso.)
to act in his absence, while he was
out on a hunting trip, it was un
derstood and agreed that such
appointment would be termina

of the marshal; SO that since tn,
moment the marshal got back
Blodsoe's appointment was an
nulled right there, and since that
time he's had no more authority
to act i'll that capacity than this
man (Theodore) here.
"When City Clerk Ward left
here we were given to understand
that it was only going to be for
a short time and his brother, Al
derman Ward. was appointed to
act in his place. He's been gone
four months, and we understand

"This council hasn't been pro

put myself in the clear '"
This lucid expression, ''in the
clear" seemed to summerize the
situation and appealed to Alder
man LaPrade who declared in

Under other circumstances a

RALLY FOR
CAMP PAICN
MIG. Burns, Territorial Chair
man. Spends Day in Wins
low Conferring With
Local Democrats.

The Democrats ofNavajocoun
tv were called together Monday
evening by DR.. George P. Samp-
son, chairman of the county COM
mittee. The purpose of the meet
ing was to reorganize their forces
and consider the course to be pur-
sued in the campaign for the
constitutional convention and
the election of state officers after
the passage of the statehood bill.
The gathering included quite a
number of representative demo-
Gratis, principally from Winslow
and Holbrook, and the meeting
was characterized by a feeling of
enthusiasm and confidence.
District Attorney W. P. Geary
made a forceful and eloquent ad-
lress in extolling the virtues of
democracy, It's mplIShmentS
If the past in effecting wise legis.
lation, and its hopes and expec.
ations for the future.
DIR. Sampson was elected chain
man of the County Campaign
Committee, which committee
will consist of nine members and
they will carry their work into
very town and hamlet in Nava-
10 county.
The duties If the can. "a, gu
committee will in nowise eoal1iet.
with the regular county commit
Tee, the work of the former to
erminate after the election OF
state officers.
w. 6. Burns, territorial chair
nan, when interviewed about
lis recent controversy with Gov
.1nor Sloan over the educational
md residence clauses of the new
statehood bill said there was
nothing in the arguments made
~ the governor that would JUS
lify his attack on the territorial
educational qualification law
md that his insincerity in his
present position on the subject
is too palpable to deceive anyone
INTO thinking he has been actu-
tted by any praiseworthy mo.
tive. Mr.. Burns expressed his
belief that the omission of an
educational qualification from
the senate statehood bill and the
shortening of the residence period
are distinctly Republican party
measures devised to further their
political advantage by leaving
the doors open to colonization
and manipulation. According
20 the provisions of the present
statehood measure" he said,
when the great register is closed
before the time set tor voting for
delegates to the constitution con-
ventiOn it cannot be added to
until alter the election for state
officers, so that if a man was not
in the territory for full six months
preceding the registration he
would not only lose his right to
vote for delegate to the constitu-
tional convention, but also his
right to vote at the election for
state officers which might occur
a wear later. These are inconsis-
tencies which plainly indicate a
81 lister purpose by the Republi-
can party to attain their object
by party manipulate n OF the
ballot" d"
Asked whether the Democratic
party in Arizona would likely
make any concerted fight on the
adoption of the senate statehood
bill because of its obnoxious pro-
visions, Mr.. Burns said he did
not believe the party would OBJ
iect to the adoption of any state
hood bill unless its provisions re-
uuired the submission to and ap-
proval by congress of any amend
ment to the constitution after
Arizona becomes a state.
Mr. Burns left the city Tuesday
for Holbrook.

THE REAL QUESTION
Shall the Citizens of Louisiana Submit
to Dictates of a Political Machine?

The question that confronts the peo-
pie of Louisiana today is whether they
will submit to the dictation of a State
political machine, of which it is charged
that the Governor himself is the chief
architect and of which he is the head
and front He has announced that he
will not qualify as United States Sen
ator, that he will occupy the executive
chair to the end of his term, and that
he will be a candidate for the United
States Senate at the State primary in
1912. Another question is whether the
people will tolerate the continued exist
ence of the New Orleans machine,
Which at the last State election defraud-
ed them out of the nomination and cleo
ton of State officer, and which stands
as a perpetual menace to their liberties.
The issue is timely and burning one,
and il is the mission of the Democratic
Good Government League of Louisiana
to aid the people to settle that question
rightly, and to settle it at once and for
all time to come
