LOCAL DEMOCRATS
 SELECT DELEGATES,

The local democrats met in pri- mary mass meeting Monday night and proceeded to elect six delegates to their county convention, which meets at Flagstaff today. This convention nominates two candi- dates for delegates to the constitu- tional convention. The election is September 12, in accordance with the proclamation of the governor. There was intense interest mani tested in an undercurrent of action, although about one voter did all the talking, which was contrary to the sentiment of those present, az subsequent developments showed. The first action taken was a motion made and carried that the meeting was democratic one and none but democrats wonld be expected to take part in the proceedings.
 Considerable feeling was displayed by would be bosses in their efforts to secure control of the local sitpa- ton, but to no avail.
 The City Hall was packed to the doors, although the chairman and secretary of the county committee had no official call published here in Williams. Interested ones qui- etly noised the date of the meeting about and the unterrifed turned out en masse. There were ninety eight votes cast and the following delegates were elected: George s. Patten, c. s. Patterson, Peter Shafer, James Kennedy, Jim John son and Pat Grove. It is under. stood these delegates favor straight party nominations and no fusion. While they are unpledged and un- committed it is understood they are all in favor of Hugh Campbell of Flagstaff and Geo. w. Glowner from Williams for candidates to the Constitutional convention.
 A majority also favored reor- ganization of the central committee.

TERRITORY TO PAY
 ELECTION EXPENSES.

Secretary Young Wednesday served notice on the board of super visors that the territory, acting for the government, will pay all the expenses of the elections to be held in Arizona in connection with the new state. Young asks that the supervisors buy all election supplies on competitive bids, and that vouchers be sent to him. He de- clares that the secretary's office will even pay all the clerks and all election boards. Thomas expressed some doubt this morning about the legal right of the secretary to as- sume these duties as the laws of 1901, under which the elections are to be held, place such matters in the hands of the boards of supervi- sors. Congress appropriated s10o, 900 for conducting the statehood elections. and it is this fund that Secretary Young will handle in paying the bills contracted in the several counties.-Democrat.

He cen- sures our business men most roundly for their shortsightedness for failing to take advantage of their great opportunity. Williams people seem. he says, to not solicit summer tourists. nor cater to that class of patronage. While we have a superior summer or winter resort to Flagstaff, yet Flagstaff beats us for the reason that we do not ad. vertise our advantages.
