 League Holds Meeting

1 his candidacy for the office of road superintendent.
 w. B. Cloyd said that he was not 8 member and did not understand how the league intended to endorse men if it was only considering the men now in the field, and Chairman Woodman stated that the committee was consid- cred other men not yet out. l Roy Hansberger made a neat little speech and stated that he was for bus mess methods and economy as record. CT
 E. D. Marshal spoke as to his candi- Gacy for constable.
 Walter Moser asked the considera- 1 tion of the league and made many 1 friends with his quiet talk.
 w. w. Vim, candidate for sheriff asked the endorsement of the league but stated that if it was given the oth- CT man he would immediately with | nv HI HIS ldhOl dllu QO CllI llC 1 to support him. He was literally ap- plauded.
 w. w. Woodman stated that he was not a candidate, but that there were times when he felt tl.at he o~'' manage three or four of the offices successfully.
 P. J. Miller then arose and said that he had not been asked to speak but in part said:
 'I feel that today I am the best in- i formed man in Yuma county on coun- | ty affairs and as to where and how money is spent want to say to you that your league has already had it's effect on county government and will continue to have it's effect. personal ly know that the organization of this league and it's work has saved the taxpayers money" (Mr. Woodman stated that he knew it tool
 MT. Miller then went on to state that he wanted good men elected to of. ] flee, efficient men, but he created cont ment and got laugh with the follow, ing.
 Il want to state to you that I am taxpayer myself, and that am just as anxious as any of you to see mon ey saved and taxes lowered, and when the last tax rate was made there was some mighty close figuring done, aBd I want to say that MT. Shanssey help ed to do that figuring. know that Mir Shanssey has bad reputation among some of you, but I know that time ana time again when he has voted ''No" when county money was about to be spent foolishly, and if any body doubts it, come up and I will show it to you on the minutes. Of course I am not saying anything against the other members of the boards + *
 It was the last sentence that got lEle laugh and caused the comment, as it was hard to see how MT. Miller was not saying anything against the oth- CT members if MT. Shansssy was the only one who voted no.
 There were some other talks, and later John Syverson got the floor and wanted to know why the county wag- on that was hauling rock down the valley did not carry a decent load, as he had noted one day that it had about third of load. This started a whole lot of discussion during which some body said that the mules had the itch, but Bert Nunnaley said nobody had anything against the mules. This matter was finally settled by the chair appointing a committee of three, Jas. Meadows, w. w. Vim and A. Y. Greer to wait on the board of supervisors and Road Superintendent Smarr and find out what could be done to remedy this and report at the next meeting.
 Adjournment was then taken until Tuesday night, October 3rd. -0
