WORST CATASTROPHE
 OF. MODERN TIMES

The loss of the Titanic wherein over 1900 lives were lost, will likely prove to be the greatest marine dis aster of all time. It is not at all unlikely that it will develop later that the great ship might have been saved had not the captain been try ing to make a record, or possibly to break one. If the ship had not been making great speed, despite the danger of fog and icebergs, it Is more than likely that she would not have been so badly injured that she sank within four hours; this fact alone shows her speed must have been great, or the impact would not have so disabled her that she could not stay afoat long enough to have her passengers transferred. If a de sire of record had anything to do with the great disaster, it Is time that an International Commerce Board step in and take charge of such an important business. It would be interesting to know why the ships persist in using route that is known to be dangerous from fogs and icebergs.

LOCAL POLITICAL POT
 BEGINNING TO BOIL

In this issue of The News F. E. Fousha makes his announcement of his candidacy for reelection to the office of town clerk. MT. Fousha has held this office for the past two years and has attended to the duties in a satisfactory manner to all concerned. The records of the office have been kept in clean and business-like manner, and as tax collector he has proven himself to be the right man for the place. As clerk he has been diligent and accommodating and he respectfully asks your endorsement at the cleo tion on May 27.
 For the past four years c. s. Patterson has filled the responsible office of town marshal of Williams, and that he has given satisfaction to the people of the town goes with out saying. MT. Patterson has made a good officer and has han dled the various disagreeable du ties attached thereto in a manner that reflects great credit, not only upon himself, but to the good name of Williams. He has been fearless in the discharge of his duties, all offenders looking alike to him where an infraction of the law has occurred. If reelected he prom ises to discharge his duties in the future as he has in ike past.
 The next two years will see many important changes in Williams, and a great many of these changes must originate with the city council. A good, strong council can do won ders for any town-a council com posed of progressive men-men who look ahead. Alex. Chesholm is the sort that believes in Williams and has confidence in the towns future. He is a member of the present council, and he has shown his abil- ity by advocating and voting for every measure for the towns ad- vancement. He is seeking a re-elec- tion at the coming election, and there is scarcely a doubt but what he will be returned by a handsome majority.
 At the earnest solicitation of his many friends, Jerrie w. Lee makes announcement this week that he will make the race for town clerk MT. Lee has never held any office in Williams, but he is well known as a first-class accountant and book keeper That he is capable to fill the position he seeks is an assured fact, or he would not be filling the responsible position he does with the Arizona Central bank. He re- spectfully solicits your support at the coming election, promising, if elected, to give the office the atten- tion it deserves.
