Representative Graham
 InduIges in Prophecy

There are all eorts oi political suesses and rumors in circulation and one oi the latest politicians to shy his own s.cr into the ring in the way of prophecy is Billy" Graham, one of the representatives from Cochise county. Billy says: 'I just have . sort of feeling that the next republi- can nominee Tor the presidency is not going to be either Taft or Roosevelt fit will be Fraok H,tcbcoct. People may cell me crazy if they want to but that's the way I feel about it. Hitchcock's government ownership ideas will be responsible for his noun instion As Chicago"
 Billy" alec has some ideas e to the democratic nomination, "Ip my judgment" he says, "it will develop into . fight between Clark and liar. mon, and nobody need be surpr,sed il Harmon wins."-Republican.

Cochise Sheriff
 Tries Honor System

Captain Wheeler, Sheriff of Cochise county, is 8 great believer in Governor Hunts convict honor system, snd in sending batch of prisoners to the state penitentiary yes erday from Co., chise county he anticipated quietly proving the truth oi the system wish- out the governor finding the matter out until the men had reached the pen. He therefore instructed Deputy Sheriff Allie Howe of Cochise. who was put in charge of the party, to turn them :oose in Phoenix. with in- structions to go on down to Florence by themselves and report to the super. intendent of the pen and tell him who they were and what they came for.
 The plan worked fine. except that part of keeping it from Governor Hunt. The governor found out. and immediately telephoned the peniteu- iIary to be on the lookout for the men who were to arrive in Florence st 1925 this morning. The phone line was busy at every attempt to get in touch with Florence, and it wss not until too late to tell Superintendent Sine to go to the depot and get the prisoners that he was able to commu- nicste with Florence.
 Faithful to the pr mises made to Deputy Sheriff Howe and Captain Wheeler. the men spent the night in Phoenix without gus.ds, and this morning took the train for Florence and arrived there on time.
 Another feature of the trip from COcbise county to Florence is that, under ordinary circumstances two special gusrds, or maybe three, would have been sen' with the party, which was composed of Deputy Sheriff Howe, three prisoners and an insane man by tho name of Barnet. Instead of hav- ing to employ sn additional guard to take care of the insane person, who ~as violent st sta2es. the prisoners assisted the deputy sherifi in taking care of him, and upon arrival at Phoe. nix iset night he was tsken to the asylum.
 The unusual thing about the e:tire trip is that the men were brought from Tombstone without handcuffs and in the custody of but one lone deputy sheriff. h fact, the prisoners evIuced no other desire than to do sbe equare thing by Captain Wheeler, who had trusted then. and by Gover- nor Hunt. who hss put the system into effect within the ststs.-Pboe- Gazette.
