Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1912-05-30

Harry Donkersley and present coun
 cilman Jack Dunne tied. George Downey was all to the good and nearly at the top. He has made 2
 good councilman, and deserved re-elec tion.
 A. L. Verdugo, the real progressive of the old council, will be there with the goods for the next two years, and , he deserves the honor.
 W. c. Pryor is a new man in the
 game of politics, but the Examiner
 predicts that he will make good.
 City Clerk s. Frank Stanley was re-
 elected by an overwhelming vote, re- ceiving the largest vote cast, or AT more than the high vote for council man.
 City Marshal Henry Levy received q. flattering vindication of his past ad- ministration. He had the hardest fight, his opponent, Theodore Brice, being one of Yuma's most popular young men.
 The splendid vote received by Geo. Harding for supervisor of streets, in which he boiled 6S more votes than his opponent, James Cawley, was one of the big surprises of the election. Mr. Harding is one of the best road men in the Southwest, but MT. Caw ley had recently demonstrated his abil- ity in the building of some of the best roads Yuma ever had and his election was almost conceded.
 Fourteen good men for councilmen were up for election, and but seven to elect. Result-same old story.
 Jack Dunne, the anchor of the city council, is the right man on the job. | He is a conservative in the transac- tion of the city's business affairs.
 The city is more than merely for tunate in securing for the council | such a conservative as Harry Donkers- ley. He will work for the city in terests, and will stand squarely on the platform on which he was elected |
 The highest any candidate received was 432; the lowest, 43.
 John M. Williams was high Social ist, receiving 82 votes.
 Fifty votes were challenged in pre- cinct No. 1, for inability to read Of write the English language-all but six were allowed. Had they all been thrown out, it would not have changed the result in favor of single candi- date.
 The Examiner has the names and addresses of these 50 voters and a suggestion has been made that the place to stop illegal votes is at the time of registration.
 It is probable that the election of ficers are blameless in allowing so many of these voters to pass but it will do no harm to take steps to safe guard the ballot as it should be. The proper officers have duty to perform in this important matter.
 The vote in precinct No. 2 was counted by 10 o'clock, but it was past midnight when the count was com- pleted in precinct No. 1.
 Party politics cut absolutely no fig ure in the election as evidence of this the returns show that though ma is overwhelmingly republican, six of the ten officers elected are democrats
 The election was a very quiet one, but notwithstanding, the vote boiled :, was the largest in Yuma's history by 100 or more.
 The citizens of Yuma will expect , every officer to carry out the plat form pledges which, if done, will put Yuma on the map.

low the philosophy OF Mrs. Ellen Spencer
Mussey. Mrs. Mussey is one of those
who regrets deeply that leap year comes
as often as once in four years. II II
were possible, she would urge the enact
ment of n Congressional measure, elimi-
mating the year from the calendar.
Il don't think that the leap year plan
is fundamentally right from a matri
monial standpoint" said Mrs. Mussey
last night. Il believe that when a young
man finds the right girl for him, he
will ask her for her hand without any
solicitation on her part. As to whether
advances on the part Of girls are neces-
sSry because OF the backwardness of
men, / am unable at present TO give an
opinion. You know these things have
passed out Of my mind since I've been
a grandmother"
Take your choice, girls. Here are two
PHILOSOPHERS. II you follow one. you
wait for the man to recognize you as
the sweetest girl in the world. II you
follow the other-the plan OF Mrs. Bar
ney-Hemmick-you yourself announce 10
the young man that you are the one for
whom he has been searching.

WISHES. LEAP YEAR
GAME EVERY YEAR
Mrs. Barney y-Hemmick Advises Girls
to Grasp the Opportunity
in 1912.

Say, girls, you are a backward bunch.
One Of your own sex says so, and it's
true. Mrs. Christian Barney-Hemmick,
a woman who speaks authoritative
ly, says so, and 1t must be true. This
is leap year, and it's your opportunity
to step forward. Mrs. Barney-Hemmick
says that you must make the advance
IL some Of you ever intend to land a man
bargain. Just listen to her sound ad-
vice.
Leap year; why, It's a great thing, /"
said Mrs. Barney-Hsmmick last night
DO 1 think that a girl should take ad-
vantage Of leap year opportunities? Why,
I most certainly do. 1 never could under
stand why girls will sit back and wait
for the young man to make the ad-
vances. Why should they not change
from the defensive to the aggressive?
have noticed the backwardness Of girls
especially at dances. Why do the girls
sit quietly and wait for the young man
to make the advances for the dances?
II believe that the girls should be more
forward and progressive Leap year;
ah, it's a great thing. There ought to
be some arrangement whereby IL would
come every year"
And girls, you had better take this ad-
vice, for Mrs. Barney -Hemmick is a
woman OF experience and knows whereof
she speaks She herself is a bride OF but
a few months. She is also a woman of
refinement and artistic temperament; 80
YOU need not fear that her advice IS
mere trash.
Girls, there's some hope fer you if
you follow this advice; but maybe your
mammas would prefer for you TO fol-
