represents the martial spirit of man
kind, that from immortal time has
charged back upon those who would
place obstacles in the way of the march
of human progress While appreclat-
ing the stupendous nature of the task

That platform which you have
adopted is the guarantee OF the
genuineness of your democracy. 1t for
titles every theory of government
which has ever given strength TO the
American commonwealth
But while virtuous the cause and
vital the principles, and strong the

tells US that their conquering way will
be slow and difficult unless their le-

their spirit, and whose qualities OF
leadership are equal to the task OF
moulding public opinion and establish
ing a new epoch in American history
my candidate is more than a citi-

momentous period of political doubt
: when the nation has to decide whether
it will, or how it will grapple with
the great economic problems of the
time there is no man in American lie
who presents such credentials for the
task as he.
s@The Man Courageous
He surrendered the presidency at
a time when his reelection would have
been a certainty, in the hope that other
hands would prosecute successfully
the task he did not have time to finish
That task has been treated with inter
mittent loyalty and has largely been
left undone We ask that the task be
again entrusted to him whose loyalty
to principle has never faltered and
whose breath of experience qualities
him over all men for the duty.
My candidate is the man courageous
Of American politics His challenge
has always been to a struggle In the
open. There have been none so power
fuI as to awe him and before him
the greatest captains of industry have
lowered their lances-"

ANOTHER SPECIAL
 SESSION PROBABLE

llhoenix, Ariz., June 24.-It was re borted tonight on authority of a ! lgh source, that second special
 ession of the Arizona legislature would be called by Governor Hunt, probably in November. In event the state supreme court holds that the election law passed by the re- cent special session, was unconstitu- tional, as many lawyers here be- lieve will be done, there could be no regular session of the legislature, under the existing law, until Jan uary, 1915. In that event, more than two years would elapse with no legislative session, and some means must be provided for the passing of appropriation bills.

Good County Road to Ash Fork

Last Sunday morning our towns man, B. F.. Sweetwood, with his new and elegant auto, a Ford car, drove from Williams to Ashfork and returned in just three hours one hour and thirty minutes each way.
 He was accompanied by Col. Brown and Judge X. N. Sleeves on the trip, and all enjoyed immensely the road through the pines and flower laden shrubbery, which grows in abundance and is now in full bloom along the roadside. They found an exceptionally good county road all the way, but in few places small culverts are yet necessary, in order to bridge the little pitches so likely to break a swift-running machine, and to carry the water which, as now, will be sure to cut out cross ings in the road. But they made fast time all the way, arriving at Ashfork only ten minutes later than west bound passenger train No. l.
 At Ashfork they met hearty welcome, enjoyed a good lunch and then started back to this city, ar irving much refreshed by the trip.

BRYAN DOMINATES
 THE CONVENTION

At first it looked like the steam roller, with the Tammany forces at the throttle, had crushed the Bryan forces at Baltimore, when they succeeded in having Alton B. Parker chosen temporary chair man of the convention; but the pro gressives later came to the front and elected Ollie James, of Ken lucky, pronounced progressive, permanent chairman.
 Bryan and Senator O'Gorman of New York were chosen to write the platform.
 Owing to wire trouble, the Pos tai Telegraph Go. was unable to furnish bulletins pf proceedings of the convention.
 Clark is in the lead for the nom- ination, but Bryan and Wilson are coming up fast.
 One thing is certain, and that is the nominee will must have the approval of William J. Bryan.

 lowing to the fact that the free text book act does not become eff fective until August 13, 1912, and that prior to this date the board of education is unable to open com petitive bids for prices on the school books, or to do any other definite or binding work relative to the pur- chase of text books, and whereas the majority of the public schools begin the middle of September, and some as earl y as the last of July, and whereas under the circun- stances the schools would be with out text books for several weeks after the opening of the term; and whereas, the legislature found it inn possible to make this, the free text book act, an emergency act; and whereas, the attorney general has advised that it is within the power of this board to postpone this mat ter; therefore

BULLETINS WILL BE
 SENT FREE TO YOU

The News on Wednesday receiv- ed the following letter from Hon. Carl Hayden. The letter explains itself:
 "Please announce in your paper that l have obtained an additional allotment of Farmers Bulletins and that shall be glad to send as many as seven to any resident of Arizona who has not as yet received his share of these government publica- tions. While they are called Farm ers' Bulletins, an examination of the list will show that they contain much information that is of value to those who do not till the soil.
 "I have already distributed a large number of these bulletins in Arizona and 1 hope that those who have not ordered their seven bulle- tins will write me at once. Congress will probably adjourn about the last of July and I will remain in Washington until the last day of the session.
 q have also obtained a limited number of Year Books of the de- partment of agriculture for 1911 and shall be pleased to mail a copy to anyone who will write me. My ad- dress is room 4O6, House Office Building, Washington, D. c.

ROOSEVELT APPEALS
 TO ALL THE PEOPLE

Chicago, H., June 22.-Roose- welt was nominated for president on an independent ticket tonight during the dying hours of the re- publican convention in which he met defeat. The followers of Reese- welt gathered in the orchestra hall, less than mile from the Colisium, and pledged their support to the former president. In accepting the nomination Roosevelt appealed to the people of all sections, regard less of affiliations, to stand with the founders of new party, and one whose cardinal principles, he said, would be "Thou shalt not steal" The informal nomination ct Roosevelt is said to be chiefly for the purpose of effecting a tenn porary organization. Beginning to- morrow, when call will be issued for state convention in Illinois, the work of the organization will be pushed rapidly, state by state At a later time, probably in August, it is intended that a national conven- tion shall be held.
 Col. Roosevelt's speech was sub stantially as follows:
 Gentlemen, I thank you for the nomination. In you 1 recognize the lawfully elected delegates to the republican convention who repre- sent an overwhelming majority of the voters who took part in the re- publican primaries prior to the con- vention and who represent the wish of majority of the lawfully elected members of the convention. I ac- cept the nomination subject to but one condition. This has now brought contest which cannot be settled merely along party lines. The principles that are at stake are as broad and deep as the founda- tions of our democracy itself. They are in no sense sectional. There fore we should appeal to all honest citizens, east, west, north and south, whether republicans or democrats. :"

The executive committee of the Fourth of July celebration commit tee met at the town hall Wednesday evening and almost completed all arrangements for the big doin's here on July 4-5-6.
 Reports from all committees were read and they all showed gratifying results, especially the one from the committee on baseball. This will be one of the main events during the celebration and the fans can rest assured of seeing some classy ball. The crack clubs from Wins low and Albuquerque will be here. The game on the Fourth will be between Albuquerque and Williams, the losers of the game to play Winslow on the following day. Saturday the two winning clubs will play for the big purse. There will be $475 to be divided among the baseball clubs Sunday there will be game between the winners at the Flagstaff celebration and the winners at Williams.

 As is usual the street sports will be held on Williams avenue. The program for these events includes the hose race and children s sports.
 At II am. Senator H. A. Davis, of Phoenix, will deliver an oration at the band stand. MT. Davis is an eloqent speaker, and as he has shown his sincere friendship for our people when friends were most needed, there is no doubt of his re- ceiving a hearty welcome
 It was seen fit this year by the Fourth of July committee not to give the Williams Shotgun club any monies or prizes, as has been done heretofore.
 The committee seem to be under the impression that the gun manu- lecturers and powder companies are donating prizes to the club for this day, which is not the case.
 Many of the members feel the slight keenly,, ,as contributions have been given for other sports by many of them.
 However, the Williams Gun club will celebrate the Fourth by having a regular tournament.
 The principal event will be the 25-bird contest, the winner receiv- ing Colt automatic pistol.

Organizers Leaving Town-Chief of Police Forhids Woman to Solicit Funds.

Thursday forenoon, Benjamin J. Le- gere. an organizer for the l. w. w., who with other organizers, has been in the city for several weeks, said they were going to leave the city. He is going to Middletown for while. and then to New Jersey, where many labor difficulties exist at present. He said the interests of the local of the organization in this city would be looked after by its members, but that different speakers would be sent here from time to time to deliver addresses.
 Thursday afternoon. a woman, who has been in the city for some time. off and on in the alleged interests of the I. w. w. called at police headquarters with alleged credentials from higher ups" in the l. W. w.. seeking permis- slon to solicit contributions in the city to help the organization. Chief E. H. Richmond turned the request down, saving that it was an established poll ey not to permit anyone to solicit funds in the city. for any object not directly benefting the city of Willi- mantle and it's citizens. The woman agitator was somewhat insistent, but the chief cited a number of instances where others had been turned down even solicitors claiming to be working in the interests of various religious movements, orphans homes, etc. Some time ago it was necessary to take this stand, as the business men and citizens generally had been pes tered by solicitors with one game or another,
