Capt. Henry Warren, manager
for the Aztec Land and Cattle
Company, spent several days in
town this week.
Slaughter Brothers of Spring
erville sold 1900 head of mixed
cattle at the stockyards Monday,
the price being six cents a pound.
James H. McClintock of Phoe-
nix was here Monday enroute to
St. Johns to gather data for the
history of Arizona that is soon
to be published.
The stork visited the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace H. Larson
Sunday leaving an eight pound
deputy recorder. Mr.. Deputy
was on the job at once and sug-
gested that the old man take a
vacation. Daddy joined the re-
publican candidates on their cam
paign at Showlow the next day.
Everything is dandy and nothing
is being overlooked during his
absence.
The Superior Court was in ses-
sion Saturday morning, Karl G.
Krook of Kingman presiding.
The court was called to try the
mandamus case of Joseph Wake
field of Taylor, defeated candi-
date for justice of the peace.
Mr.. Wakefield was one of the
democratic candidates and claim
ed he was Disseminated against
at the primary and ask the court
for redress, but the case was dis
missed with cost to the plaintiff.
The democratic candidates for
county offices were in town sew
eral days the first of the week
and held a rally Tuesday even
ing at the Pastime theater. 1t
proved to be a very pleasant af-
fair, not very enthusiastic but
all seemed to have a good time
and it was followed by a lively
dance. DR.. Geo. P. Sampson,
county chairman, was imported
from Winslow to preside at the
meeting and introduce the can
didates. He made several at
tempts at wit during his intro
ductions but the puns being
hoary of age failed to amuse
many except the candidates.
They appeared to be in good hu-
NOR and all easily amused, most
of them acting like a bunch of
overgrown school boys with
honesty beaming in their SUM-
burned faces. Each candidate
took his or her turn at the speak
ing after a very elaborate intro
duction by the chairman and all
assured the voters if elected he
would make a good officer. Oc-
casionally one of the speakers
would guarantee the whole dem
ocratic ticket and the best orator
left the party long enough tc
take whack at Ralph Cameron.
He bemoaned the fact that Ralph
did not approve the state con.
stitution as a whole when it was
first written. But incidently he
inferred that it had been founC
necessary to amend the divinely
written instrument in severa
weak places this early in the
game and stated that We were
again face to face with the foe
with other proposed amendments
to be voted on at this election
He urged the voters to be care
full, evidently. fearing that the
instrument was becoming more
acceptable to Ralph Cameron

evidence to disprove anything or
substantiate his position, he calls
upon all lovers of fair play to
disbelieve everything and vindi-
cate him at the polls.
The machinery of the repub-
lican party was we'll oiled and in
good running order three years
ago for the first state election.
At that time it was used to its
full capacity by Mr.. Sapp in cir
culating false and slanderous
statements to encompass the de-
feat of his opponent, which was
accomplished with it's aid.
However, the machine COL
lapsed year later on Mr.. Sapp's
leaving the republican party and
joining the bull moose.
During the wet and dry cleo
tion that followed soon after
wards the parts became entirely
disorganized by the tinkering of
spirits and rusted out of COM
mission because of the dampness
of that campaign.
The machinery of the republi-
can party being thus diverted
from it's former use and not in
commission for his second cam
paign, we conclude with Mr..
Sapp that his first allegation
cannot be successfully denied,
and that his defeat was thereby
encompassed.
We have made diligent in
quiry to ascertain who the guilty
parties are who stopped to low
and unwarranted methods on
the eve of the primary, and cir
culated false and malicious re-
ports rejecting upon Mr..
Sapp but fail to find any one ex-
cept few persons who were
venturesome enough to discuss
his official record.
1t being reported that certain
curbstone orators were b o | d
enough to discuss Judge Sapp's
recent judicial decisions pro and
con in public places, among 9TH
ers being the Decker-Showlow
water case, wherein he held that
all of the water in controversy
belonged to the Showlow people
but that Decker was entitled to
damages for their having used it.
Others versed in judicial pro-
cedure averred that Sapp refused
to disqualify as judge in certain
cases after being asked to do so,
always rendering judgment
against the imp whose request
he refused. That he violated
the constitutional guarantees OF
a jury trial. Greer VS.. Brown
That he persisted in presiding
over estates from which he for
merly received an attorneys
fee. The estate of j. H. Breed
being cited from which he re-
ceived a fee of $500. Later
while presiding as judge he con-
tracted for the erection of a
monument at the deceased s
grave at a cost of $3.50 when in
fact $4,000 was appropriated by
the last will and testament OF
the decedent for that purpose
from an estate valued at $75, 600.
Some of the orators suggested
that the saving made by the vio-
lation of the will was a good
business policy in view of the
pre-. ent money stringency and
would be appreciated by the dead
man.
And that since Breed was a
pioneer of Winslow and buried
at that place the people OF the
metropolis would have the priv
ilege of approving or disapprov-
ing the courts monument con-
tract at the polls.

GOOD PROSPECT FOR OYSTERS.
Tug Advance Expected to Tow in
Vessels Now Icebound.

The shortage in the oyster supply, it is
expected. will be in measure relieved
by tomorrow.
The Taylor tug Advance, on her way
from Baltimore to this city to tow hence
the steamer Newport News to the New
port News shipyard, will probably go to
the aid of several oyster-laden craft ice
bound in Wicomico river. The masters Of
these vessels have telephoned tugboat
headquarters here asking that a tug be
sent to bring them through the ice to
Washington.
The schooners Halle X. Virginia and
Lottie Thomas are known to be in Wi
comAco. There may be two or three 9TH
er ships frozen In there. Their safe con-
duct to Washington would provide a sup
ply of oysters good for day or two.
It has been three weeks since the last
oyster-laden vessel arrived here. Dealers
to supply their trade have had to depend
on stock shipped them from Norfolk and
other points on the bay.
Demand for oysters as a consequence
will be heavy. The few thousand BUSH
els these vessels carry would soon be dis
posed of.
The Advance is one of the largest and
most powerful boats in service on the
Chesapeake. The oyster vessels, il their
hulls are protected from the ice, would
ne brought here without difficulty and
oysters IN the shell be again on sale from
vessels at the 18th street wharf market.

ORDERED BACK TO HAITI.
Battleship South Carolina to Leave
Guantanamo Immediately.

Orders to the battleshp South Caro-
lima. now at Guantanamo, Cuba, to pro-
coed Immediately to Port au Prince gave
rise yesterday to fear that fresh revolu-
tonary disturbances had occurred in
Haiti.
The South Carolina had just reached
Guantanamo from Port al Prince when
she was ordered to return. 1t was ex-
planned. however that the orders were
simply precautionary and that the State
Department had decided it would be I'M
wise, in view of the newness OF the pres
ent Zamore government, to leave the
Haitian capital without an American
warship.
The Nashville now at Port au Prince,
has been ordered to Guantanamo for sup
