zANDER'S NAME STAYS AT TOP
Superior Judge Phillips Sus- tains Demurrer of Board of Supervisors to Appli- cation of Republicans to Remove Name

Sustaining the demurrer signed by Frank H. Lyman as against the application for temporary alternative write of mandamus. Judge John c. Phillips in the Maricopa county super for court yesterday, dismissed the con- tention of the republicans made to place the name of Thomas E. Campbell at the head of the list of candidates for the state tax commission, and assessed the cost of the suit against the losers. Attorney J. F. Nelson, representing the republicans in the application for the writ, insisted that the intention of the election law was that the names of the candidate for the tax commission should be placed at the head of the ballot without party designation, and in alphabetical order. The law is very explicit with regard to the list of can- didates for the supreme court, and with this as his basis, he insisted the intention of the law was the same with regard to the candidates for the tax commission.
 In the demurrer filed by the board of supervisors, the contention was ad vanced that the law contains a hiatus with regard to the tax commission can didates and that no expelicit reference is made in it calculated to lead to the belief that it is illegal to place the names of the candidates for the tax commission in an order that is not alpha
 The suit was instituted day before yesterday upon the relation of George H. Hershman, secretary of the county republican central committee, who complained that the name of Candi- date c. M Zander was being placed at the head of the list of the candidates for the tax commission, contrary to the spirit and intent of the law, and in- stead of the name of Zander. the name of Campbell being the first one in alphabetical array, should precede all other names in that section of the bal lot. It was alleged in behalf of the complainant that the action of the board of supervisors in so placing the name of Zander at the head was clear ly partisan and wholly an exhibition of favoritism That no sort of construction of the law other than that of partisan ship could possibly cause anybody to put 'Z'' at the top of any column of letters which were even supposed to have the semblance of regular order.
 A further interesting defense set up by the board of supervisors through their attorney, was that the court had no jurisdiction on the subject of the matter involved in the official ballot, that function being rested with the board of supervisors and being entirely discretionary with them, and further, that neither the petition nor the alter native writ issued by the court unless facts sufficient to entitle the petitioners to the relief prayed for.
 It is not known if the application will be placed before the supreme court but further plans to prosecute the suit are now being laid.

 EXgovernor John P. St John was introduced and gave most interesting address. In the course of his talk he told the story of a petition prepared by committee of w. c. T. U. women, Miss Frances F. Willard being the leader It was signed by Mrs. Clara Hoffman, state president of the Mis- souri w c. T. U., Mrs Mary Wood Bridge of Ohio and Mrs Caroline Buell. of Connecticut. The committee visited the republican convention of 1884 and Miss Willard presented the memorial with the earnest request that the re- publican party do something for the temperance cause. Great things were then expected of the republican party and everyone was looking for 1t to take active steps in assisting the temperance work. Miss Willard made a very elo- quent address before the convention to which MT. St. John was that year a delegate. While she was talking an other committee representing the liquor interests was waiting without, and on the ladies leaving. they entered MT chairman, vat are you going to do init dose vimens?"

quiries 1 wish to say that for the past
 forty years I have been doing my level
 best to do away with the liquor traffic,
 considering it one of the greatest curs-
 es of our country. The influence of the
 saloon is bad from every view point As to the reports you have heard,
 they eminate from the people whose interest is with the saloons, and are put out by them to injure the cause not me alone.
 It has been many years since have tasted strong drink, and not only but my whole family will vote dry at the coming election. I only wish that we had thousand votes to cast to put the accursed traffic out of business. The persistent fight have made here in Arizona for thirty years to put down the saloon has cost me many thousands of dollars in money, loss of time and injury to my business, but no one who
 knows me can truthfully say they ever knew me to falter or refuse to do my full duty, even when my life and prop erty were threatened. The saloon men seem to know me better than many temperance people, for they fought to man my nomination, while the tenn
 perance people listened to the evil re-
 ports sent broadcast against me by the
 saloon element.
 No, Mrs. ----- I am not provoked enough over my failure to receive the nomination to turn against the prohf- bition movement for I know was de- feated by the votes of the saloons, the
 red-light women, the anarchists, every criminal outside the penitentiary, and even the influence of those within the penltentiary. This being the case. I
 beg that you will have no fears that I Will go over to the army of the enemy or that will even feel Sore that I have
 been defeated by such gang. I will , only sharpen up my knife and continue
 the trimming whenever I get a chance at them.
 may say that I feel the temperance people did not rally to my support as they could have done. They were told
 to keep away from the polls by men who are trying to ride upon the wave
 Of popular opinion created by the per slstent efforts of others during many trying times.
 AS to the part that my ideas on cap- ital punishment may have played in
 my defeat, I think it was used by the common enemy to deceive the people. l only insisted on law enforcement. and this was my platform. No one. how ever, who claims to be a student of the Bible can deny that it teaches capital punishment from Genesis to Revela- tion.
 Now the temperance people have three candidates for governor that are perfectly acceptable to the saloon crowd. You may take your choice so
 lar as they are concerned. Don't you think it would be inconsistent for one who mas given much of his life to fight ing the liquor traffic to vote dry and then cast his ballot for governor lie knows will do all in his power to make farce of the whole matter Believe me when I tell you that my whole heart is with you in your strug- gle for the interests of your family. Sincerely yours for a dry state. H. A. HUGHES.

 Austria, which next to Belgium is said to have received the hardest knocks of the war, suffered another blow in the damage of an about completed battleship and several de- stroyers by fire at Monfcone This fire was incendiary and shows to what length Austria's internal ene- mics will go to cripple her. The battleship was to have been launched on Sunday with imposing ceremonies.
 The British cruiser Yarmouth made an important capture in seizing the steamers Markomania and Ponte- poros, which had been acting as sup Emden. The Emden has not been heard from since she sank a dozen British steamers in East Indian wa ters. The Markomanit, which was of the Hamburg American line, was taken and sunk in the neighborhood of Sumatra. The Pontoporos, which was Greek steamer, was taken to port.
 The Australians also helped to cripple the German cruisers in the Pacific by the seizure of the German ship Cement with a wireless station aboard which was to be utilized to keep in touch with them. The movements of the Turkish fleet, which has been strengthened by the former German cruisers Goeben and Breslau, and which is cruising in the Black sea, led to a suspicion that it was about to attack the Rus sian fleet. Already firing has been heard off Kaustendje. It is re- ported, however, that Turkey hinted that unless more money was forth coming she would be compelled to demobilize her army. Turkey usu- ally raised funds in France and Eng land.

REVIVE ALASKA BILL
Measure Given up as Dead is Again
 Brought Before House
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcH1


 WASHINGTON, oct 15.-Given up as dead legislation less than week ago, the Alaska coal land leasing bill was revived at the instance of the president and Secretary Lane as part of the administration program for this, session and waits now the presi- dents signature. It went through it's final ordeal in the house virtually without opposition.
 It is designed to throw open Alaska's immense coal resources to lease under competitive biddings.
 To prevent monopoly or in any emergencies the government may re- serve the right to mine coal for the benefit of the army and navy or for tn operation of the government railroad in Alaska
 Eight years ago the Alaska coal lands were locked up. During that time Alaska has been declining. Now her coal can be opened to the world under conditions that will prevent a monop- oly and l trust will secure it's devel- opment" said Secretary Lane.

WOMAN WRITES
 TO OR. HUGHES
She Had Heard Rumors of His Changed
 Views on Temperance

The following letter to Dr. Hughes and his reply will not be without inter- est at the present time: Tempe, AriZ., Oct. l, 1914. Dr. Hughes,
 Phoenix, Ariz. Dear Sir: am very much interested in the wet and dry election. Several times lately when l have asked people to vote dry, for my childrens' sake if they have no interest in the cause, they have said Look at Dr. Hughes he has voted and worked with the tenn perance people for years, and now he drinks as heavy as any one at the lodges; and has come out against the temperance cause, they said you had declared all your family would vote wet. Now several years ago my hus- band came home from a rally and told
 | me about a fine talk Dr. Hughes made 1 for temperance.
 About six years ago a little teacher I Mary White, boarded with me in the Wilson district. She told me you were such power for good in your church and in fact among all the people who knew you. We have lived in the valley nine years and we have always count ed you as among the great men of the state. 1 can not believe you will use your great influence and power against l God and man.
 pr. Hughes, I am only an ignorant woman, raised by a drunken father please do not be harsh in your judg- | ment, but have pity on poor children with drunken parents and don't lift a finger against us if you won't help us I understand you are provoked because you are not to be a governor think from what l hear, the reason you were
 not elected was the people were not in
 | favor of capital punishment. I am a mother of seven children, am trying to educate them and raise l good citizens. Will you please write
 I me few words if this is not true that l I may show it to my friends and it may help the people to come out of a ter
 rible dishonor
 I would be glad to have just word from your wife if you are too busy to answer this.
 Yours very respectfully, P. S.-Please do not be offended as 1 mean no offense, I hold you as an honor to the decent people and I know you will not fail.

Trade At Home
By HARRY WELCA, Secretary
 Board of Trade)

There has been much in the press or late regarding the Trade at Home Movement" but however good, a movement of this sort is. 1t has so far been confined to the operations of the merchants, ard is, to great extent, a sort of swapping dollars between towns people.
 There is much bigger field for the plan than the one so far sug-
 gested. Our farmer should be the first to feel the Trade at Home" movement.
 We are sending out of the state for a great many commodities and necessaries that can just as well be grown here in the Salt River valley. We import eggs, butter cream and a world of edibles, more of which ought to be produced here for the sole purpose of controlling the home
 market How many housewives ask
 for Lily milk? Yet this brand is in great demand all over the Coast, but
 how many of them know that Lily
 milk is made in the Salt River val ley. The creamery is piling up it's
 product It is keeping on paying out to the farmer good money
 which finds it's way to the shop and stOrekeeper.
 Let us have united effort to create a demand for home grown stuff.
 I suggest that committee be appointed to find out what is pre- duced here, where it can be had ascertain what fruits and other articles of food are to be on the market, and create in advance of the date of sale a demand for these crops.
 Arizona dates are now ripe and many of our people could help the sale of this product by sending d sample box to friends and acquaint- ances in other parts of the country. This would be an opening which the quality of the goods would main tain.

FASHION SHOW
 ID BRING MANY
Great Interest Being Mani fested in Coming Style Event, and Many People from All Over Valley Will Come to Phoenix

Plans are being perfected rapidly for the Fashion Show in Phoenix next Monday. Although this is lb- solutely the first general exhibit of its kind that has ever been held in the state of Arizona, it promises to be one of the most popular, and in dications are that many of the loV- CTS of fine clothes and good gar ments from all over the valley, will take advantage of the opportunity given them by the cheaper eXcur- sion rates on the railroads and inter- urban lines to come to Phoenix an1 march down Peacock alley.
 The merchants, who have prom ised to decorate their windows espe- cially for the event. and those who will have their stores open for the purposes of exhibition, have made the most elaborate layouts in order that none of the visitors to the stores will go away dissatisfied with what they have seen. On this oc- casion no visitor to any of the splen . did emporiums of Phoenix will be asked to buy, but the slogan will be No trouble to answer questions, No trouble to show goods" The entire selling force of each store will be present that night for the pur- pose of answering the questions of the prospective buyers and for the added purpose of displaying tine wonderful new confections from the style marts of the world.
 Upon the success of this venture depends largely the proposal to make the Fashion Show of Phoenix an annual event, and a successful annual event, such as it is in nearly all the prominent trading sections of the United States.

LOS ANGELES, Oct 15-General Antonio Villareal, mentioned in dis patches as presiding officer of the peace conference at Aguas Calientes, and also as compromise candidate to succeed Carranza, is the same An tonic Villareal who helped Ricardo Flores Magon and other Mexican soc- ialists in this city foment the revolt against Diaz before Madero took the field. As result of that agitation four or five Mexicans spent some time in the federal penitentiary for violating American neutrality.
 Villareal was identified today by Adolfo Carillo, and Wagons partisans who financed the revolt in Lower Cal ifornia and planned the socialistic commonwealth there in 1911.
 After the failure of this, Villareal became a street railway laborer here. but subsequently, joined Madero and was sent as the Mexican chief agent to Barcelona, Spain.
 "Villareal is now governor of Nuevo
