payers. Read his platform and then
investigate the facts he has stated. Mr..
Wooledge's platform is as follows:
"To the voters of Ward county: I
am candidate for states attorney.
If you will make an honest and fair
investigation of the work of this Of
flee, you will agree with me that the
Office Of states attorney can be effic-
iently conducted on the plan here
stated. If elected l shall carry out
every promise and statement herein
made, namely:
~ shall impartially enforce all laws.
! shall save the taxpayers lot of un-
necessary expense which should have
been stopped long before this, some Of
which is as follows:
"The equity should not furnish
special prosecutors. If the states at
torney is incompetent, and needs assis-
lance, he should pay the special pros
ecutor out Of his own salary, because
the county has paid him to handle all
county business.
Furthermore, the duties of states
attorney Of Ward county have decreas-
ed at least one-haf during the past
few years, owing to the county divis-
ion and the fact that the county is no
longer a new settlement. A competent
states attorney-that is, an attorney
Of average ability, but who likes to
work-does not need an assistant
states attorney in this county. While
the statute permits the appointment Of
an assistant states attorney, the stat
ute is not mandatory, and should not
ask the county commissioners to en-
ploy an assistant states attorney.
can handle all the duties of this Office
efficiently without an assistant states
attorney, and can still have some time
left for the private practice of law.
"Again, the county should not en-
ploy stenographers and pay Office rent,
and furnish supplies, light, telephone,
etc., for a states attorney to engage
in the private practice of law. If the
states attorney has the time and does
engage in private practice, he should
pay a just proportion of the stenogra-
piers salary out of his earnings from
this private business. He should not
use county supplies, stationery and
postage in his private practice, nor ask
the county commissioners to buy him
roll top desks and Office fixtures.
"Lastly, the states attorney should
take care of all county business before
any private business. He should stay
on the job the year round and at all
times remember that he has been hired
and paid by the taxpayers of this
county to take care of the county bus
mess, promptly and efficiently, and yet
with as little expense as possible.
II ask you specially to investigate
the above matters and if my plan Of
conducting this Office appears to you
to be fair and reasonable, I shall do
my part if you will vote for me on
November 3rd and elect me to this
office.
"Yours sincerely,
&C. S. WOOLEDGE.

 TO THE MINIMUM
FORTUNATE DISCOVERY BY A SOLICITOR IN QUARRY
 CANYON YESTERDAY

R. l.. Livingstone. solicitor with she independent Fuel Co.,. was largely re- sponsible for the prevention of ser ious conflagraGon yesterday morning in Quarry canyon. when he discovered fire fin the roof of the residence of Assistant Cashier J. r. Connolly of the Bank of Bisbee
 Mir. Iivingston was passing the house when he noticed blaze starting in the roof He immediately turned in an alarm of fire and then gave alarm at the house. A hose line was gotten out and the roof drenched. The fire was pretty much out, except for a smouldering spot beneath the roof. when the department arrived and quickly finished the job. Damage was held to a merely nominal amount, a dollars worth of work being sufficient to repair the roof
 The fire is supposed 70 have re. suited from sparks falling on the roof. But for prompt discovery and subse. uuent action. it might readily have made a very serious morning in the canyon.

COAL MINERS SCALE.
Iowa and Missouri Districts Confer.
 ence Is Called.

DIES MONIES, March 27.-Arrange- ments have been completed for a meeting of .he joint scale committee of the coal operators of Iowa. North ern Missouri and district thirteen, United Mine Workers. on Thursday next. The mines will not be closed with .he expiration of the present con tracts on April as a referendum will be taken on the policy of the commit tees plan for a continuance of work at the present scale, providing local conditions are adjusted. Because of the announced determination of the miners to waive the request for an in crease in scale for the next two years 1t is not expected the joint conference will have serious trouble In agreeing upon satisfactory conditions. The strike will be called, only. as Q last resort.
