To Dodge Lightning Stroke.

Every year many persons are killed by lightning because they did not know what to do in thunderstorm First of all, 1t is safer to be indoors than out. Most persons are killed when In the open. If you are caught In thunderstorm don't be afraid of sheltering under a tree just because you have heard that it is dangerous It is dangerous to shelter under a sol. itary tree, because lightning likes to strike the hi hest roint as rule for some distarce round. But you ere pretty safe if you take shelter in a wood. X tree in a wood is seldom struck. Certain trees are more dan Serous than others X far greater onmber of oak troas are struck than beech tr.2s. E.m trees are nearly as dangerous .s oak trees Avoid big crowds and collections of animals. For some reason-presumably the warmth that rises from their bodles- crowds Of animals and persons are liable to be struck by lightning

TO THE VOTERS OF THE 20th
 SENATORIAL DISTRICT:

| see that (. B. Andrews has published a card in all the papers in the district in which he makes an unfair and personal attack on me, and it seems to me that the Unfairness of his attack would be apparent to anyone who reads it, on account of the fact that he has never uttered my name in his paper or in any other paper during the canvass until the last issue before the election and when it is too late for ne to publish reply. If he thought his statements were true and would bear an investigation why did he not meet me on the stump or publish these statements be- fore the close of the campaign so that l might be heard in re- ply?
 Mir. Andrews knows that l have been consistent in my pOli- tics and that 1 have advocated principles which l believed were for the common welfare, without regard to whether those princi- pies were popular or unpopular. He also knows that 1 have never played the traitor to my party and that since l have affiliated with the Democratic Party for the last four years have been true to that party; that l have supported its nominees, defend ed the present administration and been consistent in my course He does not rely upon a single qualification that he possesses in asking the people to elect him to an office, except that he says that he has mOurned with the Democratic Party in it's defeats; ; but an examination of his run ming record will show that he has never been in favor with the Democratic Party where he is known
 In 1890 he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for County Judge of Nevada County and was defeated.
 In 1892 he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff and was defeated.
 In 1893 he was appointed Post master at Prescott and served until 1897.
 In 1898 he was a candidate on a temperance platform for the Democratic nomination for rep resentative and was defeated.
 In 1900 he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for representative on a whisky plat form of his own make and was defeated.
 In 1902 he was q candidate for the Democratic nomination for
The Prescott daily news., 1914-03-23

representative and was defeated.
 In 1904 he was candidate for the Democratic nomination. for representative at a Primaiy ' where several candidates were T the race and was elected.
 In 1906 he was a candidate for reelection for a second term, and his record was so disgrace fui and he had brought such shame on the people who had hOEored him that out of 145S votes in the Primary Election he only received 271, less than one in five.
 In 1908 he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for representative and was again defeated.
 In 1910 he was nominated fer Mayor of Prescott by a conven~ ton composed of less than fifty men, and was elected without opposition.
 In 1912 his record as Mayor was So unsatisfactory that he was defeated to l in a Primary Election for his second term by Randolph Hamby.
 In 1896, while he was Post master, he fought Judge Gibson who was the Democratic n0m- inee for Senator of this district; and at the last election he re- fused to support Governor Hays, after he had been nominated by the Democratic Party.
 have never been turned down by my own party.
 So far as l am concerned I rejoice that the white men of this country can go in one pOli- tical party, because the differ ences which existed heretofore have been removed. There ought never to have been any differences and everybody seems to rejoice except Buck" and he did rejoice until he thought he could get an office by stirring up old political strifes.
 am willing to stand before the people of this district on my record, on my fitness and on my integrity, and let them choose between us.
 l deplOre the necessity for having to send this letter, and would not do so except that , am afraid my silence might be miScOnstrued.
 Respectfully.
