 Hunt, democrat. ... ... 1S,656 Hughes democrat... ...... 0,S55 Cameron. republican. ~ 3,067 Young, progressive...... ... 7O2 Barnette socialist. ...... 59O
 Total votes cast...... O.. 32,S72
 It is estimated that when the reg istraton books finally close they will contain an aggregate of 65.OOO names There having been no contests in the republican party for nominations at the primary election only a. very small proportion of the voters of that party participated in the election It is believed. however, that the pro. gressives under the lash of Boss Dwight B. Heard and in response to the heart-rending appeals of the Phoenix Republican and other Bull Moose newspaperss cast their full strength for the state ticket This belief being quite general the progress sive state ticket is not being seri- ousiy considered in the campaign, as it is thought the honest progressive will not throw his vote away in east ing it for Mir Heard's goats" The socialists will undoubtedly be in third place at the general election
 The real gubernatorial candidates and the only two that are exciting general interest in the state are Ralph II. Cameron and George w. P. Hunt This necessitates a little spec ulation on how the 3O.0OO of voters silent at the primaries, will go in November Of this vast number of voters it is estimated that fully 70 per cent are women. who have never had an opportunity to vote in a state election and whose party alignment therefore, is hard Co determine Cam eron is known to be a favorite with the ladies, and his supporters be- lieve that he will receive support from a majority of the fair ones. Hunt intimates that even though not quite as popular with the women as Mir Cameron. he will trust to the husbands to properly direct the wives vote. Mir Hunt is undoubtedly taking long chances as 1t is a we'll known fact that the women of Arizona are thinking for themselves and that the erstwhile head of the house. win not prove influential
 Here is the situation in a nut shell There will be in round mum bers 65.OOO votes at the general cleo ton n November At the primary election, after a vigorous campaign. and employing every available auto mobile in the state on election day seeking out voters in every nook and corner. the total democratic vote was exactly 28,513 Astute politicians assert that Gov Hunt unquestionably boiled his full strength at the pri- mary election, which is about 18.5OO The votes cast for Hughes will not go 10 Hunt in any great number IL might be safe to say that Hunt at the general election win receive a grand total of 10000. Now the ques. ton is. where will the remaining I4 5000 votes go? Cameron is the only Ireal contestant in the struggle There ] is but one answer to the question.

CAME HERE TO VISIT
DIED IN SISTERS HOME
ALBERT r.. HAMMOND OF MAY
WILLIE DROPPED DEAD FROM
CHAIR AT TABLE.

Albert II. Hammond, fifty. died at
the home of his sister Mrs William
Piatt last Wednesday noon, heart
trouble being the cause of death. He
had been visiting here for about a
week with Mrs. Piatt. He had been
sick for some time and came here be-
cause of the quietness of the home.
Death came while he was at the din
ner table. He had made the state
ment that he did not feel as well as
usual, but added that the parsnips
smelled awfully good. Within a half
minute after making the statement he
was dead in his chair.
Hammond was a resident of May
Vile, Michigan and had lived there al
most all his life. The remains were
taken TO Mayville for burial last Fri
day afternoon, He was a brother Of
the late Charles Hammond who lived
on the north side. Two sons survive
him both living at Mayville. The only
other relatives in the city besides the
sister are Arba and Arthur Mccoy,
nephews of the deceased.

MARVIN FlLKINS FARM
No Roads. Settlers Followed Indian
Trails 10 IOnia.

In February of 1888 Amos Russell
John S. Morse ana their families came
into the central part Of what is now
Otisco township. Russell was the
father of Mrs. Eliza Fales Mrs. Fales
is the first white child born in the
township Of Otisco. She now lives at

and Mrs. Maude Upger who lives with
her mother.
Mr.. and Mrs Amos Russell came
originally from the state of New York
TO Oakland County, Michigan. After
living there for one year and learning
of the beauty Of the Otisco plains they
decided TO try their luck in this part
of the state When they arrived at

the course Of Grand River TO the

crossed over to the west bank and then
followed the rivers course TO a point
that they thought attractive enough
for home. They selected the bound
aries and took out the land under the
then existing preemption law and then
returned to Oakland county for their
families.
The site OF the houses that these
new settlers built is at a point about
eighty rods almost directly east Of

CITY COUNCIL WILL
VOTE ON SUBMITTING
CHARTER CHANGE
BONDED INDEBTEDNESS is NOW
500, 900, NEARLY UP TO THE
LIMIT.

At the next meeting Of the Council,
that body will take UP the ordinance.
recently published in the Banner, rel
attve to the revising of section No. 25
OF Chapter No. % OF the Charter. be-
ing act No. 31S Of the local acts of
1898
II is recommended that this act be
revised so as to make it possible for
the Common Council to borrow sew
en- per cent instead Of five per cent Of
the assessed valuation OF the city
Before this power is given them the
council must vote 10 submit the ques-
ton to the voters of the city, and in
order TO give time TO print the ballots
the matter demands a special meeting
TO be held Tuesday night April 1st.
The city at present is carrying $780,
100000 in bonds. S75,000.00 are the
WaterR orks bonds drawing four per
cent. Ten thousand Of these are due
in 1915, and the other $65,O0O.00 can
be paid in 1925 but is due i'm 1885.
The other $15,000.00 are the City Hall
bonds carried at four and one-haif
per cent $4,000 is due in
1920, and the other 100000 is due
in 1922.
The assessed valuation being ST.
$685. a little figuring will show that
it is possible for the city to borrow
any more than $500 even for emer-
gencies. Since the matter is up for
consideration and the voters are anx-
ious 10 take a vote on the question
il is expected that the council will vote
to submit it TO the people at the April
election. The action Of the council
at the coming meeting will be watched
with considerable interest.

CONDITIONS At OUR
CENTRAL SCHOOL
NEED ATTENTION
OLD BUILDING CONCEDED TO BE
UNSAFE PLACE FOR
CHILDREN.

With the approach of spring and the
accompanying thoughts of repairs
improvements and building operations
would il not be well for the taxpay-
ers and patrons of the local schools
TO consider the condition known to
exist in the old building at the Cen
trail school?
IL is well known that when the new
building was completed a few years
ago there seemed TO be no immediate
need for using the second story of the
old school house. Within two years,
however. it became necessary to place
a class in the upper room. For the
whole Of the present school year APP
proximately seventy-five pupils have
been housed in the upper room.
Any visitor TO the building knows
that the arrangement of the entrance,
the stairway and the halls do not con-
form TO modern ideas Of construction.
The halls are narrow, and the stair
way poorly arranged The fire escape
is narrow and rickety and does not
come TO the ground by six feet. Be
meath the foot are piled a mass Of
rough concrete blocks torn from an old
sidewalk
The room was recently emptied dur
ing a fire drill in ninety seconds, but
the whole egress had TO be made by
the stairs only. In case OF fire, how
ever, in the lower part of the building,
this means of escape from the build
ing would probably be cut off, as the
shape of the stairway would make OF
IL natural chimney, or draft through
which the flames would rush and there
would be no other means of escape,
except through the windows or the
rickety fire escape.
In other words the children would
be trapped.
If they were not denied the use Of
the stairs. even then, a panic would
very likely pile the pupils in a living
mass at the foot of the stairs. As a
timely precaution against possible cat
astrophe this matter should be inves-
tigated without delay.
In issuing this warning no attempt
is made 10 place the blame on anyone
connected with the school in any way.
Il IS q condition that has grown with
The increase OF students i'm the local
schools. II IS d condition that de-
mands attention and definite action,
and one in which every citizen OF
Bedding is or should be vitality inter
ested.

commended raises in valuation from

cent The supervisors will take these

when spreading the next assessment.
Increased valuations may have some
effect upon the question OF raising the

FRIENDS AND PROSECUTING At
TORNEY eating
CASE.

Recent developments concerning
the death Of Harry X. ThorRe, the man
who was brought here from Baraga
county upper peninsula for burial,
favor the theory that he was the vic
tim OF foul play, and not killed by a
train as was first supposed. Young
Thorne was at one time a deputy sher-
iG in the copper district, and at times
carried considerable money on his
person. Money and other articles
were found on his person, when the
body was picked up beside the railroad
track. The marks and bruises on the
face, however, did not bear out the
theory that he had been struck by a
passing train, but rather that he had
battled with an assailant in self de-
Tense. There were no bruises on any
part of the body except the head and
hands. The head showed every evil
dence OF having been struck with a
club several times, making gashes and
bruises that would not be made by an
accident. The hands appeared to have
been used in an effort to defend him
self.
Fred King, who is a resident of the
upper peninsula, was here visiting his

member OF that lodge The prosecut-
ing attorney there is also working on
the case.
Friends OF Mr.. Thorne, who live
here and have known him for years,
said after looking at the bruises on
the body, that he most certainly did
not come to death from being struck
by train.
