Old Budqet is Rearranued.

Deficits IN some parts Of the old budget
and balances in Others resulted in Alder
man Putegnat submitting the council a
plan of switching some of the balances, in
the belief that the plan will work to the
benefit of the city's general credit. The
suggestion was placed in the form Of a mo-
ton. and adopted by the council.
The balances are: First class fund.
Si,53O.33: second class fund, S542.69
third class fund, 3 ,Ois.1s; levee fund.
.Si67.4l
The plan provides hat monies from these
funds be used a. follows: 10 pay interest
on warrants, 1850: cleaning streets to
April 81. $500; medicines, $50: first
class fund, salaries, II 800.
The legality Of the plan was questioned.
However, the matter, after passage, was
referred To the city attorney, who will look
INTO 1t, and report to the council later.

BRIEF AND BREEZY
But Good Food for Thought
Meeting Of Saturday Night
Was Help inVoting Right

Last Saturday evening, from
the standpoint of the number of
distinguished speakers who ad-
dressed the audience, the most
important political meeting of
the season was held at the Wins
low opera house. The audience
was not large, in fact it was very
small when taking into consider
alton the number of state officers
who were. billed to make their
appearance before a Winslow au-
dience. Large audiences have
gathered in Winslow to witness a
dog fight (this is in no way a re-
fiection on our distinguished Wis
itors) which goes to prove that
the voters care more about the
principles represented by the
by the man for whom thev are
going to cast their ballots in No
vember than they do about the
flOWery metaphors Of speech
hurled at them from the rost~un.
In company with our visitors
from out Of town were the Hon
Geo. P. Sampson, chairman Of the
democratic central committee,
who did honors on the occasion,
and the Hon ThorWald Larson,
democratic nominee for superior
judge, and Hon S. w. Proctor,
candidate for representative from
Navajo county.
The first to plead his case be-
fore the rather thinly-scattered
but highly appreciative audience
was the Hon Sidney Osburn, sec
retary of state, who after brief
address (here let US emphasize
the fact that all the addresses
were brief and not confined to
mud-slinging in one particular,
thanks to the good judgment
of our democratic candidates)
made known the fact that he
wanted the support of those, and
their friends, whose beeming
faces gloWed in expectancy be-
fore him, on the Sd of November
G. Fl. Boiling, candidate for
state mine ins pector, was the
next victim, and he in true con-
formity with the good judgment
of democracy, fingered only long
enough for the audience to get a
good look and retired before Gu
riosity was half satisfied thanks

THORWALD LARSON
Nominated forSuperiorJudge
At The Primaries Held
September 8, 1914
Fron The winslow Mail Of December 9. 1a11

From The Winslow Mail of December g. 1911
One of the most important po-
sitions, one that requires a gooC
sound knowledge of the law at
large and the Arizona law in par
ticular, is the new office of Judge
of the superior court created
under the new ruling and State
hood. Tuesday is election-day,
and you, Mr. Voter, are the one
who will decide who is best fitted
for this important Office of the
two candidates who are aspiring
for the same office.
Thorwald Larson, the demo
cratic candidate for this office,
without the least doubt or hesi-
tation is the one man in Navajo
county best fitted for this office,
and few words to explain why
he is best fitted for this very i'm
portant position is opportune at
this time.
Mr. Larson was born in the
state of Utah in the year 1871.
He was educated at the Salt Lake
seminary and the University of
Utah. After leaving school and
his studies he took a position as
railroad clerk between Butte,
Montana, and Ogden, Utah, when
only Is years Of age, taking all
the chances and hardships that
goes with railroad life.
