The Weathcrs-
 Fa4r and Warmer Wednesday-
The copper era and Morenci leader. [volume] (Clifton, Ariz.) 1911-1929, 1914-07-24

This week w. w. Dutton, of Mo
renci, announces that he has at
last definitely decided to enter the
race subject to the democratic pri-
maries, for the office of county SUI
pervisor, thus making two of Mo-
rencis citizens who will contest for
the position as County Managers, A.
L. Gravely having entered the con-
test some time since.
The news of buttons announcement
has excited attention throughout Mo-
renci and Clifton, and rumor was
busy all of last week concerning
whether or no he would reach a
positive decision. On Saturday last
reports in Clifton were that he had
then entered for the nomination, al
though not until Wednesday was a
final decision reached.
Mr. Dutton is conceded to be an able
candidate, and his race is expected
to interest the other candidates.
Apparently a strong following is ex-
pected in other portions Of the
county, and he enters the race with
confidence. He has resided for a
number of years at Morenci, where he
is employed as assistant to Jno. Nc
Dougall, chief of power department
of the D.. C. M. company. He
has been counted as one of the ener
getic members of the democratic party
in this section.

Transforms Destructive

The heavy transforms OF Saturday
afternoon placed the Morenci half of
the road to Clifton in bad condition,
the water in places down the Mo
renci canyon leaving the roadway so
uneven that automobile riding was
not of the usual smoothness. How
ever. the Clifton half of the road
withstood the floods splendidly, the
automobile drivers stating that i'm
mediately after the storm had pass
ed the roadway was as before. The
material used is such that with the
excellent drainage no i'll results fol-
low rains.

Sheriff Jno. D. Patty and Dick
Franz were in Morenci Wednesday in
regard to the outlook concerning the
republican party placing ticket in
the field for the coming elections.
While here they were in consultation
with a number of the leading repub-
llicans of Morenci concerning the pro-
posed ticket. Strong persuasion was
brought to bear upon DR.. Goodrich
that he consent to enter the race for
the office of State Senator, and
while DR.. Goodrich has not yet de-
finitely decided to make the race, yet
his friends both at Morenci and the
other precincts of the county are
hopefully awaiting his favorable de-
cision. Certain as a candidate of
the republicans is Sheriff Patty, for
reelection, and indications are that
Mr.. Franz will finally agree to enter
the field for the office of county
supervisor Members of the party
Throughout the county, as well as
many friends of other affiliations, are
requesting Mr.. Franz to enter the
race, as his strength as party man
and a citizen is such that the ticket
would be strengthened by his en-
trance. No doubt his decision to
enter the race would be the cause of
marked interest among the three
democrats nominated at the Septem.
Der primaries.
Leading republicans of here and
Clifton have received kilograms adj
vising that the Yuma county republi-
cans have decided upon reunion OF
the two factions of the republican
party under conditions that mum
Der of principles advocated by the
progressive faction be embodied in
the program which will be offered
under the title of the republican
party, thus advancing the republican
party in progressive principles, and
returning all factions to the old re-
publican fold. Indications are that
in all the counties of the state this
agreement will be achieved, thus
bringing harmony again to the or
ganization.

Conservative estimates of the num-

that about six hundred and

estimate appears as probably too
low. Judge Lally is still on a quest

missed in previous canvasses.
