First to Throw His
Hat in the Ring

Very early in the year the
democratic contest for nomina-
ton for governor has been got
under way. DR.. H. A. Hughes,
who it has for some time been
assured would be in the field, has
left no doubt of that fact if there
had been any doubt by the issu-
ance of a card announcing his
candidacy before the primaries.
The card follows:
DR.. H. A. Hughes, Democratic
Candidate for Governor of Arl-
zona. Strict enforcement of the
laws rather than more laws.
Because sentence against an
evil work is not executed speed
lily, therefore the heart of the
son of men is fully set in them
to do evil" /" EccJes. VIII, 11th W
This scriptural quotation is in
terpreted to mean that if there
were more murderers hanged,
there would be fewer murders.
DR.. Hughes is understood to have
decided views in favor of capital
punishment.
1t is expected that the an
nouncement of his candidacy by
DR.. Hughes will shortly be fol-
lowed by that of Senator A. A.
Worsley, who is now in the north
ern part of the state canvassing
the situation.

Migratory Bird Protected

The most important legislation
during the past year for the pro-
lection of game was the act of
Congress protecting migratory
birds. In accordance with the
provisions of this act, regulations
have been adopted by the De-

were approved by the President
on October l, 1913. A copy of
these regulations has been re-
ceived by the Forest Service
office, which has furnished the
following information in regard
to the operation of the law in
Arizona:
The closed season on water
foul, including wild ducks and
geese, is from February l to Oct
ober Is.
A daily closed season on all

Gus birds extends from sunset to
