SALES NOT MANY,
BUT PRICES GO UP
Washington Exchange Shows
Tendency to Boom Things.
Commercial Vote Counted.

While trading on the Washington
Stock Exchange today was light and
the nrincipal activity was in the bond
list there was a tendency to higher
nrices All of the sales consisted Of
small lots of securities. The bond sales
recorded included two Washington
Railway and Electric As at S2& and
s27t. a $500 washington Gas at 1854,
and one $1,000 Potomac Electric Power
Consolidated at 1O0ss The Potomac
Electric Power first SIS were in demand,
but the raising of the hid price full
point from 104 to los. failed to induce
trading.
Washington Railway and Electric pre-
ferred was the leading stock. fifteen
shares being disposed of at ssh, and S34s.
The bid nrice was then raised from S2&&
to s3K. The other sales were confined
to one share of Mergenthaler Linotype
stock at 215K. and ten shares or Com
mercial National Bank stock at 1851.
The board of tellers selected to con-
duct the special election of the Com
mercial Fire Insurance Company, which
is to determine whether or not the
capital stock of that corporation shall
be reduced by one-half and the surplus
increased proportionately, completed
this morning the tabulatlon OF the re-
suits of the voting of yesterday.
Under a rule signed yesterday morn
ing by Justice Wright, in the DISTRICT
Supreme Court. these results Will not
be made public until five days shall
have ELAPSED. in order that any STOCK
holder may have opportunity to protest
against the rulings and findings of the
board of tellers.
Meanwhile, Alonzo H. Stewart, chair
man of the board of tellers, is engaged
in the preparation of his report By to-
morrow morning he expects to have this
completed and ready for review by rep
resentatives of the several factions OF
stockholders who participated in the
election. A conference between these
representatives will be held, and a de-
termination then reached as to whether
or not any protests shall be filed, and
If so. just what points are to be contro'
verted. In case of such decision, these
particular points>will be taken into cour'
for final determination.
To sanction the proposed stock reduc
ton a two-thirds vote of all Of th'
cotnpanys stock outstanding is required
which would be approximately 62OO
shares. Robert R. Tuttle. president o.
the company and leader of the factor
which is supporting the stock reduction
contends that he and his associates, hav
ing poled votes representing 14O
shares. will have a clear majority of be
tween 200 and !, 400. Robert H. Mcneil
head of one of the opposing factions
however, asserts that he and his friends
voted 1900 shares, which, with reduc
tfons made from the Tuttle vote on chal
lenges. he alleges, will defeat the propo
sition.

A party consisting of John Flannigan. Cliff Frost, Elmer Flannigan, Tom Andrews, Ed Leopold and Del Close, who have been hunting in the Heber and Phoenix Park district. for the past two weeks returned home Tuesday bringing two bucks with them. Elmer Flanagan claims the honor of drawing first blood, while Cliff Frost took second money. Tom Andrews stated that Leopold and Close spent most of their time paint ing deer, bear and turkey signs, and so true to nature was their work that they had the rest of the party on a fresh trail all the time, otherwise they would have brought in more game.

 To adopt methods in the con- duct of the state penitentiary that will place that institution in the light of a reformatory rather than a resort; and to make of it an institution that will not tempt man to crime that he may enjoy its luxurles.
 To give honest labor prefer, ence over convict labor.
 To use my best endeavor to secure title for homesteaders and to in every way protect their interests and legal rights.
 To encourage the construction ard the improvement of pubic highways along lines that will net be burdensome to taxpayers and that will give employment to honest men.
 To assist and encourage in every way possible the states educational institutions, that their beneficent effect may be intensified.
 To vigorously discou a ge freak legislation and to give every encouragement to laws, intimated or otherwise presented calculated to encourage invest ments in Arizons that the states resources may be developed and that uninterrupteG employment at good wages may be afforded the army of idle men coming out from under the wreckage of the Hunt administrator.
 That 1 will be elected gover- nor of Arizons on November 3rd is my sincere and honest belief. 1 base thls conclusion on what 1 know will be the intelligent and sane action of the voters of the state. My election will be the signal for an influx or a great volume of out side capital, which will be used in developing our mines, our mills our lumber interests and our stock and agricultural lands, which means a return to the good old days of prosperity en- joyed before the inhiction of Hunt.

It should be the aim of every citizen of Arizona man or woman to cast his or her vote on Novem- Der 3rd for a candidate whom, if elected. will bring the greatest degree of prosperity. happiness and general contentment to the state.
 Governor Hunt, during the three years of his administration, has established a record upon which he must stand or fall. 1 have no personal fight to make or him. His sturdy honesty" was heraided broadcast through out the state during the cam paign of 1911 His prated in- tegrity" was one of the pillars employed in supporting the pe- destal of democratic hope. Mir. Hunt has been in office now for d period of three years, during which time he has had ample Op- portunity to verify and make good the claims of his supporters during the campaign of three years ago. 1 wish to state that at this time there is a vast diff ference of opinion among the original supporters of MT. Hunt, and that the banners upon winch Were inscribed study honesty" and "unimpeachaDle integrity" will not be LhIown to the breezes during the present campaign.
 That the governor has erred in judgment, has proven weak, va c,Iiating and incompetent; has Tn many instances substituted so- cialistic principles for those of the democratic party and preci- pitated the state in disaster and Tn nationwide disgrace and dis credit Tn the indictment returned against hlm by goodly percent age of the members of the demo- cratic party ana d large portion of the conservative, thinking voters of the state.
 
 In addition to the charge of in- c jmpe lency, the administration h $ been characterized by reck- l-ss. almost criminal eXtraYa- g ,nce. It has inStall.d a horde oi high saIaried attaches. chosen rather because of their personal frlendship and their extensive b.uoo and voting relationship, than for their competency and a :uual necessity, and all that a powerful machine might be errct- ed with sufficient strength to withstand the assaults from the more intelligent within the de- mocratic party and from the more intelligent within the democratic party and from the voters in the republican party and its following. The strength of the Hunt machine was demonstrated at the recent state council of the democratic party when the voice of con- servative democrats was hushed and their hands tied that the personal ideas" of Hunt might be advanced as the policies of the real democratic party.
 That the voters on November 3rd will emphatically express their disapproval of the Hunt regime is my firm belief. l feel that my record as servant of the people will influence a large majority Of the voters Of Arizona to give me thelr support; and firm in this faith. 1 pledge my pest efforts to-
