THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

The ticket presented by the Dem
ocrats Of Yuma county, for county
officials, to be voted for at the reg
ular election in November, is a
strong and clean ticket. 1t is en-
titled to the support Of every voter
who participated in the Democratic
primary election. 1t represents the
best there is politically speaking in
Yuma county. 1t is geographically
we'll located. 1t is composed of
strong men. There is comparatively
little soreness left by the primary.
The defeated candidates will sup
port the entire ticket. The prospects
for election of the ticket could not
be better.
The Democratic party in state, ma
tion and county, is in the ascend
ency. Now is a good time to line
up with this great, progressive par
ty. With President Wilson at it's
head in the nation and Governor
Hunt as it's leader in Arizona, il
stands fo1 the best there is in Am
erican life. Yuma county wants to
contribute it's part in the work of
the Democratic party. To do this
it must elect it's home ticket by good
majorltjes A good guess at this
time would be that every candidate
Oh the Democratic ticket would be
elected by the largest majorities
ever given to a county ticket in
Yuma cOunty.-Yuma Sun.

sQUTTERs MUST GET OFF.

DR.. L. T. Jackson, the Sells broth
ers, w. C. Weatherstone and twelve
other residents of Laguna, known as
'squatters" on government land since
1906, have been ordered by the de-
partment of the interior to move
from their homes, and two land Of
flee men are here from Washington
to hear arguments forthcoming as to
why the governments orders should
not be obeyed.
The settlers claim that originally
they were encouraged to take up the
land by the local reclamation officials
and with the acQuiescence of the
Phoenix land office. Six years later,
in 1912, they were ordered to move
and were informed that no water
would be furnished them for irriga-
ton purposes.
The order to vacate, if enforced,
would work much hardship and seem
ing injustice to the sixteen settlers
and their families, and it is to be
hoped that an amiable adjustment csa
be reached.-Yuma Examiner.

He drew the amendment to the

PRIMARY LAW UNSATISFACTORY

Comments heard from all parts of
the state indicate that an attempt
will be made during the session of
the second state legislature to amend
the direct primary law. The first
election held under the law dis
closed features which a great many
persons regard as defects.
There is a widespread demand that
the law be amended to keep members
OF one party from voting in the pri-
mary of another party either to as
sist friends who are candidates or to
nominate weak candidates who can
be defeated at the general election.
1t has been suggested that each vo-
ter be compelled to state his political
affiliation at the time he registers.
Many favor the California plan Of
declaring elected any candidate who
receives a majority of all votes cast
at the primary, This, it is argued,
will prevent apathy in a party where
there are no contests for nominations

ib1e to state offices it has been prov
en- that the last paragraph of the ar
ticle clearly amends that other part
of the Constitution about which there
was some doubt and that women can
now hold all offices in the state from
the governor down. AS a result we
now have a woman candidate for the
important office of Superintendent
of Public Instruction.
Mr.. Robertson acted as vice-presi
dent of the Yuma County Suffrage
League and was most faithful in the
distribution of literature and all 9TH
er work that he was called upon to
do in connection with our suffrage
campaign two years ago. 1t is we'll
known that Yuma county was one of
the banner counties in the majority
given for Equal Suffrage. The wo-
men of Arizona certainly owe Mr..
Robertson a debt of gratitude for
his work in their behalf

Getting Busy.

A preliminary report on the un-
derground water supply of the Colo
rado River Indian reservation was
completed early in the week by the
Board ofTrade, and mailed to the
Arizona Land Commission. The re-
port also contained arguments fav-
orins the opening of the surplus and
unalloted lands of the reservation
under a pumping system, and ask
ed the Land Commission to make
application to the secretary of the
interior for the opening of these
lands by outright sale to settlers in
small units A member of the land
commission will arrive in Parker
within the next few days to investi-
gate the feasibility of the proposed
plan, and if found practicable a
formal request will be made by the
Commission to Secretary Lane to
thus dispose of the lands to settlers.

near Ehrenberg, where a ferry will
be constructed to receive and land

noting this enterprise for the past
few months, and it is claimed that

Biggest Thing Along System.

That the Colorado River Indian
reservation is the biggest and best
thing along the Santa Fe system is
the opinion of R. M. Roberts, ag-
ricultural demonstrator for the San
ia Fe Railway company, who spent
Wednesday here looking over the
rich agricultural lands surrounding
Parker. In the opinion of Mr.. Rob-
erts a pumping system of irrigation
would be more economical for these
lands than a gravity system. Ac-
cording to his estimates, an adequate
pumping plant and well can be in
stalled on each 40-acre unit at q
cost not to exceed $500.
