The Motor and Speed Regulator
To secure perfect evenness of
tone, it is important that the
motor of a Phonograph be regular
and positive in its action. 1t
should run at exactly the same
speed when tightly wound as when
almost run down, and its speed
should, at all times, be uniform.
The Artophone motor is built
by the most experienced and ex-
pert mechanics, to meet the spec
ial requirements of this machine.
II, is so we'll constructed that, IL
oiled and cleaned occasionally, &c
will last indefinitely.
Machines at very much higher
prices have no better motor, and
few have as good as that found In
the Artophone. The speed regu-
lator is so scaled that by simply
turning a conveniently located In
dicator, any desired speed may
easily be maintained.

Senator Ashurst is losing his
strength and prestige in this
state with demoralizing rapidity.
Members of his own party are
deserting his banner in all Sec
tions of the state, and the cause
in nearly every case is a convic-
tion of his lack of loyalty to his
friends. The senator seems to
hold to the opinion that the only
use he has for friends is to boost
himself into office, and when an
chored don't want to be bothered
with them.

The Legislative Ticket.

j. E. Richards, better known
to the citizens of Navajo county
as Ezra, is the man of right cali
ber for our representative in the
legislature. He is a farmer and
rancher at St. Joseph, who has
lived practically all his life in
this section of Arizona. He is a
friend of Winslow, and under
stands the needs of the whole
county, and as our representa-
tive he will be found always on
the side of good government.
His running mate for the SEN
ate on the republican ticket is E..
T. Tanning, who needs no intro
duction to the people of Winslow,
where his personal acquaintance
embraces practically all our pop
ulation. In other parts of the
county where he is not so famil-
lar, it is necessary to say Mr..
Tanning for several years past
has been Santa Fe passenger
conductor, where his executive
ability has been recognized by
his brother employees by making
him chairman of their Legislative
committee. This is his first ex-
perience as a candidate, but he
has firm and settled convictions
that an official is a public ser.
want.
With two such men as Fan.
ing and Richards in the legisla.
ture this county will be we'll rep.
resented, and will take it's right
full place in the councils of the
state.

The republicans of this county
present to the voters as candi-
dates for supervisors Messrs. V.
c. Proctor of this city, and C. E.
Owens, and the best interests of
Navajo county will be conserved
by their election. Both of them
are men of energy and sound
business judgment, elements so
essential in handling the finances
and the affairs of the county SO
the taxpayers will receive full
value for the money expended.
Another good feature with Ow-
ems and Proctor as our supervi-
sors there will be no invisible
government directing their ac-
tons, such as this county has
experienced to it's sorrow during
the past two years.

The quiet, unobtrusive meth
DDS adopted by Judge Kibbey in
his campaign for u. S. senator
to succeed Ashurst is winning
him favor and votes everywhere
in the state. No grandiloquent
oratorical outbursts for him to
cover any short-coming, but ir
plain old English that everybody
understands he tells the people
of his faith in the republican
doctrine, and set forth the needs
of our state that should be han
died by the government. He
talks not of himself, neither is
he boasting of his achievements
in the past when he served the
state as governor and member of
the supreme court. His work in
those positions are matters of re-
cord, and not a blemish can be
found. Modestly, but conscien-
tiously, he served the people,
and retired beloved by all. That
same service he will give Arizo-
ma as it's senator.

The democratic machine in Ar
izona is strictly an office holding
aristocracy of Maricopa county
statesmen, and only the elect can
break in. The Arizona law says
that the state treasurer can only
hold his office one term, and the
purpose of the law was to have
a new financial head every two
years. Two years ago David C.
johnson retired as state treasur-
er, and Mitt Sims was elected.
During the past two years John
son has been kept on the state
pay roll as a county treasurer
examiner. Now johnson is a
candidate for state treasurer
again, and if the democrats hap
pen to carry the state in Novem-
ber Mitt will get a job as county
treasurer examiner. Two years
hence Mitt will be running for
state treasurer, and Dave will be
examing county treasurers. The
democratic machine are observ-
ing the law by evading it, and
we naturally wonder what par
ticular bank in Maricopa county
has got its clutches on the state
funds, and holds the whip hand
over the machine. 1t might be
well for the voters to beat Mr..
johnson this year, and put a
new man IN charge, and see if
some bank is using the state
funds to keep out of the hands
of a receiver. Let us follow the
law which says a treasurer shall
serve only one term.

With American munltiOn fac.
tories pouring literally portion
| of their ill-gotten gains into the
Wilson campaign for dissiminat-
ing the prosperity propaganda,
the democratic managers are hop
ing to stampede the American
people to Wilson. There is no
doubt the munition factories are
enjoying an era Of prosperity in
selling their output to England,
and in return for the gold Mr..
Wilson passively permits our
country to be humiliated and dis
graced by the bullying English
man. Never since the founda-
tion of this country has the Unit
ed States occupied such humil-
lated position in the eyes of the
world as it does at the present
time, when patriotism and love
of country is debased for Eng
lish pounds sterling. The rap
ing of Catholic nuns and Nor
mon women in Mexico is not of
sufficient moment to interest Mr..
Wilson and his advisors, because
their time is fully occupied read
ing insulting notes from the En-
glish prime minister, and franz
ing replies that will not lose the
munition trade. Wilson seems
to forget the European war was
caused by the killing of an Aus
trian prince. Every American is
a prince or princess under our
form of government, but killing
scores of men and ravishing hun
dreds of women only stirs a mild
protest from Wilson, who trusts
the Mexican bandits will heed
his protests and establish a sta
pie government to protect the
lives of our men and the purity of
womanhood, as he is too proud
to fight. " That policy meets the
full approval of the munition
manufacturers. hence the Doodle
fund.

Gov. Hunt evidently thinks the
people of this state are only in
terested in his friend of labor"
cry. but election day he will dis
cover that some of our people
were more deeply interested in
keeping Arizona dry" The
governor has never explained to
the voters whether he has been
converted to the cause of pro-
hibition for Arizona. AS mem
Der of the constitutional conven-
tion he bitterly opposed and de-
feated both the prohibition and
woman suffrage amendments,
and when both were later sub
mitted by initiative measures,
the governor was still opposed to
both. However good a man may
be personally, if he is not big
enough to grasp more than one
idea, he is hardly big enough to
be the right kind of governor for
a growing state like Arizona.
Without criticising the governor
for what he claims he has done
for labor, we want to go on rec
ord as saying that the prohibi-
tion amendment has brought
more comfort and cheer into the
homes of more laboring men than
anything Gov. Hunt has ever
done or attempted to do, and
this was accomplished over the
governors opposition. Think
ing only of the laboring man is
a politicians wiles, but it is the
real friend of labor who strives
to help the laboring man and his
family. The friends of prohibi-
tion are not going to be beguiled
into voting for Gov. Hunt, with
his record of opposition before
them.

1t should be gratifying to Sher-
iff Newman to know that every

are out spending their time and

this county that he has been u.s.
ing the power of his office to en-
force the law.

The house of deputies of the
Episcopal church, in session last
week at st. Louis, adopted res
olution giving women the right
to sit in that body as delegates.
Even the church is beginning to
recognize the emancipation of
women, and when we stop to
think the churches of the land
owe their very existence to the
zeal and work of the women, it
is surprising the church has been
so slow in according women a
voice in it's councils.

Without regard to the individ-
ual political beliefs of any per-
son, this state and the nation
have the right to expect and de-
mand that every legal voter will
exercise his kingly prerogative
on November 7th. Go to the
polls and register your sentiment
on the kind of government you
want. Don't shirk your respon-
sibility. The individual who re-
fuses to vote has no just cause
for complaint if the men elected
to office are not to his liking, and
himself lacks the element of good
citizenship. The shirkers in the
exercise of suffrage are always
the good people of the communi-
ty, who have made themselves
believe that politics are generally
corrupt, and they might be con-
taminated if they even partici-
pated by casting a vote. Did
you ever stop to think that the
worst element of society = the
crooks, the gamblers. bootleg
gers, the habitues of the under
world, and the lawless class gen
erally-never fail to vote, and
always vote for the candidates
they know will not disturb their
cause? These cattle always know
who their friends are among the
candidates, and they never wait
to be hauled to the polls, but are
early on the ground to vote and
work for them. One excuse of
the good people for not voting is
that they do not know for whom
to vote. They seem to forget
this admission is a reflection or
their intelligence. The lawless
always know whom they want
because they make it their busi-
ness to find out. This accounts
for so many undesirables always
seeking public office, because
they know they will get the soliC
vote of the underworld, and they
hope to pick up enough support
from the unthinking to land then
in office. Elections, particularly
in the larger cities, are practl
cally controlled by the lowest
worst element. Notwithstanding
they are in the hopeless minori
ty, simply because politicians are
aware this class always vote tc
the last man, and they cater tC
them, knowing full we'll the GOOD
citizen will be Indifferent about
voting and they stand a chance
of an even break from those who
vote. Under our form of gov
eminent the people get just the
kind of government they want.
If the good citizens don't want
to interest themselves in voting
they must not complain if the
results are not pleasing to them.

The primary purpose of put
ting a dozen or more initiative
measures on the ticket this year
is to befog the mind of the voter
with the hope that his confusion
will result in the defeat of the
prohibition amendment. To be
safe vote yes" on the prohibi-
tion amendment, and vote mo-
on all the others.
