l.. B. HANNA
With the approach of the primar

With the approach of the primary
election June 28th the people through
out Williams county and the state are
taking a keener interest in the selec-
ton of candidates to go before the
fall election. And of all offices for
which candidates are to be nomin-
ated, none is more important than that
of United States Senator. BY the
senators and congressman we send to
Washington we are very largely judg-
ed through the country. And upon
them determines whether or not our
state is properly represented; Wheth-
er those matters of vital Importance
to the people of North Dakota receive
the attention they deserve and de-
mand. North Dakota never sent
more able, more honorable, more effi-
cient hard working representative to
Washington than L. B. Hanna. Not
only did he represent us there with
great credit, but early and late did
he work for the best interests Of the
state and it's people, individually and
collectively. Who is there in the state
who ever wrote L. B. Hanna letter
asking his help or support in any
matter but what he received an an
swer as fast as the mails could bring
it. Ever and always has he given his
close personal attention to the thou
sands of matters that have been
brought to his attention by the farm
ers, the homesteaders, the business
men, the old soldiers and the people
generally of his state. No more loyal,
patriotic citizen of North Dakota ever
represented it's people in public office.
His life work has been and now is the
building up Of North Dakota and the
best interests of it's people. To do
this he has given most freely and will
lingly of his time his ability and his
money. No more unfair, unmanly,
untruth was ever publicly or private
ly stated, than when Senator P. J.
McCumber in his recent speech at
Williston insinuated that Governor
Hanna in this present campaign is
using against him, an army or 200
state employees and 100000 Of the
states money. Any such statement
or insinuation is utterly and abso-
lutely false and no one knows that
better than Mr.. McCumber himself.
Rather than bring him support, it dis
gusted his hearers as being un-
worthy Of any man who represented
or aspired to represent the state ar
rived at casting reflections upon the
governor it proved to be boomerang
for Mr.. McCumber, being a man who
claims sufficient knowledge Of North |
Dakota affairs to represent the state |
should know that no governor has the |

Miss Alice Anderson has been very
sick with diphtheria for several weeks
at the family home near Gladys. Miss
Anderson was taken sick about three
weeks ago but the dangerous nature
of her illness was not realized until
a youngsd sister, her mother and
father all began to show symptoms of
the same ailment, when a physician
was summoned and pronounced it
diphtheria. Antitoxin was used which
has prevented the development Of
serious cases in the latter mentioned
members Of the family and Miss An
derson is improving slowly although
she was seriously i'll for several days.

Hughes Home Town Inside Out
With Joy

Glen Falls, N. Y, June 10.-This
town, the birthplace of Justice
Charles E. Hughes, turned itself in
side out when its sons nomination was

town footed. Tonight the town gave
itself over to an oldfashioned demon:
stration with bands, red fuses and
all the other paraphernalia of enthu-
siasm.

COMPANY { TO STAGE
GREAT MILITARY PLAY
INTERESTING EVENT AT ARM
DRY FRIDAY, JUNE 23-TO
AID BUILDING FUND

The members of Company "E," N.
D. N. G., will stage military play
at the Armory- Auditorium next Fri
day evening, June 23, which will be
one of the most interesting events
given in the city for many weeks. The
play is to be given as benefit to the
building fund, and outside of the eX-
penses Incidental to giving the excel
lent production the revenue realized
will go to defray building expenses
This is indeed worthy cause as there
is surely no building in the city which
has done so much and which will con-
tinue to be of such general pleasure.
and benefit to the general public as
the ory-Auditorium. When one
considers that the Auditorium is the.
only building of the kind-the only
real auditorium in circle 200 miles
in circumference-it is better realized
how much need there is for it. The
handsome editice is nearing compile
ton and within short time the gym
nasium will be ready for use, and it
might be appropriate at this time to
state that persons not affiliated with
E Company may enjoy the pleasure
of the gym by purchasing season
tickets which may be procured from
G. G. Harvey and other members OF
the company. But to get back to the
story of the play attention is directed
to the excellent cast given below: The
synopsis sounds interesting and the
attraction should fill the house to ca
pacity. A military play at this time
is very appropriate, and this produc--
ton "At Tampa Bay or With the
Boys of '98' produced under the able
direction of the veteran actor Tom
Lennon, will strike the popular chord

RoOsevelt's DeclinatiOn

Oyster Bay, June 1O.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt tonight Informed
the progressive party that he cannot
accept the nomination as their candi-
date. Roosevelt stated that he de-
sired his conditional refusal to run be
place din the hands of the progress
sive national committee while the
committee went over the statement
of Charles E. Hughes, nominated by
the republicans. The colonel asked
chat the committee decide whether It
be best for the country for Hughes
to be elected, and if it did so consider,
treat the colonel's refusal as definite.
The statement follows:
Il am very grateful for the
honor you confer upon me BY
nominating me as president
cannot accept it at this time.
do not know the attitude of the
candidate of the republican parry
toward the vital questions of the
day. Therefore, if you desire an
immediate decision, must decline
the nomination. But if you pre-
fer it, l suggest that my c0ndi-
tiOnal refusal to run be placed in
the hands of the progressive ma
tional committee. If Hughes
statements, when he makes them,
shall satisfy the committee that
it is for the interest of the c0un-
ry he be elected, they can act
accordingly and treat my refusal
as definite. If they are not satis-
fed, they can so notify the pro-
gressive party, and at the same
time they can confer with me and
then determine on whatever action
we may severally deem appropri-
ate to meet the needs of the
country. ~

 Mr. Kerr is one of the pioneers of the forest service, starting in as a ranger in the old Gila forest and was later promoted to supervisor; he was transferred to the Lincoln forest, then to the Datil, finally being promoted to assistant district forester in charge of grazing for the district.
 He has many warm friends locally who will be pleased to know of his recently acquired happiness.

SPECIAL POLITICAL DOPE
 TO THE COCONINO SUN
(special dispatch to the sunl

Special dispatch to the Sun)
 Senator Ashurst wired Ed. Priest that he would start for home Sunday. He will arrive in Arizona as soon as the train crosses the state line.
 Especial dispatch to the Sun)
 William Jennings Bryan, who has attained more than local reputa- tion, passed through Flagstaff Sun day. He was riding on train. There were other passengers on the train. The train stopped here. After the train had transacted it's regular bssi- ness, having come from the east, con tinued on its way toward Ash Fork. The engine was dragged along by steam, caused by burning oil. There was a regular fireman and engineer on the train. There was also Trap hagen conductor. A number of other employees of the road were on the train helping it along. The. engineer caused the whistle to whistle as it came into town. Air brakes were used when the train stopped. It took water here. Oil was used to boil the water that made the steam that was used in propelling the engine. The conductor said Fall aboard" before the train started to leave It is reported around town that MT. Bryan and Eu- gene Debs have been candidates for the office of president. If any of them had been elected they would have to move to Washington, as it is reliably reported that most presidents have lived there from time to time. MT. Bryan is not going to move his family to Flagstaff this year because it is too far from Nebraska, town north of Kansas somewhere.

WANTS PRODUCE EXHIBITS
 FOR THE STATE FAIR

County Immigration Commissioner Allen desires to advise the ranchers of the county that owing to ill health, he will not be able to person. ally attend the state and northern Arizona fairs this year in charge of the products of the ranchers and others, but will be pleased to have any such products brought in to him and he will see that they are prop erly taken care of and sent to the proper superintendent of the two fairs.
 If you have anything to offer this year, and there seems to have been plenty of prize stuff raised this year on the different ranches in the county, send it in to him, as Coconino county should by all means be represented.

 County Immigration Commissioner.

WANT BETTER ROADS
 FROM PAYSON TO FLAGSTAFF

The Payson, Asiz., News says: The road building is continuing unabated, and it will not be long before autoists can make the trip from Globe to Phoenix or Phoenix to Flagstaff with comparative ease. One piece of road that should receive the attention of the supervisors and be built is the Fossil Creek road, because it is the only road in the winter when the weather becomes bad. If this road is not built, people will have to do as heretofore during the winter-come to Payson from the lower country, turn around, go back to Phoenix to reach Flagstaff, Winslow and other northern towns.

WHY NORMAL SCHOOL SHOULD
 HAVE CRACK CADET CORPS

A number of patriotic students of the Normal are endeavoring to organ ize a cadet corps for drill purposes, believing there is plenty of material a,rcng the young men to get together d crack corps that would be credit to the institution.
 Some objections are being made be- cause it is argued that it teaches militarism;" other arguments are also made against 1t.
 Southern state schools have cadet corps and are proud of them, includ- ing the Indian school at Phoenix, which now has a company of crack soldiers doing border duty. While it is true that no mother de- sires to raise her son to be soldier nor does father, for that matter, he has strong hopes that his son will not be the one that is pointed out as one who has no interest in the wei fare of his country, more than what he can get out of it. Wyoming's answer to the charge of "militarism" is, after five years trial: "Teach the school boys to live true, think true, and shoot true" It is the game of life to be true; sacrificing for principle for temper ary gain is not the great game of life as taught us in the good book; life is worth but little if it does not make a mark, however small, on the great national escutcheon, to be scanned by future generations.
 Few hope for war, and the day will come when there will be no wars, but it is not coming through the efforts of those who are for peace at any price, or the ones who are yelling to admit they are mentally and physic- ally inferior.
 The great minds of the country of today are for preparedness" both spiritually and physically--we are all for peace, but not for the kind that Pontus Pilate so carefully washed his hands of.
 The average common school boy finds his physical level in mighty short time after he starts in at school. Nations today are doing the same thing.
 America is an amalgamation of na- tions, with broader views, broader confines and broader men; and the great slogan should be:
 "We Want MEN,"
 The organization of the local corps is a small affair, but it is one of the things that brings about the effective ness of the nation.
 1.-THE UNITED STATES WANTS MEN"-the kind that Belgium and Germany had at Liege-not only mor- ally, but physically.
 No mother that ever breathed ever raised son, but that she did not hope and thoroughly believe was soldier, militant or otherwise, and one that would be a man among men under all circumstances.
 Organization, discipline and man or woman's duty should be taught in all schools.
 A cadet corps in the Normal would be an aid to that school and credit to Flagstaff.
