"Oh, pshaw," Ted said: "you make

is merely meanness and bilious at

Mrs. Jacob Hamblin of st. Jones

as "Ham."
Skating is quite the fad these days.
Saturday a crowd from the Normal

Thursday of last week Mr.. Rosen-

very entertaining and instructive lee
ture on natural bridges. Several pho
tographs of various bridges were
shown, including some taken from the
famous Rainbow Bridge in southeast

is the largest in the world and has
been discovered but few years ago.
Other pictures and specimens taken
from the bridge near Pine, Arizona,
were also shown. Mr.. Rosenberg
SENS to understand considerable about
natural bridges in general and the
fact that he has visited some makes
him all the more interesting to hear
on this subject. Friday morning he
entertained with vocal selections ac-
companied by Miss Jensen from town,
thus showing that his talents do not
all run in one direction. His selec-
tions were all taken from modern
American classical composers, such as
Carrie Jacobs Bond, Cadman, and
others. They were all well rendered
and thoroughly enjoyed by the audi

MUCH LOCAL INTEREST IN
TOM CAMPBELL'S BIG FIGHT

There is a great interest taken
among the common voters in the fight
Tom Campbell is making to secure the
office the voters gave him last No
vember.
Subscriptions of dollar or less are
coming into the Campbell defense
fund from all quarters among those
who are not able to put up much but
who are willing to do their small por-
ton in helping him out with his fight
Many a dollar is being raised among
that element of people, regardless of
the fact of their having voted for him
or not. The people are confident that
Campbell was honestly elected and
they do not believe that any monied
interest should be allowed to defeat
him on account of lack of funds.
1t is not political proposition with
the people at this time, but merely
question as to whether or not the man
who received the most votes should
be declared elected. The secretary of
state seems to have the idea that the
laws of Arizona are only for the pro-
lection of democratic politicians, and
it is not necessary to issue a certif-
cate of election when a republican
happened to be elected, even though
the official count says he has received
the highest number of votes. The at
torney general rather agrees with the
idea and is backing up the PROPOSE
ton; the people of the state are pay
ing both Of them good salaries. Some
people are wondering whether they
are being paid merely because they
are democrats or for complying with
the laws of the state.
The people wanted Campbell for
governor and they voted for him; the
people now feel regardless of politics
that Campbell should be seated, and
if few politicians can beat him out
Of it; a recall Of Governor Hunt, Sc
cretary Osborn and Attorney General
Jones would sweep the state.
That democrat can not be permit
ted to vote for his choice, is deeply
grounded in their ideas Of how to do
things, but the people generally seem
to have as deeply grounded idea that
they have the right to vote for who
ever they please. While the laws of
the state were built, made and passed
for the purpose Of maintaining dem
ocratic administration regardless Of
all other considerations, the people
have right to vote as they please
and not be thrown in Jail for it.
The attempt to oust Campbell out Of
hand, before a democratic county
judge, failed; it was so raw that the
judge felt that he had some reputa-
tion to sustain; he upheld the law,

Friday night the May seniors enter
tertained the Christmas seniors with
a dance in the Dining Hall. All the
tables were moved outside and every
thing made as comfortable and con-
venient as possible for the large and
jolly crowd which attended. The
crowd was not too large to be distaste-
full and those present declared that il
was the best dance yet held this sea-
son. Delicious punch served by two
young ladies decorated in class colors
was served to merry reveliers when
ever they felt thirsty.
Saturday night DR.. and Mrs Blome
entertained the Christmas graduates
as is their custom by fine reception.
The crowd was of course select and so
exactly what happened we are unable
to give. However, the host and host
ess' regulations as entertainers is
proof enough that the affair was a
good one. There were fifty-six guests
present according to report.
Sunday night, December 18th, the
semi-annual Baccalaureate address
was delivered in the Normal school
auditorium by DR.. Blome. AS usual he
selected a biblical text. "Where there
is no vision, the people perish" and
this text was actually treated. The
address itself occupied but about a
half hours time and was very inter
esting and instructive. The one great
thing about DR.. Blome's lecture, which
seems great to his students at least,
is the fact that he does not lecture.
He simply has plain heart to heart
talk with you using terms any one
can understand and talks exactly as
though he were in the class room.
The musical part of the program
under the direction of Miss Gardner
was also very excellent. The entire
program with the exception of the
beautiful graduation gowns on the
sixteen "sweet girl graduates" and
the black suit enveloping the single
boy of the class, follows:

di. .....

though the law was never intended to
uphold republican.
1t is true, the law nowadays says
the people have a right to elect
republican governor, but at the same
time there is a mention of the fact
that the man who gets the most votes
has a right to at least suggest the
fact to the secretary of state.

According to the police, Ferrara con-
