vantage or disadvantage to any po-

the appointment. 1t is the very per-
sonification of representative govern
ment. 1t gives the people the right to
elect representatives personally known
to them. 1t makes the recall provisions
of the constitution effective as to MEM
bers of the legislature. It gives every
section of the state and of each county
reputable representation. and does not

argument that can be advanced and
successfully maintained against this
! proposed amendment. Read it over

you do not understand, write the sec
retary of the Non Partisan Legislative

representative state legislature, vote

in the present method of electing the

against this amendment. Remember
they always have an axe to grind, and
are interested in the legislature for
their own selfish ends. This amend
ment puts the control of the legislature
in the hands of the people. Your
representatives will be responsible to
you, and you only.
The Non Partisan Legislative league
composed of taxpayers and citizens of
this state, is not interested in the can

to place the merits of this proposed
amendment before the voters of the
state. The enormous expense of our
! legislature prompts this action. Two
hundred sixty three thousand two hum
dred eighty dollars and sixty four
cents for legislation since January,
1912, should make the citizens of this
state interested in it's welfare. Inves-
tigate and find out what it is that is
so radically wrong with this branch of
our state government.

SANTA f TRAIN
CRASHES THROUGH
BRIDGE At NADIA

Only a miracle saved the passengers
and crew of Santa Fe train No. Is,
Los Angeles to Phoenix, from death or
serious injuries when a flood weakened
bridge at NADIA, five miles south of
Hot Springs Junction gave way under
the train last Sunday morning. In
spite of the fact that three of the four
cars in the train were derailed and de-
molished, no one was even seriously
injured.
The engineer, who was running slow
ly on account of danger to the road
bed from heavy rains, felt the bridge
give way under the locomotive, and
threw. on steam hoping to get the train
across before the crash came. The en-
gine cleared the bridge by it's momen-
tum, but the tender baggage car, chair
car and one Pullman were derailed and
almost completely wrecked. The Sec
ond Pullman, which was empty, re-
manned with the rear truck on the
track. Passengers were transferred
around the break Sunday and Monday,
regular traffic being resumed Monday
evening.

URGE CONGRESS
To BUILD ROADS
ON RESERVATIONS

The following special bulletin has
been issued relative to the recent pas
sage by congress of the bill giving fed

bulletin is issued by the Arizona Good
Roads Association and urges immediate
action toward the securing of federal
construction of roads across Indian
reservations:
Congress has passed a Good Roads
bin which will be of great benefit to
Arizona. The measure appropriates
for the whole country s5,OOO,OOO for the
year beginning July l, 1916, and $1O,-
100000 for the following year, adding
$5.OOO.OOO each year for five years in

S"Of this sum Arizona receives for
the first year about $1,000, second
year $14S,OOO, and increasing at the
rate of $4,000 a year so that in 1920
the state will receive $35S,0OO or over
$1,OOO,OOO during the next five years.
"a further clause of the bill pro-
vides for spending large amount in
forest areas. OF. this sum about $780,
600 a year will, it is expected, be avail
able for roads in Arizona. This fund
for roads through and adjacent to
forest reserves is in addition to the
present rs per cent for road and school
purposes.

The executive committee will later
appoint sub committee to take up

tax, at a normal price of copper and in a time of

copper producing industry.

Encourages Leaders.

Kansas City, Nov. 9.-The major
fly Of 3,411 for prohibition in Kansas
City and Jackson county at the cleo
ton on Tuesday has encouraged the
dry advocates so that they are seri-
ously considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
asking for an election within the next
few months on local option.
The agitation for local option had
its start late on Tuesday night, when
a number of leaders in the dry move
ment held an informal conference with
Republican and Democratic politicians
who had rendered assistance to the
drys. While the politicians did not
promise support in such a move, they
did not altogether discourage IT. and
indirectly offered encouragement. pro-
vided any substantial sentiment deyel-
oped.

declare that the war lull in local trade
has been more than offset by Ameri-

seem the least perturbed by the high

ing better bargains than in the old
days. II is no longer the custom TO
palm off sham antiques for real. 1t is
said that people of moderate means
are perfectly content to have things
that look like the more valuable ar
tlcles at a correspOndingly cheap fig

SALVATION ARMY SUPPLIES
SNAKES MICE DIET

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Many strange re-
quests have been made of the Saliva
ton Army but never before has il
been asked to find mice for rattle
snakes.
Lieutenant Colonel Marcussen was
at first much surprised as the result
of the request. It came from a wo-
man-blonde and beautiful-whowalk-
ed into his office:
81 have snakes" she said without
preliminaries.
"You misunderstood me-" severely.
81 mean real snakes. The big ones,
Rattlers.
"They like rats and mice to eat. l
can't catch 'em. The nasty things! l
couldn't bear to touch one. 1t makes
me shudder to think of it.
What want is nice. Four dozen a
week. Perhaps some of the boys or
cripples you are trying to help would
like 70 earn a little money. I will pay
so cents a dozen"
The order is now being regularly
hlied.

Secretary of State Edwin c. Bean.
Discovery Of errors in Official reports
was a factor in reversing the lead
which Hughes had, he said Bean
said returns from 120 Of the PA
towns and wards still to be verified
might further change the result.
The official figures from II OF the
missing districts have been received,
but not tabulated. Secretary Bean,
in announcing the difference Of SO in
favor of Wilson gave no total figures.
The totals upon which the prelimi-
nary statement was based has been
reached. he explained, by adding to
the verified returns newspaper figures
from the districts not heard from Of

We found several errors" said
Secretary Bean. Our clerk in ward
8, Concord, reported the vote Of that
place as Hughes, 225; Wilson. S.
Our knowledge Of local conditions
made US doubt this result. Investi-
CATION showed it should have been

HUGHES LEADING BY 1000
VOTES IN MINNESOTA

st. Paul, Nov. 9.-Returns for pres
ident from 2,518 precincts out Of 1924
In the state give Wilson 1891:
Hughes, 1891. a plurality Of 1000
for Hughes.
The Wilson lead which has been
wiped out, and which he obtained In
the cities, at one time was az much
as 10000. 1t began 20 melt with the
arrival OF returns from the rural dis
tricts and was cut almost steadily by
them. The hope Of the presidents
supporters that the late rural returns
may favor him Is based on the fact
that some OF those which arrived
helped to recover part Of the lost
Wilson ground. although there soon
was a turn in the other direction
again.
Several state officials expressed the
belief that the outcome in this state
would not be known definitely until
the votes cast by the Minnesota
guardsmen at the Mexican border
should be tabulated.
The guardsmen's vote was taken
Tuesday by special commissioners ap-
pointed by Gov. Burnquist, under the
provisions of a law enacted by the
recent special session Of the legisla-
ture 1t is not expected that these
returns will be entered in their prop
er precinct records before next week.
Unofficially it was estimated that the
guardsmen's vote was about $500.

ANALYSIS OF THE VOTE
DOUBTFUL STATES

In the electoral college, made up Of
IS states, there are 531 votes. The
winner must receive 266.
The very latest returns give Wilson
256 votes, distributed among q states.
The same reports concede to Hughes
243 electoral votes, distributed among
II states.
The following states are doubtful
and are not counted for either candi-
date:
California, with IS votes: Mime
sofa. with -; New Hampshire. with
4; New Mexico, with s.
With 256 to his credit, Wilson needs
only 10 votes to win.
In order to win, Hughes must take
both California and Minnesota.
Wilson to win must carry either
California or Minnesota.
