WHAT MR.. WILSON OMITTED:

Tho New York Evening Post, most
loyal supporter Of President Wilson,
presents an arraignment Of his speech
Of acceptance as severe as 1t is just.
1t says; 1--WE find no record here of
his vacillations and short comings in
relation to the European war. He
does not attempt to defend his com.
plaisance towards the labor unions;
he is silent as to his shameful breach
Of faith towards the colored people,
his betrayal Of the party on the tariff
principle, his change Of front on the
Tariff Commission. and other issues.
There Is no hint here of the arrogance
with which, without adequate consul
tatlon with party leaders, he has sin.
gle.handed changed the historic pol
icfes of his party. AS II he has had a
second thought on the matter Of ma.
tional defence, he barely touches up.
on the action Of Congress in the field
Of preparedness He has put his
best foot forward, but he cannot ex.
pect that the numerous blunders. and
disappointments Of his administration
will be forgotten. When one reads
this speech one cannot but regret all
the more that Mr.. Wilson has not liv.
ed up to the promise of four years
ago. Had he but remained true to
the principles he\had SO often avow-
ed, his reelection would now be a
moral certainty Far more than the
criticism Of his adversaries, Mr.. Will
sons own shortcomings and compro-
misses have today put many thousands
Of his former Supporters in a quandary
as to whether in voting for Mr..
Hughes they will not, after all, be
choosing the lesser evil. From this
quandary the Presidents speech, for
all its power, will not release them"

FAIR OFFICERS ELECTED. Next Years Meeting to Be Bigger and
 Better Than Ever.

At the annual stockholders meeting of the Santa Cruz Coun- ty Fair association, held recent ly at Sonoita, the report of the treasurer and outgoing board of directors showed that the 1916 fair had been Succ ess. Not the least satisfactory viewpoint was the financial one Although handicapped by adverse circum stances, the management report ed profit of $500, and as a re- suit the debt incurred for the erection of the buildings and other first year expenses will be reduced one half.
 The directors reported that the movement of the California troops just before the fail. and the rush of business among the merchants of Nogales, had re- duced the attendance somewhat and hampered the sale of tickets. This neceSSitated a rigid eco nomy in all departments. so that the fair was not on as large a scale as it's supporters desired. Nevertheless, it showed a heal thy growth over last year; there were more exhibits, a two days program instead of one, and large attendance.
 After the reports the annual election of directors was held. Some 9 persons were nominat- ed and the following were elect ed by ballot: Harry Saxon, E. R. -Purdum, A. T. Bird, NOgales; w. F. Christma.n, G. $. Bryant, J. s. Carver, Mark Manning. R. T. Fossett. Sonoita; Chas. John son, Clarence Beatty, Chas. Davis, Elgln; w. F. Neil, R. R. McGregor, Gus Weary, Camille; Jesse Gatlin, Jack Price, Pata-
 A vote of thanks was rendered the former officers and especial ly the retiring president. F. T. Rigsby, for his untiring services.
 Immediately following the meeting, the new board of di rectors was organized and the following officers were elected: w. F. Christman, president; Mark Manning, vice president; G. S. Bryant, manager; J: s. Carver, secretary, and w. F. Neil, treasurer.
 The date for the first business meeting of the directors was set for the afternoon of the second Saturday of next January, at which time tentative plans will | be made for next years fair. | The directors hope at that time | to lay the foundation for a much larger and better fair, and for mulate plans to secure the co operation of all progressive and | public spirited citizens of Santa Cruz county in getting all the benefit out of the fair that an institution of that character should be. To that end they in- vite all interested persons to at tend the meeting and give any suggestions they may have.- PataQOEian

aid In the success of thNse meetings
AT the close of the meeting a beautiful

EVENING SESSION
OF High school Thursday Night VIII
Supplant Reception Day.

Instead Of the usual Reception Day
exercises at which time we have been
accustomed to displaying the work OF
the High School students, we made
plans several months ago to hold an
Evening Session with the High School
doing their regular work.
Many of our patrons have never
seen q modern High School working
under the departmental plan, others
have a sort of hazy impression Of
how the work Ia conducted, and some
few perhaps, have definite notions,
but the majority OF them are not ia
miliar with the management and work
done in our High School. The session
will begin at 7:15 at which time we
hope to have 200 visiting patrons seat
ed in the auditorium. Promptly at
7:15 the bells ring and the pupils file
to the auditorium where the usual
opening exercises are held I'm 20
minutes the bells will ring for them
to file to their rooms where regular
class work will be conducted for a
period Of 40 minutes. Every room will
have large card boards announcing
the work In progress In that particu-
lar room. At the end of 40 minutes
the bells will ring and the pupils will
file to their respective class rooms
for another 40 minute period. All
doors will be open to the visitors, and
we not only ask but urgently appeal
to you to come and see the work in
progress. II you are interested IN
German, go to the German room
where the work will be conducted in
that language; II interested in sewing,
go to the sewing room; typewritins,
stenography and other usual High
School activities accordingly.
We hope to make further announce
mentsments In tomorrow's paper

afternoon that we discovered the error

The mystery that now confronts us
is whether the 1--WE" means James

Tuesday I'D the misfortune TO have
his Ford a5fcu- schile hgdly damaged
by some unknown PERSON or persons.
He had been transactlng some bust

he returned for the machine some
time later the auto could not be

awhile he discovered II in front of the
