BOOSTS FOR SHERIFF PENTONY

The HOpklntOn Leader or last week
contained the following item concern
ing Sheriff John J. Pentony, who is
in the race for second term. -. J.
Pentony uses the Leader this week
for a modest announcement Of his
candidacy for a second term as shcr-
iff. Mr.. Pentony has host of repuo-
lican friends in this section Of the
county who make no disguise of their
intention to vote for him. There is no
dispute as to his efficiency and uni
form courtesy as an officer, nor as to
his inoffensiveness as politician.
These characteristics bring him
friends regardless of the partisan
lines, and it is freely predicted that
John is certain to succeed himself
for second term. This may be ven-
tured without any disparagement
whatever as to his competitor for the
election. But if efficiency in office is
entitled to a reward. then Sheriff Pen
tony is entitled to a second term, both
by courtesy and service"

DEMOCRATS IN
 SHORT SESSION

In striking contrast to the overflow meeting held by the republican state central committee at the state house yesterday noon, the meeting of the handful of members of the democratic state central committee, made it ap- pear that there was a decided lack of interest in that party's affairs.
 Shortly after noon, five or six demo- crats gathered in the chamber of the lower house, and were called to order by c. c. Thompson, who immediately entertained a motion to adjourn until this noon. The motion passed the committee adjourned until this noon, when it is probable that the same pro- cedure will be gone through with.
 According to plans outlined by Sec retary Thompson the committee will meet again on Thursday, when the democratic politicians have it figured out that the body will have a legal status.
 The law which provides for the meetings of the central committees is conflicting. It stipulates that the county central committee shall meet and select the members of the state central committee a day after the state central committee is to meet
 Harry Johnson, who was a member of the democratic legislature which framed the law, was present at the meeting yesterday. He bore the brunt of good natured chaff thrown at him in regard to the law. steadfastly main taining that he had nothing to do with it, but that Fred Colter, who was also present, was entirely to blame.

 Miss Todd smiled a trifle bitterly when she added:
 'I campaigned in the east in those bitter fights of 1915 in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jer- sey. where the illiterate and the vicious defeated us by staggering majorities. After those terrible struggles we turned to President Wilson for his aid. We thought he would see what we saw that the state by state method was impossible. We were not asking much merely that suffrage be voted on and referred to the picked legislatures of every state in the union. 1 am going to tell at my meeting here in Phoenix of my own meetings with President Wilson.
