Assured of Victory

The democratic county candi- dates came in to Holbrook yester- day afternoon from the southern part of the county, where they had been conducting a strenuous campaign for ten days. Last night they went to Woodruff where they held a meeting, with a dance afterwards. Tonight they go to St. Joseph and will be in HoIbrook tomorrow night. A meeting will be held in the Pastime theater here.
 Every person who made the trip is enthusiastic oyer the re- ception accorded the candidates in the different localities visited, and each is satisfied that the voters will return a handsome majority for the entire demo- cratic ticket at the polls next Tuesday. So far as the county ticket is concerned there is but little doubt that the democrats will elect every candidate on 1t.
 This ticket, taken as whole, is far better than the republican ticket, and the voter can not go far wrong by putting a cross after every person on it. The democratic ticket is printed in the left hand column on the bal lot. If you are in doubt how to mark your ballot. just start at the top of the column and place a cross after the name of every person whose name appears in the column, from top to bottom. and let 1t go at that.

Notice to Parents and Teachers
 Owing to the number of acci- dents to pupils caused by the use of the swing and slide apparatus on the school grounds, it has been decided to discontinue the use of the swings and slides for the present.
 If it is found later, that the apparatus can be arranged diff ferently so that there will be less likelihood of accidents re- sulting from it's use, this may be done. For the present, the par ents and teachers are asked to aid us in preventing further acci- dents by instructing the children to refrain from using the play device in it's present condition.

The Next President

Who will receive a majority of the votes for president next Tuesday is a difficult thing to de eide at this time. We do not be- lieve that even a good guess can be made until after the ballots are counted, There is but one question to be decided by the voters, as we view it. That ques- tion is Has Wilson made good?'
 If a majority of the voters think the president has made good, he will be reelected. If majority think that the presi- dent has not made good, MT. Hughes will be our next presi, dent.

New Business Firm

In another column of this paper appears the display advertise ment of a new firm which has just opened for business in Hol- brook.

A Blanket Size Ballot

The ballot that will be used by
 the voters of Arizona in the
 election next Tuesday is a blanket
 size affair. While it is large
 and unwieldy, and will require
 some little time to mark, it is
 simple enough to vote. The
 main thing is for each voter to allow himself or herself sufficient time in which to mark the ballot carefully.
 In order to vote a straight party ticket it is only necessary for the voter to mark a cross in the large square at the head of the ticket favored. However, such a cross will not count a vote for any candidate for justice of the supreme court, or for mem- Der of the state tax commission. To vote for candidates for these positions it is necessary to place a cross after the name of the candidate favored for each of these positions. These names will be found immediately above the various party tickets.
 The News does not believe that many people in this county will vote straight party ticket. And we believe that this is well. Old party lines have been eradicated by the passage of time, and party designations mean but little. It is the character and fitness of the men and women who are seeking the office that should determine the voters choice when the ballot is marked. Every voter has an idea which one of the several candi- dates for the office they seek in state and county is best fitted for the office. He or she can make no grievous mistake in following this standard of selec- tion. By so doing it is practically certain that the best people will be chosen for the offices.
 Go to the polls early and have your minds made up as to the candidates you expect to vote for. When you enter the voting booth place a cross after the name of each person you favor, beginning at the top of the bal lot. A few moments is all that is required. and you will not only have done your duty as a citizen, but you may rest assured that you have selected the best people for the offices.

Arizona's Next Gouernor

Notwithstanding the fact that each of the state chairmen is claiming a big majority for his party's candidate for governor next Tuesday, the fact remains that neither the election of Gov ernor Hunt, the democratic nom- inee, nor of Tom Campbell, the republican nominee, is a certain ty. The race is anybody's at this time and it will be close until the polls close Tuesday evening.
 Campbell has been gaining during the last few weeks, and he has a good chance of election. On the other hand, Governor Hunts machine is working nicely and his supporters are claiming his reelection by a safe majority.
 Outside of partianshlpcman compared to man-The News be- lieves that Campbell is the better fitted for the high office of chief executive. He is the bigger of the two mentally as well as physically and if these quail ties count for anything he will be elected governor.

Vote for PdulseH and Freeman

A vote for two democratic can didates for county supervisor next Tuesday is a vote for an efficient, economical and busi- ness-like administration of county affairs for the next two years. R. c. Creswell, the holdover member of the board, is a man of recognized integrity and busi- ness ability, and he should be supported in his efforts to give the county a business admins tration by the election of the best men available.
 The best men available, and there are no better men in the county. are J. c. Paulsell and John Freeman. These men possess high character, strict integrity and splendid business ability. Their election will place the county's business affairs in the hands of a board of supervi- sors against which no legitimate criticism can be made.
 Vote next Tuesday for Paulsell and Freeman, and thereby vote for safe and sane administra- ton of county affairs.

Governor Joseph H. KibbeY will defeat Henry Ashurst for the United States Senate and l look for Charles Evans Hughes to carry Arizona" said Allan B. Jaynes, Republican National Committeeman, in a statement issued today. "Ashurst has been slipping rapidly for the past two weeks and Governor Kibbey has made tremendous gains. The great silent vote of the state will be for Kibbey. He has the confidence of all classes, he is recognized as senatorial timber, and the great masses of voters know that he will do big things for Arizona at Washington He will get tremendous ma jority in Maricopa County where 27 percent of the vote of the  state will be boiled, and I expect to see him carry Cochise and other counties rated as strongly Democratic.
 ''The election of Tom Camp bell is now being conceded by Democrats everywhere in the state and I expect to see him carry through most of the state ticket.
 Wilson only received 316 ma- jority over Roosevelt and Taft in Arizona in 1912. The voters of the state are independent and will show their independence on election day."

Yuma, Arizona, November 2.
 Since Tom Campbell's visit to this county republicans are claim ing the county for him. He made great impression here, Yuma county is normally about 300 democrats but republicans expect to overcome this majority. Governor Kibbey's familiarity with irrigation makes him a popular candidate with Yuma valley farmers and many demo- crats will vote for him. Wilson will probably carry the county by a small margin.

Tom Campbell is going over and going strong" said Thos. Maddock, Republican State Chairman, in a statement issued on the eve of election, This ma jority depending on the extent to which the vote comes out but it will run around 5000. The reason for this is that the inde- pendent voters of the state re- cognize that five years tenure of office is enough. and that the time has come for change. By his clean campaign, Tom Camp bell has won the confidence of the electorate and convinced them of his courage and inde- pendence. Now that Tom Camp bell is safe, he should be given support in the capital building. The Republicans have nominat- ed splendid men for the other state offices and they are deserY- ing of the support of the intelli- gent citizenship of this state. If the latter come out and vote as they should, the victory will be complete.
 ''I predict the election of Gov ernor Kibbey as United States Senator by a majority equal to that of Tom Campbell. Arizona needs more than an orator in the United States senate where the big men have always been the workers and thinkers rather than the takers.
