ASHURST AND HUNT SHOW NO RESPECT
 FOR SABBATH DAY

Henry Ashurst and George w. P. Hunt paid no attention to the Sabbath day in making their speaking engage ments. Both are holding Sunday meetings. It is understood that they picked this day especially for political meetings because people as rule are not employed on that day and many will come out. Ashurst held meet ing in Bisbee last Sunday. He spoke Sunday at oatman and Ajo. Hunt spoke on Sunday at Chloride and Duncan.
 Both Governor Kibbey and Tom Campbell have consistently refused to schedule any Sunday meetings. They have met friends informally while traveling on Sunday but have held no meetings on that day. They are re- specting the Sabbath while their op- ponents use this day for political meetingA.

MINING MEN SUFFER BECAUSE OF FAILURE
 TO NAME OFFICIAL

The naming of register of the United States Land Office has heen deferred until after election because Senator Ashurst and Carl Hayden do not want to offend the many appli- cants for the office who will be un- successful when an appointment is made.
 As result mine owners. in the state will lose at least $l00,000 on assessment work that might have been saved had they been able to get a register appointed and have their notices for patent issued and printed sixty days before the first of the year. As it is they will have to do the assessment work for another year as the registers final receipt cannot now be issued until after the first of the year.
 Among the candidates for the place are Mulford Winsor, Mrs. Ed. Shaw, Frank Luke, Jim Labin, E. J. Trippek, Scott White and number of others. It is believed that Mulford will be given the place after election.

INDIGNATION OF
 PLAN TO DISFRANCHISE
 TROOPS ON THE BORDER

If Governor Hunt succeeds in hay ing the Arizona militia assigned to the State Fair, they will probably be started out for Phoenix the day be- fore election. This will result in their losing their vote. Several months on the border has converted many of the former Wilson supporters in the re- giment to Hughes and it is believed that the Fair stunt was hit upon to deprive them of the franchise. There is great indignation among the troops over the prospect of being started out for Phoenix so long in advance as they could easily make the capital by leaving Wednesday. Politics is the only excuse that can be offered for sending them earlier.

 "What are those-er-fowls we have at home?"
 Those are poultry, too."
 "Then what are chickens?"
 Those things our next door neigh bor keeps"

NORMAN J. MCKENZIE For State Mine Inspector

Beginning as miner at Leadville
 when he was nineteen, has had twen- ty-seven years of experience as a practical miner. Is typical Weste- erner. Has mined all the way from
 British Columbia to Mexico, but is an old resident of Arizona. Had his ups and downs but no misfortune ever led him to lose confidence in himself or in his fellow men. Unassumingly honest and straightforward and with a prac- tical knowledge of mining in all its branches no more capable man for mine inspector could be suggested. McKenzie's candidacy became popular as soon as he began to travel over the state and it quickly spread alarm
 in the camp of his opponent. Un- scrupulous persons accordingly have tried to ~start something" on McKen- zie, but these efforts speedily fell fiat, for he is a man with a clean record.

 This amendment proposes that the deathpenalty shall be abolished, but provides also that no murderer found guilty in the first degree shall be pardoned except on the discovery of new evidence proving his innocence. It also provides life sentence for all first-degree murderers.

 This amendment would give the proposed commissioner of labor rights such as no official holds in any civil. ized government. He would be en' titled to enter every home and every business office in the state at his owr pleasure and there make such investi gations as he might see fit to under take. It would add a large expense to the taxpayers, the salaries of thu commissioner and his deputy being ! $6S00 per year, with all travelling ex penses, salaries of additional deputie' and such other expenses as he ma! see fit to incur. No such department of state government, with such auto cratic powers, is known.

JOSEPH WHEELER is CHAMPION
TENNIS PLAYER.

Finally, after several days delay,
caused by bad weather and inability OF
the contending players to play, the tennis
tournament, which was started in August
was finished Monday and Joseph Wheeler
became champion of the city by defeating
VIM. Muesing. Altho the result did
not shock many it came as surprise
that he should win three straight games
from Muesing, the scores being 6-2,
6-1, 6-1. It was the general opinion
that the match between the two would
be close and that at least five games
would be necessary to decide the champ
ionship with the outcome doubtful.
However, Muesing took his defeat like a
man and acknowledged Wheeler his
superior.
The semi-fnals were played at different
intervals during the past three weeks.
VIM. Muesing and Patrick Eibner played
five games before the better man won.
The scores were 6-1, Ga, 1-6, 3-6, 6-2,
the first two being taken by Muesing,
the next two by Eibner and the last
again going to Muesing. The match
between Olson and Christoverson went
to the former but only after hard fight
ing. The scores were 6-3, 8-6, 81, and
Ga. Previous to this Amann and
Christoverson had played, and Christie
| verson bested Amann 81, 3-6, 6-3, 60
and 6-1.
In the match between Muesing and
Olson, to see whom of the two would
play Wheeler, Muesing took the first
game 6-3 and dropped the second ST.
The next two he again took 6-3 and 6-1.
| In the consolation matches the scores
thus far are all one-sided. There are two
matches still to be played. James
Dougher is to meet Alois Eibner and the
winner of this match is to play Richard
Olson. The scores between Victor
Berndt and Richard Olson were 1-6
1-6, 0-6 in favor of the latter. Doughe
won from Groebner by scores of 60
3-6, 3-6, 2-6.

CLASSES EEEcf OFFICERS.

With the second week of school came
the electors of the officers Of the different
classes. The first of the many elections
held was held Wednesday morning
when the assembly elected officers who
are to have control of the athletic
doings for the coming school year.
Two ballots were necessary to learn
the high school choice for it's officers,
with the exception of the Secretary who
got majority of votes on the first
ballot. The student thus honored was
Armin Koehler, well-known as speaker
and debater on the High School teams.
The choice is an excellent one for the
Office. On the second ballot Richard
Olson was elected president and Walter
Wiedenmann treasurer. Mr.. Hamlin
will be coach and manager of the Athletic
Association for the coming year.
The first Of the ela.ses to elect
officers were the Seniors and after a
close fight the following were chosen,
president, Armin Koehler; vice presi-
dent, Roy Fenske; Treasurer, Henry
Herzog and Ludwig Hofmeister, secre-
tary.
As many will notice the entire set of
officers are boys, which goes to show that
the boys were evidently in the majority
and thot it proper that the offices should
be held by the masculine sex.
Several days later the Juniors had
their election and the Offices of president
and vice president were also allotted
to two boys, Victor REIN becoming
president and John Woebke, vice presi-
dent. The offices of treasurer and
secretary were given to Helen Berg and
Elizabeth Russell respectively. Alfred
Wiedenmann was elected sergeant-at-
arms.

preparing to take them across tn,
border. Supplies are daily being re
ceived but the method is slow one ant
it will be several weeks before the Mime
sofa boys are fully equipped for actua
service.
1t has been estimated that the cost
OF patrolling the border will amount tt
$20O,000,000 before all the bills are paic
and the guardsmen are returned tostheil
normal status as civilians. 1t has al.
ready cost more than $100,0O0,000 and
a weekly expense of from fifteen to
twenty millions dollars is reported.
Army officers state that this money
was not thrown to the winds. They
say that there has been a certain benefit
derived from the expedition and the
national guard mobilization. One of
the benefits is the lesson in national de-
tense by showing the preparedness or
lack OF preparedness to meet sudden
emergencies In time Of war.
Thirteen regiments were sent home
the first of last week numbering $4,000
and were mustered from service.
They comprised three regiments from
New York, two from New Jersey,
Illinois and Missouri and one each from
Maryland, Oregon, Louisiana, Washing
ton and California. The Yale battery
was ordered to Connecticut where it will
also be mustered out. The greater part
of the regiments were made up of college
students.
Plans for the recruiting force of twenty
nine officers and men recently sent back
from Camp Llano Grande were announc-
ed by Adjutant General F. B. Wood,
last week. Regular work has been
started by the five recruiting squads
that have been at the school Of instruc-
ton at Fort Smelling since arriving from
the south. Stations have been opened
at St. Paul and Minneapolis.
The remaining squads which are each
made up of one commissioned and two
non-commissioned officers and one pri-
vate are now at work in different parts
of the state and will remain until ordered
to move by the headquarters when the
various fields have been exhausted
Lieutenant w. O. Brown is in charge
of the squad that has been ordered to
Duluth and then later will visit others
OF the range towns. Lieutenant E. B.
Cutler and squad are at Anoka and will
work towards Crookston. Captain S.
o. Aubstadt and his men have opened
at Winona and will work up the Missis-
sippi towards the cities. Lieutenant
Donald Mckenzie has charge of the last
squad and is stationed at Faribault.
He will then visit Mortified, Owatonna,
Mankato New Ulm, St. Peter and others
of the central Minnesota towns.
