May Be Five Candidates for President of W. U. A., But Wilbur is Worrying Along With No Opposition for Nice-PreSident

Politics are developing in the Water Users association. just as they are in the state and national circles. although 2S Yet there is nothing definite of plat forms and things where the candidates for project positions are concerned. The desire to hold office has so far Cbsessed only men who would like to be president, and to this date there has heen little or no talk of candidacy for vice president. Unless somebody is advanced for this job before long, F., N. Wilbur of Mesa may be chosen by default"
 In each of the ten council districts a councilman and a member of the Eoard of governors will be selected at the election of April I. The president and ce-president are to be elected at large" So far there has been no proposition or amendment to put on the ballot, so that important document may carry the names of men. not issues.
 still. there was some talk yesterday of splitting up district No ,, that fam Ous and fighting fifth. which is split geographically by the Salt river and often split controversiallN by the va red interests of the north and south side dwellers who vote within its bOunds.
 As in the case of the election of two years ago, the coming contest will show q heavy vote. This is because the offices Of cead and next to head of | the association are in debate. Those who have avOwed their can didacy for president so far are John r. Ormo, incumbent: Frank H. Par ker, William F. kimsey and Sam Bar :ett. And it is whispered that the southside will have it's own candidate in the person of Don c. Rabbit, for mer state representative and now q deputy sheriff
 Wise local politicians believe that th, hevy of opposition candidates will di- vide the vote against the administra tiun. and. because it is not necessary that q majority vote be boiled ac- -cOmplish the return of MT Orme to tn, presidency. Should one candidate re ceive one more vote than any other. ht would bc elected.

Miss Cuff who did dancing act in onstrated that she was not only light on her feet, but could dance with grace and spirit.
 Probably the hit of the first act was the dancing number put on by Miss Maureen Olson and Director Jay Wellington. Miss olson was charm She had mastered a whole volume of difficult steps and thrilled her au- dience time after time with her beau ty and winsome ways. Preemnent among the young men who lent their efforts to the success ful evening were BuIts Doris and Delwyn F. JeWett. Doris had sev- eral roles, and acquitted himself in a professional manner in all. Jewett sang several numbers and puts on some clever pantimine in motion picture act
 Although the play was trifle long, and q little inclined to drag at times Scene after scene followed, time after time the audience was taken to heights of comedy only to be dropped tc the lower plane of sentimental music or clever dancing
 The scenes outside the moving pie ture shop and the pantomine inside, were both well done. Sydney Myers and a wEole crew of high school peo- pie did themselves proud. In the last act, several good musi- cal numbers were included among them being q Want to Go to Tokio, " ana Rosebud" sung by Mrs. Sar- gent. The play will be repeated this evening.

 The stage settings were elaborate.
