.ED HUNTER FOR
 COUNTY SUPERVISOR

MT. Ed Hunter whose an- nouncement for the democratic nomination for the office of Sup ervisor appears in this issue of the News is one of Coconino county's real farmers. MT. Hunter came to Arizona 22 years ago. For a number of years he was engaged in railroad construc- tion having charge of construc- tion gangs first for the Union Pacific and later for the Santa Fe. He was uniformly success ful in handling men and worked nearly every nationality. About ten years ago MT. Hunter assumed the responsibilities of a family man and he soon left rail- road work and bought a ranch six miles west of Williams. He applied such practical methods to the development of his farm that he not only made a good living but was enabled to sell his ranch at several thousand dollars profit MT. Hunter is now developing a homestead on which he lives.
 Ed Hunter has proved by act ual practice that alfalfa can be profitably raised in Coconino county on lands with subirriga- tien. In this work he has done a great service to Arizona Agri- culture. He believes that many Coconino farmers may irrigate enough land to supply the local markets with garden truck and for this purpose he builds tanks for water supply and encour- ages others to do likewise.
 Ed Hunter has decided views on the administration of county affairs. He believes that such administration costs Coconino county too much and hiS platform is economy in the administration of the affairs of Coconino county.
 Mir. Hunter believes the agri- cultural development of the county very necessary and to promote it he would favor all reasonable concessions to home steaders.

CHIEF JUSTICE ROSS
 UP FOR REELECTION

The News is pleased to announce to its readers that Henry D. Ross, Chief Jus tice of the Arizona Supreme Court is candidate for reelection to the Supreme Bench. Chief Justice Ross was in Williams Saturday toMonday renewing old acquaint- ances and forming new. His candidacy will be of especial in terest to people of Coconino county for the reason that he got his start in Yavapai county of which Coconino is part, and his candidacy will be of interest to Williams people, for the req son that in his early manhood Henry Ross taught the Williams school. While northern Arizona claims Henry D. Ross he be- longs to Williams in a peculiar sense. He lived here and was factor in the early development of the town.
 Henry D. Ross adopted the p1 1ofession of law and in 1888 he was elected District Attorney of Yavapai county. His ability and integrity were early recognized and rewarded by positions of trust and responsibility which he was invited to fill. When Ari- zona was admitted to statehood Henry D. Ross was one of the three Justices elected to the Supreme Court. His vote was greater than that of either of the other justices and, as provided by the state constitution, he be- came Chief Justice. In casting lots to fix the tenure of office he drew the short tenn and at the end of two years he must seek reelection. -77
 Henry D. Ross, Chief Justice, stands well with the lawyers of his state. His opinions are rated of the highest order in diction, learning and logic.
 While geographical location should not be used to foist upon the public men of small ability aud less character. yet it will appeal to all that, other things being equal, different sections should be represented in public bodies and since Henry D. Ross belongs to northern Arizona and is a man eminently fit to occupy place on the supreme bench of the state, northern Arizona should be for him to a voter. Henry D. Ross name will appear on tte democratic ticket at the September primary. The law does not except the jud- iciary from a partisan declar- ation, tho in the opinion of the News it should. But in the case of Henry D. Ross, party affilia- tion should be forgotten. He should have the solid vote of northern Arizona in November.

GATEWAY CLUB LAYS
 PLANS FOR BIG EVENT
Will Motor to Lake Mary in Force-Canvass Shows 16 Members Own Cars

After routine business had been disposed of last Friday night by the Gateway Club at its regular meeting, automobiles together with the exceptional ability of Dr. B. A. Miller and Postmaster Williams to start, run and operate their cars with the emergency brakes set, was intro duced as topic of conversation. During the discussion, the fact was developed that there are sixteen members of the club who own motor cars. Someone then proposed that the club give an automobile run to Lake Mary next Sunday. All automobile owners present readily agreed to the proposition, and owners who were not present have since sig nified their willingness to join in, | the run.
 Lake Mary is one of the real attractions of the North in sum- mer. It is well stocked with black bass; it has good bathing facilities, and is also well SUD- piled with boats, including an electric launch. The members of the club are, therefore, look ing forward to having great day at the lake next Sunday.
 The start will be made from the club rooms in the Sultana building, Sunday morning at 7:30. All members of the club and invited guests are requested to be promptly on hand at that hour, as the start. will be made exaetly on time. Lunch will be, provided by members of the club, which will be transported. in an auto truck preceding the cars. Quite a number of Flagstaff peo- pie have signifed their intention rof joining the run at Flagstaff, ! and it is probable that at least twenty cars will participate.
 The Gateway Club car owners are as follows: Dr. P. A. Melick, Hudson; w. M. Hughes, Blu ick; B. J. Johnson, Oakland; F. M. Gold, Buick; L. S. Williams, Studebaker; Kenneth Hughes, Ford; Harry Henderson, Dodge; R. M. Reese, Buick; Ben Pierce, Hupmobile; Geo. w. Matthews, Studebaker; G. B. Kirkpatrick, Hupmobile. It is possible that some member of the club who is the owner of a car has been overlooked in the above list, and if so, he will confer a favor by notifying Secretary John Sweeney.

I. H. CURET0N OF
 LEGISLATIVE CAL|bER

It is very important that our next legislature should be made up of men with a knowledge of the legislative needs of the state and with ability to administer to those needs. Voters of all parties should therefore scrutinize the names which will appear on the primary ballot as candidates for legislative honors with a view to detei ming which candidates have sufficient caliber to fill the positions to which they aspire. Among those names will be that of T. H. Cureton of Williams and an invest igation of his qualifications can not fail to convince an unprejudiced mind that they are exceptional and fit him for legislative career. A progressive republican, MT. Cure ton will have to look to the repub- licans of Coconino county to place his name before the voters of the county, but should he receive the nomination, the voters of Coconino could safely commission him to look after their interests in the leg islature by electing him in November.
 . T. H. Cureton's qualifications
 Coconino county's representative in the lower house of the legisla- ture should be man we'll endowed educationally and with a knowl- edge of the principles of law, that he may hold his own with the best talent>in the house and be able to help in framing the important leg islation which the best interests of the state demand. Such a man is T. H. Cureton. Having completed the four years arts course in the University of Kansas and also the course of law in>that celebrated in- stitution and then taken a post graduate course in Harvard Uni versity, he would be the peer of the best equipped members of the House in the point ot intellectual attachments.
 Arizona is a progressive state which occupies a high moral plane among the galaxy of states forming our nation. Coconino county needs a man in the lower house of the Legislature who will aid in keep ing our state in the van guard, both politically and morally. T. H. Cureton is such a man. He has lived in Williams for a number of years and he has always promoted progressive movements tending to- ward moral uplift.
 MT. Cureton is a resident of Co- conino county in the true sense. He is identified with the material interests of Williams as a property owner and taxpayer. His consid- erable interests are all in Coconino county and he remains in the county to look after them.
 With T. H. Cureton in the legis- lature, Coconino county would have no cause to blush for her rep resentative. He would look after her interests with ability and fidelity.
