Meeting ofCattlemen
\ Held in Tucson
Annual @'Round-Up' of the
Southwestern Arizona
StOckmen Saturday

The Southwestern Arizona Cat
tie Growers Association met in
annual convention in Tucson last
Saturday where they were enter
tanned by the Chamber of Com
merce:
The cattlemen were received at
the opening of their meeting by
President L. H Hofmeister of the
Chamber, followed by President
J. c. Kinney of the Association.
Mr.. Kinney advocated meeting
with the sheepmen and farmers in
the work mapped out for conserra-
ton and preparedness.
Among the important reasons for
increased prices that he gave were
the development of demand for fin
ished meats through Improvement
Ill packing house products, the
slicing up of big range tracts into
small farms and the rapid increase
in population and demand
He said: Our exports of fresh
meats and canned meats declined
100, 10000 pounds from ,1915 to
1916 so that twill be seen that the
war alone has not caused the high
prices.
Cattle increased from 1910 to
1914; rang cattle decreased from
Al, 10000 pounds to 35.155, 900
pounds. Since then cattle have
increased to 40, 500, 600. They have
nearly doubled in value in seven
years, This indicates that rapid
increase in the number does not
occur"

the Papago Indian reservation, out

Curtis Precinct May
Be Thrown Out
Election Officials Alleged to
Have Permitted Irreg-
ularities in Voting

Curtis precinct, in this county,
seventeen miles southeast of Benz
son, is likely to have determining
effect upon the issue of the COVER
norship contest. Attorneys repre-
senting Acting Governor Campbell, F,
after making inquiries into the vot-
ing methods of the precinct at the
late election, determined to include
the precinct among those to be as
sailed as irregular. It is claimed as
one of the il1egalities that during
the election there, some of the in
huential voters were present In the
room where the voting was pro-
ceeding and unduly influenced the
voters III favor of Hunt The pre-
cinct returned "a votes for Hunt
and one for Campbell
Several witnesses were subpenaed
to appear III Phoenix in connection
with the case and left for that city.
Witnesses were examined by the
contestee before Judge Stanford in
an attempt to prove the alleged ir-
regularities which occurred in the
precint during the last election.
Attorneys for the contestee at
tempted to prove that Bishop Cur
tbs went into the booths with voters
and assisted them in marking their
ballots; that there were no parti-
tions used for booths and that va
rious other forms of irregularities
existed.
The Phoenix Gazette has the fol-
lowing in regard to the case:
John Christensen was one of
the most unwilling witnesses that
has taken the stand since the con-
test started. He was judge of the
election board at Curtis, and claim
ed to have conducted affair and i'm
partial election in that precinct.
The witness remembered very dis
tinctly that Curtis had not entered
the booths with other voters, that

The School Contests

Benson High School did we'll
in the state competition at Tucson
last week, although five points be-
hind the winner. Benson was but
one point behind Phoenix High
School, with it's attendance of over
a thousand to pick from, which is
not a bad record for one of the
youngest schools in the state.
There we're 137 actual competi-
tors from about thirty schools, and
no doubt there were good athletics
in all of them.
Benson furnished the all-around
state champion in Will Etz. Be-
sides securing four gold medals for
highest place in four events, he re-
ceived a gold medal for breaking
the state record (his OWN in the
shot put and a beautifully finished
and engraved loving cup of Arizona
copper, presented by Monty Mans
field of Tucson, as being all-around
champion a$helete of the state.
Baudelio Martinez received a sill
yer medal for taking second place
in the shot put.
So Benson more than held its own
against such cities as Bisbee, Doug
las, Globe and others of like size.

New Jersey a battle-ground
New Jersey Is apt to be the scene
of the first big fight, for the matter
will be brought before the legisla-
ture Immediately after it assemblies.
The battle will be forced early in
New York, also.
There is to be held in New York
in the middle of January a big rally
on temperance, in which at least
three societies will join. The place is
Protestant church, in Fifth Avenue,
and one of the speakers is to be
Father J. J. Curran, of Wilkes
Barre. Catholic and Protestant tenn
perance societies are working in
harmony. Episcopal. Presbyterian,
Methodist, Disciples and Congrega-
tional societies are taking foremost
parts.
Since the passage of the measure
by the House the temperance socie-
ties of several of the religious bodies
have been swamped by applications
from ministers who want to give up
their churches and enter the fields in
the doubtful states.
The Episcopal society reports that
the unusual proportion of 98 per
cent. of ministers conferred with,
pleOSeu immaculate aCtlNlty III iilSlt
own churches and cities.
The weapon to be employed by
virtually all of the societies is the
cartoon. There will be addresses in
great numbers, but the colored pic
ture is to be exploited by millions
of copies. New magazines are to be
established to carry these cartoons,
and vestibules of churches are to be
lined with enlarged and artistic pos
ters.
This method of attack has been
used during the past year and half
and is held to have eXerted far more
force than speeches and mass meet
ings. Some of the best cartoonists in
the country have been retained, and
some of their work is already in
press. Societies that have known
empty treasures now report money
in sight in such sums as may be
needed.
