He moved up to the city

He moved up to the city
When he'd made his little pile;
Built house and had garden,
Dressed his girls in the city style;
He read the city papers
And he ate the city food;
His wife joined half dozen clubs,
His boy became dude,
But he left his religion in the country.
He took dab in politics..
The city kind, Of course;
He bought a high-powered auto,
It was faster than his horse;
He had a box at opera
And a lot Of gilt-edged stock;
Built bank right in the center
Of the city's finest block;
But he left his religion in the country.
The church just round the corner
Was the other brand than his;
So he visited the movies
Or spent Sunday at his "biz."
He knocked the city preachers
And he laughed at Sunday laws,
While his boy went to the mischief
And his girls were lost-because
He hal left his religion in the country.
And when he took his journey
To the place where all men stand,
He walked up to the Golden Gate
AS though he owned the land.
II know you're from the city,"
Said st. Peter with sigh;
"And I'm sorry / must tell you
This is once you can't get by,
For you've left your religion in the
country"

In by far the heaviest vote ever cast stein has been reelected mayor over Frank Woods, and J. A. R. Irvine and C. W. Barnett have been elected to the city commission. The total vote was 5627, of the total registered vote of 7O47. The number not voting most exactly equaled the supplemental reg istration.

Irvine led the commits sion ticket, more than maintaining his lead at the primary which had been something of surprise as he was an avowed anti administration candidate. The figures of yesterday place him at the head of all the candidates.
 There wes no surprise in the results in any of the precincts. Corpstein carried by a small majority the fourth, which he had lost at the primary by still smaller one. Woods majority in his own precinct. the fifth was reduced. These two results may be attributed to the supplemental registration. Woods gained in the third precinct and fell behind in the third.
 His campaign was remarkable one, conducted without an organization and with a small campaign fund while the opposition was we'll organized and well supplied with funds.
 The voting began. early, under the time schedule, almost before daylight. It was rather consistent throughout the day in the larger precicts. The woman vote was heavy and is supposed to have been fairly equally divided be- tween the candidates for mayor.
 As usual in Phoenix elections there was little bitterness at the polls In spite of the caloric campaign in which charges had been hurled back ana forth between the supporters or the rival candidates for mayor. It was evident soon after the count began that the result would be close but by o'clock Corpstein was shown to have a lead that could not be over

 SHOT BY YOUTH
Special to The Republican,

PRESCOTT. April Bud Stephens, son of Joe Stephens, prominent ranch CT of this vicinity shot and instantly killed Robert Miller, ranch hand, in To- cal clothing store this afternoon. Mill CT was just leaving store where he had purchased a suit of clothes when Stephens entered. Without a word of warning Stephens whipped out a re- volver and emptied six shots into Mill CTS body. He then placed one more shell in the gun and shot the prostrate man in the back of the neck.
 The trouble was over Mrs. Stephens, mother of the boy who did the shoot ing and was a continuation of domestic trouble Miller a bout a year ago worked for Stephens at Nalinda Rancho in Williamson Valley, one of the large cattle ranches of the country. Sunday and Monday the two Stephens were looking. for the slain man and the latter was warned by friends to leave town. It is thought that he was preparing to take their advice when he encountered the man who killed him. Millers body was filled with holes, all of the shots taking effect. It is ex- pected that sensational testimony will develop at the coroner's inquest which takes place at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

SH|PBU|LDERS ARE ASKED WHY OUTPUT
 |S BELOW NORMAL
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, April 2.-American ship builders were called upon to- night to explain why their output for March fell behind schedule.
 Chairman Hurley of the shipping board and General Manager Piez of the Emergency Fleet Corporation tele- graphed heads of all the yards in the United States saying they were keenly disappointed in the tonnage delivered and placing the responsibil- ity of turning out ships squarely on the men in control of actual building operations.
 Keynote of present situation is manage-leadership, the telegram said. Money, material and men have been supplied without stint by the nation. The American people want ships, not excuses"
 Suggestions were requested and the officials said they wanted to know if the fault lay with the Emergency Fleet corporation.
 Please don't over-estimate,' the telegram urged, after asking for the prospects during April. It was said that the March estimate of 197, ,07J tons was made on the promises of ship builders, who delivered only l 166,700 tons.
 In discussing the telegram the chairman said it was his intention to find out exactly where the fault lay.
 Perhaps it may lie with repre- sentatives of the fleet corporation who are cooperating with the build- ers,' he said. If so, we want tc know it and promise to correct it.
 Every man engaged in building ships ought to keep in mind all the time that he is working to back ur t the boys over there and that it is 1 up to the ship builder and shiI worker to feed those boys who art 1 giving their all in this war. If wt all could get that idea, there would be no loss of production at any | time
