Mrs. Angela Hammer, formerly with
the Casa Grande Dispatch, is the can
didate for representative.
Another bombshell was thrown into
the arena in Casa Grande on Monday
morning last when t. s.. Rush, until
last week editor and manager of the
Southwestern Stockman-Farmer, put
out a letter over his own signature
denouncing the Golfer Machine, and
among many things the following is
an exact excerpt from his letter:
Fred T. Golfer has shown himself
politician worthy the steel He fur
nished the capital to purchase and
publish the Peoria Enterprise and the
Casa Grande Dispatch. one and all
a Golfer political organ. Every last
man on these papers is paid hench-
man. Golfers one ambition is to be
governor, and he believes that he can
best accomplish this and secure the
prize by riding in on the coat-tail of
Hunt and the l. w. w. creed"
The Democrats in Casa Grande are
completely at sea and will, in our
opinion, elect Osborn to run for gov
ernor.

MADDOX To RUN
FOR CONGRESSMAN
AGAINST HAYDEN

PHOENIX, Sept. 6-Lieut. Thomas
Maddox, who has been i'll France
since May, will be the Republican
nominee for congress this fall, op-
posing Carl Hayden, who has rep
resented the state in the house OF
representatives since statehood.
At the meeting of the Republican
State Committee held at Douglas July
8, Lieutenant Maddox was unani-
mously endorsed for congress. An
drew Baumert, Jr., secretary of the
state committee, was requested to
cable for his consent. Mr. Baumert
has just received cablegram from
Lieutenant Maddox consenting to
make the race.
Lieutenant Maddox is one of the
was chairman of the Republican State
committee in 1916, conducting the
Campbell campaign. He made a splen-
did record as a member of the first
state legislature from Coconino coun-
ty. He volunteered last February,
trained at American University, was
commissioned first lieutenant, and
sailed for France in May.
Mr.. Maddock's home is in Williams.
Mrs. Maddox and their four children
are living in Phoenix until the war
is over and Mr.. Maddox returns.
A number of prominent Democrats
in the state are openly supporting Mr..
MaddockS because of his war views
and his splendid qualifications. He
has won high reputation as a man
of action.

BAD NEWS FOR
KAISER COMING
FROM THIS CAMP

The war news from the western
front these days is bad news for the
German people. Quotations from
German newspapers portray the
gloom that hangs over the people in
the large cities. That the people in
the small towns and country are
equally depressed is not to be doubt
ed.
The Liberty Loan bond buyers of
the preceding loans have their share
in the success of the entente allies
They furnished the sinews of war
not only to fight the U-boats and to
build ships, not only to raise, equip
and send our soldiers over, not only
to supply them and our allies with
food and munitions, but more than
$4,000, 100000 of their money has been
loaned to our allies so that they may
prosecute the war with vigor and
strength.
tunity to send the Germans some
more bad news. The Germans have
great respect for money; they know
it's vital value in waging war. They
know, too, that the support of the
American people give a government
loan measure largely the support they
give the government, the moral as
well as the financial support they
give their armies in the field.
A tremendous subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be as dis
tressing to the German people as a
defeat for them on the battlefield, and
it will mean as much. 1t spells their
defeat; it. breaks their morale; it
means power to their enemies. A
subscription to the loan is a contribu-
tion to German defeat and American
victory.

SOME Of THINGS
YOUR BOND DOES

If you buy 500 bond of the Fourth
Liberty Loan you are lending the
United States Government enough
money to feed a soldier in France a
little more than seven months. Or
you have furnished enough money to
give him complete outfit of winter
and summer clothing, including shoes
and stockings, and slicker and over
coat and blankets, with enough left
over to arm him with good revolver
You have done that much to beat back
the Hun.
1t takes $35 more to arm him with a
rifle with a bayonet on it, and if you
buy second 800 bond you furnish
him this rifle and 1000 cartridges for
it; and there will still be enough of
your money left to purchase a good
sized bomb to throw in a dugout, or
demolish machine gun together with
the Huns operating it.

DEMOCRATIC Club PROVE BOOMERANG

Merry hell has broken loose in the
so-called Democratic Club of Casa
Grande. 1t seems that after having
organized as a regular Democratic
club, the chairman and secretary
turned it into a full-fledged Golfer
club, and is now sending out 1itera-
ture under the name of the Casa
Grande Democratic Club boosting the
Golfer candidates, Golfer for governor,
Mrs. Angela Hammer for representa-
tive from Pinal county and G. Blaine
Hollinger for justice of the peace of
the Casa Grande precinct. The sub
stantial Democrats of the valley have
decided that their dollars shall not be
spent in the interest of Golfer candi-
dates, consequently there was no one
present at their meeting held on last
Monday night at the Casa Grande
Dispatch office. Fred Goodrich of the

OVER $4,000
FROM one CAR Of
SILVER KING ORE

Returns from one car Of ore from
Silver King, received this week, ran
over $4,000 for 49 tons of ore. or an
average of 1904 a ton. This is the
same average that has been maintained
in the dozen or SO cars Of ore that
have been shipped from the mine.
With the starting of the new mill,
Silver King looms bigger than ever.
There are at least 1000 tons of ore
on the dump that will average $25
ton net to the company, and then
there appears to be an unlimited
amount of the rich ore on the 400 level
The raise in. this body of ore is now
up. AZ feet, and all in rich ore. A
prominent New York broker and min
ing man, who looked over the property
recently, said he could see at least a
quarter of million dollars worth OF
ore

Rumors Of second strike Of high
grade ore on the 400 level to the
northeast of the rich ore body opened
during the summer could not be con-
frmed as the Copper Camp went to
press, but it is understood that the
showing in the drift to the northeast
is most satisfactory, and that indica-
tions are not lacking of another rich

ALOHA To. RAYITES
(Letter received by Rick.)
Honolulu, Hawaii,
August 16, 1918.
My Dear Mr.. Rickerson:


My Dear Mr. RickersOn:
Your letter of July %, enclosing
the dollar bill for smokes, duly re-
ceivcd, and it is with pleasure | thank
you foI both.
Words cannot express my gratitude
to the good women of Ray for their
consideration of our comforts, and the
point to be most appreciated, the
sending of cash with which to buy
tobacco, since tobacco is difficult to
obtain at home. 1t is little proofs of
sincerity like this that makes boys
away from home and friends feel
that they are thought of and loved.
l will be grateful to you if you will
express my personal thanks to Mrs
Smith and assure her of the great
comfort her thoughtfulness and
kindness means to us all. J
Ny Aloha to my good friends in
Ray and to those who are assisting
so sincerely to cheer up their boys
abroad
With all good wishes for your
health and success, and again thank
ing you, l am, very sincerely,

LAST SURVIVOR DIES.
Rev. A. S. W. Young Climbed Mont
Blanc Without Guide.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 21.-Rev. A. S. w.
Young, who has just died at his home on
the Thames. was the last survivor Of three
brothers who won the attention Of the
world in 1866 by making the first ascent Of
Mont Blanc without a guide. On their
return journey they fell 1000 feet over a
precipice, one of them being killed, but the
two others escaping practically unhurt.
The three brothers Young. athletes and
experienced mountaineers, announced their
intention of climbing Mont Blanc at the
most dangerous season of the year. All
endeavors to dssuade them failed, and in
view Of the great danger of the enterprise
the main streets of Chamonix were
thronged with spectators and telescopes
Toward IL o'clock the three brothers
were discerned looking like pyg1nies far
up on the loftiest terrace Of the Grand
Plateau, climbing with remarkable vigor.
were lost to view for an hour, when they
reappeared and were seen standing to-
gether on the extreme summit OF Mount
Blanc. They remained there for few
minutes and then commenced the descent
Suddenly all three vanished and an in
slant later they appeared 1000 feet below.
One Of the trio had slipped on the edge
Of a precipice. and the brothers, being
roped together, were shot down an
almost perpendicular slope of ice to
point where it joined the border of the
upper glacier. Horror-stricken, the
watchers below presently saw two of
the men rise to their feet, and for two
and a half hours they bent over the
PROSTATE form of the third, who seemed
inert.
Then the two, one walking with great
difficulty, began tho laborious descent
leaving the Hfeless body Of their broth

the Corridor" and they did not reach a
in the morning. A rescue party from
Chamonix afterward recovered the body
Of the brother, whose neck had been
broken by his fall.

LONDON, March 3O-The Chicago and
American grain trade will take more than
a passing interest in a vast new trans
Russian canal project which Germany
formulated before the ink on the peace
treaty with the bolsheviki was dry. 1t
consists of s500.O00,00O scheme to con-
struct ship canal connecting the Baltic
with the Black sea- The object is to make
Germany Independent of the. Dardanelles
for the water transport Of grain from
Odessa, petroleum from Batum and other
agricultural and mineral wealth of which
the kaiser's people are now planning to
despoil Russia on a gigantic scale.
The scheme, however, is not original
with Germany. In 1914, a few months
before the war, the cars government
had completed the engineering and fnan-
cial plans for building the canal The
canal will run from the Gulf of Riga on
the Baltic to the Gulf of Odessa at Kher-
son on the Black sea. The total length
will be about 1000 miles. Grain vessels
from Odessa, by way of the Black sea
and the Dardanelles, must now travel
4,7O0 miles to reach Hamburg.
Hitherto so per cent of Russia's g1-
gantic grain export has been sent through
the Dardanelles. The Riga-Kherson canal
is designed to divert that entire traffic
to Germany's new free harbor' of Riga
