MERCER HEMPERLY
 FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY

Mercer Hemperly, of Flag staff, is out for the democratic nomination for county attorney. MT Hemperly came to Flagstaff six years ago, and has been en- gagged in the practise of law there since his arrival. He took his preparatory course in law in the University of Louisiana, where he proved a good stu dent. s
 MT. Hemperly puts the things that he wishes to say most, in a words. First of all he is back of the administration in the con- duct of energetic war against Prussian autocracy, and stands ready at all times to do all in his power to back up the presi- dent. He wishes the voters of Coconino county to understand clearly that if he is elected to the office of county attorney, he will enforce all of the state laws without fear or favor. He is democrat by birth and con- viction and has consistently supported the party at all times.

RED CROSS CABARET
 ENTIRE SUCCESS

The streets of Williams pre- sented an animated scene last Saturday evening, as many residents and also many people from out of town were hasten ing to the Sultana Theatre to participate in the Cabaret glv- en for the benefit of the Red Cross Hut. The success of the evening was insured by the interest and attendance of ma ny people from Flagstaff, Red Lake, Grand Canyon, Ash Fork and other communities in this vicinity, who motored to Will Hams for the evening.
 The nights program began with the regular motion picture show after which dancing was enjoyed by those so inclined. Others played the roulette wheel (where only the innocent won), and still others patron ized the booth where the efigy of the Kaiser awaited swatters. The lunch counter was also kept busy, light refreshments of all sorts being served Cat all prices justice prevailing).
 At intervals the floor was cleared and interesting num- bers of the program given. First of these was a clog dance by MT. John Hurley, a poineer nearing eighty years of age. He proved wonder and was showered with coins. Later a patriotic song was sung by Mrs. J. w. Lee, and Mrs. Alice Bar lay and Miss Arza Hughes gave a folk dance, in costume. It had been announced that there would be some cowboy society stunts but evidently the pres ence of so many stiff collars, etc., proved too much for the cowboy hearts, for nothing in this line materialized.
 Dancing continued until the famous wee sma' hours were at hand.
 The committee announces that the sum of $653 was raised for the Canteen Service Funds.
 MT. Hughes and the other promoters of this benefit are to be congratulated upon the big success they achieved.

I, fl. CURETON OUT
 FOR STATE SENATOR

T. H. Cureton, who carefully guarded the rights and inter ests of his constituents at the last legislature, has finally yielded to the urging of hls friends and agreed to enter the race for State Senator. He is now asking for the republican nomination at the primaries, September 10, and ii nominat- ed, will conduct a vigorous campaign for the office before the November election. He says that he likes to see re- publican out for every office, and while he realized that both Hugh Campbell and John Hen messy are strong men and eith- CT will make a good race for office, if nominated, yet he feels that the strong support back of him will enable him to make the contest interesting for whomsoever he may have to oppose him. If nominated and elected, he proposes to do all in his power to see that the rights of small holders are carefully guarded in the senate, as he feels they will have parti- cular need of being guarded at the next session of that body.
