TOM PULLIAM IS A STRONG
 CONTENDER FOR SHERIFF

There are many things other than the mere serving of papers and pre-. serving the peace connected with the office of sheriff which go to make the successful officer. The ability to pre- vent trouble and to know when and where trouble is liable to start; the ability to trace out many myseries of crime, large and small, that come to that legal mill, are few of the du- ties of the office, and the many friends of Tom Pulliam believe that he has all of that ability and has shown it during his previous term in that office some years ago.
 MT. Pulliam has splendid executive ability and has always acquitted him self creditably in whatever position held during his long years of residence in Coconino county. He was given most commendable support for the nomination for the office of sheriff on the Democratic ticket at the primary election, which was fair test of his popularity in all parts of the county.
 In asking the support of the peo- pie, he promises a square deal to the whole people, an honest, conscientious enforcement of the laws and an eco- nomical administration of the affairs of the office.
 Mir. Pulliam's chief occupation at the present time is that of rancher, but he hopes to be able to mix in the duties of the office of sheriff after the first of the year, and his friends freely admit that he is going to be strong contender for that place.

HUN DYNAMITE.

One thousand copies of the volume entitled "Two Thousand Questions and Answers About the War;" indorsed and lauded by George H. Greet, were circulated before the National Secur- ity League got hold of the book, had it carefully examined, and discovered it to be "a masterpiece of German propaganda" The company handling the book then withdrew it from cir culation. The authors name did not appear in the volume. As the exam iner declared, Endorsed by the chair man of the Committee on Public In formation it becomes menace to the American morale, and as no authors name is given, no one is made to ap- pear responsible but the writer of the introduction" (CreeD. Can MT. Greet enlighten the public as to the dispo- sition of the 1000 volumes which were circulated.

The government has fixed the price of wheat, wool and other commodities, but the southern congressman and senators are strenuously against the fixing the price of cotton. Since the southern congressman are in the ma jority, suppose the price will not be fixed, for, as some southern congress man has said: "This is the north's war, anyhow" It seemed to them that it was good to fix prices for the north, but not for the south-that was against "state rights" While the Democrats are attempting to monop- olize all the patriotism in the country, why not claim this as a part of their idea of patriotism?

the name of every American soldier in France, in the name of every Ameri- can mother of those boys, appeal for the support of the country's cause by all men and women without thought of party. Let not political parties spend their time accusing each other of dis loyalty, when both are loyal. Rather, let us endeavor to make certain that every possible efficient instrument in men and material which is available shall be used in winning the war, that efficiency shall replace inefficiency wherever found, and that both the two great political horses which we have shall be harnessed together, fully and freely to share in the pulling of the heavy load, each striving to see which can pull the harder.
 "There will always be political con- tests. This is properly inevitable in this and every other popularly gov erned country. Just as we must keep partisanship out of the war, so should every man demonstrate the fact that it is better to be an Ameri- can than to be Prussian by exercis- ing the privilege of his citizenship. We remember that we are fighting in France today to make certain that men shall forever have the right to govern themselves. Here, where we have that privilege, we propose to ex- ercise it now and always.
 "A fair contest for political power is no less an antiseptic in war times than in peace times. In fact, in war times we require even more than in peace times the most careful scrutiny of the principles and of the candidates which

REPUBLICAN POLICY
 OUTLINED BY HAYS
Speech of Will H. Hays, Republican National Chairman, at Meeting of Indiana Republican Editorial As

eve are living today in an epoch in all the cons of Gods eternity.
 "There has never been anything like it since time began, and there will never be again while time shall last.
 "The world is on fire.
 "There will never be a moment in the lives of any of us when it will be so important that individuality and collectively we direct our thoughts with care and our actions with con- sideration.
 "This country has to save the world.
 "The Republican press is the voice, far-reaching, of that political party constituting in all probability the ma jority of the citizenry of this country.
 "We are Republicans, we are proud of it. The history of the actions of the Republican party is the story of the progress of the nation.
 "A man could not have been more proud to have been Republican in 1861, when the party was born to make men free, nor in 1898, when it gave its best to preserve the liberty of a down-trodden neighboring people, than he is to be Republican today.
 "In this, the greatest of all crises in our history, when the Republican party finds the control of the govern ment in other hands, it still sinks deeper into the soul of the nation and, true to its tradition, becomes the dom- inant war party, insisting upon the right of full participation, pledging ourselves to give the last of our blood and o,,r treas,lre to win the war and to win it now; pledging ourselves for ever against an inconclusive peace and at every moment of faltering on the part of those in power instantly pick ing up the guerdon of battle and cry ing continually: Carry on! Carry on! Carry onp
 "This is the mission of the Repub- lican party at the moment. Think what it means to the country's cause for the minority party to strive con tinually to outdo the majority party in every war activity, and actually lead in it's unqualified support of all war measures.
 "This is our high privilege and duty. It is our business to see that our party runs true to it's tradition, continues steadfast in it's avowed purpose, and functions in it's performance of loyal, efficient national service, requiring it of our own membership and of every one else, Democrat or Republican, in office or out of office, regardless of the office, high or low, and regardless of the individual, big or little.
 "The fact that the Republican party

in Congress has been able to give a more generous war support than the opposition is not recited by Repub- licans in disparagement of the Demo- crats. By tradition, by training, by experience, by aspiration, and by act ual performance, we have been quali- fled to do this. More is properly ex- pected of us by reason of these things, and the fact that we have been true to our consistent record of prepared ness, patriotism and performance, though at times subjected to the most narrow partisan attempts to deter us, does not entitle us to any more credit than that due for the discharge of any recognized duty.
 There is no geography, political or physical, in the patriotism of this country. Democrats and Republicans alike love the flag and are ready to- gether to die for it. 1 attribute to the membership of the Democratic party in this country the same high patriotic motives and loyal hearts which we claim for ourselves.
 We guarantee that our candidates shall be men who are supremely pro- American, believing Tn one flag and one people for this country, who will repudiate every vote not wholly loyal, and denounce any support not wholly patriotic, and who Will give the coun- try's all for the winning of the war and conclusive peace. l hope and trust that the Democratic party will work by the same token. And again l urge that there be. no contest in this country this fall between any individ- uals or any political parties as to any thing that touches the war except that contest-who best can serve, who most can give.
 'I challenge the opposition to do more. l dare them to do less.
 q have pity, rather than any other concern, for those men who accuse Re publicans of lack of patriotism and a failure in war support. Such state ments, spawned in spite and uttered with the evident belief that a partisan advantage can be gained thereby, are the walls of ignorance and the woofs of selfishness. They do no harm po- litically to those against whom they are directed. The contrary is true. But for national reasons most impor- tant most earnestly urge continually that there be no allegations from eith- CT side or the other concerning disloy- alty in this campaign. Shame on that man or committee of either party who does that. Such allegations are cal culated to create among minimizing people feeling of resentment on one side and distrust on the other, when acrimonious divisions are most de- plorable. Such allegations will give totally false impression of conditions in this country to the enemy. And the man, or the committee, or the party who starts anything like this is guilty in the very act of the worst kind of 
 ''This is no time for little things. All the organized diabolical forces of a trained brutality are at the throat of this country.

While striving first to win the war, and standing irrevoca- bly, against any peace based on a com- promise of principles, we propose to prepare for after-war problems, and take such steps that in all wisdom should be taken now, to the end that while we fight to make certain forever the right of free government through out the world we shall not forget that we have republic to preserve in this country. While every first-class power in Europe is preparing for the problems-industrial, economic and social-which will come after the war, the United States alone does nothing> We declare against this fallacious 'watchful waiting A greater shame than any of the past will presently be upon us if this new failure continues. And we propose to prevent the con- tinued riding of our ship of state in these doldrums. We will put her nose into the open sea, and with the signal full steam ahead
 "Deploring the socialistic tendencies of the present government, we declare that while there is absolutely nothing in this country which should not be taken and used for necessary war pur- poses, such taking shall be for war purposes only, and that in such action there must be no eventual ulterior ob- ject.
 We will move forward with full appreciation of the new needs of the nation, and with a full determination to watch we'll the ancient landmarks"

CHARLEBOIS WOULD LIKE
 TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE

Lou Charlebois, who received the nomination on the Democratic ticket for supervisor after a square fight for the place, is now asking the sup port of the people at the election this fall and his friends are confident that he will merit the support given him in an administration of county affairs that will please the great majority of the people.
 Mir. Charlebois, while not claiming any special credit on that account, is a veteran of the Spanish-Amerjcan war and served in the Philippines, where he was wounded severely and sent home. He was present when General Lawton was killed and saw hard service during his enlistment. He has been a resident of Flagstaff for the past thirteen years, during most of the time being in the sheep busi- ness for himself, which business has been made a marked success by his energetic ability.
 Mir. Charlebois is thoroughly &C., quainted with conditions in all parts of the county and the different inter- ests needing the close supervision of that office and is a vigorous, pro- gressive who believes in having things done. He is honest and above board in his dealings and is willing to let everyone know just where he stands on any question of policy affecting the business of the county.
 Of course it is hard to tell just why he wants to be a Democrat, but he claims that it's good deal of habit acquired when he was young, but does not think it would affect the business of the county if he is elected.

TuMuLTuous POLITICS.

"If that be politics, make the most of 1t" Is the impression one gets from reading the reply of Will H. Hays to Secretary Tumulty's charge that the Republican party is playing politics. Chairman Hays makes it plain that the only kind of politics his party is playing is in attempting to send to Congress men who will put winning the war before political considerations. AS an example of the kind of politics he is trying to separate from our gov ernment, Mir. Hays quotes the letter sent by Democratic leaders in Wis consin last spring to the soldiers of that state at Camp Grant. We give it in full.
 "You are entitled to vote for United States Senator from Wisconsin to sue ceed Senator Paul O. Husting. President Wilson, your command er-in-chief, desires all loyal Americans to vote for Joseph E. Davies for United States Senator.
 Davies selection means joy to Washington and gloom at Berlin.
 Davies defeat means gloom to Washington and joy at Berlin"
 The overwhelming majority by which Mir. Lenroot, the Republican candidate, was sent to the Senate is evidence of how the people of Wis consin regard that style of political activity. The voters of the rest of the country are of the same mind. It is to prevent continuance of that sort of thing that the Republicans are urging a change at Washington. They stand ready to accept Democratic criticism of their activities, knowing that the people of the country will make proper allowance for the source from which such attacks emanate.

Dunbar says the Arizona primary law is all wrong and wants it amend ed so that the candidate receiving the largest number of votes be declared elected. A safer plan would be to call a meeting of Democrats only and have them draw straws for the offices; this would prevent some damphool Demo crats from voting anything but the Democratic ticket.

Fred Colter accepts the nomination regardless of the mere prefunctory statement in the constitution which says that person can not be a mem Der of the legislature that raise the salary of an office, then be appointed or elected to it.

The Democratic brethren seem to think that the question of Fred Col ter's eligibility is all a Republican trick. It is the least of their troubles it is merely a Democratic trouble. The Republicans prefer Golfer as a candidate-then it is either Colter and Hunt or Campbell, clear Huntism issue.
