more students entered the military.
professor A. H. Hughey, principal. re-
ported Thursday The names OF the
students are written in old English
scroll letters on a framed honor roll
that hangs IN the main corridor Of
the school The school is claiming
credit only for students who have
been in the Institution during the past
four years and are still OF school age
and would be attending classes II
there were no war.
Students remaining at school are
displaying great patriotism The
cadet corps is drilling an hour and
IS minutes daily, even the eighth
grade boys. As TO the latter. many
OF whom are Is or a years old, the
principal and the corps leaders are
considering reducing their drill to 45
minutes. as their physical develop

CLAIMS
STATE BY 1000
Ridicules Idea That Court
May Declare Him Ineligi-
bic for Office.

Phoenix. Ariz., Sept 12.-Friends
Of senator Fred Golfer today claimed
for him the Democratic nomination
for governor by 1000 votes over Os-
born and Suffer. They claimed Mari
copa by 100. Apache 200. Navajo zoo,
Yavapai zoo. Mohave zoo. ella 1000,
Greenlee 500. Santa Cruz 100. Pinal
200, Pima 200. Coconino 500. Cochise
see, leaving only Yuma against him Of
all the counties. II is probable his
plurality over Suffer will be 1000.
Suffers local manager claims that
IS percent Of the Osborn strength
would have gone TO Suffer in the
event Of only two candidates on the
ticket and that Golfer gets through
by a distinct minority vote Of tbs
party
Il is notable that in this county
hardly so percent OF the Democratic
registration was represented at the
primaries ard that general apathy fol-
lowed one Of the most abusive cam
paigns ever known.
There is a possibility that the re-
salt may get into the courts on the
basis OF a legislative act that forbids
the appointment or election Of a leg
islator to an office Of which the emol-
uments have been increased during
his term OF office.
The salary OF the governor fixed BY
the constitution. pending the fixing
Of it by statute. was $4,000 year The
third legislature increased the salary
on March Il, 1917, to $500 This act
was passed by the last legislature, OF
which both Golfer and Suffer were
members. Golfers headquarters ridl
cuies the idea Of his ineligibilty.
