URGES jOHNSONPS REFLECTION AS
 SUPERVISION

Every property owner, taxpayer and
 good citizen of the Warren district who has the least pride and interest
 in his home community will read the article below from the Benson Signal
 with most thoughtful attention. lt has to do with much more vital mat ters than mere politics. pthe re-elec- ;ion of Vance Johnson to the county beard of supervisors tis important to the Benson community because or his exceptional ability and energy and fit ness for the place. how much more is it to the Warren district, which is Johnson's home. If Johnson is beaten Tor the nomination t simply means that this district will not be represent cd cn this vital county toard. If he is beatea it will be by a candidate who has bitter feud with Blsbee be- cause of the city's action taken against the l. w. W. in August of last year, and who is running on a platform built nf spite. So, regardless of political, class, feud, prejudice or petty and selfish feelings the voters of this dis trict as a matter of plain, practical common sense and good judgment should certainly read and weigh and consider this tribute from the Benson Signal regarding the two old and tried members of the board, which reads as follows:
 As the primary election campaign draws to a close, the Signal would like to present a few reasons why the people of Benson should vote for the present members of the board of su- pervisors at the primary election Sept. 10.
 Among other benefits the commit lily of Benson and surrounding cOun- try have received from the present hoard of supervisors is the completion Of tire concrete bridge across the San Pedro river cn the Beuson-Drag good Wilcox road; cutting down the Eiadc on the Adams Hill to any easy ard safe grade on tne same rOaC ore ~f ul.e heaviest pieces Of -caG worK that has been done in tie county, and making a good road that will accom- noGate the travel of large ares of co1ntry leading through Benson. The work now being done on the poOl road by the cou1ty ad outfit, nak h.. a FCod road :r Tei son for the dc o~lam~ dltion O. the S, ttiements alC.g {. 2 San Pedro r'ycI north to cue county line The building and surfac- ing of the road acrcss the Curtis Flat and the necessary bridge cOnstruc- tion, making permauent road for maEy miles through the St EasId val ',.y iEd an outle- iu ravel from the southern and eastern parts of the county with 9 shortened route through Benscn to the western towns of the state.
 ''Tbe appointment of a county high way commission who selected the route through Benson to the Pima county line for tho construction of the permanent graded highway through the southern part of the county. thus placing Benson on the main thorough fare for tourist travel for the future. Work on this section will start short ly bids for the grading having been called for
 There are as good reasons why the people of the whole county should be interested in keeping the same mem bers on the board Of supervisors until all the proposed improvements throughout the county are completed.
 The old adage: Tt never pays to swap horses in the middle of the stream, applies to Cochise county in the coming primary election, and to avoid such a mistake. one might seri- lously delay completion of our pro posed road system, all voters who are eligible to vote in the Democratic primaries Sept. 10 should go to the polls and vote for Vance M. Johnson and John Rock. the two members of the present board of supervisors who are on the ballot for renOminatiOn. Johnson and Rock have made good. let's keep them"
