NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

The three newspapers of Greenlee county are engaged in the printing business; each of them has large sums invested in equipment; each of them pays state, county and city taxes; each of them devotes much free space in every issue to national, state and county projects for the betterment of the communities, and each of them in every way possible helps to boost every good plan that comes along.
 For these and other reasons they feel that they have good reasons to ask that printing orders be left in this county instead of being sent to other places. This applies partic- ularly to seekers of public office. During the campaigns in this county la number of candidates for office have seen fit to send out of the county for cards, placards and other printing to further their candidates. This has not been done in order to save money as the local offices were not asked for quotations. It was not done for the purpose of securing the union label as any one of the local offices can supply printing with the union label.
 Consequently, believing this act to be rank injustice to their busi ness, the three newspapers of the county hereby announce their inten tion of refusing support and giving active opposition to any candidate who sends away for printing for campaign purposes, and it is further the intention of the three newspapers to publish the fact each week until the end of the campaign a list of all candidates who have bought printing outside of the county.

Everybody knows Jack Albrecht. He, too, seeks to handle the county's cash, and his ability to do it cor rectly and efficiently is no experiment He is a young man of the strictest in tegrity, and his ability and training especially qualfies him for the office he seeks. His life is an open book to all, and no one can say aught against his uprightness and honesty. If chosen as the party's nominee for the office of County Treasurer Green lee can still boast of having an eff cient man to keep the accounts of the county, and rest in the security that every cent will be properly ac- counted for which passes through his hands He is seeking the nomina- tfon at the hands of the Democratic party in the approaching primary election. He asks your considera- tion of his claims and ability in his laudable ambition to serve you, sub- ject to the Democratic primary.
 After the ConstabIe's Job.
 The office of Constable is equally important to the precinct as the of flee of sheriff to the county. MT. Dill liner announces his candidacy this week for the office of Constable Of Clifton Precinct. He is well known to the people of Clifton and the en- tire precinct. He has been before the people in the past in the capa- city of a czndI .ate for this position, and the creditl ,le rars hc made. was one any man could be proud of. Subject to the will of the Democrats he is seeking the nomination, and asks for the support of the voters in the approaching primary.
 BiIIinssIey for Constable.
 The Constable is the man who is charged by the statutes with looking after the petty offenders of the pre- cinct. While his duties and oath are the same as that of every other peace officer, yet this small office is of more importance than the aver age voter considers. It is essential that the proper man is elected, if the best order is maintained. MT. J. A. Billingsley announces his candid acy for the nomination of his fel- low Democrats, and asks the support of the people in the coming primary. His standing as a man, and his abili- ty to serve the precinct in the capa- city he seeks, are facts known to most of the vters of the county. If chosen he promises faithful perform ance of the duties of the office. Con slider his ability to make an efficient officer when you cast your ballot, is the request MT. Billingsley makes.
 A Lady Candidate for Recorder.
 Another lady enters the political contest. The announcement of Mrs. Florence Yorke Foote appears this week in the announcement columns of the Copper Era. This lady is candidate for the nomination of
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1918-07-12

the Democratic party for the office of Recorder of Greenlee, and is sub hitting her claims to the democrats in the approaching primaries. Hav- ing previously had considerable ex- perience in the U. s. Land Office of Colorado, being attached to the of fee at Colorado Springs, she feels that she will not be unfamiliar with the duties of the office of Recorder. should she be chosen, as the routine is not widely dissimilar. This lady enjoys the distinction of being one of the most intellectual ladies of Arizona, and has taken a prominent part in the civic work of the state. where her abilities have been given recognition. Her decision to an- nounce for this position was arrived at by reason of the fact that MT. Foote is now in the officers training school at Butte, Mont, and on the reserve list subject to call at any time, and should he be called into the service she will be thrown upon her own resources for the duration of the war. Her ambition to serve in this capacity is therefore, laudable one. She asks careful considera- tion of her qualifications at the hands of the party when their nomi
 uees are :ele c'-d September 10.

 Miss Irma Springer entertained in formally a few of her girl friends last Saturday evening, at the home of her parents, MT. and Mrs. F. H. Springer, in Hills Flat. To lend dignity to the occasion, a few ma irons of the Flat were also present. Music was enjoyed during the even ing, after which dainty and delight full refreshments were served by the charming young hostess. This affair was a complete refutation that the presence of the male sex is essen tial to the success of a social event, as none were in evidence, and more enjoyable social function could hardly have been staged. Those present to partake of Miss Springer's hospitality on this occasion were Mesdames Doris Carpenter, Kettle White, Florence Brazee and Horn: Misses Carrie Young, Louise Daw- son, Margaret Cotey, Vera McDowell.
