gen. HARVEY TELLS
FR|ENDSOF RETIREMENT
Application for Transfer Approved
Thursday, Announces to Law
School Association.

In accordance with the understand
ing at the time of his appointment,
published last Saturday. as command
ing general of the District of Column
bia militia. Brig. Gen. William E. Har-
vey Immediately applied for transfer
to the retired list. The application
was approved and the retirement be-
came effective Thursday. Gen. Har-
vey made the announcement last even
ing>,at a banquet of the Columbian
and George Washington Law School
Association. at the City Club.
Gen Harvey, then colonel of the I'd
Infantry, N. G. d. c., was appointed
brigadier general commanding the
District OF Columbia militia in 1915.
to MI the vacancy caused by the &C
tion OF Gen. George II Harries in ap-
plying for Retirement. because his bust
ness interests kept him away from
the city most of the time.
With the entry of the United States
in the world war in 1917 Gen. Harvey
was commissioned a brigadier general
in the National Army. That auto
matically severed his connection witt
the National Guard. He commanded
an infantry brigade at Camp Shelby,
near HattiesburG, Miss. and later a
provisional brigade. When all general
officers were examined to- deter,n!n
their physlcai ntnesS for overseas
duty. Gen. Harvey. in May. 1918, was
reported as disqualified and honorably
discharged.
notwithstanding his years of serv-
ice In the District National Guard, he
then had no connection with 1t be-
cause of his appointment in the Ma
tional Army. The recent death of
Brig. Gen. r. D. Sims. however, at
forded the opportunity to reappoint
Gen. Harvey to the command Of tho
District of Columbia militia, SO that
he could be transferred to the retired
list and thereby have a record con-
nection with the organization in
which he served faithfully for many
years.

The familiar slogan Can it, will
be conspicuous by its absence this
summer unless some material relief

MUNICIPAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET

The municipal ticket nominated at the Demo-
cratic mass meeting Wednesday evening is one of
the best ever presented to the people of Nogales for
acceptance and election 1t consists of first class
business men, all taxpayers, with wide experience
all in the commercial world while number of them
are experienced in municipal matters
The ticket was nominated in an open public meet
ing, with a large number of citizens present and
participating. Those nominated were so manifestly
the choice of the majority that it would be anything
but democratic to refuse to support any of them
Those who led the poll were more than three to one
in the lead, while those who were lowest in votes
among the successful nominees were more than two
to one winners their highest opponents If those
who were left behind had any greater strength than
they manifested their friends and adherents failed
TO accept the invitation to attend and put their
favorites. AS good citizens and as Democrats they
will support the ticket without a scratch.
The men named will be elected and their cleo
ton will guarantee the same excellent government
that the city has had the past two years The pre-
sent administration has been the best and most econ
omical the municipality has ever had AS the cam
paign progresses The Oasis" will present many fin
ancal statements facts, figures and comparisons to
which will bear out this assertion.
