ID OPEN APRIL 25
 , DAYS
(From Saturdays Daily.)

, By action of the Chautauqua com
 mittee of the Yavapai County Cham Der of Comerce, a splendid Chautau- qua entertainment will be given at the Elks theater commencing April 25 and ending on the evening of April %. Arrangements were made
 by the committee for holding the
 Chautauqua in the theater, which in sures comfortable seats for both the afternoon and evening performances.
 It has been possible for the Eli son-White Chautauqua system to ar range such program as will be given in Prescott only through the cooperation of 900 western commu- mites. They would be unable to purchase and deliver to any city a single days program for the cost of the entire five performances were it not for the public spirit manifested oy the cities which desire to hold Chautauquas.
 The music and entertainment will consist of MacGregor's vocal quar- tet; Ruby Page Ferguson, reader and interpreter of plays; the Reg niers, impersonators and makeup" artists the Stearns-Gregg company with the best of classics, and Madame Josephine Martino, prima donna soprano.
 On the featuring staff will be Mar ion Ballou Fisk, cartoonist-lecturer; Joel w. Eastman, who will talk on present day problems; Mrs. D. Pirie Beyea, Americas first volunteer Red Cross nurse, and Charles s. Price, with beautiful slides Illustrating the wilds of Alaska.
 The season ticket sale will open about one week before the opening date of the Chautauqua. The price of admission has been made as low as possible by the committee; in fact a bare estimate as to the cost of the theater and the guarantee 10 the Chautauqua system have been the only things which set the price of admission. For the entire ten per formances, a season ticket will be sold at $4 and two season tickets will sell for $7.5O, and will include reservations for the night perform ances for the weeks entertainment. It is expected that the season ticket sale will be large, as the de- mand for such entertainments is keenly felt in Prescott.

SLUSH FUND OF OLD UNPAID BY
 DEMOCRATS

PHOENIX. March 1.-The names of several well known democrats arc attached to notes in favor of the Northern Arizona Leader of Flag staff which were placed here yester- day for collection.
 These notes are dated October 2S 1918, and were in the nature of gift to the leading democratic newspaper of the state because of the active fight which the paper was making in be- half of Fred T. Colter, candidate for governor, and the balance of the ticket.
 The amounts named are $50 in each case. According to rumor the signers of the notes have steadfastly and repeatedly refused to pay, with the result that George Rabbit, chair man of the democratic state com- nrittee. has been forced to meet the obligation. One of the note signers is a man who holds nice fat job in one of the important state com missions, and is said to be well able to pay. Some of the others are those who have held good jobs under the Hunt regime, but who have drifted away.
 Rabbit, by the way, is said to be becoming very weary of his job as state chairman. His resignation would have been accepted long since, 1t is said on reliable authority, but for the lack of a good angel to take his place. From Babbitt's experience a barrel of jack would seem to con stitute the chief prerequisites for candidates. Many democrats are thus supplied, but these have no hanker- ing to fill Rabbits shoes and so the job goes begging.

BANK RUNNER IS LOCKED UP IN
 THE VAULT
(From Sundays d2iiy.1

c. N. Hilborn, aged about 2, a runner for the Bank of Arizona spent nearly four hours locked in the vault, with the time lock set for 10 a. n- tomorrow.
 At II o'clock last night, under in- structions from F. A. Hathaway, as- sistant cashier, Hilborn succeeded in breaking the lock that fastens a glass dust door over the time-lock mechanism, and walked forth a free man.
 When Frank Hilborn, brother oi the runner, telephoned Mir Hatha- way last evening to inquire where the young man was and why he hadn't shown up for dinner, the bank official was unable to answer him. He had been at the bank until about / o'clock and had seen the door open In fact, the janitor had called his at tention to the fact. No one had been working about the outer offices for over two hours, and the door was closed on the assumption that the vault was unoccupied.
 The elder Hilborn suggested the vault, and Hathaway and himself hurried to the bank. They were able to call to young Hilborn inside the vault. Frank Hilborn then called a physician, who told him that 500 feet of air would maintain life until Mon- day A quick calculation assured the bank official that there were above $500 feet of air in the vault, and also a blower for ventilation, so that Hilborn was at no time in the slightest peril of sufocation.
 When told to break the glass door Hilborn objected, saying he was willing to remain in the vault until the clock ran down Monday He said he felt perfectly safe with plenty of air. Hathaway prevailed on him to make his escape, however, and by means of a bar and 30 minutes work, the runner was able to free the time-lock mechanism. He left his confinement with the utmost calm and not a particle worse for his weird experience.

Critics of the enterprise agree that the advertising joker can not be accused of profteering.

 Out of the activities and also of the vigorous mancuvering of leaders and lieutenantS of the leading candi- dates came a new crop of reports over night.
 Wood supporters affirmed that he would show strength in excess of 800 on the first ballot. Some placed it at 350, and it requires 493 to nominate. Previous Wood claims had not ex- ceeded 250. The source of the eN- pected additional 50 or 100 votes was not disclosed by the claimants.

LOwden Men Active.

Lowden supporters also were ac- tive. They asserted that they needed only the adherence of a strong eastern delegation to the Illinois governors standard to put him over. It was an open secret that they were flirting with the big New York representation pledged to Nicholas Murray Butler at the outset and with some known Wood strength in its ranks: but the ultimate action of the majority as yet undecided.
 Johnson supporters were very ac- tive openly during the evening hours yesterday treating the convention camp to a taste of old-time methods in the way of bands and banners and a stump oratory at the curb. What they were doing otherwise towards 'torpedoing rival booms was not so clear They made no claims beyond asserting that the Californian would show steadily growing strength as the balIoting proceeded.

 The question of naming a candidate for vice president is interwoven with the result of the presidential race. Po- litical considerations based on the part of the country from which the two candidates hail and the party's strength therein, always influence the vice-presidential selection. As a rule it has been the custom of all parties to pick a man for the strength he would add to the ticket at a crucial point. so leaders generally were not inclined to attempt to cross the vice. presidential bridge until they came to it and knew what river they wanted to cross.

Wood, LOWden and Johnson Men
 Ready for the Fray

Chicago. June .11.--With most of the platform battle swept away by the roar Of affirmation which wrote the republican creed for 1920 into history, delegates tu the national con vcntion gathered carly today to fulfill their chief duty and name a presiden- tial andidate.
 Who would receive this highest honor in the party's gift was as much on the lap of the gods as ever. Field marsha1s for the big thrce." Wood, Johnson and Lowden. expressed con fidcnce. They made no specific claims 10 more than the votes pledged 10 their candidates by primary action.
 The balance of power still lay with the more than 500 uninstructed dele gates. Despite days of missionary work among them, licutenants of tho leading candidates had learned little of their state of mind. It remained for the first ballot to reveal any de- cisive drift of sentiment among the rank and file of the party.
 First on the program came the nominating speeches. To get these swiftly out of tho way the convention met at 9 o'clock instead of II as on previous days. Further steps toward short-circuiting useless and other tiresomc oratory were taken in con- nection with seconding speeches.
 Under the rule adopted each can didate may be seconded in two five minute speeches. He may have as many seconders as he likes but if he elects to have more than two, none of those who speak for him may talk more than two minutes. Under this ruthless curb on eulogists, the first ballot should be reached by mid a aAernoon. Indications are that it will st ~v the instructed strength of the major candidates lined up virtually solidly in accordance with the man. dates carried by the instructed dele gations.
