PRESCOTT IS READY
 TO ENTERTAIN ALL
 AT FRONTIER DAYS''
Special to The Republican,

With cowboys coming from all sec tions of the country. and many already in the Mile High city, Prescott is ready to open it's big Frontier days eelebra- tion, July ?.
 For those interested in accommoda- tions, and who have not been able to make reservations at the hotels. the Frontier Days accommodation com mittee will be on the job day and night. Their headquarters will be in the chamber of commerce office, in the courthouse, and every visitor to the Mile High city, will be taken care of comfortably by c. l.. Gentry, chairman of the accommodations committee.
 The fair grounds are in excellent condition, and the stock including the bucking horses, the wild horses, bulls and calves are on the ground and ready for their part in the celebration.
 In addition to the cowboy contests for which s10.000 will be offered in purses, there will be plenty doing in the way of entertainment. Band con certs, baseball games, horse races. oDen air dances and many other attractions will be had, so that every person can enjoy a real time.
 Summer excursion fares will be in effect from all points Those who have never witnessed the fascinating sports of the cowboys will do well to bear in mind the dates of the Prescott Frontier days. for it is only in the Mile High city of Arizona that the cowboys are seen at their best.
 The rivalry is keen, not only for the high cash purses, but also for the honor which goes with each contest. Reservations for accommodations can be made by writing to Brownie"

wishes of the people of Arizona" he said They might have switched their support to some other candidate but that would have been disloyal to the republicans at home. They took the only loyal course and they are to be commended for it. They staid with Wood until there was an overwhelm ing majority for Harding and then showed their party loyalty by voting to make his nomination unanimous"
 Alexander is confident of Republi can victory in both state and the ma tion. The people are tired with the dictatoTfal sway of Wilson, he said.
 They demand a change, while here at home they are becoming weary of see ing the same names and the same faces in public office year after year. As a result there is going to be a clean sweep of Democratic inefficiency all around"
 Senator Harding will carry Ohio by at least 100000 and win the electoral vote of that state even though Gov ernor Cox should be nominated at San Francisco, is the prediction of Alan B. Jaynes, republican national com mitteeman, just back from Columbus where he went following the Chicago convention.
 Harding's nomination, he says, wiped out any factional feeling among Ohio
Arizona republican., 1920-06-27

republicans and he will poll a full party vote in his home state. and added:
 Former pros re sive leaders throughout the nation are giving Sen ator Harding their enthusiastic sup port, and he has given assurances that he will endeavor to represent the most advanced thought of his party in the White House.
 The Republican national committee recognized the importance of associat- ing the Progressive element of the party in the management of the cam paign and this will be done. Progress i've leaders will take the stump throughout the nation and do their ut most to put an end to the eXtravagant misrule at Washington"
 Judge Ed w. Wells of Prescott, one of Arizona's delegates, remained in the East to represent Arizona at the noti- fication ceremonies at Marion, Ohio, July 15. George w. Elias, Frank M. Pool and F. l.. Breen of the delegation went to New York.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 25-The Turkish nationalists still are pressing the Asiatic shores of Marmora in the vicinity of Constantinople and are di- recting a great concentration toward Smyrna Apparently the plan of tho followers of Mustapha Renal Pasha, the nationalist leader, is to harass the Greeks as much as possible in Thrace and the English opposite Constanti- nople to prevent them from sending endorsements to the Greeks in the smyrna district where, it is believed here, the nationalists will attack in force if the peace conference persists in giving Smyrna to the Greeks.
