WALES DOES NOT
 BELIEVE. IN SIGNS

H. Basil Wales, Supervisor of the Prescott National Forest leaves to- morrow for an extended trip into the Jerome country. He is going to look into the possibility of stopping the, marring of the beauty of the scenery along the new highway by firms advertising their business by painting signs upon the rocks. He says the regulation of the forestry department forbidding this practise is going to be enforced ii possible, and he seeks the cooperation of business men in this effort. He be- lieves that all people should allow the strong appeal Of natures scenic beauty to stand alone and not mar it by commercialism.
 Mir. Wales says that there are q number of propositions on foot by people from Phoenix, Clarkdale,. and Jerome for the establishment of sum- mer home colonies in the mountains of the Prescott Forest Reserve and that he is cooperating in every way to assist in getting matters properly arranged to. suit the needs Of as many as possible. Cooperation of the business men adjacent to these scenic spots will prevent their per version by too many signs of an ob- iectionable character, and make the resorts more desirable.

MAINE TWO TO ONE ELECTS
 A REPUBLICAN HELMSMAN
(From Tuesdays Daily)

PORTLAND, MAINE, Sept. 13.- A large majority for Frederick H. Parkhurst, republican nominee for governor over his democratic. op- ponent Bertrand c. AIhcIntyre, was shown in returns from nearly half of the state tonight.
 The total republican vote in 374 precincts out of 632 in the state re- presenting 249 cities and towns out of 5l9 showed an increase Of more than 28.0OO over that of 19l6, the last presidential year while the demo- cratic vote was virtually the same. Roy L. WardweIl. republican was elected state auditor by a large ma jority over James J. Mellon, demo- crat. The legislature will be strong fly republican.
 Early returns from the four con- gressional districts showed Congress- man WI. H. White, IT, John A. Peters and Ira C. Hersey maintaining a comfortable lead over the democratic opponents and Carroll L. Beedy, re- publican nominee in the first district also in the lead. The large increases in the total vote were attributed chiefly to the fact that women voted today for the first tune and came out in large numbers in spite of a heavy rain throughout the state in the afternoon.
 The state campaign was fought out almost wholly on national lines. Both parties sent into the state many of their leaders including the two candidates for vice-president
 The chief issue which all speakers emphasized, was the League of Ma tions, the republicans urging rejection of the league covenant unless ac- companied by strong reservations and the democrats advocating rati- fication of the League of Nations without reservations which would change its terms.

MULES COME UP FOR TRIAL
 IN SUPERIOR COURT.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Disposition of the now famous mule case involving the contract of sale for certain road building equip ment by the Aubrey Investment company to the State of Arizona will be among the possibilities today in the Yavapai superior court. The case comes up for trial at 8 o'clock this morning and Judge John J. Sweeney hopes to finish taking testimony by adjourning time. State Engineer Thomas Maddock, who was going south yesterday, was subpoenaed and will remain over for the hearing. Former Assistant At torney General L. B. Whitney, who was member of the commission of state institutions that accepted the mules. was in the city yesterday pre- pared to testify.
 The Aubrey Investment company, it is understood will De represented by John A. Ellis and F. L. Haworth. wv. E. Ryan is a special attorney for Governor Campbell. The attorney generals office will represent the state.
 fThe case, which will be tried on it's merits today, was started when the commission of state institutions named by Governor Campbell re- fused to proceed under a contract made between the company and the old commission. A. A. Johns and lack Trenberth of the company, sued the state for the final payments and after a long period of settling law points, the case will come on for trial on its facts.
 The famous Tony Johns mule case involved the sale to the state in the dying days of the last democratic state administration Of some 34 head of animals.
 Among those to appear as wit nesses are L. B. Whitney and Thomas Malony. Whitney was member of the old commission of state institutions at the time the contract was made and Maloney was secretary at the time.
 Attorney Will Ryan will represent the state, having been named spe- citl counsel to handle the case.
 The suit is brought in the name of the Aubrey Investment company of which A. A. (Tony) Johns preSi- dent of the state senate was presl- dent and principal stock holder The plaintiff seeks to collect $lSOOO al- legged balance due on the alleged con tract. which was promptly annuled when the present state officials took office.
 The cancellation of the contract was based on a veterinarian report showing that most of the animals sold were knockkneed, spawned, or otherwise decrepit and unfit for work.
