REPUBLICANS WILL WARM
 UP AT SNOWFLAKE MONDAY

If you hear loud and unusual noises floating up from the south end ot the county Monday, don't mistake it for the Adamana roaring in-for it will be only the reverberation of the G. O. P. oratory encouraging the elephant and getting his nibs in trim to trcd the dubious path that has heretofore been strewn with other obstacles besides roses, to the court house in Holbrook.
 All the sad and weary ones that have plodded along for 10, these many years in an endeavor to park the elephant in the Navajo county court house will be there-and there will be keynoting in the high keys. by the faithful that will tell you that they have tOted water fol the elephant many, many times oves a dry and unproductiVe desert and received therefor nary a check on the pay wagon.
 But this year it is going to be so different from the barren harvests that have gone before-for accord ing to the political weather vane in Ohio and Massachusetts, Arizona and Navajo county are going to swing onto the republican band wagon-and the hoard of peace and plenty is go- ing to be poured out at the feet of all who will come and worship at their shrine.
 The optimistic republicans are this year going to drink with gusto the lemonade manufactured from the lemons handed them for many moons by the democrats in this county.
 A ticket will be framed in Snow flake Monday that may not be showed under in November-and it will be a shame if it is-for it will be imbued with the best blood obtain able, tickets always are, and a stampede to the republican fold is predicted by the G. o. P. managers that have been tuned up and toned Gown by the inspiring. news from the east that Arizona will be looked after this time-in other words to hold the fort for reinforcement are com ing.
 A full county ticket is in the in- cubatOr due to 'pip" Monday, and if any of the prospects do not come through whole they will miss the chance of a lifetime to ride into office on a republican landslide that Judge Crosby says is sure to arrive in Navajo county this fall.

BANKERS TRUST co.
 GET NAVAJO BONDS

Alfred Holman, representing J. c. Mayer & Co.,, of Cincinnati; L. c. Leedy, of the Bankers Trust Co.,, Denver, and Gray B. Gray, of Sidlo, Sidons, Fells & Co.,, of Denver, were here this week going over the de- tails of the $15O,OOO bond issue for the improvement of county roads.

/ posed Amendments, Will Be
Near Perfection.

With the addition of several pro-
posed amendments. the present bank

ton as it is possible to make it, &C
cording to Senator Thomas Sterling

and gave reasons why he thought
the majority Of them probably would
be adopted.
He said that the cause for tho re-
! peal of the first bankruptcy law. in
1909. which was enacted in 1900, was
the favor shown the creditor class. it
failing to provide for voluntary bank
and repealed two years later went
to the other extreme and showed
partially to the debtor class.
