LOVERIDGE FOR MAYOR ON
 ETH NON-PARTISAN TICKET
From FridaY's DaiIvl
< l. #% ## * * < * < < < F

These are the candidates who will go before the electors on d. non partisan ticket at the city election On January 4.
 Ever since the primary election there has been a growing feeling that it would stimulate the interest of citizens in civic affairs if there were some competition in the city election. At the primary, Mayor Goldwater and Councilmen A. L. Smith and William Byers were re nominated without any opposition Gradually the feeling for another ticket developed until it found cX- pression i'll a meeting of citizens on Tuesday night, at which 40 were present, when the gentlemen named at the head of this column were unanimously chosen to constitute q non-partisan ticket. the purposes o} which it was announced. were to work flor a bigger and better Pres colt" primarily through the medium of the city council and likewise as an organization of citizens.
 Mir. Loveridge had been previously prevailed upon to head the ticket although he did not consent 10 do so until he became thoroughly con- vinced that there existed a strong and enthusiastic sentiment behind the movement. While some persons regarded Mir. Loveridge as a new conner in the community, it was argued in his behalf that he had been a resident of Prescott for four years and that he is especially well qualified to be the chief executive Of the city on account of his pos sessing the experience of having served nine years as councilman in the cities of Tarrytown, N. Y, and Montclair, N. l., prior to locat- ing in Prescott to practice his pro fession as an attorney-at-law.
 As a successful businessman, with a clean record, Maurice L. Tribby, who has been in the retail shoe busi- ness in Prescott for many years, is regarded as an ideal man to repre- sent the city on the council. while it was pointed out that Charles H. Dunning with his education and cx- perience as a civil engineer would be a valuable member of the city council.
 Plans were completed at a meet ing last night of the executive com mittee for organizing for the cam paign, the preliminary work to be that of urging citizens to register so as to be able to vote. At these meetings, it is said there was no ex- pression of personal animus against
 
 nominated in the primary, nor was there any virulent criticism of the present administration. On the con-
 rary, the spirit of the meeting, as voiced by the various speakers, was an earnest desire for organized team work for the improvement of Pres colt as far as its finances would permit.

NON-SUPPORT IS SERIOUS
 SAYS JUDGE OF COURT
CFrom Saturdays daily)

The wisdom of Solomon received its greatest press-agentry through q case involving a child.
 But when a case arises about wife and four children and a shift less husband and father, the wisdom of mere superior judge like John J. Sweeney is submitted to terrific strain.
 John R. Edwards went before the court yesterday and pleaded guilty to non-support of his wife and four children. It then became the duty of the court to act and Judge Sweeney frankly confessed himself puzzled. If he slowed Edwards away in the state prison for q year, no particular good would be done the children; if he turned Edwards loose, there was nothing to insure his caring for the young ones.
 So, he reserved judgment.
 Meanwhile Mrs. Edwards has been working at the post where she can earn $55 a month and her room and board. Of this $40 month goes to the county which is putting up a like amount for the care of the four little ones.
 One result of the consideration of this and similar cases in Yavapai county will be an effort on the part of the bar of the state to pass the California non-support laws in Ari- zona SO that control of an erring parent can be closely held by a court of justice, according to Judge Sweeney.
 Extreme severity in cases of this kind is the impulse of the court, the defendant was told. In cases oi. there is usually some cx- cusc to be found in heated passions. Permitting ones children to go hun gry, however, IS a more deadly of fcnsc in that it is not indulgcd in in a moment of excitement or emotion.
 Incidentally it was brought out that it costs the county $2O a kid month for dependents and that quiet ly. great deal of good work is be ing done at a comparatively low cost by the juvenile department Of the superior court

 Men being turned away from the hospital here, because of a crippling lack of room to care for them, are making shift i'll the town, and these men are entitled to consideration and action to secure treatment for them at the hospital.
 Tt will be admitted by all familiar with the class of disabilities under treatment here, that the chief need of men who are constantly returning to Prescott at their own expense from California and Colorado, in order to have the benefits of this climate, is aid in helping them to locate here under suspicious condi- tions"
 The matter, Roberts said, will be taken Up with the heads of inc state and national organization with view to receiving cooperation and aid for men being turned away.
 Upon their arrival in this city, Vice Commander Winslett and his party will be met by members of the Allan Lose post, who will con duct them on a tour of Prescott. and accompany them on their visit 10 Whipple Barracks.

The trees are being taken from Spruce mountain, one person being privileged to cut trees for him self and his neighbor if he choscs.
 Trees will be charged for only il they are cut for commercial pur- poses, those being cut for private use being given free.
 It was stated yesterday at the for cst office that some persons are cutting trees without permits, and 1t is to be hoped that the practice will be discontinued, for the trees being cut under direction of Ranger Mich ols are only those that can be spared.
