DEMOCRATIC PROPAGANDA.

Southeastern Alaska newspapers published telegraphic reports of the Grigsby meeting at Cordova. with the statements that they were sent by the Daily Times, and it admit ted that Grigsby would carry Cor dova by a large majority and the Third division by at least 800 Noth- ing could be farther from the truth. The Daily Times sent out no such transformation as a poll of the voters of COrdova and the Copper River valley indicates that Dan A. Sutherland is the choice of this sec ton for Delegate to Alaska and will receive at least two votes to Grigs- by's one Reports from other towns in the Third division are strongly in favor of Sutherland who should carry the division by from 700 to 500. This is not political propa- ganda and the Republicans have sui ficient confidence that their stand ard bearer will be elected that bets are freely offered on Sutherland de- feating Grigsby in the territory, with no takers.

WOMEN HOLD BALANCE OF
 POWER IN ELECTION.

One of the features of the cam paign now drawing to a close is the attitude to be taken by the women of the country in their first oppor- tunity to vote for a president of the United States. Many of the esti- mated 2S,OO0,OO0 women voters en- jOyed the franchise prior to adop- tion of 'the federal constitutional amendment. but there are probably 1S,0O0O00 or 2O,0OO0OO women who exercise their right to vote for the for the first time-easily enough to influence the result in either direc- tion they may show preference.
 The Democrats lay claim to a good chance of capturing their votes, on the theory that the women are in favor of peace and will endorse the League of Nations. This claim seems foolish, for there are other and bet ter ways of obtaining peace than through the Versailles instrument. Senator Harding has made it plain that one of his first acts after in uuguration will be to council with clear minds and devise an intelligent and reasonable international agree ment for peace, without the objec- tionable features of the covenant advocated by Wilson and Cox.
 The women voters will not be re- uuired to vote for Cox to secure an international agreement assuring peace. This is made plain both by the reiterated statements of Sen ator Harding and the declarations Of the Republican national platform.
 The women want peace, but there is no assurance of it through the obnoxious foreign entanglements that will come from adoption of the Wilson covenant. They will vote overwhelmingly for Harding and his plan for peace without entangle- mentS.

 If you are not particularly anxious about when a thing gets done turn it over to someone else.
 If every man were accepted at the value which he honestly places uptn himself, some Of us modest ones would be crowded out entirely.

 Hating a person doesn't do the object of the hate half as much harm as it does the person doing the hating.

A sTUPENDOUs BUNDER.

If Russia with it's 1S0.000000 peo- pie and the vast resources in raw materials can break through Poland, or break down that country and unite with Germany, we shall face the great danger which far-seeing men during the whole of the Flu about. When the allied and Ameri- can armies failed to take possession of Berlin, Vienna and Constantinople the most stupendous blunder in hu- man history was made, and to that failure is due the imminence of the dangers which we now face. If the armies of the allies and of America had held full possession there would have been no possible way for the spirit of bolshevism to spread. Amer ican troops, knowing that they had the enemy on the run, wept when they received word of the armistic and this we have from men who were engaged in the struggle on the battle front. They realized that a tremendous blunder was being made, and the world will yet have to face loss in men and money infinitely greater than would have been the cost in lives and treasures if we had gone "on to Berlin"

CALIFORNIA HAS REPRINTED.

When a Democratic congress came into power in 1913 it reduced the tariff on imported lemons from a cent and half pound to half a cent. Now California growers say they cannot compete with the for eign product and must go out of business unless they get relief. As California voted Democratic in 1912 and 1916. it looks as though she got just what she asked for.

ThOs. R. Greer for
County Attorney

/ For several issues the different
candidates have advertised their
qualifications for the Office of
county attorney and their claims
have gone forth in large type
and glowing language. Now it
is our turn.
RESIDENCE.
One of the candidates asks the
voters to support him because
he is an early resident" a
pioneer. Thos. R. Greer has
lived in Navajo County an d
Northern Arizona longer than
all of his three opponents put to-
gether.
SERVICE.
The paramount question be-
fore the voters upon the County
Attorneys race is SERVICE.
One candidate m a y promise
economy; another, efficiency;
another, harmony (whatever
that may mean) another. thor
ough equalization of taxes.
Prediction promises are easily
broken but the promises made
by our candidate last election
that he would treat rich and
poor alike, that he would keep
an office in the court house even
if he was thereby removed from
the business part of the town,
that he would stand for economy
and that he would be on the job
have been kept. Thos. r. Greer
runs on the same platform again
with emphasis on the question
of service. If elected he will
give his entire time to the. coun-
ty if such is necessary. Will
any of the other candidates give
up their profitable civil business
if elected? Ask them.
ECONOMY.
Much can be said on this ques-
ton but our candidate has at
tempted to try cases at the place
of origin instead of transporting
them to HoIbrook at great eX-
pense. The Justice of the Peace
of the different precincts know
the difference since he has been
county attorney. They have only
to call him up on the telephone
and he comes on the next train
or on the next stage.
Since the election of our candi-
date the County Jail has been
vacant the greater part of the
time. Cases have been prompt
ly disposed Of in ord-breaking
time. When present incumbent
needed help, he has employed
local attorneys to assist him. In
two recent murder cases, of a
difficult nature, he sent for an
attorney that he knew and paid
the expense himself. The davs
of lot of high-priced counsel,
either local or foreign, fattening
at county expense, has passed
during the time that our candi-
date holds office.
Although the law allows it, he
has refused to employ deputy,
even when it would have made
his reelection sure, and if he is
reelected there will be no depu-
ty County Attorney unless the
business grows so large that he
can not handle it alone.
QUALIFICATIONS.
Thos. R. Greer is a Young
man, abounding in energy, Of
great intellectual attainments, a
fluent and convincing speaker.
and he is right in the harness
and ready for work. Our candi-
date is the only man on the list
that can speak the Spanish Ian
guage and this is very import
ant when you consider that most
of our criminal cases must be
conducted through an interpre-
ter. In a late case the county

ty of the County Attorney to
speak Spanish.
When Mr.. Greer took Office
the delinquent tax list was an
appalling thing. Now large
part of these taxes are collected
and the rest are in the process
of collection. Will you not give
him time to clean the slate?
He is the only one of the
candidates who would consider
the position worthy of his full
time and attention, and be at
liberty to give it such.
And the rest are too busy to
care for the office properly. All
of them have a large and grow
ing law practice. They represent
the banks, the wholesale and re-
tail houses, the big cattlemen
and sheepmen. They do not
need it. Our candidate does.
Mr.. Thorwald Larson is now
City Attorney of Holbrook; he is
also U. s. Land Commissioner.
and his wife is a teacher in the
public schools at Holbrook. Isn't
that enough for a family of two
people? Judge Sapp for seven
and a half years presided as
Superior Judge in this county.
Will any one say that he has not
had his turn? Mr.. w. E. Fergu-
son, although not long in the
county, was a member of the
Local Board during war times
and since then as Secretary of
the Highway Commission drew
down a fair salary considering
the time spent. Can he not wait
a little longer? Especially, when
Mr. Greer has served at a salary
of 1925 a month at a time when
living expenses were the highest
ever known. The rest have had
their day or it is coming. Give
our candidate a chance to buy
his law library and his house.
You know this every dollar that
he makes will be spent here at
home.
The Snowflake herald., 1920-09-03
POLITICS.

Beaten at the primary last
election, ThorwaId Larson bolted
III e ticket. although he had
printed on his cards beforehand,
Subject to the Democratic Pri-
maries," while Judge Sapp only
last election was a Republican,
and Ferguson does not deny
changing his political faith on
coming h ere from California.
Greer has been for years a
Democrat.
For these reasons you are ask
ed to vote for Thos. r. Greer by
his friends and relatives, citizens
Of Navajo County. You will
make no mistake in pleasing us
and thereby best serving your
selves. Vote for Thos. r. Greer
for County Attorney.
