Our Candidates.
JOHN H. UDALL

the republican candidate for state re- presentative for Apache County is so we'll and favorably known, that it is useless for us to say anything about him. He has served the county as clerk of the Superior court and perform ed the duties which devolved upon him with such fidelity, impartiality and fairness, that even his enemies cannot say aught against him. His past record is a guarantee that he will re- present the county in the next legisla- ture with credit to himself, honor to the county and benefit to his constitu- ency. He should and will be elected by a handsome majority.

Lack of Civic Pride @

Many tourists using the public camping grounds here in St. Johns say they are ideally locat- ed, but are about the most poorly regulated found along the route.
 There are no coAveniences such as toilets, hydrants etc., and the grounds are very uns&nitarY as no one in particular seems to have charge of the place and thus the refuse and debris is al- lowed to accumulate from day to day until at the present time the grounds are almost filthy.
 There should be at least one hYdrart on the grounds so that the traveller could obtain good drinking water and good toilet should be built.
 A system of regulations should be adopted for the guidance of the campers. and copies of same posted up around the grounds. There may be regulations now; there is none posted up, and the disposition of garbage is left to the more orderly.
 The upkeep of this small spot of ground would be nominal and if the town cannot afford it then a small fee could be charged each camper, just enough to cover ex- penses and thus a good clean camp ground could be had.
 The cost of these various im- provements would be repaid many times by the benefit the town would receive from a great CT patronage of the camping grounds. If they spend their money with us a little better in good camp grounds is due them.
 There is nothing for us to boast about in our free camp grounds. We should be ashamed of them. They advertise our slOthfullness, our carelessness of sanitation, and our indifference and contempt for the traveller.

J. A. MINER

no man in our community stands higher in the confidence and es- teem of our citizens, than J. A. Mineer, candidate for sheriff. He is just closing his first term as deputy sheriff and has so faithfully and impartially dis charged the duties of his office, hat we predict for him an im- mense vote on the End day of November. Mir. Mineer is one of Apache county's home products and has always been true and loyal to the democratic party and should be supported by every democrat.

The Vernon Line Up

There is quite lot of talk in Apache county about what is called, The Yer non Line Up. The name Vernon in- cludes Vernon, Pineyon and Floy. They are all one precinct with different poll ing places. The two questions which are being asked, are; First, Why did the Vernon voters get into line? Se- cond, Who lined them? A little ex- planation will not be out of order at this time.
 To the first question the reply is, the people were sore because they felt they had been ignored, that they had not received their just dues. The spirit of it was in the air. Rumor said there was a community line up. AS the voters rode to the polls. they asked. 'Ts there a community ticket?" When answered in the affirmative they said, we are with you. Who are the can- didates?
 It made no difference how loud we called, no one could hear us. So thought it might be wise to shoot few wireless ballots, and see if they were heard. The only county official who gave the Vernon people real attention was the assessor. He was always on the job.
 To the second question the answer is, Vernon stepped into line by herself. We sacrificed friends and relatives to what we called the common cause. We considered that any of the candidates were capable of filling the offices. We had the right to choose, so we exer- cised that right. We selected the most popular candidates and voted for them. No one from the outside had anything to do with getting us into line. More than that no one from the outside knew that we were lining. Had we have taken any nonresident into our conf- dence it would have been detrimental
 The word blame should not enter into the minds of the people, there was nc one to blame. But if we must blame somebody then let us blame William Jennings Bryan, the demodratic goat for the entire United States.

1t is lawful for women to be candidates for
national delegates in Illinois, but they cannot
vote at the presidential primaries next month,
oven for themselves The matter was decid ~
nois supreme court ruled upon a petition Of
mandamus to compel the Sangamon county
clerk to print upon the ballots for women the
names Of candidates for delegates to national
nominating conventions In making the ruling
the court said:
What is commonly known as the woman s
suffrage statute authorized women to vote at
elections for candidates for certain Offices
named in the statute. The primary election
law gives women the right to vote at primary
elections for the nomination Of candidates for
such officers as they may vote for at the cleo
ton for which the primary is held Candi-
dates for delegates to the national conventions
and party committeeman are not nominated
but are elected at the April primaries. The
legislature could have authorized women to
vote for the election OF delegates to the ma
tional conventions and for party committee
men. II it did not do SO, and whether this
was intentional or not, it is not within the
province Of the courts to read into the statutes
something not expressed or necessarily i'm
piled. The remedy is with the legislature"
That decision was made four years ago
The legislature in the meantime has not seen
women who are disappointed in their wish to
| take part in the coming presidential primaries
they know where to place the blame.

DORIS.

DOkIS,
Though etymOlogistS do not di-
rectly connect Doris with Dorothy,
and some believe that she is mere
ly modern version Of a FEMININE
fancy for a name a tritle out of the
ordinary, it is impossible to believe
that her source was not identical
with Dorothea and that strange but
correct reversal Theodore.
Such being the case, Doris comes
from one of the early Christian
Greek names, notably Thekla. St.
Thekla was said to have been a
disciple of st. Paul and to have
been exposed to lions at Antioch.
Instead Of tearing her to pieces,
they crouched at her feet, but
nevertheless she was considered
the first virgin martyr, and no
higher praise is possible for q
woman than to compare her to St.
Thekla.
From Thekla came the French
Tecla and then. through the east
ern church, Theodore, signifying
divine gift" and, much later, the
incorrect Dorothea.
There have been two St. Theo-
