CANT HURT ANYONE
 BY VOTING FOR ME-

Tom L. Rees candidate for re- election to the office of Clerk of the Superior Court has no opposition, and hence, as he puts it "the voters can't hurt anyone by voting for me" There's pretty good reason why the voters are not permitted to hurt any one by voting for Tom, and that is the fact that none cared to make the race against him. The fact of the matter. is that Toms courteous and prompt service. have made him so solid with the voters of the county that anyone who may have had aspir- ations for this office has forgotten them in the realization of the fact that it would be useless to try to beat Tom Rees.
 Ohio claims Tom Rees as a citizen by birth but he forsook good old Ohio for dearer Arizona, in the year 1905. About all that Tom has ever tried to learn thoroughly is book keeping and clerking and that ex- plains why he is such an efficient official in the office of clerk. He finished his schooling in the Normal School in Ohio after which he spent several years with prominent business firms in Cleveland. On coming to Arizona he accepted a position with, Campbell & Francis as bookkeeper. In this way he became acquainted

G0CONINO NEEDS 4 SENATOR WITH EXPER
 IENCE AND ABILITY

The many very important matters which will come before the next ses- sion of the Arizona Legislature make it very necessary that Cocon1no County have a senator of exper1ence in legislative matters and also man of strong influence with his fellow senators. There is the Armory build ing in Flagstaff, which needs further assistance to clear up a few remain ing obligations and to complete it's eauipment The Northern Arizona Normal School which has become one of the important educational insti- tutions of the state will need further appropriations for maintenance and additional Improvements. The far mers and stockraisers need a man in the senate who will look well to their interests, and greatest of all there IS the proposed development of the Colorado. An endorsement of one or other of the various proposed sites for a dam, by the legislature, will bear much weight with the Federal Power Commission. It will need a man of strong influence in the sen ate to get fair hearing for the pro- posed site at Lees Ferry.
 Such a man is Hugh E. Campbell, the democratic nominee for state senator His ability and his influ- ence in the legislature have been we'll proven by his former record while a member of the State Senate. He Secured an appropriation for three buildings for the Northern Arizona Normal School the cost of which was in excess of three hundred thousand dollars. This was a great victory for ,Coconino county in consideration of the strong opposition which some of the southern counties have had to .the upbuilding of this Normal. MT. Campbell also secured the appropria tion of S25, ,OOO for the Williams Clarkdale road, and it was through no fault of his that the money was not spent there Among the other legis- lation which he played a major part fn securing are the following: Senate Bill No. 16O, an act giving the State Land Commissioner power

JUDGE J. E. JONES
 ASKS SECOND TERM

Judge J. E. Jones is a candidate for reelection to the office of Super for Court Judge of Coconino County.
 This is his first term, and he is asking for a second.
 It is useless to say that he is know n to almost every voter of this county, and has friends in every nook and corner. Everyone, it matters not, rich or poor, receives like treatment
 at his hands.
 He is regarded as among one Of
 the ablest lawyers in the State of Arizona, and before his election to the bench, had built up fine practice in his profession Since he has been Judge of this county he has presided often in other courts through the state, and tried some of the most difficult and intricate cases, and given entire satisfaction whenever he has tried cases for other Judges His decisions have been tempered with mercy, and based on the law and he is recognized as one of the most con- servative, conscientious and careful Judges in the state.
 S1nco enCeTlIlS upoil IHS OuSiOS' O' this office he has devoted his entire time working early and late. The court business for the past few years has increased wonderfully, and Judge Jones has labored hard to keep up the work, and while some Judges of the state have taken their vacation, he has kept right at his court duties. His steadfastness to duty has often been tested and he has neither falter- ed nor hesitated in his duties. His friends know that he is honest and and will not serve for friend or foe, and he has but one guide, and that is the law. He has since he entered upon the bench made a record of which any man should be proud, and it is but Justice to him that the good people of this County should give him a second term.

OLD TIME SHERIFF
 WOULD SERVE AGAIN

Where were you forty years ago | About half of the people residing on 1 this terrestial globe today cannot i answer that question for want of knowledge. Some say that the young
 CT part of the present generation was floating around the stars and angels waiting their cue to enter the great drama on Earth. However that may
 be, their were no angels lowering around the rough trail that John w.
 Francis was following forty years
 ago on his way to Coconino county
 although there were Indians aplenty.
 The railroad stopped at Winslow and
 that meant walking for the remain der of the Journey.
 The lack of a railroad to this part of the state gave MT. Francis his first work here, that of making ties for the railroad which came through shortly after his arrival. In 'S4 MT. Francis was appointed deputy sheriff under the Yavapai sheriff, what is now Co., conino then being part of Yavapai county. He held that position for four years. John admits that life in CIlOSS OdyS was oOIlCWllsAI CANllAAS>- There was little rest for a deputy sheriff, but aplenty of danger, hard riding and enough gun play to. keep a man in practice.
 In 1891, after Coconino county was divorced from Yavapai, MT. Francis was elected sheriff of Coco nino. Six hundred votes were boiled at the first election. He was au ac- tive sheriff, always on the job, and made a good record. After his time was out in the office of sheriff, MT. Francis followed the lumber business for several years and later engaged ;n farming. He is now one of the big spud growers in the vicinity of Flag staff.
 John Francis ability to perform the duties of sheriff promptly and is undoubted. He proved | himself an able sheriff in days when 1 that was a much more difficult job. than it is today. As an old resident | who has proven himself a useful citi- zen and a supporter of the best inter !! ests of Coconino county, he solicits | the support of the voters at the Polls | November 2. He promises, if elected | to give the county an efficient and | economical administration of the 1 Sheriff's office.

GENE EPHELAN COLLECTS
 VOTES FOR RECORDER

Eugene Phelan, known to his
 friends as "Gene", democratic non1i-
 nee for the office of County Recorder,
 is working hard on the job of collect : ing votes for deposit in the ballot i boxes on November 7th., when the
 finals in the biennial candidates der by are to be run off. Judging by the handsome vote Gene got at the pri-
 maries, he has a good cargo of votes already lined up.
 Gene believes he can make a good. County Recorder. His friends insist
 that to say he will make good re
 corder is putting the matter eonserv-
 atively. He has shown his ability in.
 each of the jobs which he has tackled
 heretofore and there is no doubt that
 his ability will measure up to all the,
 requirements of efficiency in the re
 corder's office.
 The stork left Gene at happy
 home in New Mexico thirty one years
 ago. It is supposed that the stork got
 wing tired and did not complete the journey to Arizona as per instruc- tions and so Gene and his parents fin 1SIlCo I11dC II1p e1OOoI ySSIS They came first to Williams where Gene spent some eight years gather ing knowledge from the Williams pub lie school. Later he accompanied his parents to Flagstaff and there con tinued his schooling. Later he spent three years in college work in Los Angeles. After completing his schooling he worked for a time at the Grand Canyon. Later he re turned to Flagstaff where he engaged in the undertaking business. He performed the last sad rites for lot of people but found this work little too depressing for his active spirit and hopes to be given a position in which he can serve those who are still numbered among the living as will be the case if he is sent to the, Recorders Office.
 Of course Gene is a democrat like most other real live wide awake young men of today. This is further proof of his ability to keep things right up to date as is necessary to the efficient conduct of the Recorders office. He is fine young fellow and the voters cannot do better than to place him iTs charge of the office to which he as pires When all the offices are put in the hands of equally as efficient and earnest men, popular government will achieve yet greater success The voters will be assured of efficient service, courteous treatment and a square deal to all at the Recorders Office, if they place Gene Phelan Kza charge.

L0Y, SUCCESSFUL FARM
 ER FOR CO. SUPERVISOR

Anyone who knows anything about Coconino county will readily admit that farming in this section is not a snap. There are many difficulties to be overcome, such as poor country roads, uncertain rainfall and severe winters This is true yet today, and it was true to a yet greater extent ten, twenty and thirty years ago. Any man who has made success of farm ing in Coconino county for period of thirty years, has thereby proven himself to be industrious and to pos sess good business ability. The voters of the county will do well if they keep the affairs of the county in the hands of men of this type. Such man is John Loy, democratic nomi- nee for County Supervisor in District No. 2.
 Mr. Loy is one of the earlier sett- lers of this county. He began his life here as farmer and he has con- tinued in that occupation during his thirty years of residence here- His farm is located in Munds Park Through his long residence in this
  ledge of the affairs and the needs of the county, such as are possessed by few men in the county. He is straight forward in his dealings with his fel- low man and of unimpeachable in tegrity. His election to the office of Supervisor from District No. would complete a trio of men in charge of the supervision of the affairs of the county, which would give the various industries of the county representa- ton while placing the county ad- 1ninistration in unusually efficient hands The Williams district is al- ready represented by w. c. Kitten house the ''holdover" from the last election. Flagstaff will receive rep resentation thru MT. Taylor of Dis trict No. l. The election of MT. Loy will secure representation for the far rr,ers and stock,nen of the county.

R. F. TAYLOR FOR SUP-
 ERv|S0R, 1ST DISTRICT

In Robert E. Taylor, democratic candidate for the office of County Su- pervisor of District No. 1, the voters of the county are offered man of proven business ability. MT. Taylor is one of the proprietors of the Sulll- van & Taylor Furniture store and Mems Furnishing Store. He has been a resident of the county since 1907 during which time he has helped to build up the large business of that firm. In addition to this he is the owner of considerable farm land and other property so that he is vitally interested in seeing that the county gets a full one hundred cents value for every dollar raised by taxation He is a man of family, his wife and children residing with him at their home in Flagstaff, and feels very keen interest in schools and the pro- gress of the county.
 One of the big needs in the devel- oprent of this county is better roads for the farmers and this is one of the things which MT. Taylor hopes to se- cure for the farmers if he is elected. He believes that good schools and good roads are of first imporance in the development of this country. He wishes to see both improved but at the same time will, if elected, en- deavor to get these improvements thru careful expenditure of county sunds rather than by increased taxa ton. His own business success is due in large measure to his careful ness in all business matters and he hopes to use the same careful busi- ness methods in helping to administer the affairs of the county,
 Having been born in Tennessee, MT. Taylor's democratic inclinations are a result of birth as well as of convic- tions. He hopes to receive the solid support of the democrats of the coun- ty, and many others who have not yet come to know the satisfaction of democratic beliefs, have nevertheless declared their intention of support
