"JUST AS SOON BE
 SHERIFF AS NOT"

LUST AS SOON BE
 SHERIFF AS NOT"
 So says Wm. J. (Billy) Null len, candidate for the demo cratic nomination for sheriff, 7, who was in Williams last Fri day. William is willing and now if the democratic voters are willing why Mullen will be the next democratic nominee for this important office.
 MT. Mullen is a contractor and builder by trade. Many Williams residents will remem- Der him as the genial man who built the Grand Canyon Drug store building number ot years back. Billy has made a success of his business all right but he feels that his greatest success so far was when he per suaded Miss Mary Bart, sister of our popular and accomodat- ing county recorder, Miss Irene Bart. to become Mrs. Mullen. Those who know Mrs. Mullen agree with him.
 There is no question about MT. Mullen's ability to hold down the job of sheriff. He has served as special deputy on a number of occasions, one of the occasions being when he was designated to guard Sim plicio Torrez.
 MT. Mullen came from Ohio originally but he has lived Tn Arizona for the past eighteen years and that as made him a thorough Arizonan. He has resided continuously at Flag staff for the past twelve years and has made a large number of friends who hope to see him win at the September primaries.
 This is the first time that MT. office. He solicits the support of the democratic voters Sep tember 12, and if nominated will do his very best to carry the democratic standard across the goal in November.
