DAVIS SPEECH

INDEPENDENT business interests of
Il Arizona are lining up in solid pha-
lanx under the standard of democracy.
John w. Davis speech of acceptance
has done much to awaken the minds
of the people to realization of the
urgency of a change at Washington
and to solidify the strength of demo-
Gratis and Independents behind the
choice of the democratic national con-
vention.
Bankers, merchants, stockmen and
farmers, professional and business
men and women everywhere in Ari-
zona have sighted the dawn OF
brighter day through the candidacy
of Davis and Bryan and freely are ex-
pressing their allegiance to the true
and progressive and constructive prin-
ciples laid down by Davis in his ac-
ceptance declaration.
Since the publication of the Davis
address last Tuesday, Chairman Yer
non Vaughn of the state democratic
central committee has been showered
with expressions of confidence from
prominent voters from all parts OF
the state Here are few of the
statements which have been received
by him:
From Mulford Winsor, Yuma: fThe
speech of John w. Davis, democratic
presidential nominee is most satisfy
ing 1t holds small consolation for
predatory interests, but for legitimate
business, and for all who long for
government in which there shall be
no taint cf dishonesty; before which
men and women of all stations shall
be equal, and in which human rights,
expressed in practical terms, shall be
placed above the dollar won by fav-
oritism, it is indeed a bright ray OF
hope. Mr.. Davis straightforward, un-
equivocal, progressive utterances,
coupled with his public and profess
sional record, as disclosed by Senator
Walsh, should make clear the duty of
every true progressively every pro-
gressive voter who seeks results from
the casting of his ballot rather than
the mere voicing of protest-to vote
for Davis and Bryan. 1t should bring
home to the workingman and the far
mer the inescapable fact that vote
for LaFollette, however worthy a
statesman LaFSOllette himself may be,
will be merely vote for the perpet-
uation of Coolidge, the high priest CT
the privileged few. 1t should bring
home to the average citizen, business
and professional man, that the way to
prosperity is by the democratic course
enumerated by democracy's leader"
From James l.. Edwards, Yuma:
"John w. Davis speech of acceptance
confirms the faith of those who from
the first have held him to be the man
of the hour 1t should remove the
last gestige of doubt in the mind of
any democrat and fire with confidence
of every true progressive. 1t reveals
the standard bearer of democracy as
man of the highest ideals but withal
business man, an understanding
man, a man of determined purpose
in short leader. These are the quail
tiles demanded of this nations head.
They spell justice for the worker, for
the farmer, for the business man large
or small They spell integrity in gov
ernment, efficiency, economy and the
exaltation cf human rights. They
spell genuine progress and true pros
perity."

Election Information
Xxx

instructions for the guidance
of absentee voters as how to
proceed in casting their ballots
IN the primary election to be
held on September 9 have been
given by A. r. Lynch, assistant
to Attorney General John w.
Murphy
Qualified citizens who will
not be at home on election day
may now take the steps neces-
sary to casting their ballot at
that time, according to Mr..
Lynch.
The application for an absent
voters ballet may be filed at
any time within the 30-day per-
iod preceding the election, with
justice of the peace or with
the county recorder of the coun-
tyl of which the voter is a resi-
dent.
In ample time before the cleo
ton, and usually as soon as the
official ballots are printed, Mr..
Lynch explained, the county re-
corder mails an absent voters
ballot to the address given at
the time the application is
made. Enclosed with the ballot
is an especially designed envel-
ope in which the marked ballot
is to be returned to the county
recorder.
On receiving the ballot, the
voter goes before notary pub
lie or justice of the peace and
marks his preference. The bal
lot then is enclosed and sealed
in the envelope for it's return,
and is mailed after the voter
has subscribed to an oath
printed on the envelope.
The county recorder then files
the ballot, still sealed, until
election day. The sealed anvel-
ope then is taken to the voting
place Of the proper precinct.
The seal on the envelope is
broken and the ballot is dropped
into the voting box without in
spection. The law prescribes
that the absent voters ballot
must differ in color from that
used at the polling places.

ASK TWO MILLION FOR ROADS

New roads approximating in cost
nearly $2,000,O00 will be asked for
of the next Genera Assembly, ac-
cording to formal petitions which
already have been received by the
State Highway Commission, or no
tice Of which has been received by
the commission.
Sussex cOunty's requirements are
estimated at approximately $1,000,-
900; Kent county citizens are said
to have in mind certain stretches
which would cost about 100000,
and New Castle county is agitating
for roads that would cost about
$5OO,OOO.
The report of the State Highway
transaction. He left Mr.. Balls home
show surplus Of $150,0O0 to $780,
900, which would be sufficient to
build and arrange for the sinking
fund and interest on the amount re-
quired for new roads without taxing
the citizens of Delaware a penny.
It is figured the license fees impos-
ed on motor vehicles and the 2-cents-
a-gallOn gasoline tax would not only
meet all payments for present bond
issues, but would permit the state to
borrow about $2,000,000 more for
new roads.

Thursday Was Hottest Deem
Der Day in Americas in a
Dozen Years

To say the weather IS tickle is
putting it mildly. Here we arc al
most in the throes of one of the
worst freezes that the country has
felt in several years. according e.
the weather man, and only two days
ago, on December 18 we experience
ed according to the records o. Joe
Bryan, local weather prophet, the
hottest day felt in Americas in this
month in IL years. Tie thermom-
ter climed to 81 on Thursday and
earlier in the month on the 9th it
reached the same figure.
Mr.. Bryan has only been record
ing temperatures and rainfalls since
1913 and all the figures he gives
are within this II year period. Mr..
Bryan states that he has no records
of temperatures prior to 1918.
In 1922 the Thermometer reached
80 in the month of December, but
this was around the first of the
month. The next nearest approach
to the record climb of the thermom-
eter was recorded in 1917, when the
mercury climbed to 70
Rainfall for the month of Ccto-
Der, November and December is
way below the average, with the
Heaviest rains occurring the first
part of>this month, r1nring the De-
cember average to 2.33 inches. In
October only LOT inches fell, while
in November the best average Jupi-
ter Pluvius could reach was 81.
Mr.. Bryan states that tie average
for these three months should be
around 3 inches.
The Atlanta bureau forecasts a
drop in temperature 10 20 degrees
in that section before Sunday night.
Providing this prophecy IS cor ect
Mr.. Bryan says we can look for 4
low mean temperature around 81

Although, nearly normal temper

many days will elapse before wire

Meanwhile the toll of lives lost
from freezing are added to by the
fatalities from fires resulting from
overheated furnaces and stoves,
