KELLAM STANDS FOR
PEOPLES INTERESTS


If elected supervisor next Tuesday,
and my friends assure me | will be,
will give my best efforts to the
whole county and not to any clique
or Glass;" declares Joe Kellam, candi-
date for supervisor in district No. 2
which includes all of Flagstaff south
of Aspen avenue and the country
south.
Joe Kellam's life has been a stren-
uous one since he started out at the
age of ID years. -Four years were
spent in the university at Muskogee,
Indian territory. An injury made it
necessary for him to move to Arizona
for his health, where by his own aided
efforts he became a business success.
He made his first stake in Yavapal
county where he built roads under
contract and also engaged in freight
ing heavy mining machinery. Later,
some Is years ago, he came to Coco
nino county, went into the cattle busl-
ness and is now rated as one of the
most successful men in that line of
business. He says it was hard work
that brought him success. Those who
know him best add that good business
Judgment was not one of the lesser
reasons for his success.
Joe Kellam is a public spirited citi-
zen and progressive one. Several
years ago when school funds were low,
he voluntarily loaned the school fund
money without interest for the con-
struction Of a school building in his
district in order that the children in
his neighborhood might have the
school advantages at once instead Of
waiting a couple years. This is only
one Of the many things of the kind
done by him but which only few
know about Joe Kellam.
Since he started out in life at the
age Of IA, he has always conducted a
business of his own except for a few
short months during his early years
struggle.
Mr.. Kellam frankly states that he
has no axe of his own to grind in
seeking the office, no. special friends
to reward or enemies to punish He
believes in a broad, far seeing pro-
gram of road building that will even
tually bring about a permanent sys-
tenn, one that can be kept up most eff
fectively at the least expense to the
taxpayers. He has paid the county IN
taxes since coming here approximate
| ly $4,000, consequently is interested
in saving the taxpayers money and
demanding results, dollar for dollar
expended.
Kellam declares that he believes in
being loyal to his county, in doing
business here and in patronizing those
who live and make their homes here;
it is his idea Of making a live pro-
gressive and thriving community.
"If elected l shall feel it my duty
to represent the people of the county
and will willingly take them into my
confidence on any problem our people
have to solve; my best interest car,
only be that which is for the best of
all the people" declares Joe in speak
ing of his ideas in the conduct of the
office of supervisor.
Joe is a diamond in the. rough
the better you know him the better
you like him." is the staunch state
ment of his many friends.
The closer a man is the more dis
tant his feelings are.

LAFOLLETTE ORATOR
ENDORSES GOV. HUNT

"It is the intention of the LaFollette
and Wheeler forces in Arizona to
throw the vote they control in this
state to George wv. P. Hunt for COVER
nor"
This statement was made in Phoenix
in the course Of a speech delivered on
the afternoon of Monday, October 13,
by Benjamin G. Marsh, managing di-
rector of the Farmers council and a
member Of the national LaFollette-
Wheeler speakers bureau.
OF course Senor McCluskey, loud
speaker for the state administration
has denied most vehemently that there
was any sort of a frame up between
the Hunt and LaFollette forces, but
in the face of the gentleman's denial
we must insist that Senator LaFoHette
is too smart a politicians and too goOo
a trader to send a. national speaker
into Arizona to endorse Hunt unless
there was something in it for LaFol-
lette. w
That a bargain was snlade between
the Hunt group and the LaFollette
supporters at least two months ago
we firmly believe and the words quot
eel from the speech OF MI. MdIsH III
dicates to our mind that Senator La
Toilette is keeping his part of the bar
gain. The Hunt crew in the meantime
has been smoked out by Dunbar's
Weekly and have feebly yelped their
endorsement of John W. Davis, so it
would appear that in the long run all
Senator LaFollette will have to show
for his trade with Hunt and McClus-
key is experience. .-Dunbar's Weekly.

GRAND CANYON P. 7. A.
ENTERTAINS TEACHERS

One of the most delightful and
successful of the seasons social af-
fairs at Grand Canyon was the enter
tainment and reception rendered by
the Parent Teachers association to the
local school teachers, Miss Rosa
White and Miss Pauline Jones. The
reception, arrangements for which
were in charge of Mrs. M. r. Tillot-
son, chairman Of the program commit
tee, was held on October "a at the
Grand Canyon school house which was
beautifully and tastefully decorated
for the occasion.
In a short but very appropriate adj
dress Mrs. Elmer Nelson, president of
the Grand Canyon p. 7. A, welcomed
the new teachers to the school and to
the community, thanking them for the
interest they have taken in the devel-
opment of school affairs and the very
effective manner in which they have
gained the confidence of the children
in their charge. On behalf of the
school board, Mr.. Hubert Lauzon. in
few we'll chosen words, voiced SINH
lar sentiments and emphasized the
value of and necessity for co-opera-
ton of parents, teachers, school board
and community to the end that school
affairs may be conducted to the best
interests Of all concerned.
Games and guessing contests were
followed by the headline feature" of
the entertainment section of the pro-
gram, a burlesque in pantomime of
the dramatic and romantic adventures
of Lord Lochinvar who came out of
the west Ton broomstick horse) and
disrupted entirely the well laid plans
of a certain bridal party. The cos
tunes worn during the enactment OF
this playlet by some Grand Canyons
(hitherto) most dignified citizens
were, to say the least, most startling
in their effect If judgment may be
based on applause received and mer-
riment provoked, it seems that the
play was an entire success.
Refreshments of ice cream and cake
were served to the rs members and
guests, after which the balance of the
evening was spent in dancing.
