PETE PEMBERTON, A
WINSLOW PIONEER. is
OUT FOR CONSTABLE

Pete Pemberton, candidate Tor con-
stable of the Winslow precinct on the
democratic ticket, is resident OF long
standing in this community, and is
well-known among the old-timers, who
are lending every aid to Mr.. Pember
tons candidacy.
Mr.. PembertOn came to WlnSlOW 81
years ago, and has made this his
home ever since When this was a
cattle country, he was identified with
the stock interests, and rode the range
for many years for the large cattle
outfits. He was always faithful en-
ploye and gave the best of his years
to the building up the prosperity of
northern Arizona.
He has had considerable experience
as a peace officer also serving the
town as marshal back in the days
when to be marshal of western COW
and frontier town entailed great fear
Iessness and much hard work. Mr.
Pemberton acted as marshal four or
five years ago, part of the time as
night officer, and feels that his ex-
perience and capabilities as peace
officer justify his desire to serve the
people in the position for which he is
a candidate

life as a member of the lower house
of the legislature of 1921 Two years
later he was promoted to the post
of senator and has been ella county's
representative in the upper branch of
the legislature ever since. AS rep
resentative and senator he has ever
been fearless advocate of the right
of the masses as opposed to the might
of the classes.
Mr.. Claypool has a thorough knowl-
edge of the operation of public util-
tiles, for this subject has engaged his
attention for many years past in con-
nection with taxation studies. His
practical experiences, coupled with a
broad knowledge of state affairs Pc
cularily qualities him for the post of
corporation commissioner.
Mr.. Claypool polled one of the
largest votes in the primary election,
considering that he had three strong
opponents gainst him in the field.

Murphy for attorney general as be-
ing for anything but the best interests
of the people of the state of Arizona.
Mr.. Murphy's two years tenure of
office as attorney general has demon
Strated his worth in more ways than
one. His rulings have saved the tax
payers huge sums and this fact is
notably illustrated in the case of the
highway bill, the constitutionality OF
which was attacked in the supreme
court. Mr.. Murphy successfully de-
Tended the validity of the law with
the result that the state was enabled
to collect revenues approximating one
million dollars, representing the tax
on gasoline and the fees for motor
vehicle registration.
Mr. Murphy has shown his willing
ness to do all in his power toward
securing return of state funds on
deposit with the Central Bank of Phoe-
nix and other defunct institutions and
to this end he has entered a number
of actions against bonding concerns
and former public officials involved
in these transactions Mr. Murphy
has successfully defended the state
of Arizona and it's laws in three i'm
portant actions in the federal courts
the minimum wage, now before the
United States Supreme court; the
Arizona Eastern lease cancellation
case and the Postvale boil weevil in
junction proceedings.
In addition to this work, the at
torney general has written five hun
dred formal opinions; represented
the state in thirty civil actions in
superior court; has appeared in sixty
five criminal cases in the supreme
court in which only seven reversals
were given. His office has aided in
the trial of criminal cases in four
counties, conducting the entire Grim
inal calendar for one term in one
county. In addition to his duties as
attorney general, Mr.. Murphy serves
ex-officio as a member of the State
Land Board, the Board of Pardons and
Paroles, the State Certification Board,
the State Board of Health and the
Arizona Soldiers Land Settlement
commission.

MRS. FLANAGAN A
MOST ECONOMICAL
COUNTY RECORDER

The public, in a general way only,
is acquainted with the great import
ance of the work in the office of the
county recorder. Navajo county is a
large institution, twelve million dol
! lar business. In this office, the rec
ords of this wealth, the property of
our tax payers must be conscienti-
ously kept and must be kept in the
most painstaking, careful and correct
manner possible if the property rights
of our tax payers are to be perfect
! fully safeguarded.
| Neither does the public fully ap-
preciate the immense volume of bust
ness that passes through this office
annually. So far, this year, almost
! 1000 instruments-dee bills OF
sale, mortgages, contracts, leases, etc
/, have been duly recorded. Also, 5000
of electors have registered their in
tention to vote in this office.
/ We are going to assume that the
( office of county recorder is of utmost
! Importance and then it is our duty
as citizens to select recorder of
proven business and executive ability
absolute integrity, hard worker
capable of handling all business
promptly and an officer that will at
all times deal courteously and effici-
emily with the public.
/ Mrs Lucretia w. Flanagan has
handled this important work in the
/ most capable manner for the last two
years Read what the State Examiner
has to say
1.-THE books of this office are in
excellent condition as to accuracy
and appearance Former State
Examiner, H, o. Morrison (report
of August 16, 1920 stated that
/ the indexes of the various books
of record were in very poor shape,
as they had not been kept in al
phabetical order, thus making it
difficult to quickly locate name.
1t is recommended that these in
dexes be rewritten at as early a
date as possible. It is gratifying
to report that Mr. Morrison's rec
ommendation has been scrupul-
ously complied with. The indexes
are now so arranged as to afford
/ easy fSl0I6IC0 anu Tie I6duy ~
cation of practically all informa
| ton that may be desired. Fee
charges correspond with statu-
tory requirements"
4 Navajo county people no doubt read
the highly complimentary commenda-
tions from the patrons and business
/ men of the county which were publish
ed before the primary election. There
are no complaints or criticisms for
/ the very good reason that there have
been no grounds for such.
She has also conducted the office
in most economical maner, made it
more than self supporting. To date
this year, all expenses including
salaries have exceeded fees by only
$23100. A great deal of additional
work has been accomplished. For ex-
ample, an entire volume of deeds has
been recopied among other things
which would have brought over $1,000
in revenue if paid for. This work was
not required by law and Mrs. Flani-
gan did it for the sole purpose of max

Prices quoted in New York market
Saturday for Delaware apples Eangel
from S1.50 to $500 whereas the ives
tern fruit was offered at $2.25 to $2.75
The difference in the price is due tt
the extra cost of transportation.
The great assurance given commits
sion men by the fact that the fruit is
inspected has added nightly to the
attractiveness of Delaware apples. VI
until this year, when a buyer sought
apples he found western apples
graded A, B or C according to the
quality with the stamp of the United
States inspector on the boxes, attest
ing to what it contained There was no
going back of this stamp, because the
apples had to be as represented. But
this year, Delaware apples also bear
this stamp (that is those that were
so mspected). Consequently when a
buyer goes after apples he finds Della
ware apples besides western apples
and both marked with the govern
ment inspection stamp, so that its of
ten times just matter of fancy whe-
ther he takes Delaware or western ap-
pies, with the added attractiveness
that he may be able to buy Delaware
apples cheaper.
