MODERNISM WINS
 VILLAGE ELECTION
FundamentaliSt Candidate De-
 teated at Clarence, Mo.

Clarence, Mo, April LP This little Shelby county village was again functioning normally today after one of the most exciting cleo lions in its history,
 Tahulation of votes cast in ves- terday's election showed J. c. Mau- pin, modernist candidate for mayor. victorious over his opponent, L. J. Peterman, fundamentals, by majority of 110 votes. The final count stood 365 to 255.
 Instead of the usual political is. sues which dominate a pre-election campaign. the mayoralty election developed into religious contro. r6rsy in which the views of the populace toward modernism and tundamentalsm were aired. If the vote can be taken as an indicator the voters, in the majority, sympa- thi1a with modernism.
 It all came about after Maupin former Baptist preacher and local business man, announced that he would be a candidate for the mayors office. A few days after his announcement it was disclosed that h5 had led a group of students at William Jewell college in 1922 which petitioned the board of con- trol demcrding retention of Dr. A. Wakefield Staten, who had been busted from the school faculty for expression of what was termed too liberal views in interpretation of the Bible in his book, What Jesus Taught"
 When asked for q statement Maupin declared that his views were exactly the same as at the iime Of pr. Staten's removal and said that he would not retract from his stand. With this the vil- 1! lage tundamentalists rallied round Peterman, a retired farmer, and announced him as their candidate.
 The election drew nationwide attention and both candidates re- ce;Ved telegrams from points 1 throughout the entire country. | However, both denied that the i

election had developed Into a re. ligious controversy and steadfastly maintained that their purpose in seeking the office was to give Clarence good government and make this city q better place in which 10 live"
 In explaining his religious views Maupln said. As we look at it,

 She's no obstructionist," added Frank Cunningham. chairman of finances, dean of the assembly after v years In Tammany. "she hasn't oeen &bit of trouble"
 Although her logical fate was that Of being swallowed up. legisla- ti"ely speaking, Mrs. Pratt has stood out on many counts. The first Jay in office she introduced an emergency measure for a.

 She later proposed two local laws. One, 10 provide for the rewriting of New York's redundant charter; the other to amend 1t in regard to parks management. All three measures are now in committee. Mrs. Pratt is a member of the local laws com nlittee,

 She had nothing to gain from his lowly office, with no dignity and title power.

Holme, pageant master of the national
parks, who will direct the spectacle
that will bring to life all the romance
of the. states history.
The pageant will be presented by
the Arizona Pageantry association.
formed this year with a directorate
representing the entire state. AL
though the Casa Grande Pageant is
it's first object, the association p$ans
the gradual development of a state.
wide series of historical spectacles,
given at points of greatest interest,
which will serve as an all-year ma
tional tourist attraction. It's plan has
been greeted with enthusiasm wher-
ever it has been presented, and the
initial pageant is receiving the close
cooperation and support of cham
hers of commerce, civic clubs, espe-
cially-formed pageantry clubs, this
women's clubs, the Arizona Industrial
Congress and similar bodies.
In many respects the Casa Grande
Pageant will be the outstanding spec
tacle ever presented in the state Di-
vided into four episodes, portraying
respectively the prehistoric Indian
area the coming of the Spanish con-
quistadores and padres, the colorful
period of the American pioneer, and
the modern epoch, with its great ir.
rigation dams, gigantic mines, fast
growing industries and spreading
cities, the pageant will number some
300 people in it's cast. Drama, music,
dancing and tableaux will join ip re-
producing the past's most romantic
days.
The stage itself will be one OF the
ancient compounds of the Casa Grande
ruins officially termed the Casa
Grapde National Monument-which a
thousand years ago were the center
of cultivated Indian civilization;
which two and a half centuries ago
were visited by the first hardy Span
ish monks and soldiers and which to-
day are near the center of Arizona S
big irrigation project. The vivid days
of history will be repeated amid the
tall adobe walls which have seen cen
turies of history written at their very
feet, and the audience will sit in a
natural amphitheater that Holme
terms ideal for the purpose.
The pageant Will be statewide bon
in significance and attendance I,
will be given in full on each of the
three days, and besides thousands OF

KIWANIS CLUB
ASKS CLEMENCY
FOR ". VA. BOY

The Kiwanis club Of Douglas Thurs
day stepped into the front ranks OF
the many who are opposing the hang
ing of Adam Burress, a 15-year-old
hoy, at Welch, w. Va, by sending
a telegram to the governor of West
Virginia protesting the hanging and
requesting him to exercise executive
clemency in behalf of the boy. This
action was decided upon by the XII
wants club after the matter had been
called to their attention by people Of
the city who are trying to save thu
boy from the gallows.
The boy was convicted OF assault
upon a 9-year-old girl, after the
judge had instructed the jury not to
consider the boys age. The jury
returned conviction in nine minutes
and the boy is to be hanged some
time during September or Octobek
unless his sentence is committed The
telegram sent by the Douglas Kiwanis
club is as follows:
"To the Honorable Governor Of West
Virginia, Charleston, w. Va:
Newspaper articles stating that
Adam Burress, a 15-year-old boy Of
ellen, Va, mas Deen sentenced 70
be hanged have been brought to the
attention of our organization.
CAS- Americans, we consider our
selves the most enlightened people on
earth. When we deny minors the
right TO reform and kill them, wha,
are We? We feel sure that you do
not wish this blot on the record OF
your state and of our nation. There
fore, as Americans, and in the namH
of humanity, we beg you to exercise
executive clemency and prevent the
hanging of this youth.
