over
San PEDRO IS
AGAIN IN USE

After six months of detouring be-
cause of washout of the highway
bridge at st. David, on the San
Pedro river, the Bankhead highway
between Tombstone, Benson and Vail
was open for through traffic over
the past weekend
Workmen Of the state highway
commission withdrew from the st,
David bridge late Friday and early
Saturday, the bridge, closed since
early last spring, was opened to
traffic. Motorists driving through
again found it unnecessary to detour
from Tombstone through Fairbank
and Sonoita to Vail, route which
is about 13 miles longer.
However, the persistent rain Of
Sunday night and Monday again
swelled the San Pedro river and
fear was expressed that the st. David
bridge would experience another
washout such as has frequently
occurred in the past.
If the present bridge weathers the
current wet spell, chances are that
the Bankhead highway will remain
open. The highway commission, iii
its $5,2OO,000 budget for the coming
year has appropriated $4,000 for
new concrete bridge at ST. David, to
be built during the year, although
no date for construction has as yet
been set.

nine ENTRANTS
ARE LISTED in
QUEEN CONTEST

The Douglas queen contest is still
anybody's race.
Last nights tabulation of coupons
cast at the chamber of commerce.
offices showed nine young women In
the race, Miss Ruth Meischer, teacher
IN the Douglas high school, leading
with IL votes. Miss Alice Mahoney
was second with seven votes. The
seven Others trailed along with from
Cne to four votes.
It was obvious that even an I'M
mentioned young woman could still
be easily rushed to the head Of the
list by little hard work on the
part of her supporters. 1t is exc
pected that the publication of the
names of the early entries will add
impetus to the race and spur the
vote collectors on to vigorous efforts.
Here they are:
Miss Ruth Meischer ........-.-.-.......-...... II
Miss Alice Mahoney ............................ z
Miss Edna Montgomery ................ 4
Miss Glendora Buckles ........... 2
Miss Eleanor Arthur, Miss Gerald
iue Davis. Miss Dolphene Larson, Miss
Evelyn Temple and Miss Annette
SCuppl OllS SdCH
One ballot was also east for Miss
Margaret Spar but the contest COM
mittee ruled it invalid because Mis-
Sparr is attending the University Of
Arizona and is therefore temporarily
resident OF Tucson. The commit
tee wishes it clearly understood that
all candidates for the title queen
Of Douglas" must be unmarried young
women, residents of Douglas.
The committee hopes that today's
balloting will bring several new con-
testantS into the race. With several
belated queen campaigns reported in
progress yesterday, in spite of rainy
skies, it is expected that the compe-
tition will be keen before the week
is over. A ballot coupon good for one
vote for the young woman you think
most attractive in Douglas appears
elsewhere in this edition. Similar
coupons will appear daily through
September %, when the contest
closes
The queen of Douglas" will have
the opportunity to measure her beau

against the qualities of some seven

elected queens will be selected by a
secret committee of Douglas citizens
and crowned queen of the seventh
annual Cochise county fair at the
annual queens. ball, September 26.

hegemony. A c. E. G. may have a
majority. but majority does not NEG
essarily mean hegemony. The 1ues-
ton Of hegemony is answered in the
sense of the attitude of eomrade 20
comrade, in the practice If taking
comrades into confidence, OF getting
together on basis of equality. Il is
the manner and spirit of working to-
gether which determines whether there
is hegemony in our Party or not. We
say, after this convention there will
be no such problems and issues and
that unity CAR be and will be achieved
n. the development of our Party, Of
all comrades, not only in the top, 1cr
maximum equal participation in the
task Ct building mass Communist
Party
What must the majority of the in
coming C. f. c. do toward 5his end?
In our opinion a big step has already
been taken in this direction. The fact
that in many districts the =. 2. C.'s
were composed on a basis different
from the proportion of strength in the
District Convention is a sign shat the
Party is moving forward. The fact
that the Party D. E. C.'s are now
largely composed on the basis of the
utilization of all constructive ele-
ments, rather than on the basis of the
arithmetical strength Of the conven-
ton, is to be welcomed as an auger
of unity We must work together,
dropping group attitudes. Our divis-
ion of work must not be on the basis
Of division in the past, but on the
basis of comrades being able to con-
tribute to q maximum extent. Only
this will help the growth of our
Party The Party must step forward
before the masses. The comrades ap-
pearing before the masses must be
chosen on the basis of ability, not on
the basis of groupings. The relations
in the development of our Party must
be on the basis of Communist to Com
munist, not on the basis of past pref
udices, not on the basis of past griev-
ances or past differences which no
longer exist.
