ism trials In California, is now on

warden, whom he shot while lead
ing an unauthorized liquor raid in

SIX CANDIDATES
FOR
HIGH PRESIDENT

Spirited competition is prevalent at
the high school as the candidates for
the important office of the student
body president are waging a friendly
but heated campaign in favor Of their
favoriteS.
Six boys were nominated at the
assembly yesterday by their campaign
managers and all are strong in some
line or lines of school activity.
'Baggy" NcCord, next seasons foot
ball captain, was nominated by Henry
Borcherding, while ClintonF Cary, ten
mis- and football star, was nominated by
Paul Causey.
Arthur Prescott, honor student and
debater, was placed before the stu
dents as a candidate, and Lee Boden-
hammer, football player and the hero
of the recent Junior play, Deacon
Dubbs," was also named as. a candi-
date.
James McKinnon, hurdler, football
and basket ball letterman and prom
inent in the Copper Kettle managerial
staff, was named by Frances Nemeck
Harry Demo- basket ball letterman
and cartoonist on the Copper Kettle
staff, was the first nominee to be
placed before the student body.
The entire SeXtet are strong in favor
of the student body and very close
election is likely to result. The girls
of the school failed to name a candi-
date of the feminine sex, as was ex-
pected on the eve of the nomination
assembly.
Placards announcing the strong
points of the candidates are already
making their appearance around the
school and comment among the stu
dents is rife as the election day is
near. Balloting will be on Friday.
There is a possibility that a primary
election will be held to narrow the
number of candidates to two or three.

FORMER EMPLOY
LOCAL SMELTER
dies in FRANCE

A story in the New York Times
of May telling of the death of
William Earl Dodge, of New York,
in a Paris hotel is of interest to
Douglas residents due to the fact
that Dodge formerly made his home
here in 1903 and 1904 while employed
at the old Copper Queen smelter.
Cleveland E. Dodge, an uncle, was
a director for the Copper Queen,
and young Dodge was sent to the
smelter to learn the business. He
worked in the assay office and also
in the repair gang. He was a
popular fellow and many Douglas
residents will remember him. He
later worked in Morenci for Gus
Hunt
These facts were recalled yester-
day by James S. Douglas, who had
also seen Dodge since the World
war. Dodge served as captain
during the war and went over the
top several times, Douglas stated.
Dodge was interested in aviation
and speed boat racing and during
the early months of the war con-
Quoted upon his own initiative two
aviation schools. one at Jacksonville,
Fla, and one at Newport, r. L
He served in France with the 77th
division. Prior to the war he had
served as an attache at the American
embassy in Rome.
Death was due to congestion
brought on as the result of minor
liver complaint. He died without
regaining consciousness. He was 43
years old.
