During the pre-prmary campaign County At

candidates speaking here DAD always quickly re-

dates and in doing he showed the proper spirit In
cidentally, he the man who introduced DR.. B. B.
Moeur, now the Democratic candidate for Governor.
Moeur spoke here on the night of August 25
Arrangements for the Moellr meeting were made
by Duane Bird and the publisher Of The Internation-
al. Bird Chief Of Police J. j. Lowe, Thurman Robert
Fleischer, Dave Wlkey and the international editor
were among the few with whom Doctor Moeur was
acquainted in this county. Thurman knew him years
ago when he used to play ball in Tempe, Doctor
Moeur's home town Duane Bird was Moeur's cam
paign manager in this county. A. E. Sanders Of Pig
gy Wggly was of his main local boosters and got
family in this county to bring in 81 Votes for him.

speak here and there was time only to get out 500
handbls announcing his meeting. There was no news
paper advertising for that meeting and none in his
behalf in this county during his entire campaign.
On the night Of Doctor Moeurs speech at the
courthouse only handful of persons heard him. Less
than 40 were present Many remained away from the
meeting in the belief he had no chance of being elect
ed. Meetings Of candidates whom they thought We're
sure of being nominated were we'll attended
Already, some local Republican leaders, alarmed
over the strength Doctor Moeur showed at the prin
aries are circulating false reports in hopes of pre-
venting Moeur from carrying Santa Cruz county in
November. One report is that he is Mormon. THIS
is UNTRUE. He is church man, but not Mormon
However, his professional practice has been confn
ed to some extent to Mormons who are his neigibors
and they love him as do other folks who know him
Even if he we're Mormon that would be nothing a.
ganst him The Mormons good people. Whether q
candidate is Mormon, Catholic Protestant, should
cut no figure in political campaign

Contest For Chairmanship

Before the count of ballots at Tuesdays primary
was completed contest had developed for chairman
ship of the county Democratic central committee,
which will meet next Friday to organize.
Two well known Democrats-Frank J. Duffy, in
cumbent, and Tracy Bird-seek to be chairman. Both
are good men,
The international sincerely hopes that the rivalry
for the chairmanship will not become so heated as to
leave any bad after effects. More than before,
harmony is needed among the members of the commit
tee if the entire Democratic ticket is to be put in
November.
To us it seems that far more important than who
is to be chairman is the selection of capable man to
manage Democratic county headquarters and act as
campaign manager The campaign manager should be
ive-Wire, good organizer who will devote the
next six or weeks working for the election of
the ticket as whole Such person should put in all
of his time at that work and should be paid for his
services.
So far as the craftsmanship is concerned that hon
should first be offered to Charley Hoer who poll
ed the highest vote of any of the committeeman. If
Holler doesn't want it. then the committeeman should
get together and consider available timber, weigh
cry angle, and select chairman, if possible, who has
always voted the straight Democratic ticket and al
ways worked for the success of the entire ticket
In the campaign that we are now approaching,
county candidates will have to foot the bill Wouldn't
be advisable to consult those candidates and learn
who they prefer for the chairmanship? Let's settle
this charmanship racket harnoniously

Paw The Election Officials More!

1t is the intention Of the board Of supervisors,
controlled by Republicans, to pay each election Off
cial at Tuesdays primary only $5. Whether this
mount will be increased will be decided by the board
within the next few days.
The election officials, particularly those in the
three Nogales wards, where there big vote are
entitled to more than the little sum Of S..
Officials in Wards Nos. l and 2 this city, worked
all day Tuesday and all night Tuesday night ard those
night and al day Wednesday up to $50 o. In Ward
3 one or two officials were overcome by fatigue
The supervisors made bad mistake by not hav-
ing two voting places in Ward and surely they Will
see their mistake and split up that ward for the No
vember election Election officials forced to work Sc
hours continuously without any sleep are Liable to
make mistakes in tabulating returns.

73 Years Old

Thus spoke Governor George w. P. Hunt when
asked at Phoenix, Thursday if he would not consider
becoming acandidate again two years from now
There is something pathetic in that repy-com-
ing from Arizonas grand old man who is getting up in
years and who apparently feels that because of the
ent factor in Arizona politics are nearing an end.
But George w. P. Hunt will always be out
standing man this state, regardless of whether he
ever seeks office again. Perhaps never again will this
state have that will equal his record for the
number of terms served as governor.

GUNS ROAR AT
BETHANY BEACH
AS GUARD DRILLS
Troops Go Into Field For
Their First Day Of
Training
NEW EQUIPMENT T
Many New Improvements
Have Been Added Since
Last Year

The roar of gunfire re-echoed over
the sand dunes of Bethany Beach
early Monday morning as the entire
19Sth Coast Artillery, A. A., Della
ware National Guard, moved into the
field for the first day of actual field
training at the camp at Bethany
Beach.
The model 1918 trailer mount
three-inch guns were placed in To-
cation just east of camp, with the
dunes between them and the ocean.
Emplacement of the six-inch guns,
two for each gun battery, was COM
pleted Sunday. The shots fired were
celebration shots, one or two from
each gun, fired as trial shots to set
tie the guns, gauge their accuracy
and give them thei rannual test.
Machine gun batteries moved to
location on the beach east of camp,
firing out over the ocean, using the
,000-foot range. The searchlight
battery drilled and Master Sergeant
Fred L. Manic ntoOk the rockies out
on the field west of camp to drill
them in the manual of arms and
formations, under the
general direction of Captain Horace

JULY BUSINESS
WAS NOT so BAD
Follows Closely Checkered Course Of
Midsummer Month OF Past

The month of July has followed
quite closely the checkered course
of most July months in the past.
Alternating shades of black and
white in the business and financial
picture have attracted close study.
"If present gains hold" said one
bank executive, "the average man
may feel like buying that new suit
of clothes. Business should improve.
But it's natural to hold new pur-
chases down to the minimum until
the public finds just how business,
and itself, are going to stand"
Among the darker shades have
been the following:
The latest available carloading
statement stood at 5O4,094 cars
against 518.409 for the correspond
ing week one month ago, a decrease
of 2.7 per cent. Electric power pro-
ductiOn for the week last reported
declined 1.9 per cent.
On the bright side were listed these
items
The bond market. as shown by the
Associated Press-Standard Statistics
averages, moved up 10 per cent in
average price level during July. The
more speculative stock market ran
up about 80 per cent. Wheat prices
rallied about per cent and cotton
prices gained about the same. Aver
age hog prices held steadily to their
price gains scored during June.
The recent rush of foreign capital
to convert dollar balances into Eu-
ropean currencies has passed. with
a return flow developing in this di-
rection.

SAY MOONSHINERS

Prohibition Agents Find
Sour Mash In Huge
Plant Near FELTON,
NO ARRESTS MADE

Dozens of visits to woods in the
lower part of the State by prohibi-
ton agents has worried moonshin-
ers to such an extent that they are
abandoning elaborate distilling
plants.
Another indication that abandon
ment of the plants rather than ex-
pensive dismantling and running
the chance of arrest while trans
porting the equipment to a new To-
cality. has been decided upon, is af-
forded by the seizure last week of
two one hundred gallon stills.
The seizure was made by two
prohibition agents in a woods near
FELTON,. The stills were fully equip
ped and the plant included four 500
gallon watts and eight so gallon fer
menters. The watts contained about
900 gallons of rye mash.
The agents found that the mash
had turned sour. This indicated that
the outfit had been abandoned for
some time.
The agents also seized a SO gallon
still in a woods about three miles
west of FELTON,, together with 70 fifty
gallon fermenters and one 400 gal
Ion vat.
In a nearby woods the agents
found two ten gallon kegs of liquor.
No arrests we're made.
