The announcement published this
week by A. L. Bartlett as candi-
date for the office of Supervisor
will not be surprise to many who
have been in touch with this situa-
ton. 1t has been an open secret
for some weeks that representative
citizens in the district have been
urging him to enter the campaign.
AS Mr.. Bartlett is now complet-
ing his term as County Treasurer
and is prohibited by law from again
seeking that office, it has been
reasoned that his knowledge and
experience in the administration
of County business should continue
to be available in some capacity
and that this is the logical step for
him to take.
Mr.. Bartlett has been a resident
of Pinal County for "a years, hav-
ing hOmesteaded near Casa Grande
in 1912. He has been a property
owner and tax payer here con-
tinuously since that time. Although
alwa1s interested and active in
public affairs. his first candidacy
for public office was his successful
campaign for County Treasurer
four years ago. Since that time
he has devoted his time and efforts
entirely to the duties and respons-
bilities of that office, accomplish
tng outstanding results in the way
of revising the accounting system
and installing new indexes and
records in order that tax collections
and money accounting could be
handled more promptly and ac-
curately.

SECOND TOWNSEND
CONVENTION MEETS
HERE THIS MORNING

Much interest is being manifest
ed by Townsendites all over Arizona
in the second state convention
which is scheduled to be held in
Coolidge, today.
1t is expected a large number OF
Townsendites will be in Coolidge
for this protest meeting. 1t is
claimed that a majority of Town
sendites in Arizona are opposed to
the manner in which the first state
convention, held at Phoenix recent
ly was conducted.
Call for the Coolidge convention
to be held here tomorrow was is
sued by A. B. Lee, president OF
Pinal County Townsend Club NO
/. The deliberations here today
will be in Legion Hall in North
Main Street.
The call issued by President Lee
was signed also by Mrs. ]. ].
Butterfield, Chas. Elledge and ".
c. Dobson, committeeman, and was
attested by Secretary Bonnie Brown
of Coolidge.
The attitude of State Aera
Manager o. A. Soholm in conduct
ing the state convention held at
Phoenix has aroused many of the
Townsendites to the point of dis
senting. At the Phoenix conven-
ton Judge M. T. Phelps of Mari.
copa County was endorsed for Con-
gress to succeed Congresswoman
Isabella Greenway, and this action
seems to be the main bone of con-
tention of the dissenters.
Soon after the Phoenix conven-
ton had endorsed Judge Phelps
William Coxon, of Casa Grande, an
nounced his candidacy for the con-
gressional toga independent of
Townsend support.
1t is expected that the convcn-
ton to be held in Coolidge TO-
today will be full of interest,
especially to Townsendites, and to
some candidates who have been
counting on their support.

Twelve Long Years
"In 1929 the debauch of the Cool

long years" of Hamiltonian exploita-
ton were over. The dance was end
ed at last The gaunt pipers of bank
ruptcy, starvation and unemploy-
ment had come to claim their fee.
"One sudden blast of wrath from
outraged truth and decency and
honor and prudence and thrift and
common sense-and the tinsel
tower of false dreams, false pride,
false promises and false hope col
lapsed in irretrievable ruin and
dreary desolation.

and they had wiped out half the
values accumulated in this nation
since Christopher Columbus, and
half the total income of all the peo-
pie of these United States.

We did not dare to breathe a
prayer
Or to give our anguish scope;
Something was dead in each OF

And what was dead was hope.

assumed the heaviest burden that

Washington knelt in the snow and

Webb Dancing
With Joan

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 11.-Three
Of the most famous names in
revue dancing will combine their
talents in the interest Of perfect
terpsichore for the new Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer picture, "Ele-

Two are, Of course, Joan Craw-
ford and Clifton Webb, represent
ing the peak Of stage and screen
artistry.
The third is Sammy Lee, as
well known to Hollywood rehear-
sal halls as New York, who was
signed by M-G-M this week to
stage the dance numbers for the
important new picture.
Lees abilities are well known
at Metro oldwyn-Mayer, where

Victor McLogens Success As Character Actor
Makes the Honey Roles in Demand

1.-THE Country Doctor" Actors
young and old begged, pleaded
and cajoled for the part, but a
deal was made with M-G-M where
by Zanuck borrowed Jean Her
sholt to play the role, which is
based on the career of DR.. Defoe,
of quintuplet fame. Together
with Dorothy Peterson, who won
the role of the nurse, he left for
Callander, ontario, with Director
Henry King and crew to film
scenes with the Dionne babies
themselves.
Having long held a secondary
spot on the Hollywood roster, Her
sholt is now expected to go the
skyrocket route to fame due to
the anticipated success Of this I'M
usual picture.
Teaming with the late Will
Rogers in one picture, Steamboat
Round the Bend" brought star
dom to Irwin S. Cobb. His odd
characterization in this picture
caught the public fancy, with the
result that he has already started
work on his first starring picture,
"Everybody'S Old Man."
Charles Laughton was just an
other British actor brought to
Hollywood. He was signed by
Paramount to a contract, from
which he was later released. In
the meantime, his English-made
film, THE Private Life Of Henry
VIII" took this country by storm,
and every studio bid for his Serv-
ices, with Laughton now riding
the crest Of the wave.
Got the Breaks
Background for comparison can
be had in the career Of three
stars who got their breaks five
years ago in three gangster pic
lures. Paul Mum made the grade
with "Scarface," Edward G. Rob
inson did it with Little Caesar"
and James Cagney in THE Pub
lie Enemy" There has been moth
ing fleeing about their careers
since then, but they have man.
aged to hold to top position.
To get breaks such as these,
handsome leading men are train
ing to look like grizzled charac-
ter actors, and ingenues have
forsworn any desire to become
CLOTHES horse" leading ladies.
The race Is on to bring realism
to the screen, and the more
Starkly realistic an actor can be-
come, the better his chances for
attaining Stardom through one
picture.
