REGISTRATION BEGINS
FOR POWER ELECTION |

In order to get the necessary
procedure under way, the board of
directors of the San Carlos District
at a meeting held June rs took Of
ficial action by authorizing the
publication as found elsewhere in
this paper, giving notice of the
opening Of registration books for
a special election to be held Sep
tember 81, 1886.
Publication of this notice so far
in advance of the election date is in
compliance with the new State leg
islation requiring registration OF
electors. This law provides that
the registration books shall be
opened for a period of thirty days
beginning on the eightieth day be-
fore the date of the election. Reg
istration of qualified electors will
accordingly begin on July 8 and
continue until August 1, both dates
inclusive No person not register
ed is permitted to vote.
AS required under the statutes
governing irrigation districts, the
election is being held for the pur-
pose of voting upon the question of
whether or not the District shall
obtain the necessary funds from
the REA to go ahead with the
identification program. There is
practically no doubt as to the out
come of the election since the pro-
posal from the beginning has met
with universal approval from the
farmers and others interested.
The District directors are es-
pecially anxious that all qualified
electors make it point to register
and vote. The interest manifested
in voting on the program will no
doubt have considerable weight
with the Government officials when
they will be asked to pass on the
loan. Persons who were qualified
electors and registered for the elec-
ton of a District director in Divi-
son No 2, which election was held
November II, 1885, will not be re-
quired to reregister, but those who
might have registered at that time
and were not qualified electors of
that particular Division (as was the
case with a number who registered
at Casa Grande) will be required
to make a new bona fide registra-
ton for this election.
Registration books will be opened
in Florence, Casa Grande and Coo
| lidge.
The amount involved for the en-
tire program will not exceed $780,.
900. The initial outlay is expected
to amount to less than $250,00O.
| While Government and District Of
ficials are certain that the electrifi-
cation program will be self-liquidat-
| ing, yet the necessary warranty by
the District requires assent by the
! landowners. This can only official
i ly be given special District elec-
ton.

Persuasion Fails
But the address Of the square
jaWed prime minister, classic
scholar beneath his rugged ex-
terror, millionaire and philan-
thropist beneath a bourgeois-ap-
pearing facade, will live in history
as one of the most dramatic
stories ever told. He said:

looked forward to his reign as
a great reign in a new age. He
had so many of the qualities
necessary for it.
II told him 1 had come nat
urally-I was his prime min
iSter!-and wanted to talk it
over with him as a friend"
But all the talk, all the persua-
sion, all the countless references to
filial duty, to the interests of
nation and empire, to the Sacri-
fetal lives of his mother and
father, to the dignity of crown and
sceptre that in a day of modernity
and change could not be subjected
to the risk of tarniShment, fell
upon a consciousness conSecrated
to the love of an American woman

Decree Signed in Study
King Edward, it was learned,
signed the abdication in his study
on the ground floor of Fort Belve-
dere. With accession of the Duke
Of York as King and his wife as
Queen consort, Queen Mary will
be known as the Queen Mother.
The house assembled to hear
Edwards abdication decree at

LONDON, Dec. 10 U.N.SJ-The
royal road to romance:
In 1888 Edward, Prince of
Wales, met Mrs. Wallis Warfield
Simpson at a party in London.
Thereafter they were seen to-
gether frequently, at dances, night
clubs and vacation resorts.
Their friendship lowered quiet
ly, but escaped the spotlight of
wide publicity until August. 1885,
when, with q party Of friends,
they made yachting trip. visit
ing the Balkans, JugoSlavia, Tur-
key and Greece. Later they were
together in Scotland. Then things
began to happen with lightning
speed.
On October 10, Mrs. Simpson
was invited to q party at Sand
bingham Palace attended by inti-
mate friends Of the King. The
next day she filed suit to divorce
her second husband, Ernest Simp-
son. On october 81, she was
granted a decree nisi in rapid

Thereafter the King paid fire.

at Is Cumberland Terrace until
on December / the Bishop Of
Bradford, in blunt terms, asked
the "grace of God" for the King.
The British press broke its
silence regarding the romance.
Within a few days Britain was
embroiled in it's historic consti-
tutional crisis, coming to an end
only today with the King renounc-
ing his throne in favor of his
romance.

Then the prince hung up.

Another day. the story runs, he
visited the country home Of ar

the host appeared with a dusty
bottle of rare, old wine, and said
Twill your royal highness try

as the Prince Of Wales among

whom his affection is said to
have been somewhat tempered by
suspicious that she harbored GER
tain ambitions.
On that occasion, according to
the story, Edward remarked:
"The only reason I shall ever
marry and have children is
to disappOint the Duchess of
York"
Perhaps the King did not fore
see at that time that the mar
riage he now contemplates, in
stead of disappointing" the
Duchess, in reality is opening
the way for her to become Queen
Of England.
Quip for Earl
On still another occasion, init
mates Of the royal family relate,
the King was chided by the Earl
of Hardwood for his tendency to
disregard ancient British tradi-
tions.
The incident occurred after a
charity affair in London'S east
end at which Edward, then Prince
Of Wales, appeared in an ordinary
sack suit and bowler hat, while
the Earl showed up in full dress,
top hat and generally impeccable
regalia.
Later the Prince was said to
have remarked jokingly to friends: :
"The Earl of Hardwood says
that every day / become COM
mOner and cOmmOner. But every
day he becomes rOyaler and

Many other stories have been
circulated about the King. Ac-
cording to one Of them, when he
was Prince, he often answered his

the revered and beloved
Queen Mary and what all of
this has meant for her.
LET US look forward, re-
member our country and the
trust reposed in Commons by

LET us rally around the
new King"
POWER OF CROWN
Frequently in the course of
his prolonged address Baldwin
spoke Of the might and majesty
of the crown King Edward has
cast aside for a woman's love,
stressing always that its i'm
portance as a symbol of empire
rather than a baub1e in a case
Of glass depends upon the re-
spect it commands among
people of all classes.
Such respect, he said, would
perforce have been diminished
by the morganatic marriage
the King proposed, but far
from criticizing King Edward
for his choice, he paid eloquent
tribute to him as a man of de-
termination and honesty.
"The King cannot speak for
himself. He has told us he can
not carry and does not see any
way to carry the almost intOIer-
able burdens of kingship with
out a woman at his side"
Not once was there spoken ex-
preston Of the governments wish

feels would have been acceptable
to the empire as queen; not once
the slightest attempt to cast as

Historic Speech
Baldwin'S speech was, in sum
total, one Of the most impasSioned
and surely one of the most his
tor1c in all the centuries that
have passed since England has
been ruled by King and parlia
ment.
The message Of the King was

what? Have you come all
this way to see that old wind
bag?"
Listen, he may be a wind
bag, but We have no right to be
calling him one. It was his
parents who made Britain, not
yours; and he'll do his part, too
when the time comes"
The Prince went away without
revealing his identity.
The Washington times., 1936-12-10

if possible, of that mutual respect and regard
in which we stood.
II told His Majesty that had two great
anxieties: First, the effect of continuance of
the kind of criticism that was at that time
proceeding in the American press, and the
effect it would have in the dominions, par
ticularly Canada where it was widespread,
and the effect it would have in this country.
"Then | reminded him what had often tore
him and his brothers in years past and that is
this The crown in this country through cen
turtles has been deprived of many of it's pre-
negatives, but today, while that is true, it
(the CROWN stands for far more than it has
ever done in it's history (Cheers.)
INTEGRITY IMPORTANT
"The importance of it's integrity, beyond all
question, is far greater than it has ever been,
being, as it is, not only the last link of EN-
pire that is left, but guarantee in this coun-
try, so long as it exists in that integrity,
against many evils that affected and afflicted
other countries.
"There is no man or woman in this country
whatever party he may belong to, would not
subscribe to that, but while this feeling vastly
depends on respect for that Crown, as shown
in the last three generations of the monarchy
it might not take so long in the face of the
kind of criticism to which it was being ex-
posed, to lose that power far more rapidly
than it was built up, and once lost, doubt
if anything could restore it.
"That was the basis of my talk on that
aspect, and expressed my anxiety, then my
DESIRE that such criticisms should not have
cause to 60 on.
II said that in my view no popularity in the
long run would have weighed against the effect
of such criticism
II told His Majesty had looked forward
to his reign as a great reign in a new age.
He had so many of the qualities necessary
for it,
"I told him I had come naturally-T was his
Prime Minister land wanted to talk it over
with him as a friend.
"Perhaps am saying what should not say
here. I did not ask His Majesty whether I
might say this, but I will say it because don't
think he would mind, and l think it illustrates
the basis on which our talks have been held.
SETTLE IT TOGETHER"
"He said to me not once, but many times dur
ing these many hours we had together, espe-
cially towards the end-he said:
"'You and must settle this matter to-
gether. will not have anyone interfering
81 then pointed out the danger of divorce
proceedings: That if a verdict was given that
left the matter in suspense for some time that
period of suspense must be dangerous, because
then everyone would be talking and when once
the press begins as it must begin some time in
this country most difficult situation would
arise for me and for him.
