So Arizona Buffalo
To Be Herded in Front
OF Hunters Rifles
Older Animals to Be Killed
But 1t Won't Be Very
Thrilling Sport
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 2.-Fifty
Arizona buffalo, grazing peacefully
on their quiet range, don't know 1t
yet, but before many weeks their
heads will be mounted as trophies
and their hides will be tanned into
rugs.
They are due to fall before the
rifles of sportsmen in the annual
hunt conducted by the State Fish
and Game Commission, an event
which has no counterpart anywhere,
now that the buffalo is protected
by laws to save it from extinction.
The State-owned herd of 243 of
the massive, shaggy animals roams
an unfenced range in House Rock
Valley, 400 miles north of Phoeniz
in the remote country between the
Grand Canyon and Utahs southern
border. Each winter the commits
sion permits the killing of some
animals of the herd-old, ill-tem-
pered bulls, barren old cows, and
pintos, the result of cross-breeding
of buffalo cows and Hereford bulls
which share the range.
Like Cows in a Pasture.
Hunters who expect a thrilling
and dangerous chase are due for
disappointment. Those who have
participated in previous hunts in
House Rock Valley say the buffalo
now is about as much of a game
animal as COW in pasture.
Two or three cowboys hold the
herd together out in the middle OF
the plain. A deputy game warden
points out the animal to be killed,
the hunter approaches on foot to
within 100 yards or SO and blazes
away with high-powered rifle If
the first shot doesn't bring the buf-
falo down, the cowboys round it up
and the rifleman is given chance
to complete the kill.
Selected by Lot.
This year the hunt will be held in
two sections, with Is persons IN
each party, the first January IL to
IS and the second February Is TO
19. The herd has increased in size
so that there is insufficient feed and
water available, hence the larger
number of hunters permitted this
year, explained William Sawtele,
State game warden. Last year IA
hunters, two of them women, bravtd
cold, snowy weather to bag a buf-
falo apiece.
The State of Arizona got into the
buffalo business in 1926 by pur-
chasing herd from James Owens,
famed character of the Grand Can
yon country, for $4,000.

JOHNSON WARNS |OF THIRD TERM
COP. Candidate for Con- gress Contrasts Caesar,
 Franklin D. Roosevelt


 President Roosevelt was likened to Julius Caesar by Frank T. John son, Republican candidate for con- gress, in an address delivered at a New Milford Republican club clam bake yesterday. The third term att tempt, he said, is comparable to Ceasar's abrogation of the law ltrn- iting the terms of rulers.
 Another speaker at the gathering was Paul Cornell, c. O. P. nominee for U. s. senater.
 MT. Johnson said in part:
 This matter of violating the Ameri- can tradition against the third term of office for any administration is an issue of gravest importance. AS we go back through the pages of his- tory we see that the century's wisest men have realized the danger to the people of long reign by any one man or group of men.
 One example comes to mind = that of ancient Rome. There was in ancient Rome more than a tradition there was law strictly limiting the term of office. Lo' along came Caesar and he did to that law what this ad- ministration is now seeking to do to the honored American tradi- tion against a third term. He ab- brogated it, and thus rose the Ro- man Empire. We know what hap- pened to the Roman empire = it fell in term of its own weight and was destroyed!
 Now during the past few years in Washington we have seen great central power. We have seen more and more authority delegated to one man. On top of this unprecedent- ed centralization of power, we now see bid by an administration which has piled failure on failure, to extend it's rule for a longer time than any other administration in the long enduring situation of our coun- try.
 Do you not agree that the barley is unmistakeable? declare to you that it is time for the American people to- heed the admonition of Benjamin Franklin that "The secur- ity of free government depends upon frequent election and rotation in of flee"
