Politics Picking Up

The political pot has begun to simmer and will
be boiling shortly particularly if the special session
of the legislature convening soon follows out recent
recommendation of county recorders to advance the
state primary from the second Tuesday in September
to August Is so that men and women in the armed
forces will have opportunity to vote.
Political announcements usually begin in the late
spring. With earlier primary date they can be
expected within the next few weeks.
Already there is much interest in politics because
the biennial state conventions of the two major par
ties scheduled for earlier dates than usual. The
Democrats are to hold theirs March 25th. Usually it
is held in May. The Republicans it is understood,
will also meet early this year.
Intense rivalry in Republican ranks for the pres
dential nomination, too has stirred up lot of inter-
est in politics Wendell Wilkie is working hard for
the nomination and has the support Of the rank and
file of Republican voters but the COP bosses want
someone else-Dewey Bricker in fact, anybody
but Willkie, whom they claim has been too much of
a supporter of President Roosevelts policies.
If the Republicans beat Wilkie for the nomina-
ton, and split the Republican party wide open Dem
Ocratic chances for electing FDR for fourth term
will be much brighter.
Voters irrespective of political affiliations, are
going to think twice before changing presidents
during War and for that reason it's almost cinch
President Roosevelt will defeat Wilkie, Dewey

mate at their June convention ~s * sT~~'-

Kelland-G -Giragi Writer'S Slugfest

Columbus Giragi's "sparks from the Grindstone"
column this week broke into soaring flame of ndig
nation an attack by Author Clarence Budington
Kelland directed at the Democratic party and admin
istration.
Keland spoke at the Republican Coconino Coun-
ty Central Committee banquet in Flagstaff in his
official capacity as COP national committeeman Our
fellow journalist braved possible contamination and
attended the affair The result was three column
rebuttal defending Democratic policies.
We can dispose Of Kelland much briefly.
He is an outstanding fiction writer and all Of his
political announcements which we have seen belong
in the same category -cleverly worded fiction
Recent election results in the East indicate that
voters in that gassy atmosphere again listening
to Republican wooing, but not Kelland fool
Arizonans who have clear, pure air through which
the sunlight of Democratic preachments will continue
to shine through, unobscured by murky Republican
fogs that Kelland declares are clouds with sterling
silver Innings
Since coming to our state, Kclland has tried to
put the Republican party in hero's roe. To u.s.
REPUBLICANISM and HOOVERISM remain the
same thing. We want Of either!

The Fighting Home Front

Our fighting men need support. They will
get it if we keep our minds on the great aims for
which the war is being fought.
They will not get it if we follow the example Of
some people in midst who seem to regard the
as an opportunity for complaining about the compar
ativey mild Inconvenience that we all must undergo
However, we are enduring hardship that can be
remotely compared with the very real sacrifices
that the men of the armed forces making daily.
It is they, not we, who must crawl through the mud
of the infested and steaming JUNGLE seeking out
hidden enemy. It is they, not we, who must look
upon their dying comrades and listen to the agonized
cries Of the wounded. It is they, not we, who must
forward day and night, under rain of fire that
seems eternal while it lasts
But, thew not complaining. They have a
purpose to fulfill to wn and great offensive
to launch in 1914 It is not their offensive alone, it
is our offensive too. And if we value the mighty
deeds that they have to perform in 1914, we shall
carry on at home in their spirit and with their ser
BUSINESS of purpose. Let US have more complaining
Let uo have cooperation and more sacrifice. Il
is fighting home-front that we need.

and you should have seen us. Man
we were so happy. After all, you
don't meet the fellows from your
home town every day. He told me
that I was the first guy from home
he had met for 16 months.
1t all happened in a nice dice
game we were having, and I stop
ped and got in it. So he says "hi, .
and said, Whats new, sCldicr?'
got in the game and went out
minus $4,000.
Then I started thinking about
this guy. I knew had seen l1ir2
somewhere, but just couldn't place
him. Then, next morning I am
eating chow. I remember who this
CT is, so I holler to him: "Katino!"
He turned around and recognized
me all of a sudden. Yes, it was an
old football star-Katino Karabias
We had a nice talk and he loaned
me an International that was about
month old. But it really was
more than welcome. I have had
three of them since have been
across and, Man, it's a gift from
heaven. Seems funny, but that
little paper gives the lowdown.
Well, Craig, before I close I want
you to tell Mrs. Karabias that her
son is we'll Oh, yes, he told me he
is now married, so guess his wife
won't have a thing to worry about
because he is well but homesick,
and I really can't blame him.

Dear Mrs. Romero:
A year ago this month our WAC
Detachment came to Fort Bragg
On the occasion of our first ann5-
versary am taking the opportunity
to express my appreciation for the
excellent work Virginia is doing i'm
her assignment.
In addition to doing a fine job,
she is doing an important one, re-
leasing a man for combat. The
Women's Army Corps has accom-
plished much at Fort Bragg, and
it is the work cooperation and
achievement of each individual
which brings into being a successful
organization. We have had OBJ
stacles to meet and prejudiceS to
overcome. Our women have come
through in a way that has won the
respect and admiration of everyone
throughout the country The fact
thas our Army now wants COG, 600
in an organization which originally
set a quota of 10000 speaks louder
than words of our success. Knowing
your sister is contributing her part
to this pioneering organization
must make you very proud of her.
We are proud to have her with us.
1t is our earnest prayer that the
New Year will bring to you the
victory and peace for which we are
striving.
