100000 workers into the streets to starve beg

They'll not forget the many vacant storerooms

victory at the polls Tuesday was

"Our people will not abandon the
leadership which has brought them
out of economic crisis and to the
threshold of military victory" Lock-
lear reported. Everywhere I have

Apcches Play
At Bisbee
Tonight

Coach Howard Beazley and his
Nogales High School Apaches hit
the road today, journeying to Bis
bee to meet the Miners tonight for
the second time this season.
The Pumas took the measure over
the Indians 27-12 three weeks age
in a bitterly fought contest on the
local gridiron. Although the Apa-
ches held them to a 7-6 half-time
score and a 1912 third quarter
score, the Pumas punched over two
more tallieS in the last period to
take the ball game. Nogales scored
first in the opening minutes OF the
game and held a 60 first period
lead.
Bob Kasun and Bill Penn are the
gentlemen from Bisbee that Beaz-
ley's borderites will have to hold
down tonight in order to stop the
red and gray brigade. Kasun is a
20O-pound fullback and runs like a
powerhouse on wheels. In the last
game the Apaches failed to hold
him down. Bisbee is again favored
to take the second of the season.

Apaches Blast
Casa. Crande
q To 7

Negales High Schools Apaches
broke into the winning column here
Saturday night by trouncing the
Casa Grande Cougars 32-7 before a
very large crowd at the stadium
and battling it out on a muddy
field.
The first half ended O to O, both
teams rocking each others lines for
very little gains. The Apaches
threatened to go over at least three
times in the first half but they
lacked that one last punch to
do it.
In the second half the locals came
back and launched a long drive
from their own 80 to a touchdown,
spanked by Lopez, Pottinger, Valen-
cia and Titcomb.
After moving up the field in a
desperate attempt to score, Joe
Lopez plunged through on a quar-
terback sneak from the two, fun
bled, and recovered again for the
first score. The Indians failed to
convert.
All this didn't slow down the
Cougars, though. They came right
back and marched down the field to
score and convert, making it 7-6 in
favor of Casa Grande.
This was when the Apaches really
started to roll. Ernie Valencia
darted off tackle for go yards and

SUPPORTERS OF BOTH FDR
AND DEWEY CONFIDENT OF
VICTORY AS ELECTION NEARS
Betting Odds Favor Roosevelt; Indications Point To
Heaviest Vote In History; Arizona And
County Safely Democratic

After listening to months of
campaign Oratory and speech
making, American voters will go
to the polls Tuesday and elect a
president and vice-president for
the next four years.
Indications point to the heaviest
vote in history. This is based on a
registration considerably in excess
of any heretofore.
Betting odds of 8 to 1 favor the
reelection of President Roosevelt.
However, some polls indicate the
result very much in doubt. Sup
porters of both Roosevelt and Dew
ey are confident of victory.
Arizona, as usual, will go Demo-
cratic. This is conceded by persons
prominent in Republican circles.
In Santa Cruz County the Demo-
Gratis have easy sailing, largely for
the reason, with one exception, each
Democratic candidate is without
opposition. That exception is Hugo
w. Miller, COP candidate for State
Senator. He is opposed by Senator
William H. Hathaway.

One thing about that federal

this, you have as much chance to
get past them without buying a
ticket as you have of trying to cross
! the line dressed in a Nazi uniform
with Japanese soldier under one
arm and 50-pound can of opium
in the other.
We also had a Sports Carnival
last Sunday at the golf course for
the same good cause. Played golf

games in the world--that old bow
and arrow game archery" There
was slight mishap, though. Doc

five minutes I ran around there
looking like a fat turkey that had
lost all its feathers except one.
Fanny Simmons was in a spe-
cial golf driving contest. He got UP
on the tee, wound up and let 60
and missed the ball a foot. Un-
daunted, he wound up again and
let SO. Missed again. But game
enough, he wound up and missed
a foot again. Then he turned
around to the embarrassed audience
and sez, Tough course. amt it?"
All this time there we're two grass

ball and when he missed again, one
grasshopper turned to the other and
