With elec- tion day drawing near, the Republican situation in many sections looks desperate and in others hopeless. Confirmation of this view is found in the facts that President Harding has felt constrained to write a letter to Republican Floor Leader Mondell designed to raise Republican hopes, and in which he pleads for the re election of the present Republican Do-No thing Congress; that Williams R. Wood, Chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, has been compelled to revise downward his pre diction of a Republican majority in the next House, and that practically -every member of the President's Cabinet has been sent out on the stump. The Republicans, panic stricken, are playing their last cards and ex hausting their last resources. The Democrats on the other hand are approaching the final struggle -with calmness and confidence.

They are indulging in no extravagant claims. They have placed all the facts concerning this Congress and this administration, and the issues of the campaign accurately and fully.be- ore the public and they feel now that no amount of letter-writing by the President, or belated campaign -oratory by members of the Cabinet can explain away, the damning facts "that constitute the record of this Republican Congress which is asking for re-election and this Republican ad ministration which has injected itself into the campaign at the eleventh liour. They cannot explain away any of -the following oustanding facts of that -record: That this Congress passed a Profiteer's Tariff bill which taxes the, American people from to $4,000,000,000, an amount equivalent to the total sum required to run the government, and which -will greatly increase the present high cost of living. That this Republican Congress en acted a tax bill which relieved the big corporations and multi-millionaire -taxpayers of more than half a billion dollars, and increased the taxes, of every small corporation, while grant ing no relief to small individual tax payers. That Truman H.

Newberry was giv- a purchased seat in the United States Senate, with the open support of President Harding, and was con demned by the very men who voted "to seat him. That the administration is now fac ing an admitted deficit of $650,000, O00 for the current fiscal year, which will be $850,000,000 and perhaps 000,000,000 before the end of the year, while pretending that it was economizing and saving money. That the expenses of running every single department of the government have been largely increased by this administration when fairly compared with the last Democratic administration. That the last of the naval oil reserves in Wyoming were secretly leased by the Secretary of the Inter, lor to a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company, with great loss to the nation and the state and to the United States navy and the oil-burning ships of the American Merchant; Marine. That the administration is now at tempting to put through legislation to of $3,000,300,000 worth of the finest merchant chips afloat for r.ne-lenth of their oot, to nay O00.000 bonus to the purchasers, to iena tneni at 2 per cent and to exempt them from taxation.

That under an ive OTdo- of Harding, a n-idnight raid was made uoj-i the officials the Jureu of Engraving and Pri tii vs. and that men and women Who had won those portions thiough mrit were cast into the street with a sus-pickn tfi charge --f dishenesty a-aisc them, which has disproved, but $-oight them no redress. That without exception every piece of beneficial passed by. this. Congress had the support of.

The county candidates will also give short talks. Much enthusiasm over the meeting is in evidence and a record attendance is looked for.

Tannehill had charge of hte work. Messrs. W. C. Rittenhouse Chairman of the drainage committee and Geo.

Kimball, President of The Coleman Lake Development Association inspected the work after it wa3 done and declared the job a good one. It is estimated that the flow into the lake will be increased from 25 to 50 per cent by means of the ditches. Sufficient funds have been subscribed to pay for the work and most of the amount has been collected. Those who subscribed to the drainage fund but have not paid should leave their contributions with Mr. A.

M. Root, at once. GRAND CANYAN FOLKS BUST LOOSE October 31st, the night the witches ride their broomsticks, was celebrated in a manner befitting the occasion by the residents of Grand Canyon Village in great style, at the Harvey Company Recreation HalL r- The. costumes those attending the' Salnce were varied, and would take quite some time and space to enumerate or describe. Suffice it to say that many of them were grotes que; many beautiful, and it was not iced that two young men in particular washed their faces for the occasion, thereby being almost unrecognizable and almost got a prize apiece.

Four prizes were awarded at the witching hour, midnight. Two of these went to the young ladies and two to the young men. "Fat" Harbin, our peerless Assist ant Agent and Cashier for the Grand Canyon Railway at this place, cap tured first prize for the young man in the role and costume of a dashing bold rover of the- seas. As the-poet laureate of the Village A pirate bold was he, with whiskers on each knee, he was so fat, that playful, pat, would make one lay down and dee," and by that time he was crowned king of allhe surveyed with a brick. This was the only cas ualty of the evening.

The doctors say he will survive. Tough luck. It seems as if lady Luck rode with the Harbin family that night, because Fat's sister, Helen, copped first prize for the young ladies by appearing as a timid little Japanese maiden. About fifteen minutes after Helen arrived at the recreation hall in costume, a half dozen hombres were down at the railroad station finding out all they could about railroad and steamship rates to Japan. Mrs.

jteen as uretcnen in a very becoming Dutch costume grabbed off second prize for the yuong ladies. As a blonde, Mrs. Keen is a "knock-out' and we are now told that Mrs. Keen is going to dye her black hair blonde and that Helen is going to dye her blonde hair black. Why can't thev swop" says we, then they wont have to.

Mayor" Harrison was presented with the honest-to-goodneas, real gen uine cheese-cloth saddle and the sec ond prize also, he appearing as a modern young flapper, rolled socks, red garters everything. Before he unmasked, we have learned from com petent authority, four young and am bitious young men-about-town had made dates with the "young Music for the occasion was ably furnished by our Pinon Nut Orchesi- tra, under the leadership of "Red1 Keen who swings a mean and nasty bow, and Ray Ames our peerless pianist, "Bill" Bass, the marvel on the saxophone, Ed Waterbury, the slid ing trombone artist, and our own "Billie" Joynt, whom we claim as the best trap drummer in the State of Arizona and without a doubt, the proud possessor of the finest set of traps west of the Mississippi. A spl.endid repast was set forth about 12:30. ASH FORK NEWS Mr.

School reporter EA1J CO AMSG GOHINO WINS TEST IN COUNTY The announcement recently made that the Arizona Corporation Commission has been successful in securing a solution to the "Two Line Haul Case" means a direct saving to the people of the Salt River Valley of about $600,000 a year," according to a statement made by a prominent Phoenix jobber recently. "For many years, in fact since it has had a railroad, Phoenix and the surrounding towns have suffered financially from the fact that the Arizona Eass- ern Railroad and the Southern Pacific- Railroad were operated as separate lines, even though they were under one ownership.

This has permitted of additional freight charges being made, these charges aggregating about $600,000 a Some time ago, upon the iniatian of Amos A. Betts, the railroad member of the Commission, a motion was made to show that they were not entitled to additional transfer charges. Miss Pauline Jones one of the Williams News contestants in the Coconino county beauty race, received the largest vote in the entire county, Her nearest competitor was Miss Kinsey, of Flagstaff. Miss Jones received 336,800 votes and Miss Kinsey 317,650. It is quite a distinction for Williams to have the honor of supplying the beauty for Coconino county, to grace the State Fair at Phoenix.

There Miss Jones will compete with eleven other girls representing their respective counties, for first place in the State contest. The winner of the contest at Phoenix will be crowned Queen of the Fair, and will be presented with a $500 jewel. The other competing beauties will each receive a handsome prize. Miss Jones left on Sunday night for Phoenix where she will be a guest of the Fair with all expenses paid, along with the contestants from the other counties. The News has been confidently looking for word from Phoenix announcing that Miss Jones is the winner for the state, but as yet no word has been received.

HIGH SCHOOL SUPPORTS FOOT BALL TEAM There are some real loyal girls in Williams High School, as shown by the Rooters Club which has been organized recently. They demonstrated this fact by the "pep" parade. which took the form of a snake dance down main street Friday noon, prior to the Flagstaff-Williams foot ball game. The Parade was headed by two boys beating a drum, followed by a big fellow dressed to represent Flagstaff bef ore the game, and later astnatt loy dressed to represent Flag staff after the game; namely, crutches bandages, etc. Then came the "Rooters" Club, each wearing an orange and black hat, and yelling and singing to the top of their voices.

The pep" was not forgotten after the parade but continued thru out the afternoon, and was one of the principle factors of Williams' first foot ball game. Elect the JAS. KENNEDY CO. to supply your grocery wants and we will assure you. an economical administration Phone 47.

Ranch Near Phoenix. J. D. Rupe stopped off in Williams Wednesday, on his return from Phoe- nix where he went to market two cars of spuds which represented his spud crop for this year. While in the south Mr.

Rupe bought a nice ten acre farm three miles out of Glen dale. He and Mrs. Rupe will move down to their new ranch in the course of the next few weeks, to spend the winter. Mrs. Rupe is delighted with the prospect of a winter home in the mild climate of the Salt River Valley.

Reason. To Be Proud. H. C. Sanders has reason to be proud of the crops he has raised on his ranch this season.

The editor is in receit of three fine large Petoskee potatoes whieh Mr. Sanders wished him to sample. The three were good for two meals for a family of five and were of fine quality. Any country which can raise spuds of this size and quality should specialize on potatoes. Mr.

Sanders also brought in several specimens of Yellow Dent corn from his crop. The' ears were large and well matured. Mr. Sanders claims the distinction of having imported this corn to Coconino County. WHEN YOU NEED A SHAVE, A HAIRCUT A SHAMPOO, OR Anything else in the Barbering Line, Done Right.
