THE CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE

With election time drawing on apace, candidates may be interested in any little suggestion that may aid them in their campaigning, but it may not be out of place to remind them that- it is not always the candidate most active and eager to please who receives the congratulations the next day after the votes are bountejl. Witness this report made by a certain man (we’ll not mention any names) who ran for office not so very long ago: “Lost 1,249 hours’ sleep thinking about the election. Lost two front teeth and a lot of hair in a personal encounter with an opponent. Donated one beef, four shotes and five sheep to country barbecues. Gave two pairs of suspenders, four calico dresses and $5.00 in cash. Kissed' 126 babies. Put up four stoves. Kindled fourteen fires. Walked 4,076 miles. Shook hands with 9,508 people. Told 10,101 lies ,and talked enough to make in print 1,000 columns. Attended 16 revivals apd contributed SSO to foreign missions. Made love to nine widows—five grass, four sod. Hugged 49 old maids. Got dog bit 39 times —and was not elected by 353 votes.”

LOG OF TRIP TO YOSEMITE

WRITTEN BY JOHN WALKER, FORMER REPORTER OF THIS CIRCUIT. The following article from the pen of our former court reporter and very popular former fellow townsman is taken from the Tucson Citizen, published at Tucson, Ariz. The article will appear in installment of which the following is the first: The first log of a complete trip to Yosemite, through California, Idaho and Nevada, to be turned in in Tucson, has been made available through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. John Walker, who returned recently from the route. The log is exceptional in detail, full of experience and will be worth preserving by all those contemplating trips through ✓the country next year. The log, whilp not written for publication, is presented here in narrative form at the request of The Sunday Tucson Citizen. In concluding the narrative, several deductions as to the kind of tourist parking-* camp the tourists want are of general interest in view of the local attempt to establish a park here.

“We left Tucson on the 26th of June, and- made our first stop at Phoenix, and getting out of Phoenix early in the morning, drove to Parker that day, and owing to a storm did not get to cross the river that night. The weather going was cool, owing to rains in the mountains near the road. The road itself was about 50-50 from Phoenix to the Colorado. None of it wps dangerous in any way, but there would be stretches where it was possible to go from 30 to 40 miles an hour, and then there would be stretches that would be full of holes where it was very slow. At Parker there is a choice of two routes to Needles, either the canyon road or the Parker cut-off. The former follows a narrow canyon in the mountains for six miles, and #hile it is slow, it is not at all dangerous only in time of rain, when all the water from We mountains drains down into this canyon, necessitating your hunting a high place for your machine until the water recedes,' or else running the risk of being flooded. The cut-off road is shorter by some 15 miles, but is very dangerous owing to the intense heat. No work has been done along the road, and there is no opportunity to get assistance should anything go wrong. There is 98 miles of endless desert, most of it below the sea level, and should a tire have to be changed or anything else go wrong with your machine, it is ahnost suicide to work in the sun. From Needles to Barstow, with the exception of 30 miles of road, it’is generally* good. These 30 miles are rough, but passable. From Barstow to the top of Cajon Pass, the road is unpaved, but good country road. At the top of t pass you encounter the paved road, and yous road troubles are over. On topping the pass, one of the most beautiful valley views m the country is obtained. While it is not an entirely cultivated valte y , rt was nevertheless a beautiful one with the rugged mountains as far boundary, and the small rocky bills with here and there a ed spot m between. Santa Fe railroad runs through the far side of the valley, and to see one of their long trains come creeping down out of the hills, twisting and winding like a large snake gives one some idea of engineering feat it was to put a■ rail*»ad thru.

SUFFRAGE NOTICE SENT TO COLBY

TENNESSEE SUPREME COURT ORDER OPENS WAY FOR CERTIFICATION. Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 24.— Frank M. Thompson, attorney general of Tennessee, announced today that Governor A. H. Roberts, at 10:20 o’clock this morning, certified Tennessee’s ratification of the suffrage amendment, sending the certification to Secretary of State Colby by mail. Similar certifications were sent to President Wilson, Vice-President Marshall and the Speaker of the house. Miss Charl Williams, leader of the Tennessee women, who has been working in behalf of suffrage, sent a telegram to Secretary of State Colby, notifying him that the certification had been put in the mail, he said. The announcement was made after Chief Justice Lansden, of the state supreme Court, on petition of the attorney-general, had granted a writ of and supersedeas, virtually ' taking proceedings in the injunction case brought to prevent certification out of the hands of Judge Lansden of the county chancery court. Justice Lansden ordered all records in the case before the state supreme court for review. Argued at Justice’s Home. Attorney-General Thompson said ths action of Justice Lansden vacated the injunction granted by the lower court, and it was on this express opinion that the Governor certified ratification to Washington. Argument by the attqrney-gener-al on his motion that the supreme court take jurisdiction was made before Justice Lansden last night at the justice’s home. Opponents of ratification said the proceedings violated the rules of the supreme court in that the other party was not notified that the hearing was to be held. House Without Quorum. House leaders said today that it would be impossible to transact business as long as a quorum is lacking in the house. Thirty-seven members who opposed ratification are at Decatur, Ala. Rumors that an agreement had been reached between suffrage leaders and the “bolters” at Decatur, ■under which the latter would return to Nashville and proceed with legislation, under a pledge that suffrage would not be referred to by either faction, were denied in all quarters. Seth Walker, Speaker of the house and the opposition leader said he had no authority to speak for the members at Decatur, but he was certain they would not agree to such a plan.

Los Angeles north, and at is one continual boulevard, with short stretches here and there where the road is not paved. As a result of this good road, there are many accidents due to excessive speed, and misjudging distance in passing. We saw several machines that had been in accidents, and several people seriously injured. Upon reaching Ventura, the road follows the ocean for miles, and to the Arizonan, this is a wonderful sight, as well as extremely pleasant to run in the cool ocean breeze. We camped on the beach near Ventura on die night of July 3rd and before morning the entire beach as far as we could see was lined with campers that had come out to spend the 4th. Upon leaving our camp ground, we drove by easy stages up the coast, taking breakfast in Santa Barbara, and visiting the old mission of Santa Barbara located near the town. The Father who showed us through was very entertaining in his explanation of the history connected with the mission. He showed us the grave of an Indian woman who, upon finding that her baby had been forgotten on the island upon which she had been living, jumped off of the ship and made her,way back to the island, and remained there alone for 18 years. The baby was never found, supposedly having been eatep by wild dogs which inhabited the island. Upon being rescued, she only lived a few days, and was buried in the garden of the mission. He also took us up in the tower and let us look down into the Fathers’ garden, in which a woman has never entered. Many other points of interest were pointed out and the history connected with it explained. (To Be Continued.)
