Conflict for this office appears to have arisen among the Democrats, who carried the town for West by a large majority In the recent election. Mayor W. H. Canon, the Incumbent, and W. L lilffert. president of the Council, both Democrats, have declared their candidacy for the position. Tarty lines, however, have not been followed In previous municipal elec tions, as the fight has been between the "wets" nnd the "drys." The com plication arising from two men of the present "wef administration entering the contest for Mayor bus cast conster nation among the "wef forces, and given the Prohlbltlonsts hope that thev may elect a "dry" Mayor.

(."pedal. ) Now that slata politics are less si)- sorblec Medford Is preparing for a tnunieinal election in January. The Part of Constitution Granting; Inv munity to Wltneseoa Limited to Special Instances. rilOEXIX. Arli.. Nov. 13 At today's session of the Arizona constitutional convention the prolsloti for a bureau of legislative research was rejected on Its third reading and the compulsory workmen's compensation measure nar rowly missed the same fate. Measures passed on the third read ing were those prohibiting fees for placing any names on a ballot for elec tion and the Juvenile Court measure, which places tho age of criminal re sponsibility at 1$ years. The bill of rights, recommended for passage, was subjected to a weeding out. the convention voting 17 to' 13 to strike out the section prohibiting cap Its 1 punishment. The section granting Immunity to witnesses was amended so that Is pertains only to rases of bribery and illegal rebating. A warm defense of Christian Science and the passage of a sweeping child labor measure along the lines favored by the National child labor committee were features of the morning session. The argument on methods of healing was occasioned by the Introduction of a committee measure prohibiting dis crimination against "any method of healing" In the new state. After a lengthy debate the measure was Indef initely postponed. The child labor measure prohibits the employment of children less than 14 yesrs of age during school hours and forbids those less than 16 working at hazardous occupations. The measure also prohibits night work and restricts the working day for minors to less than eight hours. Other measures adopted today pro hibit tbe Issuing of blacklists and the Intermarriage of races. A measure pro posing the creation of the office of san itary engineer was rejected.

Culbertson of Hood River, In one of wliicii ho Is addressed as County Judge-elect and In tho other as County Clerk. Attorney General Crawford today passed on cer tain phases of the Home Rule amend ment hitherto touched upon. aoJ also furnished. an opinion relative to the amendment of Article VII of the Con stitution. Aa County Judge-elect. Culbertson asked If the amendment extends the time of County Judge from four years to six years. In reply the Attorney General answers In the negative, hold ing that the phrase "shall be elected" refers to the election of Judges, and when Judges are elected under the amendment they shall serve for six years, but it cannot h've the effect of extending the term of men elected November . Inasmuch as these men were not elected under the new amend ment. Referring- to the Home Rule amend ment, the Attorney-General furnishes the following opinion: "You state at the recent election the entire county voted dry. and ulso that the city of Hood River does not lie wholly In any one precinct, hut Is located In parts of three precincts, and that there is no way of ascertaining whether a majority of the voters in the city Itself voted wet or iry, and you ask. whether under the operation of the Home Rule amendment, can the city of Hood River hold at any time In the future an election upon the ques tion, or must It await the operation of t!ie county-vvlde law, and replying thereto, beg to say. In my opinion, the cite of nood River can provide by ordinance for holdlnir a city election upon the question, and then hold an election within the city Itself. "They would have to fix their own voting precincts and hold It cn'lrely witnm the city limits, as no one out side would have any right to vote. I do not believe that the clause In the Home Rule amendment providing that the clte within their boundaries shall be subject to the local option law pre vents the city from taking a vote as to whether they will have the local option within the clt because the right to hoJd such an election Is a constitutional privilege which was granted at the same election that the people voted the county dry. and con sequently I think under the rule of construction of Ktatutes and constitu tions, providing that they shall be so construed as to harmonize If possible. a court will hold that It was the Inten tion of the framers of the Home Rule amendment and of the peoplo In enact ing the law that they should be con strued together and harmonized If pos sible, and with that view it will doubt less be held that the vote for dry applied to the territory outside the city Itself, and that the city can hold an election for the purpose of deter mining the dry or wet question within its boundaries at any time, but that after It has been voted on hv the city another vote cannot be taken for two years, under the terms of the local option law. "Further, the Home Rule amendment to the Constitution will be In full force and effect as soon as the votes are canvassed and the result declared by the Governor, while the county vote for dry must, under the terms of the local option law. take effect from and after January 1. The law providing that, the order of the County Court. declaring prohibition In the county, or in a precinct, or section of the county, takes effect on the first day of January following the vote. Therefore, the law would take effect January 1 for the county to be dry, and will Include the city until It votes to the contrary." tr'A Royal is the only baking" powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar Pure Highest in Leavening Efficiency Makes Hot Breads -i & 1 HsimiM ft 9 s e I V 55 3 5JI mm Vl"e-Con sul's Home Robbed.
