THE NIGHT CALLING HIM
TO LEAD THE HOSTS OF
THE FAITHFUL BACK TO
PROMISED LAND.
Special to thP Journal -Miner.
PHOEXIX, June 2!. Declaring
that the election of a Republican
governor gave over the State to the
spoilsmen of the unregencrate, and
that this condition is most deplorable,
considering the long and efficient
manner in which the spoils of politics
have been handled by his brethren,
Hon. Fred T. Colter, cow-man, by
breeding and politician by force of
luck and circumstance, has announced
to the faithful that he is Moses. The
Hon. Fred's announcement is made
in the form of a circular letter to all
prominent Democrats (and it is sus
pected, some prominent Socialists,
I. W. W.'s and other leaders of the
party within the party), under date of
June 15th.
More than ordinarily fearless. Col
ter is downright scared about the
Republican machinists, whom, he ac
cuses in his letter of being hard at
work, constructing a steam-roller that
will flat'en ou democracy all the way"
down the line to the meanest precinct
constable, at the next election. In
fact, his fear is almost an obsession.
He noes further and charges the Re
publican administration, which is
working along with a State ticket
made up exclusively of Democrats,
by the way, of utilizing the Stale De
fense Council for strictly partisan pur
poses. In effect, this statement is
that a Republican governor has so far
forgotten the conditions of strife into
which the 1'ntted States has been
plunged, as to use a defense council
to ftfed up his henchmen for a battle
royal for State and county offices a
year and a half hence.
Fred Colter considers himself the
logical candidate for the governorship
in 1918.
In letting his democratic friend
know this, the Apache cattleman
says:
"It has never occurred to me until
recently that I could further assist in
bringing about better results in the
democratic situation by running for
State office, but as I have had so many j
personal requests and letters from all
over the State from people who think
1 am the logical man to get the party
together, to counteract the immense i
Republican machine, I have decided j
to run for the governorship of the
State."
Further on in the letter, the writer
tells about his desire to secure a
"higher standard of government." lie
frankly admits though it is doubtful
if he would say so for publication
that the democratic party is pretty
badly splintered as a result of the
bitter struggle for control that pre
ceded its fall from power last Novem
ber. He repeats his warning that the
Republicans arc trying to build a ma
chine that will exceed in effectiveness
that with which the Democrats have
been nochantly toyjng in' Arizona
since Statehood. "It will be a hard
struggle." he says, but modestly in-,
forms his friends that with his own
self at the helium, the ship of democ
racy will be steered safely through
the troubled waters.
lie calls every man he addresses,
"one of my best friends" a state
ment which at least one addressee de
nies coldly, sarcastically. "I know
you will all help me to get govern
ment," is another remarkable state
ment. Obviously, the letter is intended tc
make Fred Colter recognized as the
fountain head of party enthusiasm,
from which the faithful may imbibe
from time to time, in order to refresh
themselves against the inevitable
death struggle with embattled Repub
licanism next year. Tacitly, the
writer admits that there is a lack of
enthusiasm and harmony in the or
ganization, and tacitly but very posi
tively, he admits that in his own
bosom, is a never-dying pure flame,
which shall light the dark ways tot
the brethren.
Fred Colter is a oung man to be
national committeeman of his party.
He got the job in the ecnlral com
mittee Hireling in the Adams hotel
here last Summer, because Reese M.
Ling, who was landing for rr-clcc-lion
to ihc office, had mortally offend
ed an important wing of the party.
Colter was a Hunt man thru, and is
eousidorcd one now, which is all the
more surprising, considering the fact
he is olio of the wealthiest cattle ami
sheep owners in the State. The con
nection between Hunt and Colter has
remained one of the impenetrable
mysteries of politics for the past five
ycan and in spite of the fact that
dozens of perfectly good party Dem
ocrats with no leanings to the radical
clement real performers, as it were
hae gone lo Colter, thev have
never bi.cn able lo wean lam troin his
first loxc.
Colter, beside being committeeman,
was State senator from Apache coun-
tv in the last session of the legislature.
The Colter announcement is con
sidered by leading party Democrats
here, to mean that before long, there
will be a big drive on within the ranks,
to consolidate opposition to his
boom sf, indeed, his boom is consid
crcd worthy of a focman's steel after
it has had a time to cease echoing. It
is pointed out that if Colter wants to
be the Democratic nominee for gov
crnor, he will have plenty of opposi
tion from his own side of the fence.
let alone the line of sturdy real Dcm
ocrats who arc casting calculating
glances at the chair. In the Hunt etc
mcnt, will be found no less than two,
who arc eating the bread of patience
until the time shall come for a swoop
around the State. They arc Sydney
P. Osborn, present Secretary of State,
and Mulford Winsor, a State senator
and real brains of the Hunt adminis
tration and machine.
Opposed lo the radicals will be the
phalanx of "Olncy" Democrats, who
arc all of them m a position to com
mand some respect from party and
public alike: George J. Stoncman,
chairman of the Democratic State
central committee, George Michclson,
of Yuma, W. A. Mtocur, land commis
sioner and perhaps the best groomed
man in Democracy, for the race.
SEEKING MEN IN PRES-
COTT FOR U. S. ARMY
(From Friday's Daily.)
Corporal J. C Hacker, United
States Army, arrived in Prcscott yes
terday and opened a recruiting sta
tion for a few days at the St. Michael
hotel, and is prepared to accept and
ship at government expense, appli
cants from the following branches of
the service: infantry, field artillery,
medical department, and experienced
bakers for the quartermasters' depart
ment. AH other departments arc full
up to war strength, such as thccav
alry, quartermaster corps, signal
corps, coast artillery, aviation section
and engineers.
All applicants must bring their reg
istration cards with them. All aliens,
except those of Germany, Austria,
Turkey or Bulgaria, arc eligible for
enlistment in the United States Army
if they arc single and arc otherwise
physically able to pass the required
examinations.
It is the president's earnest desire
to enlist from June 10 to June 30,
70,000 volunteers to make the United
States regular standing army 300,000
strong and it will be the duty of the
recruiting service to keep this arm
recruited up to its full strength, by
volunteers, which will be known as
the United States regular standing
volunteer army. With the selective
draft only a very few weeks off, the
United States expects to he able tc
obtain this 70,000 before the end of
June.
Anyone with any knowledge of
military affairs, knows that the regu
lar army is going to be a most desir
able branch of the .service on account
of the fact it will be officered by men
of experience in several years' service.
Corporal Hacker will be in Prcscott
until Sunday. He hopes to get a
number of good men here.
WESTERN COWGIRL THE
CYNOSURE OF ALL EYES
(From Friday's DaKy.)
Daily, visitors go to the Frontier
Days grounds to view the bunch of
outlaw horses which is now at the
arena. Many new contestants have
already arrived in Prcscott, some in
rather picturesque costumes. Mrs.
A. H. Ludlow, of Gila county, created
quite a sensation when she appeared
on the streets yesterday in a typical
Western outfit. Mrs. Ludlow will
very probably enter sonic of the con
tests this year, her husband coming
with the express purpose of entering
the world's championship calf-tying
contest.
The first of the relay teams to ar
rive was that of Walter Clinc's and
his string of four. Walter has been
at Oscar Conncll's ranch during the
past year and says he is in fit condi
tion to again buck the game.
Many acknowledgements have been
received from the official invitations
which have been sent to various Stale,
county and city officials throughout
Arizona, and a large attendance is
assured.
Arena Director Haworlh is spend
ing considerable time each day at the
grounds getting everything in readi
ness for the opening of the big cele
bration. A congenial crew is at work
with Wiley Hill in charge.
CATTLEMEN IN
WATER-RIGHT LAW-SUIT
(From Saturday's Daily)
A temporary restraining order was
issued against J. W. King, cattleman,
to stop him from finishing construc
tion on a dam in Mormon Wash near
Scligman.
The suit was brought by the Reid
Cashion Land & Gallic Co., which
alleges it owns certain water rights
in Mormon Wash, the same being
now conserxed by means of the com
pany's dam and reservoir. It is al
leged that King is building a dam in
the wash above the company's struc
ture, thereby threatening to conserve
o much moisture that there won't
be any left for the R.-C. Co. purposes.
The right and title to the water is
said to have been acquired by pur
chase from J. W. Sullivan.
Xorris & Norri: represent the plain
tiff. SEEK LETTERS ON ESTATES
(From Saturday's Daily)
Petitions for letters of administra
tion were hied yesterday for the es
tates of W. J. ifirchcll and Walter L.
Roberts. Mrs. Ada Roberts seeks
letters of administration on the estate
of her husband. The estate is valued
i at about $15.HXI. a tract of 275 acres
j of land near Skull valley being valued
al $12,00il and cattle and mortgages
making up the balance. W. M. Poul
Sop tiled thr application in the Birch
case, this estate consists of about
$250 in cash.
E
IS
UNLIKE NEW MEXICO'S
COUNCIL, ARIZONA'S IS
SUPPORTED BY ITS MEM
BERS; BRANCHES OF THE
WORK NUMEROUS.
PHOEXIX, June 22. The Arizona
State Council of Defense is being fi
nanced entirely by private subscrip
tion. In most of the States special
sessions of the legislatures have ap
propriated large sums for this work.
New Mexico, for example, voted $750,
000 for the work of the State defense
council. Here in Arizona the State
Council of Defense is doing just as
much work as in States where a mil
lion dollars have been appropriated.
The officers arc all serving without
pay, with the exception of the secre
tary, and some of the committees arc
paying all of their own expenses.
John II. Page, of Phoenix, has been
made chairman of the finance com
mittee and is receiving subscriptions
to carry on the work. Governor
Campbell is opposed to calling a spe
cial session of the legislature to pro
vide for financing the work of the
Arizona Council of Defense as long
as it can be conducted through the
aid of private subscriptions, thus
saving the taxpayers a large sum in
expense of a special session.
Many Assist In Work.
"Many patriotic citizens arc assist
ing the council of defense in the agri
cultural census. They arc giving the
use of their automobiles and their
time. Among those who arc assist
ing at Phoenix arc Mc Arthur Bros.,
and Thos. Maddock, State engineer.
Cobb Is at Work.
Lamar Cobb, chairman of the com
mittee on highwaj-s is at work on a
large military map of the State for
the defense council. No such map,
showing all the highways of the
State, has ever been prepared and Mr.
Cobb's map will be of great aid to
the military authorities.
Work For Enlistments.
Captain John C. Grccnway, chair
man of the committee on public de
fense and security has been spending
several days in Phoenix with Chair
man Dwight 15. Heard discussing
plans for encouraging enlistment in
the First Arizona.
Will Issue Booklet.
A neat little booklet giving the first
report of the executive committee and
telling of the purpose and accomp
lishments of the Arizona Council of
Defense, will be issued in the near
future.
Lectures Continue.
Dr. R. 15. von KlcinSinid, who is
lecturing throughout the State on the
work of the defense council, food
production and enlistment has been
on the platform three weeks and has
met with splendid reception every
where he speaks.
4 CITIES UNITE
OF
THE STATE
Special to Hie Journal-Miner.
PHOENIX, June 22. Four cities
of Arizona, which have offered sites
to the government, for cantonments
for the national army, will pull to
gether to secure the selection of Ari
zona for one of the 16 training camps.
At a meeting here today, between
representatives of the Phoenix and
Tucson chambers of commerce, and
with the endorsement of the cham
bers of commerce of Prcscott and
Douglas, it was decided to lay aside
all sectional rivalry for the canton
ment and to move in a body on the
war department lauthorities, to induce
them, if possible, to name Arizona for
one of the four remaining sites.
Telegraphic appeals have been sent
to Arizona's congressional delegation.
Governor Campbell has just re-
turned from a visit lo Major General
Green at Douglas, head of the army
commission which visited the four
cities to inspect their possibilities. It
is understood that recommendations
have been made as to two of the four
cities, but which two arc referred to,
is unknown.
It will be pointed mil to the author
ities thai due to prohibition and other
laws for the improvement of social
conditions, Arizona can offer moral
siirrouudings for the 40,000 men in
the cantonment, that will surpass
those of any other nearby State.
The combined resources of the
Stale arc pledged to the war depart
ment for the use of the training camp.

large operations.
Over 100 head of mules have been
shipped in from Salt River valley and
the rebuilding of the old wagon road
out of Hillside is going on. It is also
reported that the above livestock is
to be used" in freighting out ores that
carry a high percentage of zinc, with
other metals as a by-product. The
road has a length of about 30 miles
and the camp is near the Bagdad hold
ings, but in a mineral zone distinctive
from that copper. The Lawlcr hold
ings have enjoyed an excellent rating
in zinc since early days, and in recent
years have been examined and report
cd on favorably by engineers.
COTTONWOOD TO PUT
ON REAL CELEBRATION
(From Saturday's Daily.)
Not all of the Fourth of July joy
will be on tap in Prcscott. A pretty
good sized spiggott will be open at
Cottonwood, the remarkably growing
community on the Verde, near the
place where Jimmic Douglas is going
to build him a smelter pretty soon.
Cottonwood is preparing to put on
a regular rip-roaring celebration. This
is their first one, and they 'aim to
make it a good one. Local interest
attaches to the celebration because
Walter Arndt, a Prcscott wrestler, is
booked to go on with William Shults.
Walter takes on his third opponent
of German extraction in encountering
Shults, and if he disposes of the Cot
tonwood chap as handily as he did oi
Carl Newman and Henry Stoffers
here, he will provide a pretty fair
sort of an exhibition.
The Cottonwood celebration opens
on the dot at 3 p. m. with a series of
comedy races. There will be a spe
cial prize for a race between old
maids, but the committee isn't prom
ising any husbands as premiums.
There will be a '49 Camp, at which
dancing will be indulged in freely
but at a small cost.
The celebration this year is in the
hands of a committee composed of
A. S. Norris, McGimscy brothers,
Emil Kovacovtch, H. J. Gillette, P.
V. D. Ncff. Jim Oliver, Vic Mc
Donald, Artie Thompson, Alonzo
Mason, Charles Willard, Charles

ELIGIBLE LIST IS
MADE UP FOR DRAFT
(From Saturday's Daily)
There is one big jpb of work done,
and County Recorder Edith Ruffner
is glad of it. Sixty closely typewrit
ten pages, it is, and it contains the
names of every man between the ages
of 21 and 30, iuclusive, who was reg
istered for the selective draft in Yav
apai county on June 5 and subse
quently, by the sheriff's office.
The list is arranged alphabetically
fwhich, in itself, was something ol
a job. To each name there is at
tached the naiiic of the cligiblc's home
precinct. The regular list runs from
1 to 3,417. There arc additional regis
trations, which bring the total in the
county up to 3,430.
Four copies of the list have been
made, one for State and one for Fed
eral records, one for the press and
one for the checking list for the local
board of selection. There will be a
list kept on file in the Recorder's
office for reference purposes and any
person can have access to it during
official hours.
CITIZENS MUST OPEN
HOMES TO THE PUBLIC
(From Saturday's Daily.)
The Frontier Days executive com
mittee and the Yavapai Chamber of
Commerce arc making an earnest ap
peal to every person in Prcscott to
assist them in accommodating the
many visitors who will come to the
Mile High City during the Frontier
Days celebration. The accommoda
tions committee, through C. M Gen
try, thoroughly realizes the necessity
for the citizens coming forward and
doing their bit to relieve the present
situation. M'onday morning, Mr.
Gentry will have a representative or
representatives in the field, who will
make a house-to-house canvass, ask
ing that the citizens throw open their
homes and accommodate as many
visitors as possible. This is one of
the times when all must assist.
(Those who have already expressed
the intention of coming to Prcscott
for the celebration are among the
best people in the State. While many
will be accommodated through the
regular channels, citizens must assist
in this work.
FORCE REDUCED
(From Saturday'. Dally.)
Reports that the Bradshaw Copper
Mines Co., was preparing to suspend,
arc unfounded, and only a slight de
crease in number of miners employed
is to be made. This action was or
dered from the New York office, ow
ing to war bonds absorbing finances
that were promised. The force will
be retained at nine miners, with Col
onel Fred ISowler in charge. Devel
opment outlined for about 50 days
hence will see the usual number cm
ployed. The propertj is reported lo
be making a good showing.
A.C.
BURMISTER
PASSES
AWAY
DAY
DEATH OCCURS AT PAS
ADENA, CAL., AFTER A
SHORT ILLNESS; WAS A
RESIDENT OF PRESCOTT
FOR MANY YEARS.
(From Saturday's Daily)
Another popularly known old-time
resident of Prcscott, A. C. Burmister,
has passed away, his death taking
place yesterday at Pasadena, Cab,
after a brief illness from typhoid
fever.
Such was the sad and surprising
news contained in a telegram from
Mrs. Burmister, to a brother, R. H.
Burmister, of this city. The latter
left later in the day to attend the
funeral.
The deceased until about two years
ago made Prcscott his home, and dur
Ing a residence since 1877 had fol-
lowed the general merchandising
business here. Particulars of his ill
ness were given in letters. He was
stricken at the ranch owned by him
self and D. M. Martin opposite
Xccdlcs, on the Arizona side of the
Colorado river during the early part
of last week, and later was taken to
Pasadena for treatment where his
wife and family have been residing
since leaving this city. His condi-
tion became serious on Thursday,
when his wife telegraphed to this
city for the brother to come. While
Mr. Burmister was boarding the train
the message of death was received.
During a residence of 40 years in
Prcscott the deceased led an exem-
plary life, and his long career as a
business man was characterized with
a scrupulous regard for honesty in all
dealings, which won for him an ex
pedient name.
After leaving this city the deceased
itlj his brother-in-law, D. M. Martin,
entered the farming business near
Needles on a very elaborate scale, the
firm owning one of the largest acre
ages in the State, which was devoted
to cotton and alfalfa growing. This
property was assuming a high pro
ductive rating and the fruits of years
were about to be realized when the
messenger of death intervened. Mr.
Burmister was born in Ohio 60 years
ago, and was married in this city. A
widow and three sons survive.
OUR REGIMENT'S PLACE
IS AT THE FRONT
(From Saturday's Daily.)
Unless the First Arizona is recruit
ed to war strength by August 4th, the
rccimcnt will lose its identity as an
Arizona unit in the national army and
its officers and men will be scattered
to the four winds among the regi
ments filled bv the selective draft.
The efforts to recruit men for the
First Arizona have been certainly
discouraging. The regiment is still
short 1,200 men and the prospects of
getting them by August up to this
time seemed very slim but a big drive
has been started by the Arizona
Council of Defense fdr recruits and
it is now pretty certain that Arizona
will have representation by a unit
hearing the State's name in the new
army. The failure of the young men of the
State to respond has been due in a
great measure to the belief that the
regiment will be left here for police
duty oil the border and will not see
service in France. This is not the
case, however. The national regi
ments are to be concentrated in ten
great cantonments and intensively
trained for service with the first con
tingent of a half million men to be
sent to France.
Those men, who have extensive
military training, will naturally be
first on the firing line and will get
there long before the men chosen by
the selective draft. There will be
more opportunity for promotion and
a better chance to win distinction in
a State regiment like the First Ari
zona than in regiments filled later by
the selective draft.
It would be a lasting disgrace to
the Slate to have it said all over the
land that Arizona could not raise a
single regiment to represent the Stale
in France.
HENRY FORD MAKES
GENEROUS OFFER
(From Saturday's Daily)
The Hill Hardware Co., of this city,
local agents of the Ford Motor Co.,
has been advised by a letter of an
unusual offer made the government
by Henry Ford, in which he proclaims
his willingness to turn over the entire
manufacturing plant for any purposes
desired. The letter also contains the
following information: "We arc now
making 2,5(K.) ambulances for the gov
ernment, and if congress can sug
gest anything else for us to do we
will only be too willing to comply.
While the war overshadows every
thing else, it does not mean that the
wheels of industry will stop, or slow
up. On the contrary they will speed
up, and the factories will win for us
just as surely as will the men on the
firing line. When a nation is striving
toward a single end there is bound to
be plenty to do. It is not difficult to
understand that; we must win; we've
got to win."
BOOZE CHECKED IN
FROM L. A. ON TICKET
(From Sunday's Daily)
When Mike Marchclla started to
load a trunk onto his express wagon
yesterday, he precipitated an inquiry
into the origin and ownership of the
contents of said trunk, that lead him
right into the sheriffs office, where he
got a lesson in sleuthing. Marchclla
was approached by a deputy, who de
manded permission to put the trunk
through the usual official process of
diagnosing its contents.
The result of the preliminary or re
connaissance work was such as to
lead the officer to desire the presence
of the trunk at the carccl. So, it was
taken there and its contents subjected
to a more exacting scrutiny. This
revealed 19 quarts and some odd pints
of a sort of dark mahogany colored
liquor, bearing labels, which if they
do not lie, indicate the presence of
headaches.
The result of the find was that Mar
chclla was marched over to Justice of
the Peace McLanc's office and arrang-
ed into a sub-vicc-deputy deputy
sheriff. He was then informed that
his duty under his new commission
was to assist the peace officers in lo
cating the owner or at least the
claimant of the trunk, which was
shipped from Los Angeles on a
through ticket At a late hour last
night, Marchclla and his official guide
had failed to locate the owner of the
ticket.
COLTER FAMILY WIDELY
APART IN POLITICS
(From Sunday's Daily)
The arrival in Prcscott a few days
ago of James D. Colter, was coinci
dent with the announcement made
during the week by his son, Fred T.
Colter, of Springcrvillc, that he was in
the field for the Democratic nomina-
'.ion as governor of Arizona.
The visitor, who is an out-and-out
stand-pat Republican, a whccl-horsc
in days gone by of his party, dating
back to 1872, in Apache county, trcat-
;d the matter of his son, being in an
other political wagon, as only an in
cident. He said: "I have always
;ivcn my sons a free rein, and the
can speed up or slow down at will in
making the race on the political track.
They have had a good, start from me
ind all arc prospering financially
Since the faraway day they have been
working in their own harness, and
Fred's ambition to pull his political
cart on any track is perfectly agree
able to mc. I will not take any active
part in the coming mixup, as it is a
little late for one of my devotion to
the G. O. P. to get on the firing line
in a new trench."
Mr. Colter comes from Long Beach,
Cal., where he makes his home, rctir-
:ng from active business to enjoy life
after passing his 75th milestone. His
physical vigor is remarkable and his
intellect is as keen as that of a youth.
He came into Apache county from
Wisconsin during 1872, when it was
part of Yavapai county. He is on the
trail again for the old place to visit
with his three sons there, and a family
reunion is contemplated, in which
political matters arc to be sidetracked.
Mr. Colter meets in Prcscott many
fellow Hassayampers and he is cn
joying his visit, the first in many
years.
ANOTHER COPPER BASIN
MINE IS MAKING GOOD
(From Friday's Dailyl
The first important determination
