WHO IS TO BE?

Tn A few short days we shall know positively who is to represent us Tn Oen- gress. Each candidates friends seem to be quite sanguine that their man IS to De the successful competitor. Discussions, anima- ted. nasty and iIl-timed, arc frequent as to the person who has the best claims upon the people. It IS said of Campbell, that he lives in Prescott and is entitled to the support of Yavapai people. Of Davis, it IS said that he is Northern man, better qualified than tour" CamDbeIl, and is en- titled to the support of the North. All very fine. Sectionalism is a very good thing to preach around this town, but what do these gentlemen do when in the South crn portion of the Territory? Then their cry is, "Down with sectionalism,' etc.
 Now, readers, let us look at Col. Wool sey's claims, calmly, without prejudice to section or otherwise. He lives just as close to Prescott and Yavapai County as docs Hon. A. E. Davis, ana perhaps little closer; and then when we look at the works of the two men, there is no comparison. Woolsey has done for us very much, and stands ''solid" to do much when he shall go to Washington. He will make himself ac- quainted with the Delegation from Colo rado, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and New Mexico; will show to theIn the advantages that can be gained by securing the trade of Arizona, and to get the greenbacks sent out from this Territory, for supplies, they will cooperate with our Delegate to secure appropriations for money with which to open up the MoPollon route and build good roads from Prescott to the Verde, over the mountains north of Coyote Holes and through Copper Canyon. He will make an effort to have certain lands set apart for the benefit of schools, and sold at a nomi- nal price, so that stock men may avail themselves of the privilege of obtaining ranges for their herds, and be secure in their pastures He will work hard to have monies appropriated for the Capital build ings to be erected at Prescott; also, for an amount sufficient to build a Mint at hls own home in Phenix. He will work true
 
 and hard for all of these things. He Is ca pablo. And then why not vote for him and secure his election beyond doubt
 Col Woolsey will make an effort to have the San Carlos Reservation reduced, and much of its valuable lands thrown open to settlement by industrious people who are seeking homes in our inviting Territory.
 Woosey has the undivided support of Maricopa County, also Pinal; will carry eastern Yavapai, and is certainly the only man that can defeat Stevens, who has been negligent of the great trust reposed in hlm by the people of Arizona during the last four years. Now is the time to strike a blow in the right direction. Iavapai is eqally divided between WOolsey, Campbell and Davis; the two latter have but little support outside of this County, while that of Woolsey is greater than that of Stevens. Woolsey can be elected by his friends re- maining firm and considering what we have sad in the premises. We know whereof we speak, and would not deceive our readers under any consideration. It is now time to move and work for a man who has none but the kindest feelings for this County, being the first to locate within its borders when the hostile Indians ruled su- preme. He has been with us through all of these years of adversity and prosperity; his whole interests are with us; he has pride in seeing this section advance and prosper. Colonel Woolsey will do just as he has promised to do by each section. Elect one of the others, and they will hang to the old California delegation, and we will continue to be without roads or other improvements. California wants the trade of Arizona, and will fight route to the Esst.s Elect Woolsey, and our word on it, he will do more than all the Delegates, com bined, that we have had heretofore, and more than the three men who are now op- posing him.
