The weekly Arizona miner., 1878-10-25
-ur.co,Y WILL SOON BE OVER.

Tn eleven days from to-day the voters of tb;s Territory will decide by their votes who shall represent Arizona as Deie- rate. There are before the people tour very good men for the office. Hiram :. Stevens has represented us for tour years ana Is arain asking the suffrage of apeopie thar he has dreadfully neglected, whether oe- sienedly or merely because he was forget ful, incompetent or otherwise, we VIII not pretend to say, but leave the matter with the neople who are to act as the jury to de- eide the case. Hon A. E. Davls, or MO have. came to the Territory many years ago. has been active in many avocations that ne has entered into, always ready to Dranch out and take the desperate chances With HIS fellow men. However, NIT. Davis came into the race at late day and, to great extent, tried to raise himself in public favor by an effort to pull down his opponents He has made the Public School his hobby, and claims much credit for the success or our public school system, while really ne has had but little to do in the premises.
 Mr. Campbell has lived in Prescott since 1864, has made money, and until this cam paign commenced has managed exceedingly we'll in saving it. He never put his gains into mines. In the early days when the seasons were favorable to the farmers he carried on quite an extensive trade with this class of people. For the past fe" years, since the drought has stared us Ill the face, his trade with the agricultural people has been limited. No rain, nc credit. The men that put gold into his coffers were summed for fear that they might ask for a pound of tea, coffee or su- gar. and take the chances of pay after lar vest. This course has not been followed by our merchants as a rule. Head X Co.,, L Bashford & Co.,, w NJ. Buffum, Doctor Kendall, A. L. Moeller, WOrmser x Co., and Gray & Co., have all been exceptions to Campbell rule. While he has shunneo mining, milling, etc, the persons above mentioned have put their heads and hands together with the farmers and miners anC struggled hard to develope one of the grand est countries beneath the sun; and should any ot them ask to represent the Territory in Congress, the people would willingly respond to the call, knowing as they dc that these men, with their hearts, money and all, are in sympathy with them-th' l hn -nally tho hnnf and sinew of the land. Campbell is cold blooaed and in sympathy with Campbell only.
 Now we come to the Hon. King ; Woolsey, who has spent almost quarter a century in Arizona. In the infancy c the Territory, Col. Woolsey struggled har' with the early pioneers to rescue the coun try from savage foe. He braved dangers endured hardships, spent his money, tim' and everything for his adopted land. II
 was the first to lead gallant band of mel
 into the mountains east of the Verde,-giv
 ing the name to nearly every stream in Ya vapai county. He worked hard openin:
 gold mines, ranches, building quartz mills
 defending his own and his neighbors' prop
 crty from the hostile Aprches. His CoOr
 were always open to the traveller and hi
 table free to the hungry. He spent for
 tune in trying to develope our resources
 and finally found himself without dollar
 but with firm belief in the future of tn
 country. He has stood by it nubly, man fully. He has served the people in tn highest position in the legislative halls c the Territory, placed the Capital of tn
 Territory where it is, and through him W
 have the honor of such neighbors as Gen eral Fremont and family and many othe , pleasant people. He is now before the pee pie as candidate for Congress; his claim are paramount to those of all the other and a generous people will sec that ne remembered and a handsome maiorit rendered to him on the 9th of November.
