James w...s.. 'ublishss in this issus Al
announcement 10 the effect that he will be
candidate for tbs Office of supcrvis,r at the
ensuing eisction. Mr.. Haas is An old resi-
dspt in the county and is well qualified to
fi,l tho Office. His record in 9 he past two
yssrs a. sns of the "kicksrs" will not hurt
ms chances for election IN s-oar- estimation.
We hear that Henry p. Living has an
pouncsd himself as a candidate for Assessor
On tho Democratic ticket. Mr.. Ewing is the
prvssns secretary Of the Democratic County
Committse, and although still young man,
has served his party faithfully and well for
many ysars. No man deserves more from
the Dsmocratic party Of Mohave county
than Henry r. Ewing, and va hope he will
receiye tho nomination for ths Office 10
sesks.
Il sssns TO bs generally understood that
I'd. Thompson IN to receive tho Democratic
nomination for Treasurer and this 10 a. IL
should be. The present incumbent, who
owes his position to straight nomination
from his party at the last election. has goi
the big head 50 much that he announces
himself as An Independent candidate, and
cuts himself loose from his party. We hope
that Treasurer Smith and all others who
so back on their party will he badly beaten.
Postmaster krider comes out in this issue
a. . candidate for Supervisor in spite of
President C!eveiand's orders forbidding
postnasters and other eovernmsnt officials

However if Bill Bridsr would rather take
chances OH being Supervisor Of Mohavs
county than postmaster Of Mineral Park,
vs will not stand in his way. Every body
knows Kridsr az well an ys d., and any
tshy from us ~ to his qualifications for the
ONE he seeks would be entirely saperhuous.
