Of course little else is thought of or talked about but politics. The excite ment attendant on the near approach of the fateful day is on the increase. The visits of several of the candidates and rumors of possible combinations in the interests of particular candi- dates serves to increase the excite ment.

Jack sons remarks were simply confined to an outline of his policy and intended action in regards to matters affecting Pinal county. Among the other can didates who have recently visited us were Geo. E. Evans, ". H. Benson and G. H. Oury.
 w. C. Truman is away again for 9 few days. Robert Williams accom- panied by w. H. Mcqueen visited Florence, taking in Final on their re- turn.
 J. D. Holland has left for short ! turn in season for the election.
