Now that the town election is over
it might be just as well to state some
inside facts.
Three or four weeks ago the editor
of the Times was approached by q
party who shall be nameless. who I'M
folded has grievances about as follows:
"Say, amt you fellows going to get
up an opposition ticket against Frank!
If you don't, some of the rest Of us
will have to, because if there is only
one ticket out, not bean will be
blowed in at the election and some of
the boys will have to go hungry. A
walkover election means no STUFF
The nameless man was informed
that an opposition ticket to Frank
had no show of election, bat one
would probably be put up as a matter
of form. This was good news to "the
boys"
The election is said to have cost the
victorious party about $500. Two
rigs were chartered for hauling voters
at $40 each. Seven or eight "work-
ers" received $40 apiece. There are
IS votes in town that don't come out
unless paid for and the price of these
runs from 80 cents to 81, with CON-
mission added.
Had the Peoples ticket not been
put in the field, another one certainly
would have been and that for the sole
purpose of compelling the "sack" pol
iticians to give down. Such is an
election in Yuma.-Yuma Times.

A Washington press telegram of
yesterday says. representative Wash

committee on territrries, says the
committee will undoubtedly prepare a
bill containing enabling acts by which
Arizona and New Mexico can hold
convention to form constitutions that
may be voted on by the people at the
coming election in November. The
bill will, he says, in all probability
be so framed that the territories may,
after the constitutions are adopted by
the people, be admitted by proclama-
tion of the president SO that further
action by congrass viii be unneces-

TEsE RESULT.

The town election last Tuesday re-
suited just as the SENTINEL expected
It would, that the Citizens ticket
would be elected from top to bottom.
The issue was the endorsement of the
acts of the majority of the Council,
Samuel S. Gillespie, Mel. Greenleaf
and Mayor A. Frank. The peoples
verdict has been given and in no un-
certain tones either. The victory was
not due to any Frank, Darlington or
any other combination. 1t simply
was gained by the almost unanimous
backing of the tax payers Of the town
of Yuma.

neat looking structure.
