come in contact his personal friends and admirers. And while Henry Kemp has been doing business he has shown himself to be a thorough business man just such man as Maricopa county wants in the last legislature before statehood and which must necessarily he business legislature. Politics are forgotten by the people when Henry Kemp's name is mentioned.
 The assembly ticket is strong and symmetrical. There is J. A. Marshall, the "honest blacksmith," who went into the fight with the prestige of vic- tory two years ago when the county was overwhelmingly Democratic. His work in the house justified the conf- dence of his Republican supporters then and of the Democrats who pre- ferred an honest man rather than party success.
 A. E. Hinton, another candidate for the lower house, will prove winner. He is an infusion of new blood and the best kind of blood. A young man of education and tried business capa- bility. wide acquaintance with the people of the county and the county's needs. His selection by the convention for place on the legislative ticket was tribute to the wisdom and good iudg- ment of that body which will be warm Iy endorsed on November 6.
 Nobody doubts that Perry Wildman of Tempe will occupy seat in the lower house of the Eighteenth and last territorial legislature. His personal popularity alone would secure his cleo tion in this county for his popularity is based on his sterling qualities and busi- ness capacity. He is frequently spoken of as south side candidate. That is only geogra raphical distinction. He is 8 candidate of the north side, the south side, the east and the west sides, and his residence in Tempe is only incidental. He is, moreover, the candidate of all Re- publ1cans and those Democrats who are interested in their county rather than in their party. There are more Demo. crats of that kind this year than ever before.
 The legislative ticket is concluded with the name of w. s. Johnson of Mesa, sterling Republican, repre- sentative of the most densely populated agricultural community of the chief agricultural county of the territory. If the legislative ticket had lacked the name of such man as MT. Johnson it would have been incomplete. He en- joys the fullest confidence of his neigh bors and his party, and this confidence will find expression in his certain cleo tion.
 The next sheriff of Maricopa county is W. F. McNulty. MT. McNulty is not a politician, but he is more, tried and honest man. He has before held office and was called in the same manner he has now been called, by the united and spontaneous voice of the people. Mr. McNulty's strength lies largely in h1s long and wide acquaintance and no higher compliment can be paid any man than to say that he has gained strength by acquaintance.
 That Jerry Millay will be the next district attorney of Maricopa county ia a foregone conclusion. He will be dis trict attorney for several reasons. The office will be his reward for long years of useful service in private capacity. The voters of this county are not un- recognize ability. Col. Millay is now and has been for years among the fore most and most successful practitioners at the bar of this and other counties No better man and few equally as good men could have been named for the office.
 Everybody knows Win Sears and nearly every body believes that he will succeed to the county recorders office He is personally among the most popu- lar men in the county and he has fully demonstrated his clerical and executive ability to meet the duties of his office
 That the duties of the county asses sor's office should be discharged well and equitably it is necessary that the occupant should be 8 man of honesty good judgment, having thorough knowledge of various kinds of property and that he should possess steadfast. ness of character. That is the kind oi man H. B. St. Claire is and the people know it..
 The Republican candidate for probate judge is c. W. Grouse of Mesa. He ii man of affairs and experience and hiG experience has peculiarly fitted him fol official duties. The affairs of this office will be safe and will be promptly anG faithfully performed by him.
 If the people of Maricopo county were invited to make up list of the men 1T whom they have confidence, and whom they would delight to honor for quail ties of honesty, character and ability the name of M. W. Messenger would be found near the head of the list. MT. Messenger happens to be the Republ1 can candidate for county treasurer. Hi election will be only recognition ol the qualities above described, and tht office will have been placed in safe and able hands.
