MARICOPA COUNTY.
Why She Will Be Found Re-
 publican.
Business Men, Ranchers. Miners and New Voters Will Support
 OakeS Murphy.

Maricopa county will give Murphy 8 plurality of from 250 to $50, and will elect at least a majority of the county | ticket. It is very simple to make this | claim and almost equally go to adduce facts and portray conditions which lead to the conclusion.
 The business men of Phoenix will | overwhelmingly vote for Murphy and the Republican ticket because they have confidence in his ability to per form the offices of delegate in an efica- cious and exceptional manner. They know he Is genial, courteous, hail fel | low, who is popular and influential where ever he goes. They know he is persevering, tactful and successful in all his undertakings. 1 As business men they dismiss the ridiculous charges which have been brought against him of having squan- dered public money as loan comnls- sioner. They know the bonds were foated, the loan effected at an expense of IA per cent. Those are figures figures that appeal to business man. 1 The expense was light for the magni- tude of the work. Keen business men of Phoenix who have had experience floating corporate and municipal bonds l have said so. Some of the cheap men who have brought these charges would have kept down the monthly expense but would have been struggling to this day with the bonds. Business men know that first class service demands a | liberal expense account and are willing to pay it if the aggregate profits justify. 1 The agriculturalists of this valley will vote for Murphy because they feel they owe it to him. They desire a market for their products. So the Murphy brothers have supplied it by the part they have taken in bringing in the north and south road. They desire cheaper freight rates in order that they may ship their grapes and almonds and grain at profit. Competition between the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific will bring cheaper rates. They desire state hood in order that their land holdings may increase in value. They believe that with statehood will come infusion of capital and perfection of the irriga- ton systems. The ranchers of Salt River valley are neither ungrateful. nor are they obtuse. They will vote in their might for Murphy.
 The miners of Maricopa county will vote for Oakes Murphy because he is man after their heart and kind. He has never advocated legislation antago- nistic to their interests nor will he ever. He is an ardent champion of the white metal and will nobly fight it's battle at Washington. He knows hundreds of them by their first name, ever greets them cordially. grasps them by the hand with g hearty grip and listens with an intelligent and sincere in- terest to their story of ledge and placer. Oakes Murphy has sufficient warm, personal, sdmiring friends among the mining men of Maricopa county to in- sure their hearty support tomorrow.
 There are other causes which will conspire to produce the estimated pu- rality. The Populist vote has been carefully canvassed.
 Two thirds of the Populist strength in Maricopa county is drawn from the Democracy. It is true majority of the candidates of the Populist ticket are from Republicans but the rank and file of the party are converts from Demo- cracy.
 Reports which has been brought in from various outlying precincts confirm the belief that Murphy and the county ticket are favorites. The new precinct of Riverside shows as the result of a canvass, 32 Repu blicans, Populists l and 13 Democrats. The same territory was almost solidlv Democratic two years ago.
 Another indication that the Republi- can county ticket will be successful is l the assurance on every side that the : new vote, the vote of ranchers and other residents who have settled in the val ley since the last election are largely
 Republicans. This is especially true of
 the south side of the river where Re-
 publican farmers who were thousands
 of miles away two years ago will be in
 evidence at the polls.
 In short Maricopa county can be
 depended upon to do her duty. She
 will not repudiate her benefactors nor | the men who are endorsed and upheld by her most valuable citizens, by the
 men who have built blocks, construct
 ed waterways and developed with their
 thousands her resources of mountain
 and valley.
