WHO ARE THEY?

Who are the men opposed to Pierce
Evans for mayor? II the voters will
take the trouble to spot them, it will
relieve US of a good deal OF labor be-
tween now and election day.
When you find a man opposed to
Evans, you will find a man opposed to
progress.
When you find man opposing
Evans election you will find a man who
thinks that we had better times twenty
years ago-before the railroads came.
When you find man who does not
want Evans for mayor, you will find a
man narrow in his own affairs and who
wants the city's business conducted on
the same plan.
When you find a man opposed to
Evans you will find man who does not
want the city to grow, and who wants
to sit still himself and hold every one
else down because it might cost a few
cents to make a city of Phoenix, al
though the investment would pay a
hundred fold.

1t makes the greatest difference in the

Uncle Billy was running for office.

THE CASE OF DURRANT.

So far there has been no evidence suf-
ficlent TO convict Durrant of the crime
charged against him. In fact there is
more evidence in the direction OF other
persons than against the prisoner. Yet
the police relentlessly pursue the
theory" that Durrant is the man and
must be convicted at all hazards.
The police would prefer to sac an
innocent man hung than their
theory" overthrown. The police and
detective system Is becoming mora re-
pugnant to the people constantly, and
it is cases like Durrant's that make it
so. The time has come for a complete
reorganization OF the system.
In all large cities the police force is
made up Of many men whose private
life would not bear the light of day
they are worse than the criminals they
pursue. And as to detectives it is COM
monty understood that they will do
anything for pay from the chief down.

A FAITHFUL OFFICER.

If Phoenix ever had faithful officer
his name is L. J. Wood. As assessor
and tax collector he has been reliable
and obliging. Faithful to his duty as
an officer and accommodating to in
dividuals, he has won the confidence
and friendship of all.
That he will be elected is conceded
by the Democrats, and it is only quee-
ton as to how large the majority will
be. A city with officials like Mr.. Wood
is to be congratulated.

AN INJURIOUS REPORT.
hundred fold

As an evidence that Phoenix is still forging
ahead there is such demand for carpenters
that contractors are now compelled TO send
outside of the city for them, as there is not an
idle carpenter in Phoenix, and every man who
can use saw and plane can find employment.
The lumber firms are doing lively business
and carloads of lumber are d lilly arriving. As
building material is much cheaper now people
are taking advantage of it and are building.
Gazette.
Newspaper paragraphs like the above
from the Gazette instead of being a
benefit to the town do it an injury and
are an injustice to the mechanics now
here.
Three prominent carpenters called at
The REPUBLICAN Office yesterday to de-
nounce the Gazette's statement as Who'll
ly untrue and calculated to infict still
further hardship upon mechanics, by
inducing others to come when there ia
no work for those now here. These
gentlemen who called at THE REPUB-
LICAN Office are authority for the state
ment that there are at least one hun
bred carpenters and other mechanics in
the city out of employment. Many of
them are willing to to work for enough
to pay board and are unable to find
work at even that price. Only yester-
day carpenter approached contractor
and with tears in his eyes begged for
work to support his family.
To bring more men here now would
be disastrous and the Gazette even for
