Two Tickets in the Field, Both Con-
 tatning Excellent Material.
 Next Monday the citizens of Tucson
 will be called upon to choose the officers
 who will be respu Dsible for the conduct
 of municipal Bffairs for the coming two
 years. Two tickets have been placed in
 the field, and the names which appear
 on each one demonstrate that party
 lines have been wholly obliterated, and
 that the welfare of the city, rather than
 of party, is the Laramount idea. It is generally conceded by all, regardless of party, that both ti.ksts are made ID of
 good men, who will, if elected, render
 acceptable service in the different offices
 to which they aspire.
 l Henry Bueh man, who is the can | didate for mayor on the non partisan
 ticket, is the present incum bent, and is
 we'll known in the city, where he has
 resided for many years. His life in
 Tucson IS cOnsplcuOus for it's energy
 and continued devotion to the welfare
 of the community. He has always risen
 equal to any occasion which demanded
 his attention, and nsught can be said to
 Lis detriment.
 O. F. Schumacher heade the inde-
 pendent ticket. Mir. Schumacher is a
 member of the board of supervisors of
 the county, and also chairman o' the city's committee on streets. No city in Arizona can boast of more enterprise

 services are highly appreciated by the public.
 Robert T. Millar is @ candidate for
 councilman-at-isrge. MT. Millar is one
 of the citizens of Tucson who is looked
 upon as valuable to her interests. Ia
 business be Is painstaking and accom-
 modating. During his term as a mem- per of the city LouDoil, DO objection has | ever been raised to his work. for 1t has
 always been along the line dictated by
 the greatest good to all concerned. Royal A. Johnson is his opponent, on
 the non-pRrtissn ticket, and is also wide | ly known, both as @ business nan and
 public official. He has held number
 of distinguished offices. and in each of | | aud fitness.
 | M. r. Dodge is candidate for | councilman in the first ward. Mir. ! Dodge is a book-keeper, thorough | business man, accommodating, end

 Gust. A. Hoff is candidate for tLe | honors from tbe first ward upon the | independent ticket. The Tucson Gro- cer Company OWES its success largely to
 the intelligent efforts of MT. Hoff, whose | energy and business ability are un- questioned. He has the confidence ot all who know him.
 From the second ward the non- partisan
 ticket has chosen Geo. Pusch as its candidate. Whenever msn ie success ful in the conduct of his own aff .irs. if is more than reasonable to suppose that he will follow the same policy when | entrusted with the conduct of the | business of others. No one would ever think of questioning either the honesty | or ability of MT. Pnsch, and he is justly | looked upon ss one of Tucson's sub- stsntisl citizens.
 Richard G. Brady is announced as 1 the independent csndloate for council man from the second ward. Mr. Brady is a member of the firm of Brady & Levin, and in the transaction of his business has made himself we'll and very fsvorably known to the citizens of Tucson. He is able, energetic, and enterprisipe and is fully aware of the needs of good city government. If elected he will doubtless make @ worthy official.
 For City recorder the non-p n-partissn ticket be8rs the nsme of the present in cum bent, Chas. T. Cornell, MT. Con- nell has made record in bis RdmiDis- tration which should be strong sp- peal to voters. He Is able, fsir, ana i'm partIel in his execution of the law, ard is constantly on the alert for any advantage to be gained to the city. He is property Onwner, 8 tax payer, and man of family. He has devoted much time, and every spare dollar he coulj gather to prospecting and developing mines. These facts prove 8 genuine interest in the welfare of the city and surrounding country.

 Frank s. Treat, the non-pRrtissn can- didste for city assessor, ie we'll known to all Tucson and Pima county, as one of the heavy taxpayers end substan tisl, re- liable citizens of the old pueblo. He has been prominently before the public for number of yeare, and has been 70 faithful to every trust that his name is synonomous with all that IS best in hu- manity. If elected, he will bring to the office an ability made strong by long experience, the exercise of which will make him a n ost satisfactory officer.
 On the independent ticket. for assessor is Vicente M. Cordovs, known through | out the city as sn enterprising business | man, being a macufacturer and dealer | in harness, saddles, etc.
 Harry Drachmsn and Herbert Ten l pey, the former on the non partisan | ticket, and the latter on the independent | are the two candidates for the office of | treasurer. Both are young men con- spicuous for integrity, trustworthiness, ability and energy. MT. Drschman is at the head of the shoe department IT the establishment of l.. Zeckendorf & | Oo., and Mr. Penney is cashier of the Consolidated bsnK. Either of the young | gentlemen would make an excellent of- fcer, Tn whom the utmost confidence could be placed, without the slightest fear of betrayal.
 The important petition of city mar shal is sought by G. w. Cakes on the non- partisan ticket, and s. w. Finley, Both are officers of ability and courage. Each is alive to the duties of the office, and the election of either one would secure a careful lookout for the city's interest.
 The citizens of Tucson need feel no alarm as to the welfare of the city for the next two years, for the election of
