record as in nowise desiring to embaI-
 rass the new executive; but, on the con-
 trary, to set such an example that might
 leave the new administration entirely
 free and unhampered. Colonel Wilson
 is one of Arizona's most able lawyers.
 He is lifelong Democrat. His action in the case above shows he is no office seeker, nor chronic place hunter. With the new deal that is reasonably ex- pected at the hands of the new gover- nor. One of our Southern Arizona con- temporaries says in effect: "We should be happy to announce that Colonel Will son had been selected as tie law officer of the territory" In thus mentioning this learned lawyer, true blue democrat and good citizen and neighbor for this position, we feel that we but echo the earnest desire of the Democracy of this county as a whole and that of each indi- vidual member thereof as unit. The HERALD considers Colonel Wilson enti- tied to any gift within the bestowal of either the people, the territorial execu- tive or the chief executive of the Usited States. Of one thing we are certain-no single Democrat throughout this entire territory is held in higher esteem by the solid Democracy of Northern Arizona than Colonel J. F. Wilson.

OUR CANDIDATE.

The Republican party will have to trot out mighty strong man to beat Judge Hawkins, for he will be a winner. A Republican said yesterday he knew of more than twenty Republicans who would vote for Hawkins as against any Republican who could be put up, simply becanse Hawkins was a square citizen in the fullest acceptance of the term, ,and that is what large majority of the peo- pie say who know Hawkins.-Star.
 In common with the host of political and personal friends of Judge Hawkins in Northern Arizona, we feel gratified at the fact that his mention as possible candidate for delegate is meeting with such a favorable reception in certain quarters in the southern part of the ter ritory. In addition to the above para graph, the Tucson Star, in another col umn, adds the following in it's support of our candidate:
 There is not more popular man in the Territory than Judge Hawkins, nor one who is sounder in the principles of the party, or one who would make bet ter impression in the halls of congress than the judge. Then he is popular with the people; he is level-headed and is void of that peacock strut which indi- cates the feather head or that vanity struck style which shows we'll on parade but is not worth a snuff in a political fight. Again. Judge Hawkins would be a self-respecting representative of the people. In Washington he would en- deavor to represent his constituents, not in the barrooms nor in the congressional saloon, but in the halls of congress and where his constituents would find him during the sessions of that body when they visited Washington, and when he returned to the territory the people who wished to see him would not be com pelled to seek him in saloons. What Arizona wants in delegate to congress is representative man, one who repre- sents the best interests of the people.
 Judge Hawkins just now seems to be the logical candidate for delegate, and should he be nominated, we predict he can be elected by rousing majority, as he is deservedly popular all over the ter rif0rv

THE Phenix Gazette has the following good words to say in regard to the new executive: Governor Franklin on Sat urday took the oath of office as governor of Arizona. He is a capable man, 8 Democrat of the old school, and under his leadership the party this fall consis- tently hope to be victorious. His ad- ministration bids fair to be clean, fair and vigorous, and every Democrat in the territory will rally to his support.
