your choice for each and every ohe the following peerless citizens of ol' Apache.
 HON. MARK A. SMITH,
 Who has represented ArIzona for foul successive terms in the halls of Con gress, is the nominee for Delegate tt Congress. His education, his lega abilities, his eloquence, his knowiedg' of parliamentary law, hls acquaintance with congressman and senators, ant with the leading men of the nation 1T both the great parties. his power anC inclination to work for his constiiuenti all united, make hlm, of all the aomi nees, the best man for the position.
 He has never tired, at any time in the past. to pass any memorial or othel scheme through Congress for as owr benefit only, hut he has workes ear nestly for Arizona's advancement al ways.
 He has never entered into any con spiracy to defraud the people or pass 6 law that would increase their already heavy burdens. He is not treacherous he does not deal Tn deceit. His honor is unquestioned, his Democracy un' doubted. The next president. ". J Bryan will need the services of such able men as Smith to aid him in his contemplated reforms. The next Con gress will be in favor of silver, and the people of Arizona will be furthering their own interests by electing Hon. Mark A. Smith to Congress. SOL EARTH,
 The industrious and sober merchant ot St. Johns, is nominated for the Conn. cil. No one realizes more than he that he has been under the ban in the past but his intention now is to retrieve his character from the odium which has been attached to 1t, and asks the voters to give him chance. He has no DO. litIcal "ax to grind" so he informed the writer. He is a taxpayer, and hence his interests are with US.
 It has been asserted by his oppo- i nents that he intends 10 recover war rants through legislative enactments that he has failed to recover by law. This he cannot do, because it is not within the power of any legislature to legalize an illegal thing. Sol will make his own refutation of these charges, and will stand "square" before the vo. ters. Give hlm chance
 If he is sent to the legislature, he will not dishonor Apache county, neith- CT will he prove false to the trust the people repose in him. Give him 8 chance.
 J. B. PATTERSON,
 The enterprising sheep man and finan- cier, of St. Johns, is the choice of the Democracy for the House. Hs is able and influential. easily assimilating with all classes of citizens, sober, care full and industrious. His support will not be given to any law or memorial to defraud the people or to increase their already heavy burdens. His vote will be registered against all such measures. He is large taxpayer and is il terested in the county's growth and prosperity. His intelligence will make him the peer of his colleagues, and will do honor to the county.
 ST. GEoBGE CREAGHE The nominee for Sheriff, has held the position once before, and then made good officer, being careful, obliging and economical. He will not make large fees out of the office and then take bis money out of the county to spend it. He is large taxpayer and a successful stock man of the county, hence hIs in terests are with us.
 If he IS elected, the voters may ex- pect economy in his ministratlon of af- fairs Tn his ofhce-no unnecessary fees, no prisoners escaping and none arrested without cause. Voters, give some of your attention to this matter, and St. George will be elected by an oyerwhelm- ing majority.
 The nominee for Probate Judge is
 
 Whose education Is superior to that of any man in the county. hence he is well qualified for that important posi- tion. Dr. Craig is moral man, indus trious and energetic and as Ee has kept the district court records in good shape, he will do the san e if elected Judge.
 He is young man of good and prom ising abilities, a resident of t. J"iIns, a taxpayer, and therefore is interested in our advancement educationally. He will make a worthy and popular Judge, and will do all in his power to please the schools. teachers and trustees in the discharge of his duties as school 
 Mir. Craig is thoroughly honest, and the school funds will be safe in his hands. If the voters elect him, they will make no mistake, notwithstanding the and predictions of his oppo- nents 10 the contrary. Every man who wants good county every voter who expects our school system to improve, every citizen who has pride in his county, and who expects county affairs to be inteliigently and impar- hally, will vote on November 3, for Dr. s. M. Craig.
