Arizona,s Opportunity.


+ There are opportunities in every com
munisy which il svailed OF lead to sue
cess. At this moment Arizona ha
within it's grasp one of these oppoFtun
ity. We want statehood, we want tW'
eenators on the floor of she SENATE an
a member OF congress- who osn Nc
only be heard but can vote on every
measure affecting She welfare of Afiz
IONA. This can be secured to the PEG
pie of Arizona, RESPECTIVE OF party, oy
promptly end jointly urging upon Pres
idsnt Mckinley the appointment OF n
a. F. Penrose, Jr., as governor of the
territory. President Mckinley will APP
point the choice of the people OF Ari-
IONA il they will make their choice
known. The president has NEST en-
phatically stated THAI be would strictly
| adhere TO bone rule in the territories
gnd the District of Columbia. There
can be no question but r. A. f. Pen
ross is the choics of the people OF Ari-
IONA. la the bitter contest which has
] bsen going on il Washington over the
! govonorship, grave charges have been
made against at last one OF the promi-
| nent candidates. These charges we're
| held in sbey8noe until the aspiFant had
an opportunity TO rsfute them il he
could This was bat fair. The time
has come when the question OF charges
and counter charges should no longer
be considered. The interest OF Ari-
IONA are paramount to thes of eny in
dividusl. II Mr.. MeOord has the true
interest OF Arizona at heart he should
at once Withdraw and relieve the preel>
dent from ell embarrassment from the
pressure OF his friends and give the
President an opportunity to at once sp-
point man against whom no charges
have been or can be made. The Presi-
dent has duri3g the past six weeks
dealt fairly with Mr. McCord. Now let
MoCoFd deal fairly with the president
and the people OF Agizons, by deoently
wthdrawing.
With the appointment of Peproee the
dissentions in the Republican party
would promptly cease. Mr.. Psnrose
has belonged TO DO faction. His record
is clean and without flaw. He would
cot only De strong, clesn, upright
nan in the Governors cbeir, with the
experience and etsiwaEt character thet
would insure US the best administration
that Arizona ever had, but with his
connection in the east he would be able
to see shat Arizona was properly end
e Efficiently represented in the Senate of
the United States. Senator Boise Pen
rose, of Pennsylvania, who has just
baenselected for six years is his brother,
Senator Quay, the senior Senator from |
Pennsylvania, is his warm friend. Both |
these Senators would practically repre- |
sent Arizona if R. A. T. Penrose is sp-
pointed Governor. Besides. Mr.. Pen |
rose is largely interested in min
ing. He has brought large capital |
into tho p-EFisory AS Governor he
would give assurance OF an eco
nomioal administration that would
Zivs confidence to capital seeking in
veetnent. There would be no chance
,oF the boodler under Penrose. His
whole life of sober, careful industry is q
guarantee that as governor he would
conduct the business OF the territory on
he strictess business principles. There
De 10 question that the appointment
IF Psnrose as governor is Arizonss op-
)ortunity. Then lei us ell wolk with
me accord in the interest of his appoint
nent and we will be working in the in
erest Of good government and prosper
ty. Do not stand On the order of doing
tut let every lover OF Arizona do at
nce,n the best way he can, everything
le can to advise the President that
Iinety per cent of the good citizens of
arizona ask the appointment of r A.
:. Penrose, JF., for governor. For Ari
oua's sake, for the sake of good gov
rnment, for the sake of preventing
uture dsgofd, let every Arizonan drop
'olitics, drop faction, drop personal
nds, and all seek for the best interests
I the territory and secure the early
Of Penroee, prosperity and
utuvs statehood.-C Citizen
