The Phenix Herald would have it known as fact that only two republican papers fa~or M. H. Me Cord for the governorship-The Republican and Journal Miner The Herald would have been far more truthful had it stated that only two republican papers were opposed to McCord's candidacy the Citizen and Herald. The fact of the matter is there are only eleven republican newspapers pub lirhed ill Arizona and of this num- Der seven are supporting McCord and two are opposed to him for purely personal reasons. The oth- CT two republican papers do not care to enter the contest of mud sli"ging and are perfectly willing to accept McCord as governor should he be confirmed. The men who are opposed to McCord do not represent the people nor even a small part of the republican party. McCord was and is the choice. The Herald will have a hard time convincing anyone that it repre- sents the republican party of Ari- zOna.

REVEREND SIR:

My boy has been ruined by frequent
visits to that awful den OF iniquity, the
horse pool room in Olneyville, and my
purpose in addressing you (after repeated
complaints TO the officers which have not
not been noticed) is to i'm plore your aid
In suppressing this blot upon civilized
community. The place is located IN
Stokes Street and has been Ia operation
fer more than year, apparently under the
protection OF the law officers Of the town.
as no efforts nave been made TO close the
den and bring the gamblers who run the
plsce to justice. My heart is well nigh
broken snd i know not what to do or
which way to turn, IL is awful TO think
that such vile place is allowed to exist,
and the too apparent apathy of the pro-
scouting officer and the town council of
Johnston as the matter has been com
planned of often, but through some mys-
terious Influence the gamblers have full
swing and chuckle In their sleeves at all
efforts TO suppress them. IL is reported
that they brsg nt their security from ar
rest and tho large amounts they pay to
oo"'e one insure tnelr safetY. i we'll
know how difficult 1t is for a woman to
make any headwsy in a matter of thia
kind, and the only hope left TO me is
the belief that your Christian heart will
prompt you TO investigate the truth OF
what hsve written, and that you will
take such immediate steps as will drive
tbs disreputable nest OF gamblers out Of
their lsir, and save from ruin and dis
grace the many young men who dsily ire-
quent the Gambling horse pool room. |
am Informed that the ncrso gamblers
have been driving from Providence and
Pawtucket and that Johnston is the only
place in the whole state where they are
permitted to rob their unsuspeotiug We
Tins. The shame, disgrace and ruin that
has been wrought in my family from this
cause, is indeed pitiiul story. will
pray for your success with perfect faith
that He who directs all will point tho way
for you TO give aid and comfort to a
broken and sorrowing home.
Respectfully yours,
VICTIMS MOTHER.

we'll as the Notifications on the Meuse, at

OF course, there are many armoreo tur-

Armor has become more and more in
