Tucson
TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 1.-THE Democratic
county convention concluded its labors on
the 4th and nominated the very best ticket
that has gone before the people for years
in this county. j. B. Finley. the popular
railroad man, was nominated for the coun-
Gil and will defeat the present mayor of
Tucson H. Buchanan, easily, as the peo-
pie are not enamored Of Buehman's admin
istration. which has been weak and I'M
progressive, both the Republican mayor
and city council having failed to keep
their prediction pledges to the people,
The rest of the ticket is: For assembly,
Fileberto Aguirre, j. B. McClenahan,
Charles Hoff and Charles Blenman; for
district attorney, Frank H. Hereford; for
probate Judge, s. W. Purcell; for recorder,
Charles Shibell; for assessor Sam Finley;
for treasurer. Harry Drachman, and for
sheriff, c. B. Kelton. Most of the ticket
was nominated by reclamation, but an in
teresting though unharmonious struggle
was made for the office Of sheriff between
c. b. Kelton, Bob Letherwood (the incum-
bent. s. w. Finley and W. H. Taylor.
After the twenty-ninth ballot for sheriff,
Letherwood and Finley Withdrew in ia
vor of Kelton, preferring him to Taylor,
who was then the leading candidate. The
Democrats are proud of their ticket and
will work for 1t to man. The candidates
