OUR NEXT DELEGATE,

The Republican Territorial Con-
vention met in Phoenix last Monday
and nominated Hon. N. o. Murphy
for the office of Delegate to Congress,
he being the unanimous choice of his
party.
Governor Murphy is SO well and
favorably known to our readers that
he needs little introduction. He has
been identified with all the interests
of the territory for years, and has
filled with great credit the Offices of
Secretary of the Territory, Governor
and Delegate to Congress. A few
years ago he defeated Hon. John O..
Herndon, of Prescott, for Delegate,
although the Democratic nominee was
very strong and popular man and
the territory had always been heavily
Democratic.
He has great influence at Washing
ton, and as it is now generally ad-
mitted by all we'll informed persons
that the next Presl1ent and Congress
will be Republican, with the Hon. N.
o. Murphy as Delegate Statehood will
surely come, and that at once
No man can do so much for us at
Washington at present as the Repuo-
lican nominee: Statehood is the one
object now SO earnestly desired by all
our citizens, and after it is obtained
and Arizona shines forth in the bril-
liant galaxy of stars on the flag of our
glorious country many blessings and
benefits will follow. Statehood is our
right and is earnestly desired by all.
A vote for Hon. N. ,. Murphy for
Delegate is a vote for Statehood +.
Elect him and it will follow at once

TIME TO AWAKE.

The benefit Of comprehensive sys-
tenn of government irrigation works
to the arid West can hardly be under
estimated, and it is high time the
West was waking up to the situation
and doing its share towards getting
Congress to take action. Thus far
the work has all been done by Eastern
business men, who figure that such
improvements will do more than any
hing else toward providing hon es for
The people in the West and viii even
5ually provide the Eastern manufac-
turer ana business man with larger
market. What it means to the
Eastern business man, it means in
even a larger proportion to the Wes~
tern business man, and it is time they
were awakening to lhe fact.

The Crawford county system of
primary elections is by far the most
satisfactory, and settles at the outset
the choice of the party candid dates
At these primaries the candidates who
seek the nomination of the party are
voted for and those who win at the
primary are nominated by the con-
yention. This is the law and it works
we'll. Arizona snould have the same
system. It would place the nomin-
ating of candidates in the hands of
the people, and such contests as oc-
Cured at the Phoenix convention
would not occur. Again there would
be more general satisfaction with the
candidates chosen, for they would be
the chosce of the majority Of voters.

IRISH HUMOR.

An Irishman Of the full blood can
not resist an opportunity for repartee,
no matter how solemn the occasion.
One Sunday morning the Archbishop
of COX was preaching in Dublin. His
sermon was a bitter arraignment OF
the sin of debt and the wickedness of
setting the heart on fashion and dress.
He attacked the over-dressed women,
and wound up this particular refer
ence this way:
"Now, supposin' every one of ye-
every one, man and woman, should
stand up in this church, take off the
CLOTHES ye have not paid for, just
walkin' out with only the things on
your oack ye have paid fcr-a pretty
lookin' lot Of scalecrows ye'd be-"
There was pause until the real
significance of the suggestion had per-
colated through the members OF his
congregation, then tome one snickered.
The Iudricrous side was irresistible,
and the laugh was general .-Ex.

N. A. Morford has been nominated
for Probate Judge of Maricopa County
on the Republican ticket, and that
without opposition. This tribute to
Judge Morford by the Republican
party was eminently deserved, and
we do not hesitate to predict that it
will be followed up by another COM
pliment from the hands of majority
of the voters of the county this fall.
For an honorabl" and efficient record
in newspaper work, official capacities
and many other spheres of active
business life in Arizona for the last
20 years, N A. Morford stands in
the front rank. May his success this
fall be commensurate with his splen-
did character and eminent qualifca-
tions.-Globe Times.
