The Richmond Dispatch says: The
announcement made several DAYS ago
In Washington special that Hon.
Claude A. Swanson, of Pittsylvania,
would be candidate for the guber-
material nomination, and the accom-
panying declaration that his candi
dacy had received the endorsement of
Hon. Thomas 5. Martin, seems to
have been premature. A close friend
OF Mr.. Swanson, as well as of Sena-
tor Martin, who has just returned

EDITOR SMITH: As visitor to Pres
colt this week | wish to say that our
party was received with "open door"
hospitality by the good people of this
very recent shot town" We found
comfortable beds and plenty nourish-
ment for the inner man. These people
without exception are making no com
plant whatever, telling no tales of
woe, but with western courage are con-
tracing for twenty million bricks,
train loads of building material and
furniture for new places of business.
Without question new Prescott will
have an adequate water supply, graded
streets, fine sidewalks, and substantial
and beautiful blocks of buildings, in
cluding at least one modern hotel to
cost 300,000s. What now appears to
be a misfortune, calamity, will in
two years from date be blessing in
disguise. These courageous and enter
prising Arizonans deserve great credit
which am proud to voice.
