At the beginning of the campaign Mark Smith announced that he did not
 intend to abuse Gov

 ABUSE. had declared his intt n-
 tion to refrain from per eonallties, the idea got abroad that this was to be a campaign devoid of mud sIinging. Smith had not been on the stump week before he made It clear that he had no Well defined issue. and that misrepresentation of the governor was his sole reliance in securing vot s. He has followed that policy ever since. No matter wher-, he speaks he faIslfies the governors record and makes state inents which he ROT no other man can substantiate. In the last f W days he haE induced one of his organs In south eastern Arizona to repeat q vile cal umny on the governors character. and it will be strange indeed if h. does not resort to even more contemplible eff forts before the campaign closes. In adopting this policy Mark Smith has paid d. poor compliment to the inteli- gence and sense of fairness of the peo- pie of Arizona. He Is making votes for Murphy every day that he remains on the stump.
 It became apparent q fortnight ago that silly Hes long si-ce exploded will not satisfy the voters In this campaign. The people of Arizona have in congress Governor Murphy did his utmost to advance the credit of Ari- zona Through his efforts mcre than 7hose of any other man the threatened TepudIatfon of the Yavapal bonds was averted. The governor is proud of his work in connection with those bonds, and all that Mark Smith may say in derogation thereof will not fool the public.
 It is d matter Of record that through the governors efforts the public credit of Arizona has be Il raised to q. point equal to that enjoyed by any oth,r state or territory.

SMITHS UNFAIRNEsS
Fresh Evidence of His Underhanded
 Work in His Campaign.

Mark Smiths newspapers, in des- perate endeavor to find some spot on Governor Murphy's record to which their mud will stick. have been stupid enough to think that they could mis- lead voters and create the impression that the governor is not the friend of laboring men, by bowling that he ve- toed th,. bill introduced by Parr and passed by the last legislature which purported to protect labnring men from being "blacklisted."
 The simple facts are that when the bin reached the governor it contained no ena cting clause and was therefore without any force, and as q matter Of course he returned the bill without his approval, and the house, upon seeing that the bill was absolutely worthless as it stood. unanimously sustained the veto.
 Here is the official record from the office or the secretary of the territory

THE REPUBLICAN
 COUNTY CANDIDATE

Every taxpayer in this county should put forth his best efforts to see that NJ. w. Messinger is reelected to the ofiic., of county treasurer. He is one man who has served the county better than any of his predecessors. It is not q matter of politics but matter of business and in business the best is all ways wanted.
 Jerry Millay is one of the best known men in this county and he has stumpel in every precinct either for himself or someone else in this and previous cam paigns. He is q man whose personal interest is part and parcel with that ot Maricopa's welfare and being thor oughly competent he should by all means be elected to the council.
 Thomas Armstrong. Jr.. has lived in this county for several years past He is fully acquainted with county and territorial conditions and competent 10 deal with any question that may be brought before the next legislature He has never been an office seeker and is now in the field only at the earnest solicitation of his fellow citizens. He is
 
 soul of honor. He is lawyer that can be trusted and no question of partisan ship should stand in the way of his election to the Twenty first assembly.
 George A. Mauk is one of the most talented young men in this county and is we'll fitted by his business experi- ence to perform the duties of county recorder. He is going to poll a solid vote among his friends and neighbors and those who know him best. IL is a growing belief that his election is as Sured and the office certainly could not fall into better hands.
 E. A. Fowler, who Is an aspirant for the legislative assembly. will be an able representative of the business inter csts of this county. He is a happy combination of the prosperous farmer and the successful business man, and since his residence in this valley he has done as much as any man in it for the development of AriZona'S natural re sources and the building up of the country. He is the head of the water storage organization. the most i'm pOrtant local issue, and as such enjoys the confidence of every citizen. This subject is one that calls for legislation and Mir Fowler is logically the man who should look after it. In order to Go so the farmers and property owners of this valley demand for him q seat in that body.
 Samuel Brown of Tempe and A. r. Snowman of Mesa City are two of the most capable men that could have been chosen to represent this county in the next assembly. They are both popular in their home precincts and are both well known and universally respected throughout the county. The former is q sturdy blacksmith by trade and has already won an honorable distinction by previous service in the position to | which he now aspires. The latter is a | broad-minded and educated gentleman. | formerly territorial superintendent of schools, and at present editor of the l Mesa City Free Press.

How Smith is Regarded By a Demo

The Prescott Prospect Sunday print ed the following:
 The following letter is s.If explan- atory: The author is a warm personal fl llend of ours. and he has meny friends in Prescott. The gentleman fs an old resident of Maricopa county and has never h. en anything else but a democrat. For twenty years. to our Knowledge he has been d counselor in the party in Maricopa county. For five terms he has supported Mark Smith. Well. read what h writes to Morris Asher:
 Phoenix. Oct. 12 1900 MT. Norris Asher:
 Dear Fr:-nd:-Weu I see Col. ]. r. Wilson has quit I am sorry, though I hardly think with Smith in the field he could have been elected Still We, would havr beaten Smith In Marfcopl county Smith called the Wilson dele gation Irresponsible. so-calIed demo- crats and sand-bagge in his speech in our county. w are going to cut his throat and relegate him out of the par ty-beat him at the polls and turn him down forever. The Smith people say that # your county b hayes itself. they may allow your county in thD dis tant future tO come tO the front. Now when such men as Baker. AlcXand r. Webb, Dunbar and Neri Osborn talk that way. I say shut down on them now and bury them 90 deep they vii; never nr r. tsurrect"d. even when the Lord calls his people, for that samh crowd would create dissatisfaction in heaven. l hope every democrat il your county will ID t0 bury Smith.

I say b at Smith and We will G,t rid nf that gang. and then such men as Col. Wilson and John C. Herndon will hay" a show. Look how he treated Hern- don when he ran for congress. Now you have chance to ray him back in his own coin. Rememb.r me to all
 Yours truly.

Mark Smith is making it cl-ar to the people of Arizona in this campaign
 that so fa.' as he Is con
 HONOR cerued there is d>-
 ABLE" cided difference in
 MARK meaning between tn
 SMITH. political tit:e of hon
 Orable" anI the same word when usld as an ordinary ad jective. The voters of the territory are familiar with Marks attituGe on th speech by heart. Almost invariably he calls th4 Almighty to witness that he is an h1norab!t man, and that he proposes to be fair and decent in h-s treatment of his opponent. If ha Is an honorable. man in his own estima- ton, 1t would be interesting to have his definition of the word. We aye it to him and his fellow democrats to set tie th9 kind of '-honor' he manif:$ted when he eagerly accepted the stol-n goods contained in the endorsement of
 
 the allegation had b-6n won in open contest by Wilson at the primaries. That is q family affair for the de- mOcracy
 But all the voters of the territory are interested in noting that while Mir. Smith profess to be conducting an honorable campaign he has stopped to slanderous tlon of Gov- ernor Murphy's record from the very moment that he Geci led to make the race against the governor. Himself q criminal lawyer of Iare deXterity, Smith is coached by his leading advO- audiences that he also has had such wide range of criminal practice that he rar ly fails to make some one of his many rack Is" stick. By giving cir culation to a multitude of lies. and shrewd distortion Of the facts where lies would not serve so well. Smith is giving q new meaning to the word honorable"
 From one end If the [. rfitory to thc other this modern eX"mI lar of honor is inspiring his newspaper jLckals U the most dirty and vicious attacks upon Governor MIrphy. in the evident hope that by such methods he may stay ih, progr ss of tha gathering Murphy avalanche.

pay its honest debts. The letter of
 warning which the governor issued to | investors a year or more ago has had
 a directly opposite eff ct to that pre- dicted by his enemies. Owing to the
 hue and cry raised dt the time q great
 many miners were induced to bell ve
 that the goverIor had delivered d blow from which tE,. mining industry could not recover. As the facts bs- came known the mining population began to subScIiba tO his views. an1 now there is not an intelligent miner
 i: Arizona who does not assert that
 the governor was entirely right in
 warning the public against the faks
 mining schemes which were fast in
 turing the reputation of this territory.
 IL is undeniable that since this
 warning was issued there have been
 mOre legitimate mining deals In Ari- 2ona than ever before in the history of
 the territory. The warning had the desired effect of inducing investors to investigate the many propositions of fer, d them, and no man can honestly say that any deserving mining project has been injured through the govern or's action. l. is comparatively easy now to secure capital for meritorious mining enterprises. A year or two ago wh dozens of wildcat schem were being launched in New York and Boston. the legitimate seeker after capital was more than likely to be dis appointed by reason of mlsrepri senta- tions concerning the mines Of this territory.
 Mark Smith continues to harp about that mining proclamation. and about the Yavapal bonds. and he does not hesitate to convey the idea thai the Pima bonds. which the @upr5 me court declared to be Illegal. were included Tn the extension of the fundine act which the governor secured. These mis- statements will come home with ven geanct to Marcus Aurclius on election day.
 The marvellous resources of the ter rltory, already satisfactorily exploited by the governor, would receive still more powerful impctus with the ad- mission of Arizona tA the Union. Th"r" is no man in the territory better quail flied to repres mt it in the congress than Governor Murphy. and there IS no doubt that if he Is elected. state hood will be accorded us. He has the promises of many influential peopla q! Washington that they will push the statehood movement if Arizona goes re- publican this fall. As a business prop osition alone he should b elected, and the H. xt legislature should be strongly With such evidence of re- publican supremacy Tn Arizona. there Is every reason to believe that state hood would be granted during the short session of congress.
 A vote fol. N. c. Murphy on N6vem- Der will be vote for statehood ana inc advancement of Arlzonas interests. Vote for him, Vote for him and use your influence tu induce others to vot9 for him! Vote also for the republican candidates. to the end that wh.n the returns are in it will be found that Arizona has lined mp sol idly for stateh5od and prosperity!

MILLIONS FOR THE ExposrTroN.

The people of Buffalo have commit ted themselves to an expenditure ut about $5.OOO. GOO for the purposa of the PanAms rican Nposhion 10 D" held in that city next year. The United States government is spending about $50GG00 on its group of buildings and exhibits. The state of New York has dpp"opult- d $S00,0 and it is estimated that thr Midway or pleasure ground will cost the concessi0naries between $2.09J 600 and $3.O00, OO0 before the gatos are op. n. In addition to tn SC sums. T citizen of Buffalo, Mr. J. J.
