SMITHS TRUE CHARACTER

The Prescott Prospect of October 90 contained the following:
 The Graham Guardian, the mouth piece for Marcus A. Snlilh, revealed the tru5 character of the political usurpcr when he permitted that paper to print such glaring falsehoods as appeared in It's issue of October 26, attempting to besmirch the moral reputation of Gov eInor Murphy. The article referred to had It's origin some time ago in a Phoe- nix newspaper which was then a Smith organ. The article reCounts a scene ba- tween a lady and a gentleman in a private apartment of the Hotel Adams but did not dare give names. It is a smultty, vilainous production, well b. fitting the bawdy- monSer in who's diminutive rrain the blackmail- ing diatribe was conceived. And now MT Smith has caused the filthy pro- duction U b. reproduced in his Gra- ham county journal with an introduc- tory. giving credit from whence it came ard attempting to point out Governor Murphy as one of the alleged princi- pals. Were it not that the filthiness of the article should d-bar it from the United States mails. and that 1t is not proper literature for the tireside, The Prospect would reproduce 1t as an eX-

ample of on3 of the many ungen-le- manly methods and disreputable tac- tics employed by Smith to divert at tention from his own shortcomings (and we would not assail the sacred ness of his home or revert to Bird Cage" episod s of the henchman who must father the libelOus effusion) in or der to malign the man who will surely De Arizona's s next delegate to congress. Such disreputable methods have been pursued in every campaign Mr. smith has ever figured in-assertions With out foundation, pledges never to be tul- filled, and general deception through out. Such is the record that has wrecked a once popular man in the eyes of all Arizonans-at one time, years agone, the idol of democracy His political wir5working in the recent democratic nominating convention bears out the assumption that Mark Smith is fraud, hence he is without following and will be rebuked at the polls on next Tuesday.-Prescott Pros peCt.

structiOn work. Why? Fer the reason that officers and men are growing tired of bearing the burden and ex- pense which should devolve upon the state.'
 This also is emphatically tru, of Ar izona.
 The following states pay their adju- tant as follows:
 New York, s4,COO annually, With $23, GOO annually for Fay of assistants, clerks, etc. Office expenses are also allowed New Jersey, S1,2OO each for adjuEant general and quartermaster general Kentucky, s2,OOO; Oregon, $1 600; Montana, $1. 200; New Mexico, s6O0
 The lit;le state of Rhode Island sets an example for larger states in the lib- erality of its provisions for its national guard. The strength of the guard is limited to 1885 men; present number of officers and men, 945. The state appro- priation for 1897 was s5S, ,45O; the allot- ment from the general government was s3,45O.45. The adjutant general receives a salary of s1,2OO. with an allowance of s1,5OO per year for clerical assistance; quaI.crmaster general $1,000, with $1 GOO for clerical assistance. The as sistant adjutant general receives a salary of $25O. The armory in Newport cost S42, 900, in Pawtucket sS5,OOO. in Bristol s41 ,OOO. While Rhode Island was receiving from the general gov ernment s3.45O, Arizona was receiving s2,30S. This appropriation has been in creased to s4,616 par annum, but unless the citizens of Arizona bestir them selves this sum will be lost to our ter ritory.
 The state of South Dakota, perhaps the only state which has refused to make an appropriation for it's guard, received no apportfonment of the ma tional appropriation for 1898 or 1899. Those who vote to discard the national guard of Arizona vote to reject an an nual gift to our territory of nearly 5000; vote to blacken the fair fame of Arizona's citizzn soldiers and to prove our territory to be unworthy to be ad ded to the sisterhood of states.
 New York appropriated last year for her national guard s575,OOO; Penn sylvania $35O,OCO; New Jersey $17S,OO0; Illinois $2O5,OOO; Colorado sS4,OOO.

pHOEN1x PRECINCT TICKET.

We print today on tine first page a letter from Senator George L. Shoup of
 Idaho endorsing Cover
 SENATOR nor Murphy. Senator
 SHOUTS Shoup is chairman of
 LETTER. the senate committee
 on territories. He has rot missed an opportunity in the last ten years to speak good word for Arizona and to work for the territory when work was required at Washington.
 When Governor Murphy was dele gate to congress he had the aid of Sen ator Shoup in every movement calcu- lated to advance the territory's inter ests. Since the expiration of the gov ernor's term, Senator Shoup has re- sponded at all times to requests that have been made to him to look out for measures affecting the territory. Last December he came to Arizona as the guest of the governor and his brother and the impressions he gained here of the territory's marvellous resources strengthened his belief that statehood should be granted at once.
 Although representing a far western state, ;he influence of Ssnator Shoup in congress is far reaching. He is a man with a wonderful record. A Penn sylvanian by birth, he removed to Col orado in 1859 and was engaged In min ing and mercantile business until 1861. In September of that year he enlisted in an independent company of scouts, and was soon thereafter commissioned second lieutenant. During the autumn and winter of 1861 he was engaged in scouting along the base of the Rocky mountains. He continued as a scout until 1863, and during this time was made first lieutenant. He thsn was assigned to ghe First Colorado regi- ment of cavalry and remained in that arm of the service until 1864. when he was elected to the constitutional con- ventIon to prepare a constitution for the proposed state of Colorado. and ob- tained leave of absence for thirty days NO ScANS oS 1 lilSIiLOcI OL tudS COilN z IT. tion. After performing this service he returned to active duty In the army. and was commissioned colonel fin the Third Colorado cavalry. After being mustered out in Denver he went to Montana pnd later tD Idaho, where h. established a business at Salmon City. Since that date he has been engaged in mining, stock raising. mercantile and per5d greatly. He was a member of

AS VIEWED IN YAVAPAI
Spicy Sayings of the Prescott Pros
 pect About Mark Smith.

Here is a collection of paragraphs from the Prospect, the democratic newspaper of Yavapai county that cannot stomach Smith:
 The 'sand-baggers and cut-throats" will turn out tn mass next Tuesday and turn Marcus down.
 Cochise county democrats are giving Mark Smith the marble heart. He is least respected where he is b5st known.
 Smith will realize next Tuesday that there are many -baggers" in Ali zona aside from those in Yavapai coun- ty that will give him a death blow Tuesday.
 Mohave county is nearly unanimous In its opposition to Mark Smith, and will snow him under s,o deeply that h. will never be resurrected from the ro- litical debris.
 Mark Smith said, referring to demo- crats of Arizona: They are lot of 'sand-baggers and cut-throats.' " Well, next Tuesday will demonstrate the truth or falsfty of the assertion.
 The Mohave county Miner says: ',The campaign of mud singing in dulged in by the democratic papers against Governor Murphy is sure to drive many 1dlr mlnCeu HltH IIHeO lHS other party"
 Democratic editors of northern Ariz- ona who give faint praise for Smith are of opinion, no doubt, that Ehey are of the class that Mark referred to as cut threats and sand-baggers. Marcus A. may be correct to sOme extent.
 The Jerome News, who's editor re- fused to introduce Mark Smith in that camp when the political usurper at tempted 10 speak there short Whl.- since, speaking of the Yavapai demo- cratic ticket says that ''it Is composed of ths strongest men the party has had in the field for many years, and the personnel and excellent character of each and every one of them will no doubt add strength to ,h7 triumphal march to victory of Marcus A. smith. The county democratic tick-t is all right. if MT. Adams does take occasion to throw a boquet a. himself. If MT. Adams is a democrat he comes under the accusation of MS'4 Smith, who Tn a speech down south recently called Yavapai democrats 'cut-throats ana sand-baggers" If the democrats or this county join in any ''triumphal march for Marcus We will De sur prised.

the Idaho territorial legislature during two sessions; was g. delegate to the national republican convention in 1880; was a member of the republican na- tional committee from 1880 to 1884. In 1888 he was agail placed on the na- tional committee. and was reelected in 1892 and in 1S95. He was appointed governor of Idaho territory in 1889, and was the first governor of the state of Idaho. He was elected to the United States senate in 1890, and was re- elected in 1895. His term will expire next Ma oh and there is every reason to believe that he will be reelected by the legislature which is to be selected next Tuesday.
 Senator Shoup Is an indefatigable worker, and as chairman of the senate sition to do most effective work in aid of statehood for Arizona. He states in the letter which we publish today that at the beginning of the short session
 
 providing for the admission of Arizona, and his friends do not need to be told that he will work hard to secure it's passage. Appreciating as he does Gov ernor Murphy's earnestness and extra ordinary influence in Washington, he believes that the governors electior would be a decided step toward state hood. We print his'letter In order that the voters of Arizona may know how Governor Murphy is regarded by a statesman whose position in the senate entities hls utterances to the strongest consideration.
 If Governor Murphy is elected, and We believe that he will be elected by a handsome majority he will find him self In the hands of his friends and statehood will be as certain of acquire ment as anything can be in this world. Vote for Murphy and statehood!

As the Cochise Rc":ew pithily puts ! 1t. Which would you rather have.
 Mark or statehood?" i WHICH If you elect Mark. 1 SHALL you will have Mark and IT BE? nothing else. He will go to Washington and Go exactly as he did during the ten years that he drew pay as Arizona $ i delegate to congress look wise, eat good dinners and late suppers, help the bcys'' keep the tide of Mumm' $ Extra Dry from engulhng the capital, and permit Arizona to jog along in it's present path.
 I It is hard to teach an old dog naw tricks. Mark could net change if he wanted to. He is going about Arizona now advocating conditions that are reDugnant to modern America nism He longs for "the good old days" He Is strictly back number. He could not join the modern, date, work aday procession if he tried thou sand years. He would balk at the first sign of progressive action. Mark has had his day. It was a happy day for him, although Arizona suffered while he was enjoying it. Arizona has ab- sorbed new ideas and is determine to turn over new leaf. It is tired of be- ing a territory. It Is disgusted with existing conditions which deprive it's people of a voice in national affairs. It has the population and the wealth that entitle it to statehood. It wants state hood. It will b. satisfied with nothing less.
 The only way to get stateh ood-tha business way-is to send to congress a man who possesses the qualifications necessary to enforce the territory's de- mands for immediate recognition. That man is N. o. Murphy.
 We have the word of the chairman of the senate committee or. territories that Mir Murphy, by reason of his experi- tnce in congress and his extensive ac- quaintance with senators and repre- sentatives can accomplish much more In the direction of statehood than any one else from Arizona. We have the word of many able men in both hous5s of congress, particularly the speak CT of the house, that if Arizona goes republican this fall, statehood will surely come. We have faith that the voters of Arizona will view this ques- tion from the standpoint of expectancy and elect N. o. Murphy next Tuesday by a rousing majority.

The last report on the organized mi litia of the United States was pub

 OUR war department and is CITIZEN of unusual interest to SOLDIERS. citizens of Arizona. It
 is evident that nearly all the states of the union are proud of their national suardsmen and delight to do them honor. Arizona and South Dakota enjoy the unenviable distinc- ton Of having had legislatures which refused D make appropriations for the support of their citizen soldiers.
 The report of North Carolina says. and this may be said also of th5' Ma tional guard of Arizona: The officers and men are proud of their organiza- tions, and give their time and means u place them on a high plane of use fulness."
 The state of Nevada appropriated $75 per month to each organized com pany, to be expended for armory rent.

 And this particular pitcher deserves breaking. It did not go to the well two years ago through fear that Colonel Brodia would smash it. After resting on the shelf during a full term Of con- gress it began to wobble; then it bumped against fine p:sce If Majolica ware from Yavapai, causing it to fall to the ground. Now it is on the way to the well again, brimfull of plat !tudes and misr,pres stntations, appar- ently unconscious of the fact that the better sentiment of Arizona Is lying in wait for it with a club. There will be bad odor for few minutes after that pitcher is demolished, buI the ef- feet will be to claIify the atmosphere and make Arizona a better place for progressive people to live in.
