Bisbee daily review., 1902-07-30

ssaer his gallant fight for statehood ..c should receive the unanimous en- dorsement of the territory, as an evi- dence of the desire for self-govern- ment among our people. The disposi, ton seems to be to send an uninsruct- ed delegation from Cochise county to the territorial convention, under ex- isting circumstances, but of course nothing can be hardly guessed in that matter now, because .as stated there the congrssional proposition
 The Resuls Two Years Aao
 The election last year demonstrated that party lines cut little figure, as some of the candidates on both tickets ran away ahead while others fell far behind The Bisbee campaign was somewhat unique. The Review split its front page in the middle and the democrats fiddled on one side while the republicans danced on the other and vice versa Every politician had access to either one side of the page or the other and the editor of the Re view had access to neither. V. R. N Greanes was the editor of the Re view during the campaign and many of his gray hairs were sprouted dur ing that memorable period in his life. When the result was announced it was found that both parties had elect ed som. of their candidates. The democrats got the most. In Bisbee Mark Smith had majority for con gress of 150 or more, but the votes of the remainder of the ticket were by no means on political lines. When the total returns were in from all the the democrats had elected the follow ing officers:
 Legislature-Stephen Romer of Ben son, and Michael Gray of Pearce; scheriff, A D. Lewis of Bisbee; treas urer, Nj. D. Scribner. of Tombstone; recorder, Frank Hare of Tombstone: district attorney, E. W. Land of Tomb stone; probate judge, c. R. Bostwick, of Huacbuca; assessor, Walter T. Fife. of St David; superintendent of
 hools. E. S. Nichols of Wilcox; su-
 .rvisors, Thomas R. York of West
 lachuca and P. J. Delebanty of Ben eun.
 The republicans elected the follow ing;
 Councilman, c. C. Warner of Bis Lee; legislature. H. M. Wood of Bis bee; surveyor, J. A. Rockfellow of Tombstone; supervisor, George B. Reay of Bisbee.
 Probable Candidates
 
 So far DO one has publicly arnounc- ed their candidacy except Del Lewis for sheriff, but notwithstanding an several are known to be aspirants. For the legislature a number of dem- ocrats have been mentioned, among them Steve Roemer and William Land of Benson; E. C. Ord and A T. Sowles of Bisbee; B J. O'Reilly and William c. Reid Of Naco; Alfred Paul and George Meek of Bisbee and John Bra win of Tombstone.
 No one, other than Del Lewis, has been mentioned as an aspirant for the democratic nomination for sheriff; the same may be said regarding the present incumbents in the of,c ces of treasurer and recorder. Lewis, Scrib her and Hare seem to be quite satis- factory, though there may be those who will try for some Or all of these positions. Sch Leavenworth and J. NJ. O'CoDnell are both mentioned in connection with the democratic nom ination for district attorney. l. W. Wallace Of Bisbee and Bra1nich Riggs Jr., of Wilcox, both democrats, are believed to be available for probate judge. For democratic candidates for supervisor J. J. Bowen of Bisbee; George Meek of Douglas; Thos. Good body of Naco and Ben Sneed of Naco, have attracted attention.
 Among the republicans there has been considerable quiet talk on mat ters pertaining to the coming election. Charles C. Warner and Biddy Doyle are mentioned for sheriff. Captain Mossmap has also been often men, toned favorably in connection with this ofiee- F. N. Woilcott of Tomb stone and Joe Muheim of Bisbee have had their names connected with the ofice of treasurer. Charles Bowman of Tombstone is looked upon as probable candidate for district attor- ney. For supervisor republicans in Bishee have talked of Pete Johnson. Ed Scott. H. N. Wood and John Mont gomery. Honest John."
 Theee gre only . few names for a starter, but TO one ie shut out by any means and DO doubt the crop of cap- dldates in Cochise this fall will be unusually large.
