The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-10

ing a ballot who the had voted for.
The machine ticket was the first in
the field. The machine, by the way
was composed of a number of wheels
which on all other occasions positively
refused to turn in accord. This fact
only tends to show that these discord-
ant members were without a doubt
pulling the same wire for purpose
One half of the machine was composed
of Judge Kirkpatrick. Colonel J. A. Ia
briskie and Boss Billy Reid. The
other half was less in evidence, but
it will suffice to name the cog wheels
as Mayor Schumacher, Kirk Hart, Ros-
coe Dale and Andres Rebel. The
ticket placed in the field by these gen.
tlemen consisted of the first twenty
five names reported by the committee
at the mass meeting last Monday
evening.
The committee appointed for this
work had been carefully selected, and
they arranged the name sto suit them
selves. The first twenty-five names
reported last Monday evening are as
follows: Andres Rebel, H. B. Ten
.ney, o. L. Pease G. F. Schumacher. NJ
Lamont. John Bauman, J. A. Zabris-
lzie R. w. Sturges, w. J. Kirkpatrick,
Thomas Muirhead, Fred Fleishman, E.
E. Shrine, K L. Hart John Dufton,
Alberto Moreno. S. E. Gregory, James
Coleman, NJ E. Mcintyre. Leonardo
Corrella, o. c. Parker. G. F. Slack,
John Bauer. A. Bail, H. w. Fenner,
Phil Hughes.
The ticket was fostered by the ma
chine. It's primary object was the
defeat Of w. F. Cooper for the nomina-
tion for district attorney. It's Sec
ondary object was the defeat of L. S.
Wilson for the nomination of justice
of the peace. 1t goes without saying
that if Roscoe Dale was one Of the
main wheels of the machine, the boss
ticket would favor his nomination.
Wilson somehow or other has fallen
into disfavor with the party leaders
and the fight against him was most
bitter. He was accused of every,
thing imaginable. as an officer. even
to throwing trade to rivals of the
machine.
The Cooper ticket was made up of q
few of the machine candidates and the
remaining names on the ballot. The
popular names were used asi drawins
cards, and the others as sure things
1t seems strange that the two oppos
ing candidates should be thrown in to
gether. Wilson seized upon Coope
to help out his side, and made a hare
fight to name his men. AS matte
of fact, Cooper was not in the city
but relied on his friends to win hi
fight 1t is to be feared, however tha
he made big mistake in so doing
His friends around the polls seeme'
few and far between.
There was one thing brought out i
todays fight, and that was the grea
effort of the Infants" to control tn
party nominations The object of tha
organization was now only too evi
dent to the old war horses, and tn
harmony of Monday evening is mo-
shown to be sham.
All day carriages have been runnln
between the Barrio Libre and tn
D depot. The price of votes was ava
above par after 12 o'clock and 1t locke
