WELCOME TO
 GOVERNOR ERODE.

GOVERNOR ERODE.
 When Governor. Brodie, accompan- fed by Mrs. Brodie and his official stan. reaches Bisbee today, he will receive a welcome more cordial and sincere than has ever before been ex- tended to governor by any town in Arizona Governor Brodie and party comes to Bisbee, by special invitation of our Fourth of July committee. ex- tended through MT. W. H. Brophy. to join with us in the celebration of the anniversary of American independ. ence and to assist in the commemora- tion of our heroic forefathers, who en- dured so much for the cause of liberty and self government
 Governor Brodie has only begun the discharge of the duties of governor, hence his presence here is due to no ofiicial act for which our citizens are grateful, nor is his presence here the result of any political move or to fur. ther any personal interest. He comes as the guest of a people who desire to do honor to a man who has distin- guished himself in defending the honor of the flag which our revolution ary fathers adopted and handed down to us; man who has sacrificed the comforts of home to face the dangers of war in maintaining the honor of our country; a man who has devoted hir intellect and means to the development of the resources of our territory; a man who has been called to the high est office in Arizona, not as a political reward, but as recognition of earnest devotion to country, undoubted cour- age and boundless patriotism. Gov ernor Brodie is not politician, and his presence will be clouded gy the pres ence of no one who will selfishly az tempt to dim our patriotic devotion by trying to advance political ambition
 The governor will be our guest for three days, which Bisbee may well consider to be distinguished honor. especially at this time, when he IS only entering the office of governor, and has many important matters de manding his attention.
 It will not be possible for all our people to extend personal greeting to Governor and Mrs. Brodie, but they may emphasize the cordiality of the welcome extended through the select ed commi ttee by their presence when the train arrives this afternoon bear ing our distinguished guests.
 During his stay in Bisbee Governor Brodie will be fayorably impressed by the hum of industry v..h which he is surrounded; he will have an oppor- tunity to see what American energy and determination have accomplished in building a city where every build ing foundation has been gashed or suited over rugged canyons; he will find here a population of 5000 people engaged in bringing from our mines the rich copper ore, for which this section is noted, and reducing 1t to the pure metal and sending it into the channels of commerce to enrich the nation; he will find here many more who are devoting their energies and means to the still further enlargement of our mineral industry; he will find business and professional men indus triously following their calling and loyal to every interest that will add to Bisbee's growth and prosperity These are the people who will bid vel come to Governor Brodie today, and throw wide open the gates and every door for his entertainment
 The Review extends it's welcome to the gubernatorial party and wishes that each will find their visit here one of pleasure.
 Welcome,
