President Roosevelt
 Comments.

As President Roosevelt has about reached his journeys end, and comments summed up Ot the entire tour, it IS plain to be seen that the President almost refers to Arizona as favorite, as he spoke of Grand Canyon very highly, saying: Do not mar the beauty that nature has provided this wonder of the world" with, by building a hotel or summer resort upon it's rim, as man cant improve its grandeur. He refers to the other different localities of wonder such as the Cliff Dwell ings, the petrified forests Sun set Mountain, Montezuma Gas tie, Black Crater, Cave Dwellings,, Ice Caves The Moqui Villages and other places of attraction in Ari- zona that do not exist H. other portions of the Uuited States.

NO TRUTH IN THE CHARGE
R. N. Murphy Has Never Employ
ed Outside Labor Since His
Residence Here,

The charge is being openly made
around town that r n. Murphy,
democratic candidate for mayor, is
not home man and alI his build
ings here have been erected by
foreign labor. The Express has
Investigated this and finds il is not
true. Mr.. Murphy has always
been in favor Of home labor and
has always employed il wherever
possible. He was for five years a
railroad contractor. He served
five years in charge of the meal
ester ranch, near town, aud was for
live years in the grocery business
here Several years ago he erected
double brick building on Third
Street. Contractor a. j. Denton,
home man, made The brick, and
NJ T. Barrier, of the Chickasha
Planning Mill, did the carpenter
work.
This building burned and was
rebuilt. Henry Martin, home
man, had the brick contract, end
Mr Westerman, another local car
penter, did the building. He il
also building frame house
which is incomplete at present
and G Allea, aunion labor man b.
the stone contract. while Mr, Low
ett, another home maD, is doing
the carpenter work. All thes'
laborers aud contractors live here
and are home men.
The Express makes this explain
alton in justice to Mr.. Murphy
because il believes 1t is due him
Mr. Murphy is home man, ans
for home people, in every sease 0
tue word.

number of times today to roast"
the ticket nominated bY the Re
publicans last night. We don't
intend to do any such thing. The
Express, in the first place, does
not believe in personalities in a
political campaign. In the next
place, several of the men nominal
ed on that ticket are our personal
friends. This is not saying that
they are The best men for the otiic-
es. We think they are not, and We
hope to see the whole ticket de-
feated from top to bottom. But
when it comes to roasting the tick
ct, that Is an entirely different mat,
