Bisbee daily review., 1904-09-17
ACTIVITY REFLECTS DEMOCRATIC ENTHUSIASM

With the convention one week dis tani cursory glance at the probable results of that body is given Revlew readers.
 Since the strenuous primaries of Saturday last there has been a Hull in the political battle and an effort on the part of the candidates to get up close to the delegates, and as a result some of the delegates are of cigars. At present these delegates to the county convention are the most important individuals in the county. They will continue to be -ntil after the county convention adjourns, then they will lapse into oblivion again akin to that feeling that possesses an Ari- Zona Legislator the morning after the legislature has adjourned.

 Since Saturday last rumors have been flying thick and fast. The first candidate in the field was J. c. Cal laghan for treasurer after the result of the primaries had been made known. The Bisbee delegation eyi- dently looked good to him. and it is said by some that he has a majority, if not more. of the delegation. Then the other side to the contest IS that J N. Gaines who succeeded in carrying the day at Tombstone against Judge Riley, ct al. will secure the long end of the Bisbee delegation. At any rate Caliaghan has placed himself in a position to dictate the terms or a compromise.
 There is no use talking about sheriff. Stewart Hunt is already conceded the nomination by his opponents.

 The supervisor seat at the pie counter seems to have a strong at traction for many. There are TO less than four active candidates for the nomination. The foremost one at pres ent is c. A. Taylor, of Douglas. Taylor las the advantage of having his solid delegation behind him. It has long been conceded that Douglas was en- titled to a supervisor and the nomi- nat;Cn of Mir. Taylor may be put down as a political certainty. With MT. Taylor practically assured for one Of the places attention turns to the other supervlsor, and We find the remainder of the candidates hail from Tombstone and the eastern part of the county. There is Riggs, Wein. McCourt, Me Kean. Scribner, York, Hagan, and others who have not been mentioned, who are willing to serve If the people want them" Tha argument has been used that one Of the supervisors should reside at Tombstone. This argu- ment carries with it some strength, but it is rot likely that the convention will be stampeded by it's announcement. II the convention should decide to give the supervisor to Tombstone there would be three candidates to select from, York, Scribner and Hagan.
 Chas. Wallace, who has been on a still hunt for the Recorders office foI the past three n,cnths, at this writing appears to have taken lead position next to the rail. and is running easy with a show of reserve strength tc come. Frank Hare. who has beer seen on many a political course, is being held in the stalls, but is in con stant training and in the event ht should make the start when the gons sounds, there are many who would back him for a favorite.

 The Prospector sizes up the situ ation at the close of the week in th' following manner:
 Politics have taken on a crimson
 hhir franlically to keep in the. lead, darl horses are plunging into the ring iron every direction and the candidate il may istnances wishes he was sittinl on A rail fence whiting a corncol and watching the hogs eat cucumber instead of being beset with hopes an' fears, struggling in the sea of uncer tainty and grasping for political de Iiyerance. The life of the politician l not enviable, and the sympathy of tn community rather than its condemns tion should go out to him"

 John Montgomery, of Tombstone and W. E. Murphy, of Naco, have shie their castors into the G. O. r. ring

 The nOmlnauOn ol PioOoO0 Juuo and a county school superintendent may prove a source of no little worr ment for the slate makers. Ever time an office is mentioned there a Tombstone man standing alongsid ready to grab it and run. These tw offices are no exception, only there ar two Tombstone men ready to De si perinteudent of schools and guide th destiny of the school maam's.
