In Jack Burns, the nominee for Town Marshal, there is presented a fearless and efficient officer who who will discharge creditably and effectively the duties of his office He will turn particular attention to keeping clear the streets of questionable characters, who have nightly proved q public nuisance until very recently.
 Mir. J K. Nolan, the present in- cumbent of the post of street super visor, is the nominee for re election upon both tickets. His work shows for itself, as does his un- aminous re-nomination.
 In taking up and endorsing the prior nominations of nearly one third of the Citizens Ticket the opposition have shown some per spicacity and judgment. They should have endorsed the entire ticket and made it unanimous.
 In presenting the c i i z e n s Ticket its adherents present no sub terfuges nor false issues. By a
The oasis., 1904-04-02

regularly adopted resolution they have presented the really vital issue of the present canvas. That issue is the continued exclusion of women from the saloons. It Is qn issue that cannot be ignored nor evaded. If beaten now it will come up again and again, until it is accomplished and secured be- yond all cavil That will be be- cause it IS right. Those who have homes and families in Nogales have right to consideration in this matter, and they will never abandon this issue until it is set tied in their favor, and for all time. Nogales is no longer a frontier town given over to irresponsible influences. It is a city of homes, and those who are building homes, demand their protection fir O m uiterior and sinister influences. Election of the Citizens Ticket will be a guaranty of that pro- lection.

THE CITIZENS TICKET.

In presenting to public consid- eration the Citizens Ticket of candidates for municipal offices to be filled by election next Monday, the Citizens Mass Meeting which framed the ticket, nominated some of the best known and most capable business men in the line city, in whose care the business of the town will through the coming two years be carefully conducted and it's affairs economically ad- ministered.
 The seven candidates presented for trustees are particular y strong men.
 In Captain L. W. Mix there is presented one of the most emerge tic, enterprising and successful of the business men in Nogales. Long and successful experience in enter prises of moment and importance have made the Captain one of the foremost men along the lnterna- tional line, his business interests upon both sides of which are ex- tensiye and varied. He has served two terms upon the Town Board in former years, during the early period of municipal history, and ac- complished good and effective work. He has also served upon the school board. where he did likewise. Liberal and public spirited Captain Mix is ever at the front in all works for the public good or bene fit, giving freely of luis time and money to aid all worthy objects He has already proved model Town Trustee, and, as his merit and worth have been recognized by nomination on both tickets, he Is surely drafted for two years public service
 Mir. J. A, Spinks, second on the list of candidates for Town Trus- tee, is well and widely known as The manager of the extensive gro cery and general merchandise business of Proto Brothers, in which important and responsible post he has gained the respect and con- fidence of all classes To the pub lie business he will take the same acumen and energy which have stood him so well in his respon- sible employment. Nlr. Spinks has been also nominated upon both

 Mir. A. l.. Peck, who is a candi- date for reelection as Town Trus- tee. is one of the best known busi- ness men in the line city. A pioneer in Nogales, and long en gagged in the livery business here, Mir. Peck is well and widely known as most effective and active worker. Always standing firm y for the right as he sees the right, and utterly fearless in the expres- sion and support of his opinions, no one is ever in doubt as to where Mir. Peck stands upon any public question. And having taken his stand he is willing to rise or fall with the principle involved in the issue at stake. He is never time server, but always for what he considers right. It is that characteristic and disposition of the man which have brought about the present active propaganda against his re-election. In the present Board he was very aggres- sive and active in working for adoption of the ordinance exclud- ing women from the saloons. And he has been foremost in making the issue in the present campaign that the ordinance of exclusion shall not be repealed. It is for this reason that most determined fight is being made against his re- election by the reactionary ele- ment, who dare not openly espouse returning women to the saloons, but hope to accomplish by indirec- tion what they cannot do directly; and who know that with Peck in the Board there will be an in- superable obstacle to their plans. For that one reason Mir. Peck should be elected, and friends of public morality have every con- hdence that he will.
 Mir. k. $. Sturmer. also candi- date for Town Trustee, is pro- minent business man of the line city, having conducted successfully the American Bakery. He is an energetic, capable business man, and would be valuable acquisi- ton to the Town Board.
 Mir. Schuyler Case, the mason and building contractor is another of the seven nominees for Town Trustees Mir. Cases handiwork is in evidence in many of the most important buildings in Nogales, and he has acquired here consider able valuable property, while his business capacity and conservatism will make him capable and eff cient municipal administrator.
 V. A. Smith, the watchmaker, is the sixth nominee upon the ticket for Town Trustee. Mir. Smith is a sterling. straightforward gentle man, a property holder, and man widelysrecognized for probity and integrity. He will make a careful and painstaking official.
 Mr. Melville F. Van Trees com pletes the list of nominees for Town Trustees. He has been resident of Nogales a number of years, all that time in the offices of the Southern Pacific ailway, where he has held Important sffd responsible positions. He is a propestys holder, and has "a pefnna- nent interest in the. welfare of the town. His well known ana proved business capacity wild make him valuable member of the Town Board

The receipts of the United Sta tes from taxation during the year ending June Both, 1903, were in round numbers $51S,- 100000. This was practically all derived from two sources, du- ties on imports and internal rev. enue. The amount of duty on imports was $2S4,479,5S2, the amount collected from internal revenue was $23O,S1O,124. It will thus be seen that more than one-half the entire revenue of the government was derived from duties on imports.

Object.

I'VE shall divide this section into four
distinct parts. First, The object Of this
organization shall be to advocate and
maintain the principles Of Republican
ism.
The foundation principles OF Repub-
licanism is that the people, as a whole.
must not be governed without the con-
sent Of the governed. The practical re-
suits of that principle was clearly de-
monstrated when the thirteen original
colonies organized themselves and re-
fused to be governed by Great Britain.
As practical demonstration OF the
results that may be obtained by gov
eminent founded on that principle we
have living monument in the greatest
nation on earth-the United States Of
America. And we, the members of the
Scandinavian Republican Club of Ward
County, are proud to know that we are
permitted to be small particle in the
component part of that grand institu-
ton. In exercising the privileges ex
tended under the principles Of Repub-
licanism we have very wide range o1
action. We may clothe our executive
with the most despotic powers, even ia
the taking Of life and property, or We
may reserve1 the right to be the censor
of every act that he is to perform. In
the United States each citizen has au
equal right to life, liberty and pursuit
OF happiness. The sincerity Of our be-
