MEN THAT ARE DEMANDED.
Two Candidates for Supervisor Who
 Should be Elected.

gift of the people than that of a super visor. During the late conventions of the two dominant parties, the ex- pressions of the individual were in harmony with this feeling. The re- suit was that there was sacred ques- tion 10 consider then in the election of men for this duty, and accordingly the wisdom of the republican party was put to test to make selections on matter of business qualifications as we'll as extending a conscientious regard to th9 taxpayer. Aside from the men selected to make the race on the republican ticket for this office. there are other things to weigh and regard officially speaking.
 The continuation of one political party in power has become question that is todaysbeirg generally discuss ed and even among the supporters of democracy to a great extent, the be- lief prevails that a change should oc- cur on thls board and the set princi- ples followed out successively in the past six years should be relieved by a change. A few months ago the noto- riety attending the county poor farm, over which the board of supervisors presides, found ventilation in the courts, and where it is today. Like wise may it be said of other tax mat ters. These and other questions are before the taxpayer and they are like wise being considered intelligently and justly so The universal feeling seems to be that there should be a remedy and to give such there should be a cleaning out. Democrats as we'll as republicans are of this belief. There is no disguising this sentiment.
 There are two men on behalf of the republican party that will endeavor to impress the voter of this country with their capability to do the work of this office on a strict basis of economy and rigid regard for official integrity. Mir. A. s. Haskell is one and MT. Bar ney Smith is the other.
 Of MT. Haskell there is everything to say of beneficial nature to the in- terests of the people. He several years ago was a member of the board, and during his incumbency his record was a faithful and conscientious one. Being fortified behind previous duties incidental to this particular branch of county duties, he knows the wants of the people at large, and he knows how to extend such a service. It will be recalled of this gentleman in offic- ial circles that during his inoumbency of the office, the expenses of the coun- rate was below three per cent and the assessed valuation of. property was less than one half of what it is today. His policy is better exemplified by what his record shows in this respect. MT. Haskell in business pursuits has al- ways enjoyed an excellent name and being heavy taxpayer it is but req sonable to extend him recognition on the basis of such rating. What he will accomplish for himself he will sacredly regard for the community, and there is no better avenue in which he can do so than in this office again. He has been tried diligently and the service given was excellent. The struggling taxpayers of today know it.
 Barney Smith is practically too we'll known over Yavapai county to need an introduction t. the people. It is we'll said of him that he is a fearless and yet just man, and as city council man of Prescott he has rigidly follow ed out clean course of duties on many trying questions affecting the financial welfare of the city. With the county we candidly believe, and so do the people generally, that he will likewise regard the duties expect ed of him, in fact more will he do so. MT. Smith enjoys the name of being one of the most pronounced men in Yavapai county, on any matter. and if he is elected as supervisor this char acteristic will be lived up to and to the last letter. His candidacy for this reason alone should commend him to the taxpayer. Men of his character and firm individuality is what is wanted, and right at the present time. No harm can befall the taxpayer by his election. That is conceded by even his partisan enemies. He is the right man for the right place. If there was ever occasion for the taxpayer to have representative on the board to speak out manfully and act according ly, now is an acceptable time. Mir. Smith has resided in Prescott for twenty eight years, and enicys a name above reproach in all transactions
