TIE ERA wishes tO again call the
 attention of it's readers to the fact
 that the republican party of Graham
 county has >ignificd it, willingness to
 assume the responsibility of county
 affairs by placing a republican ticket
 in the field. It k q clean ticket from
 top to bottom. made up mostly of
 men who have long resided in the
 county, and against whom no charges
 of any kind have been made. In
 point of efficiency and competency
 for the positions to which they as
 any ticket ever placed before the
 people of the county. While it k
 true that aS whole they are not
 men of great wealth. it k also true
 that they are all honorable men and
 have the respect and confidence of
 the people of the county. If elected
 they can be relied upon to give the
 people clean and economical
 administration of county affairs. It
 has been demonstrated time and
 again that the interests of the people
 are better served by an occasional
 change in administrations. A
 party which has been too long in con- trol is apt to become arrogant, care less and even corrupt. Nothing bet ter can happen to a dominant party than an occasional defeat. for the reason that it makes them more careful in their nominations. It causes them to select thicr candi- | dates with q regard to their fitness ! for office rather than a> to their | qualifications aS politicians. This | county has long been under the con- trol of the democratic party. so long in fact that many democrats have l themselves become weary and have l been clamoring for a change. The is now given them, and 1 if they avail themselves of it the ERA is confident that they will never re- gret it. Let the people go to the polls with the determination of selecting the men best qualified to fill the offices. and the result will be that the efficiency and service will be improved. Our people arc certainly more deeply interested in good, clean, economical county government than the local success of any ticket.

DURING the past few weeks the ERA ha, devoted much of it's space to political matters, but the campaign k now over SO far aN the newspapers are concerned. and we are not sorry of it. During tine campaign the people talk politics and they want to read politics, and we have cndeavored to supply them with it iua reasonable and conservative manner, at all times being careful to stick closely to the truth. We have not indulccd in pcrsonali liticS, which leave a bad effect in the community long after the cam plign k oyer. The candidates on all three of the tickets in this county are well know to all the people. and it is for them to select the ones which they think will best serve their interests.

Socialist Resolutions.

The socialists held big mass meet ing at their hall on Chase Creek Mon day night. at which the following resolutions were passed and sent to the ERA with the request to publish:
 WHEREAS. The Socialist party of Graham county. Arizona. have placed a legislative ticket in the field as follows. Karl NJ. Schade for council. and Lorenzo Watson and Geo. w. Williams for the assembly. therefore leaving the nomination for county offices on our ticket vacant. This action seems to cause a great deal of uneasines> among the politicians and office seekers. Under these circum- stances We deem it necessary to de fine our position on this matter.
 WE. the socialists of Graham county. fully realizing the deplorable condition of affairs. debt hardened. mismanagcmcnt. incompetence, and wasteful extravaganza of the pollti- cal gang who have controlled the offices and political affairs of Graham county for the past twenty years or more. While the socialist party can not enter into any combination with other political parties but as in- dividuals We will and shall assist all honest citizens irrespective of parties to combine with our assistance in the worthy effort of effacing for once and forever the corrupt gang who have so long disgraced the political offices of our county.

FOWLER AT CLIFTON.
Republican Candidate for Congress Ad-
 dresses Laree Audience.

On Thursday evening last the Hon. E. \. FOwler. the republican candi- date for delegate to congress. ad- dressed the largest political audience that has been assembled in this city in many years. The speaker vas in- troduced by Col. VI. J. Egan. in few wcll-chO,en words.
 Mir. Fowler announced that he was neither an orator nor q politician. but had been engaged in active busi- ness pursuits until he came to Ari- zona about six years ago. At that time he was merely travelling through the country. but found the Salt river valley irresistible and bought farm there. He commenced farming just at the beginning of the big drouth, and saw his crops wither and his trees die for lack of water. With the idea of saving hi, investment, II possible, he was instrumental in or oanizing the Salt River Water Users Association. of which he is the presi- dent. He was then selected by the association to visit Washington for the purpose of securing national aid tqf>yds retaining the arid west.
 a---1 he was successful, hay
 sental in securing an
 S6,OOO,OO0 to be ex- pcnded on the TShrU -;dIIn 'l,a61e C, ald, on the Colorado river scheme. The work at Tonto basin has been begun and is now well under way. and will be completed in d year or two.
 FAvORS SINGLE STATEHOOD.
 In reference to the statements that ! have been made to the effect that he was opposed to single statehood. Mir. Fowler said: The man or men who circulated that report know that its untrue. have always been in you | would now go back on my rec ord:' He asked the audience who they thought could serve them best in congress. Il man who counted as his friends the president and mem- bcr~ of the dominant political party, or the man who had no influence eX- Ccpt with those of the minority. His friend. Mark, he said. had been elect ed six times on the issue of state hood and there was time when the president and both houses of con grcsS were democratic, vet Mark did not get statehood. And if he could not get it under such favorable cir

The Bank of Yuma last week closed improper banking methods" Dur ing the same week the announcement was made that T. w. Thornton & Sons. bankers of Yuma. had sold their banking business to T. x. Porter and associates U- Graham county. The people of Yuma are to be Congratu- lated on securing an institution which does business on sound. safe and conservative" principles. As the ERA remarked some time ago, it would seem that Graham county men. and Graham county capital. are destined ere long to control the bank ing business of southern Arizona. Mr. Porter started the first bank in Graham county, at Stafford. The fol- lowing year \. G. Smith and associates opened the Gila Valley bank at SolOmOnvillc. and since that time there has been friendly rivalry control of the banking business of southern Arizona. Mr. Porter's next move was to start q bank at Globe, and later he bought the Bank of Clifton which he organized into the First National bank. About that time the Gila Valley Bank entered an era of expansion. by opening banks at Clifton and Morenci. and later it purchased a small bank at Globe. which it reorganized and i, now running. During the present year Mir. Porter organized the First National Bank of Bisbee, just to make the thing even. and now he has branChed out into the Colorado river country, and there is really no telling when he will stop. He now has ''one on" the Gila Valley people, but the chances are that they will even up the score before many months. At the present time nine banks are con trolled by these two institutions in EraariQus- -narts- of inc -lerEitaEx--aud they are backed entirely by home cap italists, who have perfect confidence in both institutions. The ERA hopes that they may continue expanding until they have branChed in every county in the territory.

Fl PaS won both games by d good safe margin, not withStanding the fact that they were stoned by the spectators says the Fl Paso News. 1t is hard luck for the editor of the Citizen after he has de- clared his team equal to the national league teams.

Friend islikes the Fighters.

Is it not time for the decent people
of Honolulu to call a halt in the prize
fight nuisance? Some years ago, it will
be remembered, State after State in the
Union put itself on record as condemn
ing these brutal contests, solely on the
ground of their bestializing tendencies.
However it may be in China, certainly
it is true that no japanese immigrants
ever witness at home such disgusting
scenes of animalism as are fast becom-
ing one of the characteristic features
of Honolulu life. Some of us over on
the mainland, have helped fight this
battle of decency versus greed; for
money considerations alone maintain
this cruel sport. If our Legislature
should enact a law forbidding the
charging of entrance fees for any kind
of boxing contest, as was done in
the whole vile business
would cease, and no harm whatever
would be done to the manly art of self
defense. Hawaii poses as a Christian
invites the so-called heath
en- to come here and labor, and then
proceeds to debauch the young people
Of all races with bestiaI exhibitions
that are tabued in many parts of the
-ianity worthy of Russia. Let Chris
-ians who mean business prove their
senuineness by getting together TO
purge this Paradise of this relic of in
=erno.-The Friend.

CRITICISE TIE
WCKSBURG

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20.-RefusaI
of the commander of the United States
gunboet Vicksburg to unite with com
manders of other foreign warships at
Chemulpo to protest against the fight
ing there on February 8, which resulted
in the loss of the Russian warshiDs
Variag and Korietz, and the fact that
the Vicksburg did not take on board
any of the surviving Russian soldiers,
has created much unfavorable public
comment here.
The foreign Office, however, shows no
disposition to criticise the commander
of the Vicksburg, and advanced the
suggestion that he might have been re-
strained by the belief. that such action
might constitute a breach of neutrality.
