PROCLAMATION OF THANKSGIVING.
By the Governor of Arizona.
lie People of Arizona:

To the People of Arizona:
Thanksgiving Day has become so
| much and SO peculiarly an American
institution that we look forward to
its near approach with feelings of
grateful pleasure.
1t had its origin with the sturdy
pioneers of d new continent. 1t is
hallowed by the customs of our peo-
pei for nearly three centuries. 1t Is
recognized by churches of every
creed, and has been embodied in our
laws as the great annual American
family festival of Thanksgiving for
the mercies, prosperity and hap
piness of the closing year. The
memories of the years gone by of
happy family gatherings have
especially endeared the day to us
all having to those, of whom there
are so many of US who have migrated
from the scenes of their earlier
years a peculiar significance of the
day.
The president of the United States
has by his proclamation designated
Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of
November, for its observance.
By the law of the nation, and by
the laws of Arizona, it is made a
legal holiday of the people of this
prosperous community. to enable
them fittingly and fully to observe
and enjoy the ceremonies, all in
their own manner of Thanksgiving
Day.
Now, therefore, 1, Joseph H. Kib-
hey, governor of Arizona, do hereby
designate and appoint Thursday,
November twenty-ninth, 1906,
Thanksgiving day, and recommend
its observance and celebration as
such.
In witness whereof | have hereunt ,
set my hand and caused the great
seal of the territory to be affixed.
Done at Phoenix the capital, this
first day of November, 1906,
Seal JOSEPH H. KIBBEY.

THE COUNTY ELECTION.
About An Even Division of County Of
fiCerS.

The county election was most re-
markable in many respects. There
were comparatively few straight
tic kets cast by either party. Never
before have the voters of Graham
county shown such independence OF
party lines.
The returns are not all in, but the
majorities are sufficient to guarantee
with reasonable certainty the cleo.
ton of the following officers:
For the council-Cleavelan repub-
lican.
For the assembly Wickersham,
republican, and Pace, democrat.
For probate judge Shirley, demo
crat.
For district attorney-Stratton, re-
publican
For sh eriff-Anderson republican
For treasurer-Clark, democrat.
For superintendent of schools
Lynch, democrat.
For recorder-Simms,d democrat.
For surveyor-Welch,d democrat.
For supervisors-Terrell, republi-
can, and Olney, democrat.
AS an Illustration of the total dis
regard of party lines, in Clifton pre-
cinct, where more than six hundred
votes were cast, there were eighty
odd straight republican ballots cast
and seventy odd straight democratic
votes.
One of the surprises was the vote
received in this precinct by w. F.
Cooper, the republican candidate for
congress. Two years ago Mark
Smith carried the precinct by more
than three hundred votes, while this
year his majority was cut down to
thirty-one. There is no doubt that
Cooper received. large vote from
working men who belonged to the
other party, but it is also true that
Mark Smith was remembered by
many republicans who had known
him for years, and we're in the habit
of voting for him.
Cooper carried the precincts of
Clifton, Morenci and Metcalt by a
majority of twenty-three votes.
Some of the democratic leaders
are little disgruntled because of
the independence shown by voters of
their party, but they should remem-
Der that in years past the straight

by small majorities, owe their cleo
ton to the independent republican
voter.
This is most satisfactory condi-
ton of affairs, and argues we'll for
the future.
