HON. w. c. BARNES, who formerly
resided in Arizona, and is therefore
familiar with the territory and its
resources, was recently quoted in the
Albuquerque Journal as saying:
"Arizona is growing rapidly, both
in wealth and population. The Ari-
zonans are away ahead of US on tax
valuations, their present valuation
being over $62, 100000, more than a
third greater than ours. We have all
to gain and nothing to lose by joint
ure. Hence l favor it as against no
statehood at ALL
The candor of Mr. Barnes is to be
admired, and yet he states nothing
but the truth New Mexico has
double the populati of Arizona, but
her taxable wealth is fifty per cent.
less than ours. 1t is easy to under
stand, therefore, why New Mexico is
willing t. absorb Arizona. They
need Us in their business. Mr..
Barnes puts it very concisely: eve
have all to gain and nothing to lose"
But how about Arizona? Hasn't she
all to lose and nothing to gain?

The selection of Tom Smith for
justice of the peace, and Dave Arzate

THE government of Cuba has been
formerally taken over by Secretary
Taft, who will attempt to bring or
der out of the chaotic condition into
which the local government has been
brought by political misrule and
revolution. An army of occupation
will be landed on the island as rapidly
as possible, in order to subdue the
revolution and to protect the lives
and property of all the people. The
Cubans, it seems, are not capable of

REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The republican convention held at
Solomonyille Saturday last was the
largest and most harmonious, as well
rs the most enthusiastic, convention
ever held by the party in this county.
AS whole the ticket is considered
one of the cleanest and strongest
ever presented by the party to the
people of Graham county for their
approval and election. AS is usual
with the republican party in this
county, it was the office seeking the
man, and not the man the office.
This, perhaps, accounts in a large
measure for the harmony which pre-
vailed during the deliberations of
the convention, and which brings to
each member of the party strong
hope for success during the cam
paign.
FOR THE COUNCIL.
J. F. Cleaveland, editor of the
Leader, has resided in Morenci for
the past nine years. He is young
man of education and brilliant at
tainments. AS an orator and logical
reasoner he stands without peer in
his party. His record as a man is
above reproach. II elected he can
be relied upon at all times to carry
out the wishes of his constituents
without fear or favor.
FOR THE ASSEMBLY.
w. +. Hagan, of Clifton, and D.
w. Wickersham, of Stafford, need no
introduction to the people of this
county. They have each resided in
Graham county almost from its
creation. They are men of affairs,
and largely interested in the general
welfare and prosperity of the county
and territory. If elected they can
be counted upon to "make good'' in
every respect.
FOR PROBATE JUDGE.
E. G. Norman, of Solomonville,
has been praCticing law in the south
west tor at least twenty-five years,
the greater portion of which has
been spent in this county. While
the law does not provide that this Of
flee must be filed by a lawyer, it is
nevertheless great advantage to
the incumbent, and also to the pub |
lie, that he should be a man with
legal learning. AS a matter of fact |
the Office of probate judge is court,
through which all estates must pass.
Judge Norman is particularly well |
qualified to discharge the duties of |
the Office to which he now aspires.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Lee N. Stratton, of Stafford, is |
everywhere recognized as one of the
foremost lawyers of the southwest. |
He was elected to the office six
years ago, and discharged the duties
with credit to himself and general
satisfaction to his constituents. His
past experience in the office, to-
gether with his long practice at the
bar, have well qualified him for the
office. He is also a man of vigor,
energy and determination, essential
requisites in a prosecuting attorney.
FOR SHERIFF.
A. A. Anderson, of Clifton, COM
bines all the requirements necessary
for a first-class officer. He is "a bust
ness man and competent account
ant, and has had much experience in
enforcing the law in New Mexico when
it required men of nerve to fill the
position. For FIVE years he was {;
chief of scouts of the Mescalero
reservation, receiving his appoint

The New York Herald of recent
date announces the death at the
home of his father, Leopold Ross in
London, England, of Charles A.
Ross. The ERA has Information
from New York that this is the same
Charles A. Ross who was instru-
mental in opening up several mines
in this district. He came here
originally about seven years ago,
and secured interests in several
properties, amoug which might be
mentioned the Medler, the Standard,
the property of the Home Copper
company, and the property of the
Clifton Copper company, which was
eventually consolidated with the
New England company. Mr.. Ross
was not generally recognized as d
mining man in the usual accept
ance of the term, but at the same
time he had followed the business in
various parts of the world for the
past thirty years, and met with the
usual results of such ventures. At
times he had plenty of money and at
other times he had none. He was
president and manager of the Stand
ard company here when it was in
bonanza, and for reasons not neces-
sary to explain at the present time,
he became very unpopular with local
share holders, who eventually forced
his retirement from the company.
He met with an accident at the
mine about two years ago, from
which he never recovered, and which
no doubt was largely instrumental in
his demise.
Carl Leuschke, the Chase Creek
shoemaker, has removed his business
to the building opposite the Clifton
Hotel, Gold avenue.
