This fact being conceded, it will be admit ted readily that strong legislative representation should be sent to Phoe- | nix from this the most industrious and prosperous county in Arizona. The legislative ticket in its entirety is not an untried one. Heading the del egation will be
 HON. STEVE RoEMEK,
 who has distinguished himself while representing this county in the upper branch of the Arizona legislature, where he espoused and successfully carried through several measures of vast importance to his constituents. MT. Roemer's ability was appreciated by his colleagues as his numerous committee appointments will attest He was a tireless worker, ready and convincing debster, and meet gen. erally succeeded in carrying through any measure he proposed, or thwart- ing any project that did not have for its aim the interest of all the people His activities won for him an envi- able reputation as legislator, prom inent among his work being Indus trial School at Benson, which in itself is a monument to Roemre's sagacity and tireless activity. In the lower house of the last session was found a counterpart of the council man in the person of
 HON. NEIL BAILEY,
 one of the most active men on the floor of the assembly. Mir. Bailey wss a watchiul member. and even where calumny was sought to be cast against friends of clean government and pro gressiveness MT. Bailey was first to re- sent the reproach. In committee he accomplished much, while no mem- ber was accorded. recognition oftener than he. Mir. Bailey has demonstra- ted his fitness ss a legislator, proven his devotion to his constituents, and will be reelected by handsome ma- jority. An old-timer in 8 new role is
 JOHN SLAUGHTER.
 a better known or highly esteemed man than whom does not live in Arizona. MT. Slaughter is a pioneer of Cochise county and of the territory. He has served this county twice as sherif, coming into office at 8 time when courage and determination must &C., company 8 steady nerve. accurate aim and quick on trigger. His four years term as sheriff was prolific of good re- suits, quiet was brought out of chaos, since which time he remains on his princely holdings at San Bernardino. where his herds graze upon a thou sand hills. MT. Slaughter's mind is epgrossed with business affairs, but is proverbial of the man to respond when called upon, so it happened that while attending the democratic nomi. hating convention, as 8 delegate, in Tombstone, some weeks since, his name was suggested for the assembly and no sooner had he been proposed than . ballot was taken. the result
 being that John Slaughter was the
 choice by exclamation. Even his op
 ponents concede his election. It Ii
 to the interest of the taxpayers tt have such a man legislate fer them He ie a shrewd business man, of un questionable integrity, is thorough. | qualified for the position that call for his services, and will be elected b i. c rousing majority.
