GREAT CHANGE IN GRAHAM

The election in Graham county
while anticipated by many who were
best informed on the political situa
tion, will nevertheless come as a
great surprise to many outside OF
the county, who we're not familiar
with local conditions.
For the first time in many years
Graham county has elected several
republicans to Office, but this cannot
be regarded as republican victory,
but rather as a democratic defeat,
for they owe their election to the
independent democratic voters of
the county.
AS a whole the republicans have
made a decided gain in the county,
as is shown by the reduced ma jority
OF Mark Smith, but even this is par
italy due to the socialist organiza-
ton, which is now a political factor
in this county, as the majority of
them originally we're aligned with
the democratic party.
However the republicans have much
to be thankful for, and with a good,
honest administration on the part
of those who have been elected,
there is no reason why the republi-
can party should not continue to
grow in this county, to such an ex-
tent that It will always control at
least portion of the county govern
ment.
In securing two out of the three
members of the legislature, the re-
publicans have done remarkably well.
This will afford the local republicans
an opportunity to show what can be
done in the way of legislative enact
ment for the people. In this the
party has assumed d responsibility,
and the future of the party will be
largely dependent upon the achieve
ments of the men upon whom this
honor has been conferred. They not
only owe their best efforts for good
government to the republicans of the
county but also to the independent
democrats, without whose votes they
could not have been elected
The same can be said of the
other republicans elected. They are
answerable to the entire people of
the county for a faithful discharge
of the duties of their Offices, but
should they fall short in this, or
prove unworthy, the odium will not
only fall upon them, but also upon
the party which placed them before
the people. The ERA has no doubt
that each and every one of them
will acquit themselves with a spotless |
record, and thus put themselves in
a position where their party can
again place them in nomination, and |
point to them as shining examples of
clean and honest officials.
In this connection the ERA de-
sires on behalf not only of those
but also of all the republican
candidates, to extend their thanks
and appreciation to the public in
general for the confidence and con-
shown them throughout
the entire campaign.

THE ERA recently intimated that
President Kimball had gone to Salt
Lake in order to avoid the local cam
paign. At that time the ERA was
not aware that Mrs. Kimball was
dying in Salt Lake. The ERA unin-
tentionally did President Kimball an
injustice, which it regrets. The
item vas of political nature, and
was of no especial Importance, but
the ERA would not Intentionally do
any one an injustice.

The United States Supreme Court
has decided the case of Thomas F.
Wilson VS.. Governor NO. Murphy
and Auditor George w. Vickers in
favor of those officials. The suit
arose out of charge by Wilson that
part of the Territorial funds APP
propriated for the apprehension of
criminals had been diverted and
used for furnishing the Governor
office. Wilson instituted proceedings
to recover, as alleged by law, three
times the amount thus paid out.
The trial court in Pima county held
that the warrants were properly
drawn and the Arizona supreme court
sustained that view. The decision
affirmed the findings of both the
lower courts.

Missionary Ridge.
Ii is more than forty years since the
battle of Missionary Ridge. in which
General Grant gave his order to charge
the base Of the ridge, and the soldiers
obeyed So we'll that they did not halt
till they reached the top. That was
in November, 1863. ana few even then
knew how Missionary Ridge obtained
its name. 4 short time ago there died
in Kedlands, Cal, woman whose life
reached back to the time when Mis-
sionary Ridge was the home of mis-
sionaries. She was perhaps the last
living person connected in any way
with that work
The Cherokee Indians. who lived in
the upper Tennessee valley. were gen

and although in the Revolution they
were for a time the allies OF the En-

friends of the colonies. In 1872 They
rendered JackSon's army important ser

Indians missionaries were sent and

and women the Indians became civ

able number members OF the church.
The story of their re.hoval from their
old time home is u sad one. In tTA5
the United States government made .
treaty with them. known as the Hope
we'll treaty, recognizing the Cherokee
nation AS I'm independent nation, In
1876 Georgia declared this treaty not
binding upon that State ana In 1870
the State Legislature passed a law
calling for a survey and distribution
of the lands of the Cherokee Indians,
and the CherokccS were removed la the
Indian Territory. Many died 10y the

The case was tried in the United
