The battle is on AS the Little Cor

famed battle of Austerlitz beheld
through rift In the clouds the weak
front of the opposition and gave the

SLAMS and Austrians, so the Democrats
of Lincoln county, in this campaign
perceived, not alone the weakness by
virtue of the action of the boss-ridden
absentee controlled convention, but
also that fundamental position and
principles that directly concern the
welfare of the farmer, the merchant,
the miner, and those vast enterprises
that are such a life-giving force In
the development of the latent re-
sources of Lincoln county. 1t is not
alone principles, but good, clean can

the principles enunciated that makes
the line of attack upon the Republi-
cans practically already victory.
The Republican convention of Las

and they are going some and will not
stop until the chilly blasts of the
headwaters of Salt River will stupify
them so that they will not fully

program.
A Strong Ticket.
The declarations of the Democratic
convention are a clarion note for hon
est government. for a square deal,
Justice to all men, exclusive privil-
eges to none"--a Just and admirable
demand and proclamation that every
honest, fair and intelligent voter
should support.
The candidates match the declara-
tions From top to bottom and from
the lower round to the upper rung
there is not weak nor unworthy can
didate. Every one of them are clean.
competent selections, worthy of the
undivided support of all the citizens
of Lincoln county. They are compe-
tent, honest men and will exemplify
these qualities when in office.
The convention that brought about
this happy consummation of good re-
suits for the Democracy was as able
and representative a body Of citizens
as ever convened In old Lincoln coun-
ty to perform righteous duty. Man
to man they appreciated their position
and unselfishIy they dedicated their
best thought to attain the best end
for honest Democratic government.
In this they succeeded. for from be-
ginning to end 1t was harmony. free
from boss dictation. with clean meas
ures and clean men for the suffrage
in November. OF the convention there
was not a note of disharmony nor
one act that exhibited the act Of o
boss or that chicanery that brought
about SO monstrous political abor-
ton as the ring ticket presented
by the grace of McNamee as Repub-
lican ticket to the suffraganee of this
county.
Mo Proxy Control.
The Democratic convention was a
real live convention. They were live
delegates and not pocket votes that
controlled. The proxy system was
negatiyed as an actual boss effect and
hence the result OF the Democratic
convention was the direct opposite Of
the Republican misfit.
It was the votes of Democrats for an
honest purpose In comparison to the
use Of Republican proxies to support
machine.
