"What man is there who earns his
bread with honored toll who will not
appreciate what this man has met and
overcome? What man is there who
has faced sickness and misfortune who
cannot hor or that man who has made
of these oversees stepping stone to
success? What man is there who has
tasted disappointment who will not
himself admire and respect another of
these men who has kept sweet through
all the toll and sacrifice? What man is
there who will not see in w. +. Coop
er's persistence in the face of bitter
odds a positive hold upon the good of
life and steadfast courage fitting
him supremacy for any honor within the
gift of his compatriots.
Turn from the constructive char
acter of this clean. courageous man
who has fought with the hiIt when the
sword is broken, and fix the same deep,
searching gaze upon the last sixteen
years of Mr. Smiths public career.
Then answer and say who is entitled to
the consideration of the voter. Cut
out sentiment and make it type of
character, quality of manhood,
worthiness for public trust and fitness
for large achievements, and let that
decision alone be an influence with the
man who rightly prizes the privilege of
his franchise. Extract from Cover
nor Gidding's speech.
The first political gathering in the
magnificent new hall, erected by
Messrs Jones, Alexander and Moorehead
was held last evening under the aus
pices of the Republican County Central
committee. The stage has been erect
ed during the last two days, and was
tastefully decorated for the occasion.
Col. L. F Eggers presided and intro
duced the principal speaker of the
evening Governor j. w. Giddings of
Tucson. Governor Giddings took as
his topic the candidacy of Hon. w. F.
Cooper for delegate to congress. He
was listened to with attention during
his all-too-short address, which was
punctuated with frequent applause.
At the conclusion of Gov. Giddings'
address, several of the county candi-
dates, who occupied the state, made
short addresses. The political part of
the evening was concluded by speech
from Geo. X. French, republican candi-
date for district attorney. This was
Mr.. French first appearance before
Globe audience, other than in court.
He created good impression, and adj
ded to his already long list of personal
friends and supporters.
Governor Giddings has been a resident
of Arizona for five years, but this was
his first visit to Globe. He expressed
himself that this camp surpassed his
expectations, and they had been set
high on account of the reports he had
heard of Globe. He returned to Tucson
this morning to be present at monster
meeting to be held in Tucson Monday
night, at which w. F. Cooper will be
present and make the closing speech of
he campaign.
At the conclusion of the meeting
dance and reception was held and a
large number of the audience awaited
themselves Of the opportunity for social
enjoyment. The music was first class, |
the floor in excellent condition and the |
crowd enjoyed itself to it's hearts con-
tent.
The strength of the republican coun-
ty ticket becomes more apparent with
each succeeding day of the campaign.
And why not? There is absolutely no
reason why single vote should be cast
against any name on the ticket.
Mark Smith is making an earnest
and frantic plea for another chance to
"get a slap at the republican party"
These "slaps" of his have in the past
prevented Arizona from getting any
benefits from the dominant party in the
government, and he now intends to put
