common councilmen, II school direcl-
ors in each OF the 43 wards. constab. .es
and division election officers Outside
of several small disturbances in wards
where there We're spirited contests,
there was very little disorder reported.
There were. however, quite number
OF arrests made for Illegal voting. Lit
tie interest was displayed in the con-
test for magistrates, as the majority
and minority party were each entit.ea

Rooney, the Republican nominee and a
present member OF the board of mag
istrates, was elected to succeed him
self, and Edwin X Borie, who was
named by the Democrats, city party
and Lincoln party. was also elected.
Great interest was taken in the cleo
tion of councilmen, notably IN the sec
ond and fifteenth wards. Party
lines were wiped out in many
instances. In some of the wards
the city party and Lincolncoln
party organizations, which swept
the city last November, were split and
were fighting each other with the help
of factions from the old Republican
organization or the Democrats. In the
second ward Harry c. Ransley, pres

posed to Mayor Weaver in the gas
lease fight, was candidate for re-
election on ths Republican and Demo

didate of the Democratic, Lincoln and
Liberty parties. Mr.. Crow was back
ed by a portion Of the city party and a
faction within the Republican party.

were on the reform tickets, and a
large percentage of them were elected

Onions in the South.

Onions have been grown in this

il small scale. Why our peOpe have

Greiner, inquiring about the business
of raising onions in this state. His
reply is as follows:
A Florida reader desires to try onion
growing for profit. The first thing any
one who wants to go into any special
branch of vegetable or fruit growing,
or the production of any other crop,
or of poultry or other live stock, must
do is to study the literature on that
particular business. 1t is not safe to

In speech delivered at Mesa, last week, Smith said: "It will take Billie Cooper six months in which to get ac. quainted with the niggcr portcrs at the capitol says the Tucson Star.
 This is illustrative of the character of the campaign which smith is conduct ing. And this statement is ludicrous to those who know William r. Cooper well. No person was ever heard to charge him with being a buttonedup Fellow. No man over found it diflicalt to get acquainted with him. William F. Cooper's faculty of standing on the level with any man, no matter what ms place in society's strata, has always won him friends among all classes. This faculty will stand him well in hand in washington. 4 friend of Cooper's re. marked, after hearing him deliver n speech at Phoenix:

j,laii,cr.

While William r. Cooper, Republican candidate for delegate to Congress, has been far in the lead of all his com. pctitors since the opening of the cam paign, he has made such marked gains in the past week or ten days, especially in the northern counties, that his .lec tion now seems assured.
 The speeches of the Republican can didatc have the true ring, and they dc ternine the course, in many instances, of the wavering voter. whose interests are those of Arizona. especially those of the Democratic faith, who, wcarie l of the continued reign of the tax-c4t. ing office holders, are casting about for some measures of relief

Cooper has shown that he is a man of no small capacity as 2 mag; ager of his own affairs, having risen from the common ranks to the posi- ti0n he now occupies in the Territory of Arizona, and therefore will make m excellent and most effective. delegate in Congress, one who can secure for this Territory, which has SO long gone. like Mother Hubbard's famous dog, supperless to bed, owing to the bare. ness of the Washington cupboard, as far as Arizona is concerned, something to show for his term in Congress.
 One of the recent gratifying develop ments in the campaign is the switch ing of the Verde Valley voters, who heretofore have swallowed the straight Democratic ticket without a gasp. to the side of Cooper and good govern. mcnt, and that he will carry that valley now seems certain.
 The railroad men of the Territory are almost a unit for Mir. Cooper, and the majority of the laboring classes throughout Arizoan, who do not sup. port the Socialist ticket, will undoubt- edly cast their ballot for Cooper.

THE PLAIN DUTY or
 ALL LOYAL ARIZONANS.

AS the campaign progresses it is be- coming apparent that the people of Ari' zoua are bent on retiring Mark Smith to private life. and that the election of William F. Cooper. the Republican
 nominee for delegate to congress. is practically assured.
 IL is high time that the people of Ari- zona sent to congress a man who can do something in Washington for the good of the Territory. Marcus \. Smith has been n most offensive partisan. He has insnlted the speaker and the members of the House of Representative and has even disgustcd the men of his own party, until he has become "pcrsona non grata' at inc capital. On numer. ous occasions Mr. smith hns lost his temper and the people of Arizona have suffered thereby. If Washington has judged Arizona by her representative at the seat of government it k no won. der that some of the great men ot the nation have formed erroneous ideas ahout the country out here.
 lt becomes the plain duty of every loyal Republican in Arizona to go to the polls on election day and east vote for William r. Cooper. How can Arizona hope to gain any favors from the administration at Washington when she sends a man of this character to fight her battles thorci Mark Smith s record shows the futility of such pro. eeeding.
 An example of smith 's bad temper and his selfshncss ls shown in one of the arguments which he has woven out or the timc-worn statehood question. To make use of m expressive slang word, smith has threatened to "throw" Arizona if the people do not return him to Congress. He has stated from the stump that the Democratic minority in both houses of Congress will forsakc the Territory and lend their aid to the passage of joint statehood bill, in [ ease he is not reelected to his seat in ! She House. He warns the people that If they defeat him, he will lie down and allow the Territory to be sacrificed.
 Mark Smith has made n convenience of Arizona for many years but he has reached the end of his string He can no longer blind the people with the old statehood cry. His blank record stands out in bold relief He has reached the stage when he must resort to threats | m an effort to line up the votes on his side. This is the last stage. It is the forcrunncr for defeat
