The Arizona sentinel., 1906-10-17

1 to improve rivers and harbors.
 Yet Mr. Smith, the only man in
 Arizona who is known in Wash ington, has not only not secured an appropriation, but has actu- ally not asked for such an appro- priatiOn, and moreover, is not going to ask for one as long as be has any say. The voters of Arizona are wanting mighty lad d man in Washington who is not known especially in the light that Mr. Smith is known. And so determined are they on this that they have decided to send MT. Cooper. MT. Cooper is go ing to have such improvements on the levee protecting our city that we will not live in fear of being washed sway, and the go- phers will have to hunt new homes. It might be mentioned that in addition to the corpora lions wanting Mir. Smith in con gress, that the gophers whose homes are in the levee and have been for nearly ten years, are also anxious for his return since they realize that their place of abode will remain undisturbed for many years hence in such a case.
 Arizona is entitled to appro- priations for public buildings and improvements and the sec ton surrounding our little city is entitled to, and will receive, more of these improvements than any other section in Ari- zona and we are going to have them. "Bill" Cooper is the man that is going to secure these and all other appropriations that we are justly entitled to.
 MT. Smith apologies and says that he would have secured all things desired by his constitu- ents but that he is not in accord with the powers that be at Wash ington. For goodness. gracious. sakes! alive! then let us send some one to Washington who is Tn accord with the republican party if they are the powers that be. MT. Cooper fills the bill ex- actly, and he has the back bone to make these just demands and you may just believe that he is going to get them. Mark Smith says that all he has been able to do has been to kill bills. He is beginning to realize that he has come face to face with one "Bill" that he cannot kill, and when the election returns are in he will be the most frosted man in all Arizona. Anybody can kill a bill, so it is nothing to boast about that he killed bills. The Bill" that kills him can kill all the bills he ever killed and can secure the passage of more bills than has ever any man bearing the name of Smith.
The Arizona sentinel., 1906-10-17

Mark Smith still fails to recog- nize the necessity of stating his position on the taxation issue. The corporations probably know where the democratic candidate foT congress stands on that tues lion, but he insists on keeping she people in ignorance.
