ella County Republican Ticket


GiIa County Republican Ticket
We print today the following para
graphs of the different candidates on
the republican ticket and commend
them to the consideration of the voters
of ella county. The affairs of this
county will be safe in their hands for
the ensuing term of two years begin
ming from the first of January next.
George w.P. Hunt
Mr.. Hunt is the nominee for the
legislative council. He will be chosen
unanimously for this position, and will
undoubtedly be the next president of
the council, upon the assembling of the
territorial legislature. He is the pre-
sent head of the Old Dominion COM
mercial company, and is personally
known to every voter of ella county.
James r. Nevin
Mr.. Nevin is the nominee for the
legislative assembly. He is the senior
member of the firm of Nevin. Coffee &
Co., o. Globe. feed and fuel dealers.
He is successful business man, and
is well qualified to represent the bust
ness and live stock interests in the
next legislature. He is popular and
well known citizen. and stands well
with those who have come in contact
with him in business way. No one
could have any dealings with Mr..
Nevin without being impressed with
his fairness and liberal manner of doing
business.
William Sparks
The republican candidate for sheriff
has lived many years in Arizona. and
the latter years in Globe. He is the
ideal peace officer of the territory.
Sometimes we think that the law should
demand some special qualifications or
fitness for this position in addition to
the general ones; something on the
line of the requirements for the office
of district attorney. However. the
voter of ella county has an opportunity
of supporting at the polls one wi o
possesses all the qualifications for an
excellent officer. The gentleman whose
name heads this paragraph could fill
the most rigid requirements for the
position. He is a peace officer by
nature, inclination training and ex-
perience. He will be supported and
the action of the late convention be en-
dorsed by giving him good round
majority.
George X. French
The nominee for district attorney,
while comparatively new man in ella
county, has lived in the territory for
several years. He served with COM
mittee of associates, comprising some
of the foremost citizens of our territory
who went to Washington to oppose
joint statehood at their own expense.
and succeeded in having the Foraker
amendment inserted into the enabling
act, whereby the people of Arizona are
going to vote down the joint statehood
scheme at the next election. Mr..
French has thus been identified with
the anti-joint statehood movement since
the iniquity was attempted to be en-
forced upon an unwilling people. He
was admitted to the bar in 1889, and to
practice before the United States su-
preme court in 1892. He. possesses all
the legal requirements for the office.
and is, besides, an easily approached
and genial gentleman.
Dan r. Williamson
The republican candidate for treas
urer needs no introduction to the peo-
pie of ella county. He has served a
term as sheriff in early days, and did it
acceptably. He is now agent for the
Wells. Fargo & Co. Express company
in Globe. He declares that, if elected,
he will resign as agent, give another
the job, and devote his whole time and
attention to the duties of the office.
That means that the affairs of the
treasurer's office will be conducted in
a manner above criticism.
Charles II. Wild
The nominee for recorder has lived in
Globe for the past seven years. Mr..
Wild Is graduate of the Tempe normal
