REPUBLICANS ARE
 DAILY.
GAINING

 publicans held in McCabe on Wednes. Jay evening. Miners Union Hall was well filed by one of the most intclli. gent and apprcciativc audiences that 'hc candidates have faced during the campaign. After remarks by the var ,nus nominees. R. r.. Morrison made n stirring speech that was heartily ap. plaudcd by the audience. particularly bi. reference to the necessity of all good citizens uniting to bring about an crq of good government in Yavapai county.
 Probably there is no mining camp in Arizona that contains such high class of citizenship as McCalc. The men are well read. are deep thinkers and thor nughlv patriotic. An evidence of this
 IS the fact that there ia less crime com mittcd in that camp than in any other community in the county. In view of these conditions it is not surprising that ihe voters there are joining hands this year in the movement to overthrow the court house ring and install an honest and economical administration.
 Two years ago McCabe was the ban ncr Democratic precinct. t"ere being only li republican votes east. This year, conditions will be vastly different. ..nny an old.time Democrat has thrown off the party shackles and declared hls intention to vote the straight Re. publican county ticket. One of them. who has thus avowed himself, was ask. ed by fellow Democrat: "Wben did you turn Republican,"
 "When Democratic officials began to turn thicves.' was the sharp and start. ling answer.
 Scores of Democrats, on Wednesday night, were heard to say that they would split their tickets this year. and if there is one Democrat who intends to swallow his entire party ticket, he certainly di' not declare himself.
 In fact. there is n popular indigna ton against the machine made court house ticket. but there is no complaint against the McCabe delegates to the Democratic convention, lccouse it is  well known that those delegates east their votes in opposition to the ring nominees, after they realiz, that the clique was secretly dominating the con. vcniion.
 They suspected this the night before the convention. when an attempt was made by the country delegates to hold a caucus in K. of P. Hall. This caucus was broken mp by a Jerome delegate who, hy flihustering tactics, succeeded in making the assemhlagc SO disgustcd that it dispersed without .grecing upon a single candidate.
 An this is now known by the voters of McCahe and they will record their just protest against such methods on election day. Party lines have been practically abandoned and the issue has resolved itself into one of selecting the best men for their suffragcs.
 There are internal dissentions in the ! Democratic party and this nlsn burtip,, the ticket in Needle. Ugly stories are being told on some of the Democratic . candidates by men of their own party. that seriously reflect upon the integrity or the competency of the individuals marked for slaughter. Certain candi. dates are destined to poll remarkably light vote in this camp, and while each day the Republicans are gaining in strength. their opponents arc steadily losing ground.
 Conditions are ripe for change and the people realize this fact. and on all sides are falling into line and support. ing the clean set of men who compose the Republican ticket. And with the good citizens of McCabe joining hands win all others throughout the county. The indications all point to n sweeping victory for the cause of good govern. ment.
