White. are too well known to inc peo' pie of this county io need vcry much newspaper introduction. Messrs. Laird and White have bccn residents of iavapai county for long number of years, during which time they have fully demonstrated their worth as rop. rcsontativc citizens. MT. Davidson. while virtually a new conner to tho Territory, having been resident of vavapai county only n few years, has made for himself in that time. n rcpu- tation in his chosen profession, mining, and as an honorable and progressive citizen, that is untaintcd in any way.
 THOMAS J. LAIRD.
 Thomas j. Laird has been n resi-. dent of Yavapai county for n number of years, during which time he has been engaged in the exploiting of the coun. sy's greatest resource, mining.

 During the late unplessantness with Spain, Mir. Laird was s member of tho famous Rough Riders, and served with credit throughout the entire campaign. His nature and disposition was we'll shown when Delegate to Congress " Bull" Andrews, of New Mexico, playing upon the fact that Mir. Laird was n member of Roosevelt 's troop, wrote him. asking that he, for tho sake of those Gold times" support state. hood. Mir.

He has built up for himself A promising profession, one in which he has demonstrated his ability to for. see the needs of those with whom be ia associated, and hc has declared him. seif m no uncertain terms as to where he stands on legislation which will bc of benefit to the members of his chosen profession, mining, and it is safe to say that if sent to the assembly as n member of the house, Mir. White will more than "make goodo on the ox. pcctation of his constituency.

 MT. Davidson is n cool, caIculatino thinker, one who searches every nook and cranny of n situation before pas,. ing Judgment thereon, and would make an ideal law former. Many there arc throughout the county who have the same opinion and it is not at all i'm. prooab'e that ali three of the Repub. iican candidates for election as mem. berS of the house at tho next legislative assembly will be placed there by the many citizens of Yavspai county who n eA
