Under the caption, "IIon. Wal

The comments made by the fbe

voting against any candidate sul,
ported by Mr. BrOussard. would
be to vote against him, l went to
the pains Of writing personal let |
ters to the editor Of the Picay une
and Of the Item, to ascertain upon
what authority these statements |
were attributed to me / have
been honoled with no reply.
l am not a follower Of Mr.. Brous

BrOussard. He has never present

sure he will do me the justice OF so
saying. Had he continued a can
d,date tor the office Of Governor.
l had the personal promise Of
strong political friends that they
would join me in supporting him.
He is not now a candidate for
any Office, and to inject his person
atty 10 this campaign, to the ex-
tent of saying that unless one
votes for such candidates az he
will designate, is to align oneself a.
gainst him personally, is to do him
wrong.
One cannot be anti Broussard
unless he votes against Broussard
when he presents himself for Office

to vote for other candidate for other
Office, than that for which Mr.. |,
Broussard is offered, without icing

A to the bitterness Of the con.
test, while | did not no say to any
representative, I have
deprecated anything that tended
to such condition. 1t is to be
hoped that good citizens may diff
fer hODeetly upon political issues
without calling forth either the

ethics Of the gutter.

MESA HAS AN INVENTOR.

Julius Johnson who returned from lis mining claims forty miles north of Roosevelt Friday, found upon his arrival at Mesa a United States pat ent awaiting him at the pOstoffice. and With it a whole arm load of letters and cards of inquiry about his new ore Hiil. Many of the letters were offers [" buy his patent outright. and all of tfcm stated that from the description lat the patent office they were sure that the machine could be sold at a good figure.
 The ore mill for which MT. Johnson received the patent. is portable af- fair that can be easily freighied from claim to claim and can be operated by few men at small expense.
 Heretofore. mills of this kind have always been ponderOus affairs that had 10 be set up permanently and which required large engines to oper- ate. and that new invention which can be loaded into a'wagon and transport ed from place to place. will prove of untold value to the prospectOr.
 MT. Johnson has several valuable inventions that he expects to put on the market soon, among which is an amalgamator and concentrator which are machines for separating mineral ore.
 MT Johnson is an old resident of Mesa and has been an active worker in the mining business for a number of years.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE A
 GREAT SUCCESS.

The chamber of Commerce benefit which was given last night. was a great success in every way and too much can not be said in praise of those who took part in the enter ainment and of those who contributed so gen erously to the financial success of the enterprise.
 The play given bv the Home Dra- matic company. as an amateur pro- Auction. can not be criticised in any way. but instead. very much can be said in praise of the wor</of each member of the company. Every mem ber carried his or her part well and the acting of the different members displayed much natural talent for work ol that kind.
 Mr. James Miller. who was the comedian in the role of K. c. Hopper with a business hop) did exceptional ly well in his part and kept the house H. an uproar most of the time he was on the stage.
 Mrs. Winnie Vance, the soubrette of the play. was perhaps the favorite of the evening. her graceful and natural acting easily captivating the audience

 Frank and Mont Vance and O. 4. Phelps did well with their paits and in their acting eXcelled many of the professional actors that come to Mesa.
 The specialties of the show were one of the best parts of the entertainment. Vincent Jones. who sang baritone solo. was heartily applauded and was Lot allowed to leave the floor until he had responded to an encore. Last night was MT. Jones' first appearance -efore Mesa audience. but from the way he was received it is evident that t will not he his last.

SURPRISE PARTY.

About fifty of ta' friends of Walter Morrow and wife. who live between Mesa and Tempe, rushed in upon the young couple Friday night. after they had gone to bed. and made them get up and celebrate Walters birthday in a more appropriate manner. The house was cleared out by the party. and after several dozen candles had been smeared over the floor. dancing was begun and kept up the greater part of the evening. At a late hour retreshments of ice cream and cake were served. The Mesa people who at tended the surprise were: Dave Wal lace and family. Lou Trimble and wife and Dave Wallace IT. and Miss Annie Simkins. The remainder of the party was composed of Tempe friends
