Negro Teacher Frauds.

Up to the present the state superintend- ent of education estimates that frauds in taking examinations for license to teach school in the state has been proven or strongly indicated in as many as 600 negroes in the state. In every case so far worked out the leak has been traced to the 'junta' maintained at Selma. where a white man has been arrested on charges of having taken the questions from envelopes in the express office.
 A good story is told of one of the nearby counties. A negro was arrested for having the fraudulent answers in his possession Another negro heard of the trouble and the arrest T am surprised to hear that he said Say, boss, that can't be so; that negro had the right to the county, which he bought from the man what has the state right. No, sir; there is something wrong. He paid his money to have the whole right to the county. They can't arrest him.

MARK SMITHS RECORD

We submit herewith to the
nbiased people of Arizona, the
record of Mark Smith in Congress,
showing truthfully as it does, a
record of achievements, which any
mem Der of Congress in the United
States might feel proud of. Many
of the measures he succeeded in
defeating were of such chara cter
that had they been enacted into
laws, distress and destruction of
property rights would have fol
lowed. 1t is an easy matter for the
Cameron stump speakers to mis-
represent Mr., Smith on the stump
but bis record as faithful, able,
public servant stands out IN bold
relief against the untruthtul asser
tions of these windy gentlemen.
Here are some of the things
Mark Smith did in Congress:
He defeated the Land Commits
sion bill, the purpose of which was
to confirm Mexican land grants in
in Arizona, especially the Reavis
grant which covered everything
form Gila Bend to Florence.
He got the appropriation t" in
vestigate this grant and thus de
feated it. and obtained by another
appropriation the money that Sc
cured the evidence of fraud and
sent Reavis to the penitentiary.
He defeated the Algodones Land
grant bill in Congress, which
claimed all the good lands south
of Yuma.
He had reduced from the double
to the single minimum the price to
settlers Of the west tract Of land
covered by the Texas Pacific grant,
He has served for years on the
Public Lands Committee and tax,
en- an active part in the report and
passage of every bill forfeiting un-
earned grants to railroad com
panies.
He forced the A. 4. & s. f. TO
lay SITS taxes on Zach mile of the
old A. p in Ariz"u b fore per,
permitting the G n"oiidation OF
those compani :. The A. p. was
exempt from laxUtiI N Until this
consolidation. AL he papers in

mittee.

GRAHAM REPUBLICANS
WEAKENING

1t would appear to the casua
observer who attended the Repub
lican mass meeting in Todd's Hall
last Saturday evening, that the
Repu blicans of Graham County
have lost all hope of securing the
election of any of their candidates
for county offices.
Very few Republicans attended
the meeting, two thirds of those
present being Democrats. This
fact was brought out by one of the
speakers, who called attention tc
the many Democrats present.
There seems to be trouble some.
where in the Republican ranks
There is an absence of "ginger" iu
the Republican campaign this year,
and old General Apathy" seems
to be present at all their meetings.
All the speakers seem to forget
that the Republican party of Gra'
ham County has nominated q
straight ticket, and asks in plain
tive tones that only those who are
fit to hold office be elected. One
speaker declared that the people
should not vote a straight party
ticket, and gave statistics in favor
of his proposition gathered from
the outcome of the elections two
years ago in New York and Min
nesota.
10 the past when a party has
nominated full ticket, the spell,
binders are loud in their praise
and ask the people to vote the
straight ticket, and it was strange
to hear the principal speaker a
the Republican meeting advise the
people to vote for the best mer
nominated, which meant, of course
that they should vote for the Dem
ocratic candidates.
If the Republican candidates this
year are all good men, why should
their presence on the ticket need
an apology.
1t is sad, with election so close
that the Republicans have los
heart and are going through th'
campaign like automatons. Yet
we cannot blame them, With ne
real issue to place before the peo
pie il is hard to get the people in
terested. The record Of the Dem
ocratic party in Office in Graham
County has been 80 clean and tht
interests of the people so wei
looked after, that there is not on,

which would give the Republican
speakers a chance to say that |

money lost by them in the defalca-

He passed the law permitting
Arizona stock owners to return

without paying duty, as had been
before required and saved the
stockmen thousand of dollars.
By an act of Congress he funded
the public debts of Arizona into

the interest the debt was bearing,
thus saving many thousand year
