Lyman 0. Woods

MT Woods was selected by the late republican convention as the running mate with Mir. Ryan on the ticket, and We cannot but feel that a happy selee. tion was made. He has lived in Globe for many years, has wide acquaintance in the county, and has largo property interests in the city Mir. Woods has served two years in the trying position of chairman of the board of supervisors being elected four years ago. During his term of office a great many things came up which demanded action, and MT. Woods was always found advocat- ping and voting for those measures which were to the interest of the people of tho county. MT. Woods belongs to that class of men who "do things,'' and while progressive, is. at the same time conservative and safe. He is thorough ly acquainted with the people of Gila county, and with the eounty's condi- tions and needs. As the selection of member of the board of supervisors is a matter in which the voters can afford to take no risks, they can do no act that win be more to their interest and insure a safe, economical. and fair ad. ministration of county affairs for the two years comemncing on January lst, next, than to select Lyman c. Woods to serve them as a member of the board of seupervisors
 There is no more important position in the county, nor one in which the interest of the people are more con eerned than that of member of our To- cal legislature. This is n matter that peculiarly interests the average inde. pendent voter, and apeals to him in selecting the best qualified and exper- fenced men for the office This board of supervisors is a body that is very close, and comes home to every citizen of the county. The territorial legisla- ture meets only once in every two years, conducts its business, adiourns and the members go home, but this local body meets four times every year besides the extra sessions. The voters of Gila county did the correct thing when they elect ed William Ryan to this position two years ago, and they will do the same thing when they return him again this fall. Tn addition to this they should extend to him the aid and assistance of an experienced member, and the late republican county convention also nom- mated Mir. Woods. We feel certain that the independent voter will also come to the conclusion that the best inter est of the people and taxpayers of Gila county could not be entrusted Tn better hands than those of Messrs. Ryan and Woods
 Dan Williamson's record as treasurer has been analysed by democratic au- thority, and the conclusion has been reached that "as collector he has 'em all skinned three city blocks, hath- CT a. good recommendation, If he was n't good collector he would have no bushes iwth the position he occupies

 Mark Smith is making an earnest and frantic appeal for another charce to get a slap at Speaker cannon ana the re- pubicans in congress. These slaps of his in the past have prevented Arizona from getting any benefit from the dom. inant party in power in congress. II is high time ta put a stop to these "slaps.'

 Teh ticket nominated by the late re- publican convention is the very best one ever offered to the voters of Gila county. It is composed of, our best citizens, and will be elected, because It deserves to be.

 "Bin" Sparks personality and meth, ods of canvass appeal very strongly to the independent voter.
