Flagstaff, Arizona, Sept 21-(Spec- ial correspondence of The Republican,. The result of the county primary has made the LOckett men feel blue. The republican elected a solid Breen dele gation by a large majority, which goes to show that, in spite of the efforts of the opposition, the people still had voice in the matter. The people, as a rule, know what is best for them, and the majority of the voters know what to do when they have an opportunity at the polls.
 Everything was quiet on election day. and though there was no unusual eX- citement. voters trod the path steadily all day long, and after the count in the evening it was shown that there were over 200 republican votes cast while there was less than 100 demo- cratic votes cast. The republicans elected for their delegates to the coun- ty convention the following: Hayes Wiedner, J. C Blake, J. M. Clark, E. A. Sliker, P $. Coffin, Chas. Schultz. Geo. Campbell, Henry Cooper, A. J, LeRaron, L. D. Yeager and N. G. Lay ton.
 The democratic primary resulted in the election of the following: E. A. Brown, Geo Hochderffer, Frank Rod riguez. c. A. Kellar, H. E. Campbell. E. T McGonigle, C. H. McGonigle and John Woody.
 Both conventions meet at Flagstaff on the third of October, at which time the two icounty tickets will be made up.
 We were very much interested in an item published recently, in which the writer referred to a new clothing es- tablishment which opened up for busi ness here last month. The writer would have us patronize home institu tions first, last and always, passing by the door of a new house which offers special inducements in values and on to an old established house where we would buy an article for one dollar which the new house offers for seventy five cents. In other words, the writer would have us consider first the old es- tablished houses, then ourselves and our pocketbooks. Where would such a policy lead us? It would not only injure the growth of the town and dis courage any one looking for place to invest money. but wefwould go on in definitely paying the fancy prices ask ed by the few merchants who control the business of the town. In deference to the people we wish to say that the article does not voice the sentiment of the people in this respect, for the peo- pie here believe in the old adage Live and let Live" We are glad to note that the patronage of the house which has caused all this talk has indeed been very flattering. and we wish them all the success in the world. The pro prietors are live, up-to-date business men, and we believe that by their coming, our town has been benefited just that much.
