Clifton Gives Globes Two Shut Outs.

The Clifton base ball team visited
Globe last Sunday and played a series
of two games, which are reported to
be the best exhibitions ever seen on
that diamond. Clifton, while she
was not as strong as anticipated,
played good ball and let Globe down
without single run in two seventh
ming games. Pique pitched both
games for Clifton and held the Globe
sluggers down to three hits in the
first game and four in the second not
more than one hit-occurrine in any
one inning. In the first game Clifton
batted Collins for one run in the first
inning, which was made by Quilting
making single, stealing second and
Evans followed with another single,
scoring Quilting with the only run.
In the second game Clifton made two
runs in the first inning, which was
all the scores made.
The locals deserve credit for their
record as it had been predicted that
they would not be in it.

THE Journal and Guardian of SAT
ford have been expressing themselves
in connection with Supervisor Baylor
Shannon changing the place of meet
ing of the democratic convention
from Stafford to SolomOnville. Mr..
Shannon is a true democrat and hon
orable man and no doubt felt that he
was doing the right thing when he
voted for Solomonville. For this act
he has been branded as Il dictator,
which is not the case. The trouble is
there are too many dictators in the
county affairs. The ERA does not see
what difference it will make to the
democrats whether they hold their
convention at Solomouville or Stafford.
Perhaps the executive committee can
furnish some light on the subject.
Before the valley papers jump on
Supervisor Shannon they should show
where the party has been damaged or
Inconvenience. The Leader also
fell in line and is pushing Shannon
down, for what reason no one knows.
Mr.. Shannon is democrat, but when
it comes 20 a proposition of this kind
politics should not figure.

THE statehood question is getting
to be an old cherry in Arizona. Mark
Smith has been working on it for
years and he is certain that he will
get it it we send him back to Wash
ington. Well, the fact of the matter
is that Arizona will soon be accepted
whether the people elect democrat
or republican. We will more than
likely have less trouble and save time
by sending Ralph for a change.

POLITICAL POINTS.

For the council the names of John
r. Hampton, democrat, and Milton
Mclean, republican, have been men
toned.
So far very little has been said
about the timber tor the assembly,
but it is possible that Mr. Pace will
be one of the democrats and Lamar
Cobb the other. The republicans are
yet to come.
The only candidate who has an
nounced for school superintendent is
J n. Woods, of the valley, who is a
democrat. The republicans will also
find good candidate coming perhaps
FROM the valley.
a. A. Anderson, the present sheriff,
will be the choice of the republican
party for the nomination of sheriff.
The race for the democratic nomina-
ton is between Gid Thompson, of
Morenci, and w. f. Spaw, of Clifton.
The nomination for probate judge
on the democratic ticket is being
sought by Thee. Shirley, the present
incumbent, and I. 5. Bunch, of SAT-
ford. Judge Crosby, of Stafford, will
probably be named by the republi-
cans.
! Rumor has$t that Lee N. Stratton,
the present incumbent, will be nom-
mated by the republicans for district
attorney. A. G. McAllister seems to
be the favorite among the democrats
for the nomination up to the present
date, although there may be another
name placed before the convention.
For recorder Jimmy Duke, of
Thatcher, who made such an excel
lent race two years ago, will in all
proba bility be rendered the nominal
tiOn on the republican ticket. David
Claridge, a resident of the valley,
has announced on the democratic
ticket
The Office of county treasurer has
attracted the attention of a number
of candidates. Thomas Smith, of
Clifton, and good man for the Office
has announced. He is the only repub-
| lican in the field On the democratic
side the names of Guy r. Loomis, M.
E Crawford, John Webster and Roy
! Wayland have been mentioned.
These candidates are all from Clifton.
Mr.. LOOMS is the only candidate that
has informed the people all over the
country that he wants the nominal
ton. 1t is understood that Messrs.
Webster and Wayland have dropped
from the race.
The office of supervisor, which by
the way, is one of the most important
to the taxpayers, is very much in
doubt. A large number of names
have been mentioned in democratic
headquarters. Henry Hill, of Clifton
will in all probability be the nominee
from the eastern end on the repub
lican ticket. The valley candidate
/ has not yet been mentioned. The
democrats have the choice of q
number OF good men. George Web
ster, prominent business man anG
George Fraser have been favorably
mentioned in Clifton. The others are
B. F. Billingsley, H. C. Day and j. K
Chiffon, all of Duncan. Another
good man who is in the race is Ira
Harper, democrat.

The independent movement seems
to have struck the valley this time
and it is quite likely that politics
will be mixed this fall. Well, if the
republicans could elect four or five
men every two years the taxpayers
could expect a continuance of good
administration. The affairs of
Graham county, though democratic
the most of the time, have been con-
Quoted well, but there is no reason
why the two parties should not be
represented at the court house.

THE democrats of Arizona are a
wise bunch of politicians. In Mark
Smith they have an excellent race
horse and it seems that they are 60
ing to run him until he either dies or
gets beat. Mark has labored enough
for the people of Arizona and this
time should be given a chance to rest.

IT IS about time for a republican to
enter the race tor justice of the peace
of Clifton precinct. So far the dem
ocrats have the thing their own way.
1t now seems that the race will be
decided at the democratic convention,
unless a republican enters the race.

visited this section on business. He
was called to Metcalf on an incest
case, but it is reported it amounted
to nothing. Mr.. Stratton was elected
to the office of district attorney two
years ago on the republican ticket
and has made the county a good of

but his party and friends will no
doubt bring him out again this fall
for reelection.

Nearly Drowned in the Frisco.


On Tuesday of this week party
consisting of Mr.. and Mrs Cherry and
family, John Birdno and family, Ira
Harper and Platt Curtis, were on
their way down the Frisco from the
Blue to Clifton. They were travelling
in wagons and tine river was up lit
tie, though not high enough to be
very dangerous. When they reached
point about five miles above the
old Harper place Mr.. Cherry drove
into the river to cross and instead of
pulling upstream he attempted to
go straight across. The water was
deep and the current strong and the
wagon turned over with the family in
it. One of the children was about
fourteen months old and the other
about fourteen years. The men rem
dered assistance and succeeded in
.rescuing Mr.. Cherry and the oldest
child, but Mrs. Cherry and the baby
were in deep water and went down
stream. Mrs. Cherry showed great
courage and clung TO the baby with
OllC dUQ Will llC OllCl nuHS On
the wagon box. The course of the
river was rOu IN one and she floated
fully POO yards before the men could
rescue her.
They lost their wagon and all pro-
visions and clothing. Messrs. Birdno
and Harper came TO town Wednesday
and made arrangements for relief,
and the unfortunate family is now
camped at the Harper place, about
nine miles above Clifton. Had they
been travelling alone, the entire party
would no doubt have been drowned.
IN THE last issue of the Journal
there appeared resolutions passed by
Clifton citizens relating to the clos
ing of the saloons in Graham county.
The meeting must have been a quiet
affair as very few citizens of Clifton
knew anything about it and why the
resolutions were sent away for publ
cation is not known. For the benefit
of Clifton people who have not seen
the resolutions, we reproduce them:
Resolved: We are united in I'M
compromising opposition to any can
didate for public Office of Graham
county, VINO does not stand IN favor
of closing the saloons in Graham
county and Arizona.
Resolved: That it is the wishes of
the citizens of Clifton who are in
favor of law aud order, that we send
men to the legislature who will pass
such laws as will protect the women
and children against indecency, ard
to punish those who wilfully violate
the laws of 4 riZOna. that we urUe a II
law abiding citizens. all who stand
for civic ghteou-ness, to co-operat t
with us in electing good men to Office.

Graham county's most prominent
citizens and cattlrmen. He is a
