CONTEST IN
THE SEVENTH


Camden. April p. \ great
. surprise was sprung IN the Sey-
enth Congressional convention
here Yesterday when it was an
.nounced that the certificate Of
nomination had been delivered
to Minor Wallace, the incumbent.
1t is claimed that he carried the
district by a small majority. the
vote that had caused the uncer-
tainty heretofore. and which was
just reported that of Desha coun-
ty.
Wallace claims the nomination
of the ground of having received
the certificate of nomination from
Joe Galloway, chairman of the
Congressional committee under
rules prescribed by the commit
tee for the canvassing of the vote
at meeting of the committee
held in Arkadelphia March 2.
The Goodwin forces, who had
not expected any such develop
ment, are much wrought up over
the proceedings and will not sur
render the effort without a con-
test. They claim that the alleg-
ed rules made at Arkadelphia by
the committee can not change
the legal status of the case. and
that the nomination should go to
Goodwin, it being contended that
he carried the district by about
300 plurality over Wallace.

MEET

Yesterday and Elected State
and Congressional
Delegates.

Delegated representatives OF
the republican party OF Nevnda
county met in county convention
at LaneburQ Yesterday and the
organization was made purma-
nent by the election of Jack
Grayson. Of Prescott, chairman.
and W. c. Moore, secretary.
The first business OF the con-
yention was the election of dele
gates to the state convention,
and the following were chosen:
Jack Grayson. W. c. Moore, +:
DeLaughter, Tom Clemmons and
jim Stevens.
Congressional delegates elected
were: J. K. Prescott, Walter

A congressional convention was
called to meet at Camden. They
met and adjourned without can
vassing the votes of the district
cast for congressman, and, from
what we can gather from the
newspaper reports and delegates
present, the only thing that the
convention did do was to organize
and elect a congressional central
committee. 1t seems that Wal
lace has given out a statement
that he is the democratic nominee
and that he had a certificate to
that effect, given him by the
chairman of the old central COM
mittee. During the session of
the convention Mr.. Bradley of
Clark county, moved that the
convention proceed to canvass
the vote and nominate a candi-
date for congress. His motion
was ruled out of order, and at
! this juncture the convention was
informed that at a meeting of the
congressional central committee,
on March 2. at Arkadelphia (Ark-
ansas). rules were adopted that
the chairman of the central COM
mittee would canvass the vote
and issue a certificate to the nom,
inee. This new arrangement, il
seems, none OF the candidates
except Wallace knew anything
about. There was a previous

The circus is coming to town,

the candidates to prepare free
lemonade, and get a better chance
to ask a vote in return for the
favor of a free drink, for surely
no candidate would give any
thing stronger than lemonade.

THERE is little reason to be-
lieve but what the officers of any
county should be on a salary
basis. IL the commissions allowed
are not sufficient it is an injustice
to any man to ask him serve, and
on the other hand If the amount
of commissions are too large it is
an injustice to the people to have
the same to gay. This is a mat
ter that will be well to inquire
into before you cast your ballot.

Phoenix is the most beautiful and by far the most substantial city in Ari- Zona. Our forefathers wisely foresaw Phoenix the capitol and commercial center of the Golden Empire aud real ized that the land of milk and honey could be found nowhere so great. so grand and so beautiful as in the Salt River valley.
 Phoenix, like all western towns. has seen the rise and fall of fancied dreams. The many years of anticipa- tioh O. our forefathers have now dawned upon the present generation into actual realization, and the man who succeeds from now on must be up and doing, for we are now living in the age of accomplishment. The old method of sitting and waiting and let ting the other fellow shoulder the bur den of expense in bringing about the advance stages of progress is past. New and uD-to-date methods are now the rule. The new citizen is in power. and we who have been taking our ,siesta' wake up, stripped of business possibilities.
 We are now making history. Our forefathers formulated the first chap ters many years ago, when by their forethOught and wisdom, wide and well planned boulevards and streets were laid out throughout our city, and the second chapter was closed when the next generation grasped the parents idea and lined these streets with beau tiful trees.

 Our building conditions are now most favorable. With the interurban railroad an assured fact. we have all other requirements for the asking. No where on earth can such a slate de- posit be found as north Of Phoenix. about ten miles. This deposit is fully developed and pronounced by slate ex- perts to be the finest in the world. A large cement deposit has been develop ed near b. and this will be found to be extremely advantageous to increase the demand of building material. A railroad to this point will be built at an early date. We will thus have our supply Of cement and slate.
 At the completion of the Tonto Dam the $100.e00 cement mill will most probably be removed to the large ce- ment deposits of raw material (clay and lime) in the valley. It is under stood that the Reclamation Service will there manufacture cement for the valley irrigating ditches and the lat erals in the Salt River valley, the Re- clamation Service having already set apart through the secretary of the in- terior, approximately, 1500 acres of this virgin deposit.

 The possibilities of Phoenix cannot be enumerated.

When the Roosevelt dam and the water storage is completed. cheap power (electric) for manufacturing purposes will be available. We have in the surrounding valley and stored up in the mountains on all sides raw material for laying the foundation for the richest empire in. the world, with Phoenix as the central and logical sup ply point.
