MIR. TAFT SAFE
 IN TWO WAYS Is the Opinion d Mir.
 F. M. Murphy HIS ELECTION ASSURED
The Effect on the Country Will be the Opening Up of Industries and a General and Immediate Return of Prosperous Conditions.

Mir F NJ Murphy shortly after his return from New York went to Redon- do. Cal. where Mrs Murphy is stop ping. MT. Murphy expected to leave on Tuesday for Tombstone and will possibly be in Phoenix the latter part of the week.
 While in Los Angeles. Mr Murphy was interviewed on the general politi- cal situation. He said:
 You ask me who I think will be elected. Judge Taft or William Bryan. Why, Judge Taft, of course. Other wise we win have to admit that ma jority of the voters. have lost their heads My dear sir, it seems imposst- bIe to me that a man with such rec ord as Mir. Bryan has, can be elected president of these United States, and it seems doubly ridiculous when run ming against such a man as Judge Taft who represents the very best in American politics and statesmanship, and all that is best for the entire country.
 Those engaged in business, wheth- CT farming, manufacturing. merchant dising. or as mechanics. miners, factory hands. bankers, day laborers. doctors. lawyers. clerks in stores and all-it makes no difference-they will be much better off with Judge Taft elect ed. and what is more. they all know it-at least. a very large majority do, as will be shown when the votes are counted on the 3rd' of November.
 california should and T believe will. give Judge Taft a very large ma jority Why. the difference Judge Tafts election will make in Arizona and Nevada alone. the effects of which will be immediately felt in southern California. will be sufficient to justify this state in giving Judge Taft an ov- erwhelming majority The advance ment of Arizona and Nevada will con tribute directly to southern California. as Is well undestood by most people Millions of dollars will be available for the development Of our mines as soon as the election of Judge Taft is | announced.
 While it is generally conceded that | his election is assured, still capital is | timid and purposes to proceed eau ! tiOusly. and while some improvement | is noticeable as a result of the grow | ing confidence in the results of the | election. as now foretold by the most l observing, no very great turn ahead | can be expected until Bryan and his | teachings are effectually disposed of and Judge Taft gets hold of the reins of government
 "There is no state in the Union that | has more at stake in the coming cleo | ton than California. This is to be a | republican year. Even Arizona eX- ' poets to send a republican delegate to | congress. elect a republican legislature and be admitted to statehood during the short session of congress. What is good for Arizona and Nevada is good for California. particularly south ern California With Judge Taft elect ed, should eXepct to soon begin work i on the Arizona and California railroad, | which is sure to prove an important | feeder to Los Angeles. I should also expect to begin in the near future the construction of several branch lines, and add hundreds Of men to those al ready at work in the mines in which I am interested.
 Miners and mining operators should | all vote for Judge Taft and I believe most of them will Mining men want money with which to buy mines, pros pectors want to sell their prospects and have them developed, and miners want employment. Every interest calls for Judge Tafts election. None ques- tion his ability, level headedness courage and absolute fairness. Let us have Judge Taft and good times. not | Bryan and business stagnation.
 Tt is quite generally known that am lergeIy interested in the develop
 ment of mines in Arizona and more or less in railroad construction. and am therefore compelled to spend a large part of my time in the monied
 centers of the east. and I speak un-
 derstandingly when l say that we can depend upon very great activity ir
 mines and railroad construction and
 business generally throughout the
 country, as soon as Judge Taft is
 elected
 q honestly believe that we would
 have a period of depression lasting
 over a very considerable length Ol
 time, if by any chance Mir. Bryan
 with his new fangled ideas and vote
 catching impracticable theories should
 succeed in fooling enough of the peo-
 pie to give him a majority of tho
 electoral vote. Personally I think there
 is no chance of any such thing hap | neninp hllt there is no telling what {
 master juggler like Bryan may sue
