a CAMPAIGN
OF ISLANDER.


The letter published yesterday from
hon. Mark Smith replying to the
bunch of ISLANDERS and falsehood which
aad appeared in the Bisbee Evening
diner should be sufficient to discredit
hat paper through the remainder of
he campaign. The first lie started by
he Miner was about the cattlemen be
ing up in arms against the democrats.
it was shown in reply to this that
in the last legislature a bill Affecting
the cattle interests of the territory
was passed after being approved by a
large number of representative cat
tlemen of the territory who went to
Phoenix for that purpose. When the
bill reached the governor he vetoed
it. The Miner is persistent in asking
the question, What has Mark Smith
done in congress?" The answer is
that Mark Smith has satisfactorily
represented the people OF this terri
tory on every question coming before
that body during a service of twenty
years. He has been faithful to every
interest of his constituents who have
upheld and sustained him during all
these years. No man ever represented
constituency more faithfully than
has Mark Smith and the Congressional
Record from year to year will show
that no territory ever had a delegate
in congress more constant in attend
anee or more active or prominent in
legislative work than Mark Smith
The record viii show that Mark Smith
has spoken on every question coming
before congress in which the territory
or his constituents were interested
Cand he is privileged to speak on no
other) during his service as the rep
resentative of Arizoua.
In the face of such a record we
are not surprised that Mark Smith
should be emphatic in his reply to the
falsehoods and ISLANDERS of the Bisbee
Evening Miner.
It was hoped that the present con-
gressional campaign in this territory
would be allowed to proceed on a
basis of honor and truth. but no one
may expect that row in the face OF
what has already appeared IN the
Miner.
If the republican press of Arizona
in the campaign desires to go into a
discussion OF the personal reputation

ERYAN'S IDEA OF THE
pREcEMT HAMDAIHA


In his address at Washington PARK,
New Jersey. Mr.. Bryan made the fol-
lowing striking observation as to con-
ditions surrounding the present cam
paign: My friends. no matter among
what people you go. no matter whom
YOU address, You will find that today
the people have a better understanding
of what the Republican party stands
for and what its policies mean than
YOU knew a few years ago. And IL
you want to know way, after two de-
feats l have been renOminated with
no President to help me with his pa
trCnage, it is due to one hing alone.
and that is the growth of the ideas
for which stand and the conviction
among the people that | an on their
side
The above statement as To the at
titude of the masses toward the Dem
ocratic ticket and the reason therefor
is not in the least exaggerated, as Il
finds abundant confirmation in ex-
Pressions emanating from conserve
tive and non-partisan sources having
wide opportunities for the ascertain
ment of the real situation.
Mr. Bryan's patriotism stands I'M
questioned among intelligent people.
ard the wisdom of the policies advo-
Gated by him finds support in the eff
forts of the present administration to
strengthen its hold upon the public es-
steem by seeking to put clumsy imita-
tions into operation, purpose which

OF the two candidates there should
be no disposition on the part Of the
democrats to avoid the issue on this
basis, as Ralph Cameron has been in

FLORIDA POLITICS
THE BITTER CAMPAIGN COMES TO
 A CLOSE.

 Governor Promises to Be

Broward Looks Like Winner For
 United States Senator--Race For
 Governor Promises to Be
 Very Close.
 Pensacola. Fla. May 1S-(SpeciaD- The campaign for the nomination Of today, and while there has been bit ter campaign among some of those in the race, otherwise those asking for the votes in this county have conduct ed a very conservative campaign.
 Among the candidates there has been practically no mud-slinging or bitter ness, and as q result good feeling ever, and tomorrow will witness hot fight between the various factions throughout the country.
 Interest in the campaign was revived during the latter portion of last week. when the street car strike was settled. and the citizens have now turned their attention to the selection of men to fill the important offices.
 Prior to the settlement of the strike the campaign of the candidates com manded no notice. notwithstanding the fact that for each office there are a number of candidates.
 The indications in Escambia Coun- ty point to Governor Broward as being the leading candidate for the United States Senate. with John Stockton for Governor and Park Trammen for At torney General
 It Is admitted, even by the friends of Governor Broward that Fletcher. one of his opponents. will poll a strong vote in this county, and that Gilchrist for governor against Stockton has strong following, but 1t Is the consen sus of opinion among those well posted that the governor will lead. notwith standing the fact that this Is the home county of John S. Beard, who Is also a candidate for the United States Senate.
 The race for Congress appears to be between J. Walter Kehoe of this city, and Judge Griggs. of Apalachicola, with the probability of a close race, so far as this county is concerned.
 The local candidates are many. and among the important offices to be filled are sheriff. circuit clerk. tax collec- tor, county judge. treasurer and coun- ty solicitor. For the latter 1t is the belief that Loftin will win with ease over Blount. while Van Pelt will prob ably lead Saunders for Sheriff. though the latter will poll a heavy vote.
 McMillan Is conceded to be the lead CT for circuit clerk. while Roberts is expected to defeat D'Alemberte for tax collector.
 Judge Beggs, a candidate for re- election as criminal court judge. will win against Campbell Avery, while the race between Judge Bellinger and Anderson for County Judge will be close, with odds in favor of Bellin- ger.
 Williams Is expected to defeat Scott Tor county treasurer. and will probably win in the first primary as his other opponent Wilson, has little strength. and Is not considered a factor. The candidates spent all of yesterday and today in the country districts, and greater interest Ia being manifested in that section than in the city.
 It Is anticipated that the second primary will be one of the most bit ter and heated ever to be experienced In this county
