That the oyster fight is now on in

Fish and Game took up the Wickhaln

number of men representing both the

GEORGE s. CAGE A DESERVING CANDIDATE.

On the democratic ticket there is a candidate who will go before the voters next Monday deserving of cleo ton for a combination of reasons, capability. energy, peculiar fitness for the office and as recognition for his services and unflinching loyalty to his party. That man is George s. Gage. candidate for city clerk. Gage is a virginian. resident of Arizona for more than five years. and citizen of Bisbee for over three years. He is making an effort to see every voter in the city. He believes the demo- 'crats are entitled to the office of city clerk. It has been held by the republi- cans for more than four years. The incumbent in office is candidate for reelection. The office is one. Gage argues. that should not become one of life tenure. It pays we'll and com mands the attention of a man during all his business hours. Gage prom ises to give it that attention.
 During his residence in Bisbee Gage has been employed at the railroad station as baggage master. His treat ment of the travelling public there has been courteous and efficient at all times. He is a bookkeeper and quali- fled in every way to perform the duties of the office of city clerk accurately and promptly. Gage is young man, clean in life, scrupulously honest in principle and highly deserving of the success that seems assured at the coming election.

DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL
 ENTITLED TO REELECTION.

There are three candidates for coun- ell on the Democratic ticket entitled to every vote cast at next Mondays cleo ton. L. C. Shattuck, Frank Haines and L. R. Allen form this trio. They are members of the present council and no better argument in favor of their election can be made than to point to their record of the past two years. It has been up to the four Democratic members of council to de- eide on what improvements they would make and in what manner they should be made No matter how long and hard the Republicans protest that they too had share in furthering Bisbee's municipal improvements during the two years past, the bald fact remains that nothing could have been accom- plished without the initiative of the |
 four Democratic members.
 George N. Porter is not candidate for reelection. his place on the ticket being taken by W. M. Edwards, who will make a good member of council and who is pledged to follow the same progressive policy of the pres ent council.
 CounciImen Shattuck, Allen and Haines have proven their fitness and exceptional ability to handle the city's affairs in council; they have had two years experience in the improvements that have been made and are still under way. New men would be en- tireIy unfamiliar with the work in hand. Its progress might be seriously affected by a change.
 Apply simple business principle to the argument in behalf of electing these three members of council Not a word of criticism has been raised in any quarter against their conduct of the city's affairs. They have been
 praised on all sides for what they have accomplished for Bisbee. Then
 why should change be advocated' lIf a business man or firm has good
 man or set of men in charge ot affairs

 The Democratic party mas been in control of the city council in Bisbee It's administration has been tried and not found wanting. The opposition is not making a fight because of any grievance over the conduct of city af- fairs. The Republicans want in office ser selfish motives. They admit they would be green and inexperienced in managing the city's affairs in council, but they are out to make a showing for the success and glory of the Re publican party in the Territory of Arizona. either from patriotic mo lives" or otherwise as Chairman Holmes of the Republican city central committee puts 1t.

If George Neale is elected mayor of Bisbee there will not be minute of his term he will not be boosting Bis bee and standing up for her rights and preference. Neale believes in a Great CT BIsbee, one that will so completely overshadow the other cities of the ter ritory in population, progress and in dustry that there will be no tenable ground for comparison. When you vote for George Neale next Monday you will be casting a ballot for a man that is going to fight for Bisbee to the last ditch. Neale has no other pref erence. It is Bisbee, first last and al ways with him.

FOR CITY MARSHAL, JACK STEVENS, THE MAN.

There is little or no doubt as 10 who will be the next city marshal of Bisbee. Jack Stevens is the man In the race for the nomination Stevens showed strength that landed him a winner. His campaign was waged in clean and straightout manner. His opponents came to him and assured him of their hearty support. And they are making good their promise. Stevens has back of him the united Democracy in Bisbee. He forms a strong link in support of the whole ticket.
 For nearly ten years Jack Stevens has been employed in the mines. He is the friend and fellow workman of the miner. He is man capable of filling the office of marshal. There will be no time when he will be found want ing in nerve, judgment and cooiness in action. The order in Bisbee is splendid That is compliment that can honestly be handed to City Mar shal Snodgrass and the very efficient force of officers he has under him. That standard win not suffer in the least when Jack Stevens is returned the successful candidate for city mar. shaI. His sense of fairness and his conception of the duties of the office will combine exactly right.
 In Stevens the miners have repre- sentative on the Democratic ticket right from the mines. That is how he has made his livelihood. Stevens is real miner And he has the re spect and confidence of the business men of Bisbee who will help to elect him next Monday.

Underhand attacks on a mans per sonai character are as despicable in politics as they are in private life or business. The voters and citizens of Bisbee are too thoroughly American and fair in their sense of justice to stand for minute stabbing a man in the back. It is public property in Bisbee today that what were intended to be secret attacks on George Neale, democratic candidate for mayor, have been circulated. Who is responsible for them. we do not know or suspect. Of their purpose we are certain. They are intended to encompass his defeat for mayor next Monday. These methods are Characteristic of the bur rover and slanderer They bear the stamp of untruth-
