tice In Grasp, He VIII Make
More Than His Congress
Sional Salary.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Nov that the electon is over 1t IL
proper to say something of the demo
cratic candidate VINO was defeated for
congress In Arizona. Mr.. Smith has
served this territory in congress six
teen years and we believe he has &C
complished as much for Arizona dur
ing that time as could have possibly
been accomplished BY any other man.
Not only has he guarded and defend
ed the rights of Arizona IN the halls
Of congress. but he accomplished
much which has added to her pros
parfty. The greatest service he per
formed was, Of course. in connection
with the defeat of the JOINT statehood
bill which the republicans undertook
20 force upon the people of New Mex
500 and Arizona While. the republi-
cans of the, territory undertook to
make 1t appear during the recent cam
paign that Mark Smith had little to do
with the defest of that ubiquitous
measure. the records show the great
work he perfermei during the on
slaught made on Arizona AS was
said by Hon John Sharp Williams, IL
was Marx Smith that succeeded in
bringing the opposition of every dem
ocratic senator and congressman
against the jointure proposition and
fhis work was what saved Arizona.
Foraker could have accomplished
nothing for our people without the aid
of the solid democratic vote in the
senate. tE&
The defeat Of Mark Smith win not
alter the fact that he is today one of
the most popular members of con-
gress of the United States; it win not
alter the fact that throughout the
country he. is recognized as one OF
the big men of the country; 1t win not
result In a change of the record which
shows that he has gained a promi.
nence In Washington never attained
by any delegate from any territory in
the country; defeat leaves him the
same big-hearted, able, eloquent gen
tlenan that victory left him in the
past.
Mark Smith entegNd congress a poor
man In 1886; he viii retire, practical
ly. in the same condition, so far cs
worldly wealth is concerned.
Mark Smith win, OF course. remain
in Arizona, where he is loved and
admired By thousands, who, deIuded
by the false theory that it was neces-
sary to elect republican to secure
statehood. voted against him.
In Tucson Mr.. Smith has a splendid
