Williams news., 1908-10-31

the hustle during the past week Trips were made to the different lumber camps, Canyon Diablo, Grand Canyon and elsewhere, a nd on the eve of the battle of ballots every indication points to a splen- did victory at the polls next Tues day. Tonight at Flagstaff a grand final rally for the east end of the county will be held, and on Mon day night all the democratic can didates come to Williams to close the campaign with monster meet ing at the opera house.
 The fattering reception t h e democratic candidates have re- ceived at the hands of the people everywhere they have appeared ar gues strongly toward the complete success of the ticket. It Is a good, clean ticket, made up of good. sub stantial citizens who deserve the loyal support they will undoubt- edly receive next Tuesday at the polls.
 If ever there remained a finger ing doubt in the mind of anyone as to the complete route of the re publican congressional burnt offer ing it has been dispelled by Marcus A. Smiths magnanimous action in closing his campaign in Arizona, and flying to the aid of the nat ional ticket in the east. Every | loyal Arizonan, regardless of poli tics, takes a just pride in the fact that her brilliant son is thus hon ored in the east where his wonder ful ability is recognized equally as much as it is in his own home And by the way, what complete refu tation of the lying islanders as to Mark Smiths lack of influence in the east this one significant act af lords. Does the national commit tee of either of the two great politi- cal parties select uninfiuential nop- entities to become mem bers of their Speakers Bureau? Not much. They are always the brightest, brainiest men the country afford. Cast your eyes over the list and see for your self.

 And maybe Coconino's brilliant son, Hon. Henry F. Ashurst, whom the Territorial Central Com mittee elected to fill Mark Smiths dates in <he south, is not making the animal Is sit up and take notice. The sou thern press is teeming with praise of his efforts in Mark Smiths behalf, and all agree in pronoune- ing him one of the most brilliant orators and campaigners the south west possesses. It is to be regret ed, however, that he has been ab vent from Coconino, and thereby prev ented from replying to the republican candidate for district attorney's tirade of misquotation. However the Democratic Central Committee offers as reward pound of cheese for the production of reputable citizen of the county who was present in Flagstaff on the evening of October 10th and Seard Henry F. Ashurst claim that M,rk Smith was in congress in 1881. or that Mark Smith claimed that he had anything whatever to do with the passage of the act setting aside the University lands. What Ashurst did say and what has been proven time and again. was that when Arizona was SO un fortunate as to be represented in congress by a republican, bill was introduced and passed by that republican, allowing these univer sity lands to be leased and denuded of their valuable timber, and that it was owing to Mark Smiths in-
