Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1908-07-09

so that there may be no weak point
from Paradise to Benson or from
Douglas to Johnson camp.
So far, as said before, there has been
only the most casual and informal talk
about the various prospective candi-
dates and aside from one or two of the
Offices no one could say with certain
ty as to who are likely TO be placed on
the ticket.
Councilmanic Possibilities.
For the council the names of Fred
Suffer, the prominent Bisbee attorney.
and Hon Neil Bailey of Naco have
been mentioned. Fred Suffer has been
prominent in the party ever since he
came to the county and whPe never
having held an elective office he has
always been earnest in party work.
He is a good speaker and has never
failed to raise his voice when called
upon to do so for the success of party
principles and candidates. Mr.. Bailey
has served the county twice in the
lower house of the legislature, having
won the speakership of the last ses-
sion. He, like Suffer, Is a man of
ability and an earnest worker always
for his party. Should the convention
choose either of these gentlemen the
party viii have a faithful leader and
an able representative in the next
council.
Roemer Wants Treasurer's Office.
For the office of treasurer it is
known that Hon. Steve Roemer Of Ben
son has been feeling hi way to the
democratic nomination for the past
six weeks or more. Whether there
will be other aspirants remains to be
seen. Roemer has served Cochlse
county well in the past, having twice
represented the county in the lower
house of the legis' stature and twice in
the council. He has resided in Ben
son for many years where ne has
charge of the Wells Fargo express Of
fee. 1t was through the efforts of
Roemer that the industrial school in
Benson was brought to Cochise coun-
ty. He is well qualified to fl. the CT
flee of treasurer and if placed on the
ticket will be a popular candidate.
For the Office of recorder ii is ex-
pected the democrats will name the
present incumbent, c. A. Mcdonald.
So far no other name has been men
toned for the position and it is quite
likely that Mcdonald win be named
by the convention without opposition.
He has made a splendid official and is
popular with all with whom ne has
had business dealings.
For district attorney J. F. Ross of
Douglas seems to be the general raw
orite. Mr.. Ross was a candidate r0r
the nomination two years ago. being
defeated by only two votes. After the
election he was appointed to the po-
sition of assistant district attorney
and it is well known that he has per-
formed practically all the duties of the
Office during the term. This has re-
suited in a good record which is re-
commenting him now for the nomina-
ton. No other candidate has yet
made his aspirations known.
The Office of probate Judge has been
held for three terms by Judge Good
body, but it is not known whether he
will ask for the Office again. The
name of L. F. McCourt of Wilcox has
been suggested for this Office and it is
likely the friends of Mr. McCourt will
ask for this preferment for him in
return for his long and faithful party
service.
Several for Sheriff.
Democratic sentiment seems 10 pc
that great care should be taken in Sc
lecting the candidate for sheriff on
the democratic ticket. Several prob
able candidates for this nomination
have been mentioned. Colonel D. H.
Johnston of Douglas, it is believed,
viii have the solid backing of this
city. He is well known throughout
the county and has many friends who
believe in his ability to win the cleo
ton as a candidate for sheriff. Captain
Wheeler of the rangers is also under
stood to be a candidate and he is not
without friends or reputation for 10y
atty to his party at al times. Others
mentioned in connection with this Of
fee have been James Lochlin of Bis
bee and Mr.. Hughes of the same
place. All these men are worthy DEM
ocrats. They, it Is believed, each real
ize the necessity of naming the strong
est man for sheriff and that the de-
feat of either before the convention
would be because it was the belief of
the party representatives that some
one of them, or some one not yet men
toned, was the stronger man before
the people.
So far no candidate has been men

ent. The democratic candidate for
this Office two years ago was Al
Stgmpf of Bisbee. Mr.. Stumpf was
defeated by only a few votes but he
has stated to friends that he VIII not
ask for the chance to make the race
again although it is believed he could
win easily now. Two supervisors Will
be elected this fall.
Adamson for Supervisor.
For the nomination Tor supervisor
on the democratic ticket John Rock
of Tombstone has been suggested by
some of his friends and it is believed
he will be a candidate. Douglas will
be emitted to a supervisor and there
seems to be a general agreement that
ex-Mayor w. NJ. Adamson will be the
choice of this city. Mr.. Adamson
would be a valuable man on the board
and his record as mayor of this city
would be a special recommendation TO
the voters in the case OF his nomina-
ton. w. NJ Riggs, the present chair
man of the board, has announced his
candidacy again, but the wording OF
