FOR JOINT COUNCILMAN
 PIMA AND SANTA CRUZ
The Democrats Take Occasion at Prescott to Ratify the National Ticket.

Among the accomplishments of the democratic territorial convention on Saturday was the nomination of joint councilman for Pima and Santa Cruz. The nominee is James B. Finley of Pima. who has represented that coun- tv in the council and once in the as sembly.
Arizona republican., 1908-08-10

Following the convention there was a ratification Of the national demo- cratic ticket at the Elks' theater. The Journal Miner gives the following de- scription of the ceremonies with a syn opsis of the remarks of the principal speakers:
 Hon Henry F. Ashurst presided as chairman Of the evening and in open ing the meeting made a brief but elo- quent and forceful address. Dealing to some extent in generalities, he praised the hospitality of the Prescott citizens and residents of the county. He also spoke in commendatorv terms of the manner in which the convention had been conducted and the harmony which had prevailed even though the two factions warred with enthusiastic zeal in support of the two principal candidates, Mark Smith and Eugene Brady O'Neill.
 Mark Smith was the first speaker introduced. He reviewed the work of congress and incidentally told of the republican growth to power and all legged despOtism. The republican ad- miniStration he said was not conducive tn good and did not promote the best welfare of the country. He paid a glowing tribute to Bryan. who he said was the greatest commoner the country
Arizona republican., 1908-08-10

had ever produced since the days of Jefferson. If Bryan was elected he as serted the territory would gain imme- diate statehood and the greatest ad- vancement and progress the country had ever seen be stated would take place.
 In refutation of the Accusations which his opposcrs had brought against him. Smith said that he had always been true to the best interests of Ari- zona: ttat he had never betrayed his trust and as long as he lived his ev- cry endeavor would be for the terri tory which had SD honorcd him
 Eugene Brad.- O'Neiu was the next speaker. Magnanimous to his success full contestant he spoke highly of the work which Mark Smith had accom- plished in congress during his many yedrs of service He also spoke briefly upon Bryan and the principles he stands for and in knocking the repub- licau party. stated that every good which had been achieved during the
Arizona republican., 1908-08-10

that the democratic party in the terri tory had been given new lease of life.
 As to the platform, they said that it seemed to suit all branches of the party 9rd that was what it was in tended -'- an-how.
 The returning Maricopa members said that there was no soreness any where t-at the.- could discover. If there was any they ought to know about t. co- the inflammation would be pretty close to them. But it was an old wound, no longer acute and had really cuit hurting.
 They had succeeded in getting in the name of their candidate before the convention cOr the last two months. That was all that they had hoped to accomplish. At one time it looked as if that were beyond their reach. Now. they say. the democrats of the terri tory know abort MT. O'Neill and his name will be fresh in the minds when the question of eleCting United States senators is brought before the voters.
 Sheriff Carl Harden. who had been in camp at Camp Brodie, came down with the other members of the delega- ton. He made a hurried trip to his home at Tempe. returning in the even ing to take the train north to Camp Rrodie this morning He will accom- pany the rifle team to Camp Perry.

present administration was that gain ed through Roosevelt's usurpation of the Bryan principles and policies.
 Col. J. F. Wilson, ex-delegate to con- gross, spoke in most part upon the present republican administration which he summed up as being ruled by trusts and the predatory rulers of the industrial world. A crisis, he claimed, had come when a reformation must be made and with a panic hanging over the country, it remained for such a man 2s Bran to assume the rcins of government and save the people Bry- an, he said, was well fitted through training as a leader and possessed of the ability to correct the abuses which he imagined prevailed. Briefly he spoke against the republican platform and the tariff question as supported by the party. In closing he gave an eulo- BY tO Mark Smith and his work of the past year.
 Following Col. Wilson was George H. Neale, mayor of Bisbee The speaker extended greetings from the residents of the southland, whom he represented and thanked the Prescott citizens for their hospitality. The people of Co chise county. Inc said. watched the ca reer of Mark Smith with interest, par ticularly as he had first started in his public work there. The democrats. he stated, should pursue the policies for which they have long stood and which in the end would bring deserved tau- rels. He praised Bryan for his fore sight in making his headquarters in the middle west, where he could be nearer to the heart of the common people and away from the influence of predatory wealth and power pro- lection whose interests fay in oppos- ing him and his principles.
