The above selections are meeting
with general commentator from all
elements Of the party throughout the
| territory. The Phoenix Republican
says:
The selection Of Hoval A. Smith Of
Bisbee as chairman is a good strategic
move as well as the recognition Of a
man eminently fitted to conduct the
business of the campaign. Cochise
county il to be one Of the chief bat
tlefelds Of the campaign and Mr.. Smith
il as familiar with conditions in that
part of the territory as he is with his
J own business which il very largely in
Bisbee and vicinity. Mr.. Smith is Of a
strong and convincing personality and
has been resident of Arizona for
many years, though il Is comparatively
recently that he has been prevailed
upon to take an active working inter
est in politics. As business man his
career has been one Of repeated and
signal successes and the party is for
tunate in securing a man Of his equip
ment who is willing to devote his time
to the strenuous work Of the campaign.
Sims Ely, who has been named as
secretary of the committee, needs no
introduction to the people Of Arizona.
His long connection with public affairs
has acquainted them with his talent
for organization and effective work
The democrats particularly have a
burning remembrance Of the campaign
four years ago when Mr.. Ely in the
same capacity contributed very ma
terially to the reducing Of the demo.
cratic plurality by several hundred
votes and giving Mark Smith the big
gest scare he has experienced in the
whole course of his political career
With more fortuitous circumstances
this year than the party ever faced
before in this territory, and vita his
experience Of four years ago, ii may be
predicted that he will work even more
effectively than before.
l.. w. Collins, who will be located al
the Bisbec headquarters AS assistant
secretary, is well known in both coun
: ty and territorial politics as an indefa
: tigable hustler. His campaign work IL
! this county has hitherto secured hin
"A local prominence in party councils
