THE CITY ELECTION.
The time is now drawing near
when it win be necessary for the yot-
ers of the city to chose a new set
of city officials. The initial duty to
be performed in this connection viii
be at the primaries which have been
called by the city council Both the
republicans and democrats have
complied with the primary election
law of this territory by arranging
the apportionment and submitting list
Of the election officers for the primary
election in the several wards. So far
as the democrats are concerned they
will be able to go into the campaign
with clean hands SO far as the city
administration during the past two
years is concerned. Two years ago
the voters of Bisbee placed the city
administration in the hands of the
democrats by the election of ma
-ity of the city council from that
rty. Since then great many pub
improvements have been provided
spite Of the many obstacles
to be encountered in this city when
street making and sewer making is
undertaken and we are inclined to be-
Heve that about all that could be
hoped for has been accomplished. We
do not desire to be understood as
claiming all the credit for the demo-
cratic council which is due the pres
ent city administration, but we do
desire to make it plain here that the
democrats are in a position to take
credit for what has been accomplish
ed. along with the republicans con-
nected with the city government.
The local democrats have been
showing very commendable inter
est in the city of Bisbee recently in
organizing for the city campaign. We
believe this activity viii result in the
selection Of men to be placed upon
the democratic ticket on whom tn,
raople of Bisbee may implicitly relJ
a continuance OF good nlG lici
government. 1t is known that ii
bee the political majority lies
..--h the democrats and if the demo
Gratis name worthy ticket the coming
city election should amount to ne
more than a ratification of their &C
ton.
So far there has been no individual
activity on the part of either demo
ocrats or republicans who may b.
aspiring to a position on either ticket
In both parties are plenty of good mel
and we hope that the best will b
Aosen.
We should all look always to tn
slfare of Bisbee in our political al
.ons as well as in our every actor
but this should be the year whe
democrats should get together for
sweeping victory from one end Of tn
the territory to the other. There
reason now more than at anytime j
the past when there should be car
In the selection Of men for every p
sition worthy Of election and competer
TO handle the various officials position
for the best interests of the people
the cities, counties and the territor
The time is drawing Zery nes
when politics will mean more in Al
zona than 1t has ever meant in Il
past. Statehood cannot mocn ions'
be Withheld from the territory by Il
republican party. When Arizona b
comes a state governors, judges ar
United States senators viii be I
for disposition and the democrats no
should be exercising that care in the
actions which viii result in great
strength later on.
The organization of a democrat
club in Bisbee was a step in Il
right direction and we hope the e
---siasm which has attended it
viii be continued and gro
nger with every succeeding met
