Will be Present at
 Finish of the Fight

Arizona is billed for state hood, we believe at the short session. Mark Smith is not { h e dead lion which h i s enemies dare approach with impunity. He stands before congress in his last battle for statehood, his hoary head loftier, his voice clearer, his attitude more determined than ever, and in his grand unselfsh battle he forgets that he was ever in an election in Arizona whether favorable or adverse. Here is where he shows his greatness. shows his manhood, shows his un- d ying love for the Dear Young Territory which has b cen the cradle of all his noble ambitions from child hood.
