Speaking O. money" said the night
Waterman thoughtfully, as he selected
an empty soapbox on the wharf for a
seat, the whole world would be diff
ferent if we all 'ad more of it. 1t would
be a brighter and 'appier place for
everybody.

ignoring the statement of Waterman

Territorial Results.

So far as heard from the results in Arizona show large republican gains, Cameron being assured of his election by between 800 and 900 majority. The legislative council appears to be dem- Ocratic by two-thirds. Yavapai, Mar icopa, Pima, Santa Cruz, Yuma, Mo- have, Gila, Pinal, and Graham having elacted democrats. The house is as yet uncert; in, al h ugh it is claimed by the democrats by small majority. In the thirteen counties of the terri tory the tickets have been badly cut up, some of the old time democratic strongholds being broken into by their active republican opponents. All along the line republicans have made a great fight, with the exception of Mo- have and Yuma, where the democrats S have gained some of the offices for merly held by republicans.
Mohave County miner., 1908-11-07
Congressman Ralph Cameron.

For the first time in his political ca. reer Mark Smith went down to defeat at the hands of republican, when the voters of Arizona last Tuesday by a handsome majority elected Ralph Cameron their representative in con. gress. In this case the unexpected happened, few believing that Cameron stood the slightest show of getting the coveted toga. Smith carried Mohave, Gila, Yuma, Pima, Santa Cruz and Graham, while Cameron carried Yav- apai, Maricopa, Apache, Navajo, Pi- nal, COchise, and Coconino. His ma jOrity is estimated at about $50. Two years ago Mark Smith carried the ter ritory by about 5000 majority, which made the democrats in the campaign just past somewhat apathetic. The vote cast was below that of two years ago, although the registrations throughout the territory showed an increase. Mohave county lost in reg istration, although there are many more voters here than two years ago. Many people neglected to place their names on the register throughout the county for the reason that they may escape jury duty.
 In commemoration of the great vic tory the republicans of the territory are to meet in Phenix Monday next and have the jubilation of their lives and at the same time arrange for a fyLt for stat ehOOd
