Iceed Judge F. S. Naves on the bench
 Launched by the bar of Marfcopa coun Ity, should meet with hearty acclaim Iby not only the members. of the bar
 but the people generally of Globe and leila county.
 Mir. Jacobs is eminentIy qualified for the position.
 He is well versed ,n the law. He is Iconscientious. He is a man of good judgment-broad, bra:ny and not eas- lily biased.
 l True. Mr. Jacobs is a republican, land strange as it may seem. for this reason Mir. Jacobs ha.s the support of the Silver Belt, as against any demo crat that could be named at this time in Cila county. Upder circumstances a little different the Silver Belt would be disposed to boost for the appoint ment of George J. Stoneman. the brl- | liant law partner Of Mir. Jacobs and a staiwart democrat.
 But the Silver Belt is first. last and all the time. a Globe and GiIa county advocate. We believe in home rule. We voluntarily thrown down the bars and bid welcome 10 a semi-carpetbag- ger or a full-hedgci carpeIOagger.
 
 ltingent-mostly federal office holders 1 fighting for a continuance ai the pie counter. do not thwart the movement, Arizona will soon have statehood, with its accompanying nome rule and selt- government. It is a Sood time now to do away, as far as nossible, with the encroachment of ah sns and take an advance taste of ths sweets of self government.
 IL is a question -ppeaiing to the loyalty of Globe an, Gfia county peo- pie. If F. c. Jacohl Is not appointed to succeed Judge Nave. Attorney Gen eral E. s. Clark will undoubtedly be the man. Mir. Clark vas good print CT in his type-setting days. and he bears the reputation of being good lawyer. But MT. Clark isn't Globe man. nor is he . Giia county repre- sentative. There has been no goo1 reason advanced why he should re ceiye the appointment. other than that it is a move on the federal appointee's checker-board to get one of rne;r men out of the way, so that. pcrnaps. an other can make the king TOW. That's the story in q nutshell. It is wafs- pered about that the republicans even went so far as to insist that Mir Stone man make a struggle for the place. The scheme was rather transparent. Mir. Clark. republican. would have been pitted against Mir. Stoneman in the conflict before the republican president and later al the conlirma- ton proceedings before q republican senate. It would be hard to figure out Mir. Stoneman's fate. or the fate Jof any other democrat wao might try for the place.
 If Judge Nave. as the press Gfs- patches state. intends to open offices for the practice of law anG make his home in Globe, he certainty will show his loyalty to his home city anc coun- ty by advocating Giia county man for his successor. lie can nave no valid objections to giving his support to a man in every way qualified for the position. and one who stands high in the councils of his parry as does Mir. Jacobs. Judge Nave's support is perhaps worth more than that of any other man in the territory. It would insure the appointment or the man who received il. Mir. Jacobs candida cy can only find opposition Tn the ranks of federal office holders seeking to prolong their jobs arter statehood has been granted to Arizona After that Mr. Jacobs might meet with DO litical opposition 1t home, but that is
