October s, 1910.
JAMES V. PARKS.
Mr.. Paris is a preventative citi-
zen and democrat of the old county
of Graham for which he served as
sheriff two terms a years., and to
know that he made a good one goes
without saying, and now that county
division places him in the environs of
the new county of Greenlee, his ex-
perience and familiarity with the
duties of the Office is warrant that
| if placed on the ticket and elected
he will do his duty to the new county
So much has been written about Jim
heretofor that we can mention but
little new.
I. b. ENGLISH.
Herb English is young business
man of Clifton and is very favorably
known throughout Clifton and Mo
renci, as. well as the entire county,
and is an active, wide-awake enter
prising man, who has few enemies
and hosts of warm friends, and in his
! fight for the nomination is making a
clean, upright canvas. He is
sincere in the conviction that if
nominated he will be elected, and it
is an established fact that he will
do his duty without fear or favor.
Mr. English was almost raised in old
Graham and has seen this great
county grow from a sparsely settled
wilderness, almost, to its present i'm
mense wealth in agriculture and min
eral resources. Therefore without
equivoca1iou malice or aforethought
[. B. would make a first-class sheriff
of the greater county of Greenlee.
J.H. WOOD.
"Johnny" Wood, as he is Familiarity
known, has been a resident of the
old county for oyer twenty years,
coming to Clifton to take his chances
with a growing country when quite a
youth. From the time he first land
ed he has been identified with the
best interests of the Clifton
district in responsible positions,
which he has filed with credit not
only to himself but to those who en-
trusted their faith in him to do his
duty and do it right. Such a man
the people can make no mistake in
placing in office, for a man that is
true to his employees will be true to
the best interests of the people, and
with conscientious feeling that his
time and duty belongs to them. He
is now employed at the D. C. smelter
at Morenci as foreman.
FOR TREASURER.
Only one candidate out for this
office, and it's up to him to get the
possession too.
JOHN NJ. WEBSTER.
Mr.. Webster has lived in Clifton
the past ten years. Five years ago
ne resigned his position with the A.
c. company, and he and Joe Billings
ley opened up a mercantile store on
Hills addition, in which he became
acquainted with the people with
whom at all times he has been a
favorite. For the past three years
he has been in the pipe line depart
ment of the A. G. works, and by his
close attention to that departing Mt
now has entire charge of the numer-
Gus pipe lines used by this company.
If John can take care of such an
intricate system, he is sure to know
! where every dollar of the county S
money is at moments notice. He
is well educated and fully competent
in every particular to fill this re-
Sponsible position with honesty and
d full knowledge of what the people
expect from the treasurer of any
county or corporation.
FOR RECORDER.
This office has two staunch demo-
Gratis who are capable men to open
the books of the new county.
JOHN L. BURKE.
This gentlemen is one of the most
popular employees of the D. c. store
at Moreuci, and As popular wherever
he is known. Mr.. Burke is a gentle
men of pleasing address, and as
Irish names have adorned more
pages of American history than any
other nationality, the name of Burke
ought to look well attached to the
first recorders documents of the last
new county before Arizona becomes a
state. Burke Cochran of Tammany
fame always led his party. to victory
and as Burke has a historical name
it will be so in this case.
GEORGE r. PHILLIPS.
"Uncle" George down at Duncan
cuts some ice among the turnip and
parsnip patches of the new county's
prosperous agricultural section.
George doesn't cultivate many vege-
tables, but has raised and is still
raising large family of four in all,
and a man in that luck ought to be
entitled to any office in the gift of
the people. Mr.. Phillips is a man
who has the qualificati Ons TO fill the
