COUNTY SEAT CLUB ORGANIZED.
Enthusiastic Meeting Last Friday Night
 -COmmitteeS Appointed.

According to call large and en- thusiastic crowd gathered a t Library Hall last Friday night and a Clifton County Seat Club formulated by the election of officers and the appoint ment of various committees to at once take up the vital question for Clifton and set forth the advanta ges of having the county seat here. The meeting wac perfect as to details, and while the committees will work hand and hand and do their duty to the utmost, it is also desired that every citizen take it upon himself to talk and use his influence to forward the cause of his town to the best of his ability.
 The meeting was called to order by Hon. John R. Hampton who pro- posed the name of Hon. Ben NJ. Crawford for permanent chairman, which was unanimously accepted J. B. Murphy was chosen secretars treasurer, whercupon the following committees were appointed:
 On Organiza tion-John R. Hamp- ton, o. A. Risdon, w. F. Hagan, Mat Danenhauer, Minor Simms, Bob Ounnagan, c. E. Leonard, Geo. Fraser. Pat Murphy.

 On Finanoe-Olaf Halyorson, c. F PAscoe, J. B. Murphy, Abe Ferber and Lou Morris
 On Petijon-Judge Globes and M. D. Llttin.
 The time of the meeting was most ly taken up with organization, al though Hon John R. Hampton made some pertinent remarks that should oe remembered by all present and used in boosting hard for Clifton. There is no time to spare in placing cleariy hefore h. people in a clear and concise way the great advan- tages of Clifton over any other town in the new county of Greenlee. They are so numerous that every fair minded voter who has the interest and welfare of the present genera tion and those of the future at heart cannot help but vote for Clifton for the county seat of the uew county. In the first place Clifton has the largest population of any other town in the county and is uear>of access by rail, wagon roads and trails to other towns of nearly equal size. Morenci and Metcalf are only six miles from Clifton, connected by rail and wagon roads, and witnesses and jurors can come and go the same day, thus avoiding the inconvenience and expense of making a trip to Duncan, and, as in many cases now, the unpleasantness of taking the "paupers oath," and having the county pay most all expenses for. witnesses, besides the mileage to Duncan will almost equal that which is now on to Solomonville.
 These are questions for the tax payer to consider as well as the average citizen. The weak point has been raised by the Duncanites that Clifton is mining town, and the mines may play out and there would be no Clifton. This point is so badly put that it is hardly worth while to answer. If Clifton should ge down half the people of the upper valley would go with it, for Clifton is their mainstay and supporter.
 Let the people of Clifton pull hard for this proposition which comes to them only once, and the opportunity should not be overlooked, and when the voter goes to the polls on Novem- Der Sth, remember that it is his duty to himself, his town where he makes his living, and the people to come after him, to vote for Clifton for the counly seat.
