Popular Phoenix ATTORNEY
Yesterday Decided to
Make a Fight for the
Nomination for Attorney
General.
CANDIDATE HAS
ENVIABLE RECORD
Another Important An
nouncement Made Yester-
day is That Two Other
Men Are Out for Cor
poration Commission.

The republican state ticket was filled
yesterday by the announcement that
Captain George d. Christy had decid-
ed to make the race for attorney-gen-
eral and that F. NJ Pool, of Winkel-
man, and James NJ Elder. of Mayer.
would place their names before the peo-
pie for corporation commissioners. In
fact the ticket is a little more than
full in respect of the latter office for
there were already two candidates
with three places To fill. the candidates
formerly announced being T. s De
Pass of Phoenix and w. :. Sturgls of
Tucson. This Will give the voters an
opportunity to select three out of four.
Captain Christy. the candidate for
attorney general, is one Of the most
widely and favorably known men in
the territory. both as a citizen and
lawyer. He has grown from childhood
in this city and IL now In the prime
OF life, having been identified with
public affairs in the county and terri
tory ever since his early manhood.
Captain Christy completed a college
course in California after which he
entered the Harvard law school from
which he graduated with honOrs, and
began the practice Of law in Phoenix.
He performed very creditablv the du-
ties of assistant United States district
attorney during one term and is now
prosperous and successful private
practitioner.

Ia of hi
to his country. accompanying the First
Territorial regiment under Colonel Nc
Cord and during that service earned
the rank of captain. Even before that
time he had begun to take an interest
in territorial politics and was once a
prominent candidate in the party con-
vention. for delegate to congress. He
has been a loyal party worker IN sea
son and out. and Possesses a persOnali-
ty that has won him n wide friend
ship. even among those of opposing po-
litiCal faith. As n candidate for dele
gate to the constitutional convention
Mr.. Christy led his ticket in this coUn-
ty. and came near being elected over
notable democratic majority in the
county. Personal popularity and legal
talent should make him a dangerous
man for whoever runs his banner up
on the democratic ticket.
OF the two candidates who yester-
day announced themselves for corpora
tion commissioner, it can truthfully be
said that both are fine gentlemen. cap
able business men and worthy of ev-
cry confidence. Mr.. Pool has been in
business for many years in Mammoth,
Pinal county. and is now conducting
n lumber business in Kelvin and Win
kelman. He is well known as a lead
ing republican in his county and one
the voters will find it a pleasure To
honor.
Mr. Elder is the well known Jim
Elder who covers all Arizona and some
other parts. in the interest of the Sagi-
nav & Manistee Lumber Co. of Will
liams. His home is i'm Yavapai coun-
ty but he is at home anywhere he finds
himself in Arizona for he is popular
