The Republican City Ticket


 That Phoenix does not intend to change horses while crossing the stream is generally conceded by the average voter. The indications are that the coming city election will be more onc-sided than any that has been held in recent years.
 This is d state of affairs resulting from the general satisfaction with what the present city administration has accomplished and is an expres- sion of confidence that the candi- dates are all men who will always be found confronting such emergen- cies as progress brings to city admins trations.
 The candidates at this time stand upon more advanced platform than has hitherto bound any administra- ton. It is not a radical platform, it imposes the carrying out of no visionary notions. it is not an appeal to any prejudice. It is a business like platform, one which we believe has received the endorsement of every taxpayer in the city. It is in some respects a platform that conditions two years ago did not suggest, but the spirit of it has impelled the pres ent administration, whose accomp- Hshments have far exceeded their pledges of two years ago.
 No man could then accurately fore see the needs of the city within the ensuing two years. just as none now can say what conditions may spring from the rapid growth of the city within the next two years.
 That the administration has risen to the occasion in the past We be Heve will be taken as an earnest by voters that it will do so in the fu- ture-that it will fulfill the pledges of the platform and more.
 There is no man in Phoenix who enjoys a greater measure of the con ndence of the community than Mayor Christy not only as a business man but as an honest and progressive citi- zen. This confidence is based not alone upon his long residence in Phoenix and the success of his bus mess career but also upon his achievements as a public official
 c. ]. McElroy whom it is pro posed to elect councilman from the First ward has distinguished himself by the interest he has always taken as a private citizen in the affairs of Phoenix and his activity in every move for it's up-building.
 As a Ievel-headed business man whose loyalty and interest in Pho'- mix has been recognized for several years Elmer Warren, the candidate from tine third ward would be a most fitting complement to business ad- ministration.
 The republicans of Phoenix urge the reelection of A. J. Moore to the office bL tllA .llieii 0iAeAi HUI he is a republican but because he has already discharged the duties of that office efficiently and conscientiously. because he has preserved order in Phoenix and enforced the laws. No stronger argument can be offered for the election of a candidate to this responsible office.
 For many years Frank Thomas Las filled the responsible office of city recorder with signal ability requiring varied qualifications of a high order
 This is to be said of Charles w. Barnett. the city assessor, whose of flee is essentially one in which it is most difficult to please. Mir. Barnett has so proved his fairness and eff ciency that even the democratic party for a time considered it useless to fill its ticket with a candidate against him.
