grander aspects of memorable
occasions. Their recollections tell of

applause" which, as years 60 by, is
likely to grow more deafening. And,
likely as not, you and will assure our
grandchildren that women tainted from
emotion when William Faversham APP
peared for the first time in the role of
Herod; and that strong men wept when
Maude Adams played in "Chantecler."
Indeed, we shall probably believe as

But woe to us if we try to gid our
recollections for children whose memo

Hon. Ben M. Crawford
For Clerk

The announcement of Ben M.
Crawford for Clerk of the Supe-
rior Court of Greeplee county will
be received with pleasure by his
many friends. We do not attempt
to Introduce Mr.. Crawford to
our readers he has been here so
long that every body knows him,
unless it be a new conner.
He has fought the battles of
Democracy for years and, for the
love of his friends and Democra-
tic principles. In 1888 he left the
Sheriff's office of Graham county
and since that time has never
asked the people or his party for
office. Mr.. Crawford is the pre-
sent Commissioner of lmmigra-
tion having been appointed to
this office by the Board of Sup
ervisors last January upon the
organization Of the county.
Whether or not he is the nominee
he will be found working for the
ticket labeled Democrat. F"

w. O. Wheatley For Clerk

In this issue will be found the
announcement of w. 0. Wheat
ley, the present efficient Clerk
of the Board of Supervisors, for
the office of Clerk of the Superior
Court.
Mr.. Wheatley is young man
with family, consisting OF a
wife and two children, he is high
ly educated and his ambition is
to work his way into the legal
profession (Clerk of the Superior
Court being in direct line with
that ambition), for some years
past he has been in the Forestry
Service when last January, upon
the organization Of the new coun-
ty, he was appointed by the Board
of Supervisors to the important
office of Clerk this office he still
holds and we have never heard
of single neglect of duty in
his official capacity.
Mr.. Wheatley is a democrat
of the younger class but, is effici-
ent. careful and painstaking. He
has lived in Arizona nearly all
his life and, if he is not an 'old-
timer" it is because he was not
born way back in the 10Th cen
tury. If nominated he will beat
any Republican that can be pit
ted against him, if the nomina-
ton goes to some other he will
be found supporting the ticket,
whether w. @. Wheatley appears
on it or not.

Mr.. Waters is plain spoken

necessarily made local enemies
but, even his most bitter enemy

has kept the faith and his zeal
Gus work for the party merits a
nomination to this office and
there is hardly any doubt but
that he will be one Of the three
Republicans nominated. AS a
nominee he will poll his full party

In unity there is strength.
And, if Democrats do not hang
together they will hang separate

That is Democrats must ORGA-

would be a series of ovations and

hood. The attention Of the civil
lized world is turned in our direc-
ton, and our form of government
will be the model for all states
where popular government is per-
missible.
The people of the state are not
interested in the history Of the
past, but it is the living questions
of today which are to be consi-
