Who VIII be the Men.

Next Tuesday will tell the tale to all
the candidates who are to be the stan
dard bearers and who will be elimi-
mated from the race for the big De-
cember fight in this territory and
county. Among the men that appear
to be foremost in the senatorial fight
are Mark A. Smith and Reese NJ.
Ling, one from the south and the
other from the north. To obtain the
division of senators it behooves the
people of the north to concentrate on
one candidate, as the south may get
away with both men, their voting
strength being so much superior to
that of the north. Smith Is sure to
get big vote here and as Ling is so
well known in this county he is sure to
run close with Smith.
Weedin looks like winner for the
governorship, as he is taking well
among all classes. The fight on Hunt
by the anti-progressives may bring
him many votes. but Weedin has a
personal following that cannot be
drawn away.
There are but two senatorial candi-
dates in the field on the republican
side and two for governor. George ..
Young and Judge Wells are contest
ing the governorship, but it appears
that Wells has the better of the argu-
ment.
For congress the democrats have
three men, Hayden, Cobb, and Win
sor. To US it looks like Hayden, who
is very popular in the south part of
the territory and in Yavapai county
The republicans have but one candi-
date for the position, John s.
Williams, the able district attorney of
Cohise.
The democrates have FIVE candidates
for Supreme Judges, Cunningham.
Franklin, Pateee, Ross and Rouse.
The three most acceptable men are
Judge Rouse, of Tucson, Sam Pattee,
of Tucson, and Henry d. Ross, of
Prescott. They are all able, honest
and honorable men. For the same
Offices the republicans have Judges
Kent, of Phenix, Judge Doe, of Flag
staff, and Judge Doan, of Tombstone
These men are now occupying the SUI
preme bench of the territory and are
among the foremost jurIsts of the ter
ritory.
Johnny Robinson, of Prescott, and
Sidney Osborn of Phenix are the
candidates before the democrats for
Secretary of State. Johnny Robinson
should get every democratic vote in
Mohaye county, as should J. Fred
Cleveland that of the republicans for
the same Office. We have known both
men many years and must say that
they are splendid fellows.
Of the other candidates on the state
tickets we are unacqusinted, with ex-
ception of George Mauk, republican
candidate for auditor. George is an
excellent fellow.
For corporation commissioners each
party may make easy choice, as the
men are all well qualified for the posit-
ion.
The MINER does not have to review
the candidates that are before the PEG.
pie for their suffrage for county offices.
Each and every one is so well known
that it would be out of place to pre-
sent their especial qualification for
office to which they aspire. To our
mind the one very important office to
be filled by the voters, and to which
candidates are to be selected next
Tuesday, is that of supervisor. Dur
ing the next year or two this county
will be coming out of its swaddl;pg
clothes and taking on the airs of a
first class county. 1t is necessary that
the men that have full and complete
charge of county affairs should be
thoroughly qualified. That many of
the men in the field have the necess-
