-- From Tuesdays Dailyl
 The entire republican ticket has been filed and is unquestionably the strongest list of candidates ever nam ed by any party at any time. Its members are men of sterling worth and in every instance long time resi- dents of this locality. Voters in order to do justice to themselves are asked to compare the records and characters of the republican eandi- dates with view to selecting the best men for the management of the new state.
 The Journal-Miner prints few sketches of these men in today's issue and will continue to give it's readers short sketches of the eandi- dates from day to day. The repub- Iican party has every reason to feel proud of the men whom it has placed before the public as candidates for office and it is hoped that the voters will give the matter due eonsidera- tion and investigate the lives and qualifications of the men whose short biographies will be published from day to day.
 Supervisors.
 There IS no necessity to introduce I Barney Smith to the voters of the county. MT. Smith came here thirty years ago and insists that he intends 10 remain for the next thirty at least. Seven years ago he was elect ed to the board of supervisors and has been an industrious member of that body ever since. When he be ! came a member of the board the county taxes were $4 on the hundred | dollars valuation and Smith made the i boast that if honest, sincere work would do it he would cut that rate in half. His efforts have been re- warded and the taxes for Yavapai county are now s on the hundred and Barney Smith, perhaps more than any one man is to be given credit for this improvement. During the seven years of his ineumbency he has never missed a single meeting.

He is a native of Illinois and came to Arizona to engage in mining His work in the Bradshaws is best attested by the Crown King and the Grey Eagle mines. He has always been a firm believer in the hidden wealth of the territory and has been instrumental in bringing thousands and thousands of dollars here. He has been a member of the board foi the past four years having been nom mated and elected for the long tern without any solicitation or knowl edge on his part, in fact he was out of the county when elected.
