Bisbee daily review., 1913-07-27
cocHIsE COUNTY SHOULD HAVE SQUARE DEAL.

- It is not the habit of the Review to but, into the political game, so far as appointments to office are coH- eernej. but in this instance we shall not consider that any apology is due for a word from this paper which has ever been loyal to the democratic party and candidates of that party. The Review has watched closely since the election of Woodrow Will son and the campaign was started for federal appointments in Arizona for some statement as to what federal office, other than the local postofice, was to be give1 to a Cochise county democrat. No intimation or assurance has been encountered up to the pres eHt and the time is now drawing near for unhorsing the republicans who have been feeding at the federal trough even beyond their allotted time. We hear of candidates for this and that office being favored by senators, but none are from ''DeaI Old cochise." :" Joe billion. of Yavapai county, for marshal; SawteIle of Pima county, for judg9; Weedin of Piral and Birdno of Graham. have already been provided stin there is no intimation that the extended political cup of Cochise will te filled.
 Cochise county is by far the wealthiest county in the state; it is equal to any other in population po- liticaIly. no county in Arizona has Ieen more loyal and steadfast in up. holding the democratic party than Dear Old Cochise" Only once fin twenty years n90S) did it's foot slip, thus giving the republicans 8 majority It would seem that such prominent marka ctCworthiness would have. ere this. put one Of our loyal democrats into tue best choice of the federal of fees.
 Judge owen Murphy, now holdipl the office of counry recorder and mak ing admirable record for faithful anC efficient discharge of duty is an ap piicant for the ofhce of Collector o Customs at the port of Nogaies whei the time shall come for that othe Irishman. Con o'Keefe. to yield hi place to democrat Judge Murph. has several times tested his popular iy with Cocbise county democrat with the result that every time he ha been a candidate ne has received
 heavier majority than any other loes candidate on the ticket He has rel resented this county in the Iegislatur with credit to himself and to the satll faction of his constituents; he hs filled the ofice Of justice of the peac both in Bisbee and Lowell and haali was elected to his present office 5y
 most nattering majority He is a ma who never falters in duty. wheths it be in performing official tasks a signed him or whether he is soundin the bdgle cal and then leading th democrats into the trenches for a can psign battle.
 There should ks no hesitancy on tt part of Arizona senators about giyir their endorsement to Owen Murpl and securing for him the appointmei Of collector Of customs in Arizon Tn doing SO they would be proyidir square deal' for Cochise coun in the division Of political spoiIs al they would be putting a deservi man. into the position The act wou be eanost Plsasnlg se the democrats
 this county and we subnit that [ democrats of cochise county are ( titled to consideratiou in this .las t as we understand if Murphy fails tn there viii be no chance for sny ott
