ASHLEY WILL RACE FOR
THE OFFICE OF JUSTICE
Morenci Citizen Definitely Announces
that He Will Enter Race for Office
of Justice of the Peace-Other Mat
tiers Political.

w. o. Ashley, for number of
years resident of Morenci, where
he is now employed as chief of the
mems furnishing department of the
Phelps, Dodge store, announces hiatt
he will surely enter the race for the
nomination, at the primaries, for the
office of the justice of the peace.
The announcement of Ashley is max
ing more interesting still things poll
tical in Morenci, and the coming days
are expected to increase this condition.
With the avowed determination of
Judge ]. M. Lally to succeed himself,
and with the entrance into the gen.
eral elections of some one Morenci
citizen of republican persuasion, the
question as to who shall for the COM
ing two years interpret law for Mo
rencPs people is becoming one of the
most eager topics of the citizenship.
f, Not only concerning Morenci's own
offices, but regarding all the elective
offices of the county, is political Cos
sip becoming active.
Morenci seems determined to be
more fully represented at the county
court house upon the next installation
of men to occupy the seats of repre-
sentation at the county's seat. There
is whispered information that in the
past the mining town has perhaps too
yl0100o pOl1IlC1l "
the citizens of the other communities
of the county, and that the coming
election shall see a return of favors
so often extended. The offices of SUI
pervisor, with other offices of the
county, now see outlined for them
some of the most substantial men of
the camp, and that a portion at least
of these men will offer their services
is now a certainty.
Among the men who are mentioned
by their friends as fully competent
to serve in capacities political both
at home and at Clifton are Thos. H.
Clark, D. M. Cansler, A. L. Grave1y,
w. c.. Crawford, besides many others.
While Mr.. Cansler states that he
will not offer his services for any
public office, yet many of his friends
express themselves as glad to see
him in public position. There is
no doubt that many of the citizens
would we'll serve their
various parties and citizenship in the
various offices.
