CITIZEN nILL oF RlseEE

The voice of Citizen Bill Cleary-than whom there is none more adept as an entertaningly sancrosanet soapbox exhorter-is again heard in the land. Some may think u is all right to speak Citizen Bill hippant y but others-and they are the wise ones-know that Citizen Bill has a weldehned mission to fulfill True u is well to leave the dehnton of the mission Citizen Bnr himself and the secret of whispered into his own ear exclusively but folks who him concede the point eagerly that he shall be taken his valua- tions
 Were it not for Citizen Bill this would have been dull primary campaign indeed in the Warren District Dr. Hughes came town and received courteously but unenthusiastcay is rumored that Reese M Ling has been visitor Other political asprants have and gone without leaving impressions that could be called indelible But Citizen Bill holds forth single night the open titivat- ingly dynamic
 Citizen Bnrs chief charm is that he keeps everyone guessing to indulge in superficial political pastmes. It would be a shame him dvulge where he is really at Such condolences would take away en, trely his assured position a charming the political gaety Arizona. Until he preempted pat ent medicine precincts Thursday night, Bisbee could have walked the political getting it's feet sluggish it was. But when Citizen Bill poured forth his floods of gosslpy political garruy op. portunity afforded all to lave themselves knee deep.
 It is mistake to have denied the right of free speech in the Citizen Bill The ordinance may well have been directed against others less ingenious and more malicious than he. No man justly can say he has suffered materially at the tongue of Citizen Bill His bnstlng words like the crack of the ringmas ter's whip-an for pleasing effect And Citizen Bill mark you fattens on effects selfcreated
 It is to the advantage of any and every candidate for public office to receive attention from Citizen Bill He makes em all by arousing otherwise dor mant interests. Upon some he pours the vinegar oi simulated wrath and upon others the sweetness Of his appreciation but in all cases the recipient is the gainei because the audience plays the Ceary "hunch" either with English lets Ter ride" Citizen Bill fl. consistently inconsistent when everyone expected that he would life his voice in harmonious duet with Reese Ling, he let discord of surpassing raucous ness Just when the crowd was ready to harken to s verbal assault Mark Smith Citizen Bill induiged IT encomiums of the senior Senator
 As political plunger Citizen Bill scatters his chips with amazing prodgaty If the position of a chip doe not suit him while the wheel is spinning he will chang, it without much saying, "by your leave" Every body excuses anything in Citizen Bill l.e is the little household joy of Bsbee We hold it an honor to cIan him as our very own We codde and protect him as th hapless oyechld of old Political Ambition and errin Political Whimsicality He is never otherwise than nic in his political chase and he possesses that prceies ability to pass his ebuance along to the man in thu street 1T there were more Citizen Bills in Arizona thu fame of State would be augmented It might b. that Arizona would be called vascating if not actuail insncere but more luminous colors would mark he position the map and what would it matter if Uncl sam did wrinkle his nose and ask "Is that sulphur tha smeu?"
