POLITICAL LINEUP
 FOR CAMPAIGN
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

1O1tlCS TOT Dricl pcTlOQ or llllle yesterday held the center of the stage in Prescott, when the county central committees Of both the re publican and democratic parties held meetings in this city. The purpose of both meetings was the re-organ- ization of the county central com mittees for the ensuing year.
 The democrats had hot old time trying to decide whether the radi- calls or standpatters should control the organization. The republicans, on the contrary, had nothing to do but go ahead in the middle of the road and form an organization com posed of the best men available and start the political ball rolling along the paths of harmony and good will. Consequently, their meeting was harmonious throughout, and the men selected to carry on the com ing campaign represent no faction, but simply stand for a united re- publican party in Yavapai county which will make struggle to elect its candidates.
 THE REPUBLICAN MEETING.
 When the republican meeting was called to order it was found that in addition to the members of the central committee many of the prominent republicans of the coun- ty were present. It was an assem- blaze which seemed earnest, honest and determined to carry on cam paign in Yavapai this year which would rebound to the credit of the party, and when those present had finished giving. reports on political conditions in the various precincts marked interest and enthusiasm was manifest.
 Charles NJ. Raible, chairman of the county committee, in a few well chosen remarks, after calling the meeting to order, stated that its ob- ject was to fulfill the law by select ing a chairman, secretary and treas urer and executive committee, for the county central committee, and naming a state committee.
 Proceeding to carry out this pro gram, the following organization was harmoniously formed:
 Officers.
 Charles NJ. Raible, chairman.
 Joseph Calls, secretary-treasurer.
 Executive Committee
 Frank E. Smith, of Jerome; R. C. Lane, of Clarkdale; LeRoy Ander- son. H. C. Hoffelman and Charles Sauer, of Prescott.
 State Committee
 R. C. Lane, of Clarkdale; F. E. Smith, of Jerome; Mrs. Inez Me Donald. Charles Sauer and LeRoy Anderson, of Prescott; Eli s. Perk- ins, of Crown King; C. A. Ran dall of Congress. Charles Raible is member ex-oficio of this committee. The meeting adjourned with the best of feeling prevailing.
 STAND-PATTERS VICTORIOUS. The meeting of the Democratic county central committee was ting ed with tobasco and other kinds of caloric condiments In other words it was a hot meeting. The regulars, representing the stand-pat wing Of the party routed the radi- calls horse, foot and dragoon, and captured the organization with all the honors and emoluments attach ed thereto. John H. Robinson was selected as chairman and Joseph Il. Morgan as secretary and when 1t came to the choosing of the mem bers of the state central committee the stand-patters were again found in the saddle Five of their num- Der were successful on the first bal lot with a tie for three others, in cluding Senator Michael Cunniff. It took four ballots to decide the tic, Cuniff finally coming in under the wire with two votes to the good. This was the only instance where the radicals scored. If the meeting had been held later in the day a different tale might be related as on the afternoon mail there came four proxies which would have changed the complexion of things. Follow ing are the officers of the county committee and members of the state committee selected at the gathering:
