For Judge of the Superior Court of

For Judge OF the Superior Court OF
Mohave county the democratic party
have placed in nomination John A.
Ellis, now practicing at the Mohave
County bar. Mr.. Ellis is graduate of
Washington University, taking the
law course of that institution. He was
admitted to the bar and later came to
Arizona, teaching school in the south
part of the State and coming to Mohave
county three years ago. Here he en-
tered into the practice of his chosen
profession, in which he has been sue
cessful. He is one of the brightest ad-
vocates of the bar and is qualified in
every way for the position of Superior
Judge. And besides the necessary
judicial qualification he is one of the
most companionable of men, whole
souled and genial, honest and of the
strictest integrity. With him on the
bench litigants may be sure that they
will get fair and impartial treatment,
with the highest and lowest on the
same plane. Dependable in every way
and with sound Judgment John A. Ell
will make the people of Mohave county
an honest and capable judge.
Jack Lane has been nominated for
sheriff by his democratic constituents,
and he is about as sure of election as
we poor mortals can be of anything
here on earth. But nevertheless his
host of friends throughout the county
are looking to it that no over-confidence
may defeat the will of the people at the
primaries. Jack Lane came to this
county nearly twenty-five years ago
and has resided here the greater part
of that time. He was one of the first
miners in White Hills and also was in
every other camp in the county. Min
ing was the profession he followed and
among the boys of the pick and drill he
is held in the highest esteem. The
past four years he has been deputy
sheriff and has been one of the best
officers the county has ever had. He
is honest, conscientious, always faith
full to the law, and a booster for the
welfare of old Mohave. If elected he
will make a most capable officer and
one in whom everyone may place their
fullest confidence.
The democrats have a happy faculty
of selecting popular men for office in
Mohave county, but aside from their
popularity the party require of their
candidates efficiency in office as we'll
In selecting L. M. Teale to succeed
himself in the office of Clerk of the
Superior Court they have picked one of
the most popular and genial fellows to
be found within the borders of this old
county. Lon Teale has been Probate
Judge and Clerk of the Court and in
both Offices he has made good. And it
was for his ability, honesty and integ-
rity that the people again chose him to
make the race for the office on the
democratic ticket. Few men are better
qualified than he for the position or for
that matter for any other position
within the peoples gift.
Mohave county would hardly know it.
self without j. w. Morgan in the office
of Recorder. And when it comes to
honest efficiency it would be hard to
find a man that has it over Joe Morgan
in the whole State. Always genial,
obliging, with the business end of the
office at his fingers end he is a most
valuable man to the people of the
county, especially those people having
business with the records of that office.
One of the best compliments ever paid
to an officer was that paid to Mr.. Nor
gan by Miss Charlotte Hall, who on
going through the records of his Office
made the statement that in all the
records of the various counties of Ari-
zona she found none comparable with
the records kept by him. 1t will be re-
membered that Miss Hall was State
historian of Arizona, and herself one of
the most capable women in the whole
southwest. And her tribute to splen-
did officer will be the tribute of the
people next November.
Charles w. Herndon has been re-
nominated to the office of County At

party comes as a reward of faithful,
