GEO. $. EATEN FOR
 JUSTICE OF PEACE
Williams. Precinct

Geo. 8. Patten, the democratic nominee for Justice of the Peace of Williams Precinct, was born, reared and educated in the State of New York. At an early age he had desire to see some of the world and came to Michigan after which he came to Williams when the town was but a Ewhistling post'' on the Santa Fe Railroad, and is known as one of the "old timers'' of this section. He has been identified with different in terests here but has always had time to take very active part in politics, and has always been staunch and loyal democrat. He has never asked for much in the way of political offices, but at the last general election he was offered the position of Deputy Sheriff un- der Thos. Pulliam, position which he accepted and filled with credit to himself and MT. Pulliam.
 George, as he is familiarly known among his friends, owes no man a dollar and is not obligated to any person or interest in any way, and if elected he will maintain an office and have regular office hours. His motto is: Equal Justice to all, and all who know George, know that he will discharge the duties of the office without fear or favor to any person or interest. He is admir- ably fitted for the position both by education and temperament and i will devote his whole time to the duties of the office While the
 office of Justice of the Peace is not a political office, the democrats owe it to him in recognition for the many years honest service he has devoted to the party.

 The office of Justice is a very important one, requires a man of keen judgment, and a man who has seen the practical side of life and the distributing of justice to one and all as guaranteed to us by our State and National Constitution; many of us are unfortunate by break ing Law and Order in many minor ways and very often are before the Justice for the first time, consider ation is all one asks.

He was sent as delegate from Arizona to the Democratic National Convention. which convened in Chicago in 1896 when the Dem- ocrats nominated that illustrious stateman and leader, William Jennings Bryan, for President. Mir Campbell has been identified the Democratic Party ever since he has been old enough to vote He is man of wide business experience
 and well acquainted with the needs
 of the people of Arizona. Having lived in Coconino County for about thirty two years, he has become identified with the interests of all the people.
 He is in every way and manner fitted for the position of State Senator and no man in Arizona will do more for the general up building of the State than he. If elected, he will serve with honor to himself and his constit- uents. Send Hugh Campbell to the State Senate and the interests not only of Coconino County, but of the entire State of Arizona will i be looked after with conscientious

 He is honest, industrious, careful business to the hilt and has the

 MT. Acker paid all his own ex- penses in this fight, not calling upon the county to reimburse him for a single cent spent in his long and arduous fight for justice and right. Subsequently, during term of Congress, Arizona suf- fered a mental lapse and elected a republican to Congress in place of Mark Smith. During the incumbency of this republican a bill was introduced in Congress and passed which validated these bonds, and today Coconino is paying interest upon $158, eco of the same, for which she received no benefit whatever.
 Boss Acker was born in Mich igan, and many years after com ing to Arizona met and married a Michigan lady. Mrs Acker was formerly a school teacher, and is a bright, brilliant woman who takes prominent part in all social and educational work.
 It is, therefore, a safe predic- ton that, if the voters of Coco nino county are wise enough to elect MT. Acker Treasurer, with Mrs Acker as his Assistant, there will be few, if any, mistakes in the three R's in the records of the Treasurer's office.

 Born in San Antonio, Texas, in 1863, " Tom" Brown for that is the name by which he is best known and which he himself, best likes has lived all his life in the Vest, He is, therefore, well acquainted with it's people, their likes and dislikes, and their hopes and ambitions. He has resided in Arizona for the past thirteen years engaged in the cattle, sheep and horse business, and, as has been said, has made a success of all his undertakings. Tom" Brown never held an office; never asked for one, and would not now be candidate had not his friends, knowing and appreciat- ing his worth insisted upon nom- mating him at the recent primary.
 MT. Brown is the only candidate nominated by either party at the recent primary for the office of Supervisor who resides in the Western end of Coconino county.
 This portion of the county pays about 45 per cent of the total taxes of the county, and is there fore justly entitled to represent ative in the management of the county's affairs, which in the person.of Tom" Brown it will, from all indications, undoubtedly obtain.

In writing up the candidates fer
 the various County Offices on the
 Democratic ticket, we can not pass
 that sterling young democrat, Geo. A. Fleming, City Clerk of Flagstaff who is not candidate on the ticket, but was elt cted as one of the Democratic County Precinct Committeeman at the Primary Election. The Central Committee
 recognizing the ability and strength
 of Geo. Fleming unanimously elect
 ed him as Secretary and that they made wise choice, goes without saying.
 George, as he is fami iarly called,
 was born in South Carolina after
 the Civil War and was educated in
 that State but being ambitious and desiring to see what the, other part,
 of the world was like came to Ariz-
 ona and cast his fortunes with the

 humorously told of George that
 when he stepped from the train on his arrival at Flagstaff that he
 began shaking hands and talking politics before he turned his suit 
 case over to the Hotel porter, and there haF never been any obstacle found since that Would stop him up to the date of the present writing. George is making one of the best secretaries the party has ever had. We can frequently hear such re- marks as: "Hey Bill, I'll tell you the democrats have sure got live man for secretary, look here what 1 he has written me-" George is and has been for some time de- voted disciple of Blackstone and will soon be an applicant for ad- mission to the bar and we predict for him success in the practice of law as well as higher bonors in politics.

"Your committees greatest work

TSO Al OHNlNN0 DAMN 81 = Em
NOT A SUCCESS
BY Gibson Gardner.
Washington, Jan. 1o.-The postal
savings bank system has not been
success. The reason is not the fail
ure of people to put money into it,
but the fact that the law creating the
system imposed unreasonable limi-
tations on the amounts which can be
deposited. This was done at the in
stigation of private banks which fear
ed government competition. Now
the bankers themselves see their mis-
take, and would like to have the
money of the humble hoarder-
brought out in larger sums and put
into channels of trade, by means of
the postal savings bank. The law pro-
vides that no depositor may deposit
more than 500 in any given month,
and no deposit may run higher than
$500.
In order to organize and operate
postal savings bank system, the gov
eminent has expended during the
past year $1,4S6, 900. Against this,
the government received in interest
from banks selected as postal savings
depositaries only $537, 1892. The gov
eminent therefore lost nearly mil
lion dollars.
Illustrating the changed attitude of
the big bankers, the National City
Bank of New York-the largest sin
gle bank in the country issued
statement after the new system had
been in operation six months, in
which it admits that the postoffice
banks are bringing out boarded
money which is proving an addition
al resource for the big banks, and adj
hitting frankly that banking inter-
ests made mistake in opposing the
law.
The extent to which the bankers
carried their opposition is shown by
