PATRONAGE NEEDED
j. A. PHILLIPS,
Agent A. E. r. r.

The Stafford Company of Infantry,
Arizona National Guard, is now an
established fact. The company has
been organized to full number of
officers and men and the militia boys
are enthusiastic in their work of
becoming soldiers.
The State has leased Briefs Hall
to be used by the company as an
armory. Some changes in the ar
rangement of the hall to conform to
the needs Of the militiamen, such as
a quartermaster's room, lockers for
each mans equipment, office room,
etc, have now been accomplished
and the armory is now being used
by the militia as its headquarters.
Several other improvements are
to be made in the near future. one
of which will be to increase the
height of the stage to allow the
placing of special scenery carried by
show companies. This improvement
will be a new expense, but the
militia boys are confident that they
can accomplish it with the help of
our citizens.
The hall now having passed into
the hands of the militia, it will still
be used as Q theatre and dancing
hall. Good shows will be brought
here from time to time, and there
Is a possibility that a stock company
will play here the coming season.
AS a dance hall, the armory is
one Of the best in the State and

A TRUE DEMOCRAT
Pledges Himself, if
Elected, to Serve the In
terests of the People

George A. Oiney, candidate for
the nomination of governor on the
democratic ticket, was visitor in
the Warren District Thursday and
Friday of last week, greeting old
friends and making new ones.
While in Bisbee, Mr.. Olney was
interviewed by Review reporter,
who gave the following interesting
account of his meeting with the
peoples popular candidate:
There were, perhaps, two score
persons in the corridor of the hotel,
but the reporter had little difficulty
in identifying Mr.. Olney from de-
scription. The description in brief
was:
A man of medium height with
sandy mustache cut down to soup
eating proportions; blue eyes that
held an expression of intelligence,
determination and kindly regard for
every honest soul; a general aspect
Of trustworthiness and no outward
indication of caring two bits about
a gubernatoriaI nomination unless
convinced that he could render some
service far and above coddling any
personal ambition"
Such man was chatting with a
group of friends when the reporter
horned in.
Yes, I'm Olney," the distin-
guished Arizonan admitted. But
if you think | can tell you anything
about politics you've got the wrong
man"
Are you the Mr.. Olney who has
been mentioned as the democratic
nominee for governor" was asked.
Il am a democrat first, last and
always, but if the citizens of this
State should want me as governor |
would carry out my duties in the
interest of everyone.
There was perceptible snap of
the jaws when Mr.. Olney said this,
and a sort of steadiness in the eX
preston of the eyes, indicating that
Mr.. Olney meant just what he said.
y did not seek the presentation
of my name at the primaries.
Friends persuaded me. however,
that could perform a service to

ances from men in all stations of

There was real challenge in the |
tone which Mr.. OIney gave to his
last sentence. 1t was the sort of |
challenge which BODIED i'll for the
