CANDIDATE 0LNEY
 MAY VISIT BISBEE
Phoenix Man Opposes Hunt Plants to Visit the War
 ren District.

George Olney of Phoenix, who re- gently announced his candidacy on the democratic ticket for tie guber- material nomination in opposition to George w. P. Hunt, has written local friends that he will be in Bisbee and Douglas shortly to meet the people and look around in a political way. He is expected to arrive here about the latter part of this week.
 Mir Olnev has been a prominent figure in his party for a number of years and for months has been urged by the conservative wing of his party to become a candidate for governor. He is well known all over the state and has been in Bisbee on several occasions on business and pleasure trips.
 It is not known whether the demo- crats here will make arrangements for the candidate to speak while he is here. or whether he would consent to do so this early in the game. Neith- CT is the probable length of his stay mentioned although it is presumed that he will be here but a day or two.
