ated by the democratic party of this county, such renomination with knowledge of the facts, will be a ratification and cbndonatiOn and make the democratic party respon- sible for these practices.
 Opposes Nepotism
 The vice of Nepotism is defined: "The vice common among public men holding patronage, of appoint ing their own relatives to situations of emolument in disregard of the claims of others better fitted for the offices; favoritism towards ones relations"
 You see that Nepotism is desig- mated as a vice" 1t has also been made a crime in number states. It should be made a crime in Ari- Zona.
 The civil service rules of the Fed eral government prohibit the em- ployment of more than two persons OI lHe SdHie ldHllly III any piahSii oi the civil service.
 A late Federal statute prohibits interlocking directorates in certain financial institutions Nepotism is also prohibited by railroad com panies.
 Why should a relative of an of ficer be employed in his office or conveniently placed by his influence in another public office where such officer may be called upon to ap- prove the work of such relative, when disapproval might cost such relative his job?
 An outraged long suffering public does not charge corruption against any official, but does charge inefficiency and extravaganza on charge that Nepotism is practiced | to a shameful extent in the county | capital.
 The Tribe of Neri | In Maricopa county this practice | has gone to the limit. There is the | Osborn family, for instance (and able family in the world. Every | male member over twenty-One years of age is holding some kind of of flee. There is but one parallel to n1l of ct This parallel is found in the his tory of the tribe of Levi. Biblica history records that all the offices of the priesthood were specially set apart by Divine dispensation to thu tribe of Levi, but we fail to find any | authority, either sacred or profane whereby the offices of Maricop; county have been specially set apar to the tribe of Neri. It is a fact however. that about eight of tn names of this particular tribe ar' to be found upon our public pa. rolls
 The House of Peterson, ct al
 Then there is Supervisor Peter son, who has the court house file with his relatives and the count roads swarming. with consanguin eous road overseers. Supervise Luke is also in the game when comes to Nepotism, and he has bee busy for some time getting out
 second edition of Luke" Beside these there are many others. A Ii: of the kin folks in the county coul house reads like the 26th chapter
 Numbers (Go read it.)
 Judge Lyman Discussed
 Judge Lyman stands for this pal ticular thing and he added anotht
 Osborn to the pay roll as bailiff his court.
 Judge Lyman requires two bal
 ifs for his court at a monthly sa
 ary of about $100.OO each. One
 them is supposed to keep the do'
 shut in winter and open in sun
 mer The duties of the other a
 not thought to be so arduous (
 BailiffS are not even mentioned
 the laws of Arizona and accordir
 to them there ain't no such an
 mal" Article 2549 R. s. of Arizol
 provides "The sheriff in attendant : upon court must act as the cri thereof, call the parties and wi nesses, and all other persons boul l to appear at the court, and maj } proclamation at the opening al ? adjournment of the court, and l any other matter under it's dire 9 tion.'
 I Will Cut Expenses t If elected judge, 1 will at on 8 discharge from my court all baili1 S and require such services to be ps n formed by the sheriff and his de e uties, as demanded by the laws . this state and thereby save u c county several thousand dollars.
