CAMPAIGN IF ASP|RANTS LAUNCHED
 IN! C|TY
Many Candidates for Various City Offices in the Field and Other Possibilities Are Ru- mored.
NEW ELEMENTS ENTER
 THE POLITICAL RING
What will the Women Do? Will the Bull Moose and the Republicans Be Togeth- CT? Some Predictions.

The city campaign has been launch ed It's every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost. That is, there are few party distinctions so early in the eity's bi-annual game of politics. There is a particular scarcity of can didates for the offices which mean all work and no pay. On the other hand there is an ample field of aspirants for. practically, every office that has any remuneration attached
 There are campaigns and campaigns but this springs performance promis- es to unearth many family skeletons. n-any obscure places, all that is good and, furthermore. a possible reconcili- ation of the Brotherhood of Standpat- fers and the Sisterhood of'the Valiant Moose. All of which does not mean to imply that there will be any more per sonalities indulged in than heretofore but, considering the many varied and perplexing clements, the affair has ev- cry indication of being the best billed, the greatest feature of Chaplingesa politics ever attempted in the City of Bisbee.
 In the first place, and that place which does not vary much from year to year, the number of candidates has neither decreased nor increased. It is fact. perhaps. that there is a tri- fle more activity among the candidates but the number is about stable.
 On the other hand. however. there are elements which will be encounter ed this year that will bear heavily up on the results and which will bear but little prognosticating. inasmuch as these clements are new and their ef- forts in political campaign are un- known factors.
 There's tle womeni
 As is true in art. literature, the sci ences and even in war, the women in politics constitute a new factor and though they voted at the last city election in Bisbee. yet their organiza- tions, their husbands, their sweet hearts and their indignations had not been utilized to the fullest extent, either by themselves or their friends. What will they do during the coming spring campaign to gum" the game, as cherished and played by the an cient and highly venered machine system2
 The women. some say. and particu- li~iy with reference to politics. have To rift o1 C ranization. Leave that for the host of platitudes sprung at star ohairber sessions of old time poli ticians. for the showing made in the general election. when the wet and dry issue was under consideration proved that either the women. or some people who understood the feminine mind. were extraordinary as organi- gers.
 II is not expected that any of the women's organizations in the city of Bishee will do any endorsing this spring. But, mark us, you candidates who may have decided opinions and who happen to be invited to attend some conferences given by the fair sex, go prepared to "come through" There will be no equivocation with the women. They want to know and the man who tells then the most, and not especially along the lines of hot air, will get most of their support
 It is anticipated that the women will go upon the one theory of law en- forcement. That they are little un- reasonable and demand more than is possible in this line may be conceded but they want to know why. They de- serve to know why, and the ambitious and self-preserving candidate will rack his brain and his encyclopedia for the correct answer 10 the problems. There are a few organizations. of women. al- ready making inquiries. They want to know and, strange as it may seem,
