(From Fridays Daily)

was only one COntcSt-Detween M1dg- 1 ley, Smith and Rees for the two nom-
 nations of supervisor-two men were
 nominated by the writing in by the voters of their names, Neil C. Clark for county attorney and Ed. F. Bow.
 CTS for the office of recorder.
 Evidently the Republican voters | felt they had as good. if not better
 material for these offices than the | Democrats were offering to the peo- | pie. Although neither man was even
 tentative candidate their availabil-
 ity had been discussed by many and i the large, spontaneous vote accorded them, speaks in no uncertain way concerning their standing in their party
 Mr. Clark is a rising young at
 torney who would ably fill the office of prosecuting attorney. He is a graduate of the law school of North western University and for the past five years has been associated with his father. Hon. E. s. Clark, in the practice of law in this city. When F. ]. Mitchell. now Captain Mitchell of the U. s. Army in France, was elect ed county attorney, two years ago he selected young Clark as his deputy, the latter capably and efficiently per forming the duties assigned him. For several months Clark was in reality the head of the county attorneys of- flee while Attorney Mitchell was at the Presidio in an officers training camp and until Mitchell handed his resignation to the supervisors late last year. Clark has already demon stratcd to the satisfaction of the peo- ple Of Yavapai county that he IS un- swcrving in the performance of duty and that he knows neither friend nor foe in the prosecution Of offenders against the law. That he will be elected was the prediction generally made yesterday when 1t became known that he had consented to ac- ccpt the unsolicited nomination ten> dercd him in the primary.
 Ed F. Bowers, the next recorder of the county numbers his friends by the hundreds all over Yavapai. For several years he was connected with the Bashford- Burmister Company in a responsible capacity and during that time formed wide acquaintance. which he has since supplemented while in the life insurance business. Mir. Bowers leaves today for the east as a delegate to the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, but upon his return in two weeks. will take off his coat and get into the fight in deadly earnest. During his absence his absence his friends and supporters ih both parties will see that his name is placed before the voters.
 The Republican party. although itI will not put full ticket in the county field. justly has reason to feel proud Of the men who are running for or flee under its banner. Each and every one of them is competent, capable and efficient and their election will mean the kind of service the taxpay- CTS are entitled to, and not the kind they are promised and usually do not get.
 C. F. Gentry, the unanimous nom inee for assessor has no Democratic opposition, it being universally recog- nized that no man could be brought out who would come within running distance of defeating him. The ordi- nary man cannot fill the assessors office, it taking years of service and study to qualify for such a position. and knowing that Gentry possesses such qualifications in marked de- gree, office-seekers take look at his iob and then decide that discretion being the better part of valor, they will pass it by.
 C. P. Mullen, better known as Charley Mullen, is the Republican candidate for the State senate, the only G. O. F. legislative aspirant at the present time. although there may be more later. One of the representa- tive stock1nen of the county and State and president of the cattlegrowers' association, a large property owner and taxpayer. and a man having the interests of Yavapai at heart, he will make a worthy successor to N. II. | Getchell, who is not in the race again on account of illness. Square and above-board in all his dealings, Null '! len is the kind of man people like to lie 10 dnU III NhOiil lhOS hdNN NCiiAi | dence.
 For supervisors the party has nom- mated two good men, Colonel Midg~ ! ley of Cornville in the Verde Valley, and A. L. Smith, of Prescott. They are men of affairs and would handle | county business in the same manner they handle their own. Their election would certainly not prove to be a 
 In Prescott precinct w. NJ. Poul- son has been nominated for justice Of the peace to try conclusions with C. H. McLane, the Democratic nominee.
 Last but not least of the Republican | selections of good material IS War ren Davis of Mayer. nominee for sheriff. Quiet and unassuming, but of forceful personality he is highly by everyone who knows him It is conceded that his chances of election are remarkably bright. DAMAGE CASE IS
