THE STAND BISBEE WILL TAKE TO PROTECT
 ITS INTERESTS ON COUNTY SAET REMOVAL

The following Is the sentiment of the Warren District on County Seat Removal and explains what Bisbee will do in the present removal fight promu- gated by Douglas interests It is the only Bis bee could take, and explains fully it's stand on the natter
 "A year ago last spring Douglas started move inert to change the location of the county seat under the county seat removal law of our state statute committee from Douglas came to Bisbee to confer with the Warren District Commercial Club asking operation to the county seat for the Shelter City. Under the very unsettled conditions the War District Club did not consider the time opportune for the removal of the county seat for the agitation of the matter and discouraged the project best it could. However, committee was named and was partially successful in securing site for this district order that it might not be caught wholly asleep. The matter then temporarily dropped as far as Risbee concerned.
 Douglas in the meantime disregarded Bisbee's admonitons that the time is nopportune went ahead issued and secured signatures for petitions to bring the question up at the election and carried out com pete program and campaign agtatng the county seat removal throughout the county It is understood they have three sites selected for submission and there is
 feeling about the county that unless the Warren Dis trict acts, Douglas will possibly secure the county seat Indications of today that the county seat will be removed through the activity of Douglas. The Warren District has better chance to get it than Douglas.
 We have been forced into the fight but through fairness o the people of the northern part of the coun ty and of this district the Commercial Club has de- cided that the voters shall have opportunity of designating this district of the proposed sites and of voting this districts proposed site. We wish it to be known that the Warren District Club would not have taken hand in the matter had it not been forced to do so and that that have taken interest in the matter it is in the interest of the people of this district to assure them opportunity of expressing themselves the location of the county seat and county buildings. The Warren Dis trct has not antagonized the northern part of the county in this fight and because of this attitude will secure much support from these voting precincts.
 ''The Warren District Commercial Club acting in cooperation with the mayor and city council, has called meeting of the citizens of this district to be held next Friday evening at the City Park at o'clock for the purpose of perfecting organization, to ar range committees to the necessary signatures petitions to acguaint the citizens of the district with the proposition and to discuss the possible sites in the district at Warren, Lowell and Bisbee. In be- half of the Warren District Commercial Club and in behalf of the mayor and council every citizen of the district interested in the welfare and progress of the Warren District is urged to attend the meeting We will have on hand speaker to explain the present status of the matter and will arrange for general dis cussion in which everyone may have his or her part
