CITIZENS oPihioN
oF STOPPING WORK

A Prospector reporter on his rounds recently interviewed well known citizen. who prefers not to have his name mentioned in refer enee to the stopping of the road work on the Tombstone Bisbee road Our informant said in substance:
 That excellent work has been done under the supervision of En- gineer Ryan may be seen by any one who has eyes.
 There is more behind the shut down than objection to Mir. Ryan. The county seat Is a pawn which has been traded by every politician. gumshoe and other sort who has entered Cochise county in the past twenty years.
 Tt will be remembered that Ralph Cameron was elected to Congress largely by Cochise votes. In order to hold the advantage the republi- cans. when our enabling act was framed. provided that only those were entitled to vote at the next ensulns election. who had voted when the republican delegate was elected. Mir Cameron in his cam paign following the passage of the enabling act. was led to believe that he could hold his Cochise ma jority by helping the two big pre- cincts, Douglas and Bisbee. in their county seat aspiration He. therefore. introduced into Congress. and pressed a bill having for its ob- ject the change Of the location of the county seat of Cochise county By promp: and effective work this scheme was blocked and Camervr lost out.
 Governor Hunt is in bad in Co., chise county owing 10 his Bolsheviki affiliations and sympathies. Since the Bisbee deportations. the antipa- thies are deep-seated and of large proportions. A democratic candi- date can hardly spare Cochise county. and hope to win. Colter. Hunts ia vorite in the coming gubernatorial race. has just been in Douglas, and the Douglas bunch have convinced him, and through him, Hunt. that the way for the Hunt faction to come back" in Cochise county. is to help Douglas in their county seat ambitions. Nothing will help the Douglas propaganda quite so much now as to prevent the completion of the few miles of road necessary to give the county seat the best of road connections with Bisbee and other parts of the county. Supervisor Sparks has been in favor of shut ting down road work on the line mentioned. for some time Although he is to sit as ore of the judges. if a county seat petition is presented 10 the board of supervisors he is acting on a committee advocating Douglas interests A fine prepara- tion, this, for a judge
 ''But I am digressing. The upshot of it all is that in order 10 obtain Douglas votes. the scheme is to knock Tombstone by depriying her of the rosd which would silence most of the cavi!iers about the county seat.
 T do not believe that such Prus- sian methods will meet with much favor with the plain citizen"

other candidate was beaten bad in the
city of Denver. Mr.. Shoup carried
Mesa county and Ell Paso county. the
Mr.. Shoup is heavily interested; the
latter is his home county While these
two counties are not the only ones he
carried, yet it demonstrates how well
he stands where he is well known. Mr..
Shoup will make a strong candidate
for governor.
The Democrats repudiated the acts
of the present incumbent in the CUB
ernational chair and Overwhelmingly
nominated Tom lyman. Mr. Gunter
ran behind almost everywhere, even
| to Delta county. The Democratic
campaign was one that stands plainly
evident and the methods used by both
managers of lyman and Gunter were
not of the highest personal kind. The
Denver Post in their support of Ty-
mans candidacy and the denunciation
OF Governor Gunter was of the deepest
mock-raking character.
Lawrence C. Phipps was the Repub-
lican choice for United States senator.
He defeated Charles W. Waterman
nearly two to one.

yet it looks. from the best informa-
