THOS. R. GREER CLOSES THE
 co. ATTORNEY ARGUMENT

For several issues the different can didates have advertised their qualifca- tions for the office of county attorney and their claims have gone forth in large type and glowing language. Now it is our turn. sss
 Residence.
 One of the candidates asks the vot- CTS to support him because he is an "early resident"-"a pioneer" Thos. R. Greer has lived in Navajo county and northern Arizona longer than all of his three opponents put together.
 Service.
 The paramount question before the voters upon the county attorneys race is SERVICE. One candidate may promise economy; another, efficiency; again another, harmony (whatever that may mean); another, thorough equalization of taxes. Prediction promises are easily broken but the promises made by our candidate last election that he would treat rich and poor alike, that he would keep an of flee in the court house even if he was thereby removed from the business part of town, that he would stand for economy, and that he would be on the job, have been kept. Thos. R. Greer runs on the same platform again with l emphasis on the question of service. If elected he will give his entire time to the county if such is necessary Will any of the other candidates give up their profitable civil business if | elected? Ask them.
 Economy.
 Much can be said on this question, but our candidate has attempted to try cases at the place of origin instead of transporting them to Holbrook at great expense. The justices of the peace of the different precincts know the difference since he has been coun- ty attorney. They have only to call him up on the telephone and he comes on the next train or on the next stage.
 Since the election of our candidate the county jail has been vacant the greater part of the time. Cases have been promptly disposed of in record breaking time. When the present in cumbent needed help, he has employed local attorneys to assist him. In two recent murder cases, of a difficult na- ture, he sent for an attorney that he Knew ana pa1d the expense hlmSelf. The days of lot of high-priced coun- sel, either local or foreign, fattening at county expense, has passed during the time that our candidate holds of flee.
 Although the law allows it, he has refused to employ deputy, even when it would have made his reelection i sure, and if he is reelected there will be no deputy attorney unless the bus mess grows so large that he can not handle it alone. A close reading of this paragraph will explain much. Un- | der the heading of economy you can possibly understand why certain in terests are furthering the candidacy of Sapp, Ferguson and Larson.
 Qualifications.
 Thos. R. Greer is young man, abounding in energy, of great intel lectual experience, fluent and con- vincing speaker, and he is right in the harness and ready for work Our can didate is the only man in the list that can speak the Spanish language and this is very important when you con- slider that most of our criminal cases must be conducted through an inter-

ruled that all employees in the postal

automatically retired or separated
from the service. Congress wrote nj
to the new law that if such men de-
sire to remain in service and their

on the pay roll. Burleson would pre-
cipitately fire everyone who has reach

At length Mr.. Hofheimer went into
the whole subject Of assigned cars,
which he rightly said was not a new
system in the Fadrmont region. He de-
scribed at length the three classes Of
coal cars placed-those for private
use. railroad fuel and foreign railroad
fuel and their uses. Judge Dayton
