REPUBLICAN CITY TICKET Kor Mayor PIERCE EVANS. For Assessor and Tax Collector L. J. WOOD. For Marshal WM. WIDMER. For Treasurer I. M. CHRISTY. For Recorder T. A. JOBS. For Councilman First Ward JOHN DEXMS. For Councilman Third Ward FRANK J. PECK. COMPARE THE TICKETS. A comparison of the tickets is all The Republican asks. There should be no politics ia the approaching city election. It ia purely a question of men and it is for the voters to decide by comparing the tickets which of the men are the best. The Republican has considered the merits of the two candi dates for mayor and on the ground of qualifications alone has determined to support Pierce Eyans. If we consid ered Dr. Rosson a better man for the place we would support him. This election is too important for politics to be the slightest factor in determining who should be elected. Upon the re suit depends the whole future of Phoenix. The hands of the clock will be turned forward if Evans is elected, and they will be turned back ward if Rosson is made mayor. That is conceded by the supporters of the men. If Rosson is elected the city will Btand still for two years. If Evans is elected Phoenix will go ahead and en joy that prosperity for whieh the peo ple are waiting and praying. . Which shall it be? That is the ques tion. Will it be Evans and progrees, or Rosson and decay? Will the peo- pleelecta mayor pledged to public improvements and enterprise ,or one who is satisfied with the town as it is and who was nominated because he was known to be opposed to progress? Nature has blessed Phconix with every advantage climate, location natural resources. It is left with her citizens to say what use shall be made of these advantages. The cities of Den ver and Los Angeles never had the natural resources that Phoenix has to day, but these cities are large and pros perous because the people made them so. But neither Denver nor Los Angeles were more than villages until the mossbacks were relegated and en terprising men selected to hold the reins of government. Shall history repeat itself in Phoenix ? Shall' the mossback be scratched, no matter on which ticket his name ap pears, and his enterprising opponent be elected? Tax-payers will be benefitted by an increased value of theii property. Merchants will be benefitted by an in creaEe of business. Laborers and mechanics will be benefitted by con stant employment. . The whole people of the valley and even of the territory will be benefitted by the building of a new commercial metropolis. Pierce Evans is pledged if elected mayor to secure these results. His whole time will be devoted to en terprises and improvements that within five years will make Phoenix a city of 50,000 people. His qualifications, his past environments, his experience, h training and his stability of purpose are guarantees that these pledges will be redeemed. From even a selfish standpoint the merchant, the mechanic and the laborer must support Evans be cause of the immediate benefits to be re ceived. The real estate owner with an eye to business must certainly support Mr. Evans because the election of Evans means an advance in values as soon as the last ballot is counted and his election is a certainty. The first crisis in the history of Phoenix is at hand. AVe must forge ahead as the metropolis of the south west, and that at once, or Prescott will take advantage oE our delay and by energy and enterprise become the Den ver of Arizona with Phoenix the Pueblo. Even the men who dislike to spend a cent for the necessities of life cannot tail to see that money must now be ex pended or their whole fortune lost. The time for so-called conservatism has passed. If the opportunity is neg lected within the next year or two it will be gone forever. In this election the issue is clearly defined. It is Evans and an ad ministration of progress and enterprise on the one side, and on the other Ros son supported by those misguided in dividuals of the penny wise and pound foolish order, who, for fear of ex pense, are willing that other towns should spring up and Pbcenix take a back seat, so long as they are able to collect their rentals or their 3 per cent a month interest. Which shall it be, Rosson and decay or Evans and prosperity? Let the voters say. TO LABORING MEN.

THE HENRY DEALERS IN mechanics have been attracted to Phoe nix because of the belief that it was a growing town and that employment could easily be obtained. In this they were mistaken. There has been very little work for either the mechanic or the laborer, and as a consequence many deserving men have been troubled to make ends meet. It is now proposed by a large number of the citizens to inaugurate a new era in the affairs of the city. The time has come when a great many public im provements must be undertaken by the city government. But whether or not the wishes of these citizens will be respected depends upon the result of the city election on May 7. If Mr. Evans is elected mayor funds will be raised by bonds or otherwise and long needed public improve ments undertaken which will fur nish employment for all. If Mr. Rosson is elected no move towards pub lic improvements will be undertaken during the next two years, and those depending upon their labor for support of themselves and families will be com pelled to leave for a more enterprising and growing town. That is the situa tion in a nutshell. Tha election of Evans means work for the laborer and the mechanic and business for the mer chant ; while the election of Rosson will mean no work for either, less business for the merchant, and a period of stsg nation for the town. - Jerome Chronicle: Pierce Evans, a practitioner of law, has been nominated by the Republicans of Phoenix as their standard bearer for mayor. He de feated in the conven1 ion for the nom ination the present incumbent, J. D. Monihon. The editor of the Chronicle has known intimately, since boyhood days, Pierce Evans. We were school mates together and many times have we played hookey to go boat sailing. Mr. Evans was educated at the college school of Oakland, Cal which was afterwards merged into the State Uni versity. He is a graduate ot Harvard, and is fully competent to fill the posi tion of mayor, and though a Democrat previous to the administration of Cleve land, we would like to cast a vote for Pierce Evans. A news paragraph recites that during a heavy storm in Alliance, Ohio, last night millions of angle worms fell, making pavements so slippery that it was almost impossible to walk on them. Kow the question arises, has some de vout fishing party resolved to tell the truth and actually been taken to heaven, dropping their bait in transit? That may have occurred in Ohio, but no such fiahine party is ever met here abouts. The problem of the unemployed in Chicago bids fair to be greater -during the coming summer than it was last all kinds Mowers.: LOWEST PRICES. E. KEMP CO., HARDWARE. 4444 winter. The newly elected mayor dis charged fifteen hundred city employes in the "first eight hours of his official life, and presumably the most of them are incapable of self support. Prescott Journal Miner : Nearly every day witnesses a new mining eale now in this section.. In fact, they are com ing along so rapidly nowadays that it is difficult to keep ud with the procession. Carlson is elected mayor of San Diego every year regardless of party because he is the man the Deople want. Phoenix would do well to imitate Cali fornia enterprise. Pucsxix has not enough start to rest on her laurels. There is opportunity for a rival that would leave lis clfar in the shade. The election on May 7 will aetermine that. Pkof. JamesIUcNaughton. who is an applicant for the principalehip of the normal school, is highly er dorsed as a inau in every way qualified for the place. Ten years ago Los Angeles was not much larger than Phoenix is now. New blood and enterprise made the town and not the mossbacks. Hon. Thos. H. Brown, member of legislature from Yavapai county, who was so ill during the session, is im proving in health. The mossbacks of Phoenix will build up a rival city at the expense of the people here. Rosson is not the man for mayor. It is men with snap and energy that are needed now. The man who. stands in the way of the progress of Phoenix is a public enemv. i It was the enterprise displayed by the people that made Los Angeles and Denver. Sbe Had the Evidence. A novel piece of evidence was intro duced recently in a breach of promise case in Bavaria. The defendant ob stinately denied the charg-e, and stated that his accuser had nothing' to show to prove her statement. The latter, a buxom villag-e maiden, asked one dav to be permitted to bring- in her evi dence. The court granted her request and adjourned until ten o'clock the next day. At the appointed time she was on hand, and upon the query of the judg-e where her evidence was, she opened the door and four lumbermen broug-ht in a tree trunk, upon the bark of which her faithless adorer had in cised both their initials within a flam ing heart! She won her case. How to Truno Flowering Shrnbl. The proper system of pruning flow ering shrubs, according to the best of authority, is one that will induce an abundance of young wood, and this can only be accomplished by the trimming out of all two-year-old growth that which has already flowered cutting out the old shoots close to the ground, so that the new growth will push out from the root of the plant. If the bush makes too strong and rank a growth, a moderate amount of pruning in winter will not lessen the bloom to any extent, especially as -the extreme ends of the vounrr wood do not flower.
