Vote for in November, and Why You Should Vote

, is Planned.
The Republicans came together in
county convention Monday and nomi
nated oneof the cleanest and most
promising tickets ever nominated in
'Jlkc county. All past differences in the
party were laid to one side, and with
but one purpcse in view, selected a full
ticket without, the aid of a ballot, ex
cept in the case of supervisors.
'The meeting' wis called to order by
rChalrman Vercaiap, and George U.
Young of Williams was selected as
permanent, chairman, and C. O. Rob-
. lnson as secretary.

In the afternoon.
During the recess of the committee,
delegates went into a caucus for the
purpose of ascertaining the wishes of
the majority and 'o talk over the pros
pective campaign.
At ,3 o'clock the convention was again
called "to order by 1 Chairman Young,
and the reports of committees received.
The committee on credential) re
ported thirty delegates present, but
three or four being represented by
proxies. The thirty delegates were
seated as reportVd by the committee.
The report ofthe committee on reso
lutions and platform made an exceed
ingly short ,but trite report, in which
the national and territorial Republican
Administrations were endorsed, and
upon the question of the classification
of the country, resolved that the candi
dates nominated in this convention
would be olitdired to accent onlv such
saiaries as were provided for counties
working undir the territorial laws gov
erning counties of the third class or
In other wonts, were pledged to receive
the same salaries as were paid in the
past, regardless of the law which gave
them a' large inert aac owing to the in
creased tax receipts for this year.
This met with the hearty approval of
the entire convention and was unani
mously adopted. If
Upon accepting the reports of com
mittees, the chairnan announced that
nominations were'in order.
Hon. M. J. Rionlan, in a heat speech,
nomipated A. Ai '.Outton for member

Assembly John Hi Page
Sheriff Harry Henderson.
Recorder Harry C.Wlibben.
Treasurer Frank St'jlri.
Probate Judge A. E Douglass.

The only contest, and a friendly one
at that, was between J. C. Blake and
James Treat for supervisor, which re
sulted in a vote of 12 for Treat and 18
for Blake.
At the conclusion of the nomina
tions, on motion of Riordan, it was de
cided that all delegates of the conven
tion should constitute the central com
mittee, who should elect their chair
man, secretary and executive com
mittee. Mr. T. J. Coalter was elected chair
man and C. O. Robinson, secretary,
and Fred Smith, treasurer, with the
following executive committee: T. J.
Coalter, C. O. Robinson, B. H. Crow,

An executive session of the commit
tee was held in the evening at Hotel
Weatherford, when the plan of the
campaign was entered into.
The office of school superintendent
was not filled by the convention, for
the reason that they believed the office
should be conducted as heretofore in
connection with the office of probate
judge, and avoid the useless expendi
ture of money.
TUB TICKET.
Hon. A. A. Dutton, candidate for the
council, is generally recognized as a
man of exceptional ability, a worthy
Republican and a man who would ably
represent the northern portion of the
territory as well as Coconino county.
He has been a resident of Flagstaff
for years; is personally acquainted
with our people and their needs.
No man has a more honorable record,
better reputation, nor a more spotless
character. He is a candidate of the
people, and a man whom both Republi
cans and Democrats alike admire and
have full confidence. He is an earnest
worker and a man who will ever be on
hand, to prevent jobbery and do good
work for his constituents.
FOR THE ASSEMBLY.
Mr. John H. Page comes from a good
old New England family, whose name
has ever figured in the history of New
England, and is a hard-headed young
man, well educated, a hard and willing
worker in whatever position he may be
placed.
He is 'modest and retiring in public,
but is earnest of .purpose, vigorous i'n
his work when he knows he is'right,
and a young'man who will undoubtedly
make, his mark in ttie territorial legis
hfttJrl. ' ., ; -
J ..." fqr',shbhiff.
-Much-against his own inclination,
but after?muclrihsi&tenceon ifi'part
U. make, George
of his friends, as well as Republicans
in general, Harry Henderson accepted
the nomination for sheriff, receiving it
from the hands of the convention
unanimously. Mr. Henderson is of
sturdy Scotch descent, a man of splen
did ability, well educated, and a more
honest or upright man, true to his
friends and just to his enemies, if he
has any in the county, could not be
found in a search over the whole terri
tory with a fine-toothed comb.
He is not as well known as some, but
it comes from the fact that he attends
strictly to his own affairs at all times.
He is the kind of a man that can be
trusted in any -emergency to do his
duty and do it thoroughly regardless of
friend or foe.
FOR RECORDER.
Harry Hibben was nominated for re
corder. He will be elected every one
says so. It is a waste of time to say
anything good of him, for there are
few people in the county who couldn't
enlarge on it if you printed seven
columns of it; the people know him
and have known him for years. He has
been the best recorder the county ever
had; he has been right at his post of
duty day in and day out, and if any
one attempted to rob the county he was
there trying the scales at about 230,
ready to sit down on the whole pro
ceedings instanter. He will get about
all the votes in the county.
COUNTY TREASURER.
Frank J. 8tein,the unanimous nomi
nee of the convention for treasurer, is
a young man well fitted for the place
by years of mercantile experience, and
with a record for honesty that in itself
is a goodly appeal to the average voter.
Mr. Stein is well entitled to the vote
of the people for the place; he has
come up from the ranks by a continu
ous struggle from boyhood backed by
his true worth alone. His nomination
was not backed by any factional ele
ment of the party, but came from all
alike, who felt that his election would
be in the best interests of the whole
people.
PROIIATB JUDGE.
If there is one place more than an
other in the gift of the people where
good judgment and sterling honesty is
desired in the handling of the interests
of the widow and orphan, it is the
office of probate judge, and the selec
tion of A. E. Douglass for that place
was one of the happiest hits of the con
vention.
Mr. Douglas has been a resident of
Flagstaff for the past eight or ten
years; is a graduate of Harvard uni
versity, and a native of Massachusetts,
With all these advantages there isn't a
cow-puncher or a lumberman in the
whole section with whom he is ashamed
to rub shoulders. He is here because
he likes the people and the country,
and there is no question but those who
know him heartily reciprocate the liking.-
Many people will remember him
as the pleasant young man who gave
them a pleasant evening in explaining
the workings of the Lowell observa
tory, in which he has been the astron
omer for a number of years. He is the
kind of men it is an honor to have with
us, a man who has never been known
to forget a friend, and the better
known he becomes the higher he rises
in the esteem of the people.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
In Edward M. Doe, the convention
made no mistake in their nominee for
district attorney. Mr. Doe is a lawyer
with a reputation for his splendid
knowledge of law covering the whole
territory of Arizona. He has practiced
law for many years in Coconino county
and numbers his clients among all
classes of people. He is a natural
student, and his opinion is given
weight in every court. His integrity
and ability has never been questioned,
and the county in securing him as its
advocate In the many and intricate
cases now coming up in which thou
sands of dollars are involved will be
be fully and competently protected
against corporations as well as evil
doers. SUPERVISORS.
Mr. J. C. Blake, the nominee for
supervisor living in Flagstaff, has con
ducted a harness-making business for
a number of years past; has been a
stock raiser for years and is a pioneer
in the west. He is a man of fine busi
ness ability, conservative and always
found on the side of right. Mr. Blake
has a large acquaintance throughout
this section of the country who stand
solidly with him in the race for ttie
office, and not one of them will ever be
disappointed by any act of his. He Is
just the kind of a man the voter would
trust implicitly with his personal busi
ness, and consequently just the man
the people of the county will trust with
their affairs and Had that confidence
never misplaced.
Mr. George Wharton of Williams-is
a man with splendid qualifications and
a man who for years has bad charge of
the accounts of the Saginaw Lumber
Company at Williams, and has been
their confidential agent in all their
affairs. He has a wide business
acquaintance over the county, and no
more competent or popular man could
have been selected for this responsible
place in county government.
During the coming term of office
there will arise many important things
which should have the careful atten
tion of men of good business
acumen, honesty and good busi
ness sense. Knowing this, the Re
publicans have selected two men who
are thorough in their work and who
may be relied upon in any combination
of circumstances that may arise. The
thousands of dollars now coming iatb
the treasury will be disposed of safely
and in the interests of the taxpayers,
and every dollar of it creditably ac
counted for at the end of their terms.
In their own private interests the tax
payer can not afford to vote against
these men.
SURVEYOR.
For county surveyor, James A. Lam
port was nominated with a good will
by the Republicans. The emoluments
of the office are not great, but at the
same time much important work comes
to the county surveyor during the year,
which it is vitally necessary should be
handled by a competent man. Mr.
Lamport is thoroughly familiar with
nearly every part of Coconino county,
with nearly every survey and every
vexing question that has ever arisen
by reason of surveys, and is in a posi
tion to be of more service than a new
man, no matter how intelligent a new
man may be.
Mr. Lamport is an old resident of the
county and has always been loyal to
its interests from the time it was cre
ated. Nearly every one knows Jim
Lamport and the result in November
will prove his popularity.
