OLIVER i ' Those who 'prate that Smith will oarry Bisbee had better remember that Col. Brodle had a majority in this camp last eleotlon. Judge Bradley Is one of the sure winners. He has made a magnificent record as probate judge, and the voters believe in letting well enough alone. Warner and Woods are a Bisbee legislative team that will Becure almost a unanimous vote In Bisbee. xney are men of the people, and the people .know they can be trusted to any ex tent. The Spenazuma Mlnlng.Co. defended on the rostrum yesterday by Smith is a company that advertised "a gold ledge half a mile wide, running 81,000 to the; ton." Mark's inference Is that It Is good to. "skin the tenderfoot." Mark Smith took a retainer from the relatives of Chris. Robinson and then failed to attend the second trial of Sid Page, Robinson's murderer. Yet Smith is the individual who celebrates his own high and lofty motives, ana has been known to aver he would soon r smite off his right band than do unrighteous act. an x It Is a fact, readily to be proven, that stand to talk for the ticket. It was District Attorney Land has attended nothing short of an insult to the Intel the examination of only one felony case llgence of Bisbee' tried In Bisbee during his term, though he has been called by a local justice more than a score of times. Bisbee Is too far from Tombstone to suit Mr. Land. . George Swain promises to at tend avarv examination to which he may be called by a Bisbee justice of the peace. Voters, it is prooaDie that Mark Smith has failed to make himself elig ble for the office he seeks. When the Prescott Courier (Democratic) made assertion that Smith was really a citi zen of Los Angeles, possibly it was right. For from Tucson, the scene of Mark's supposed residence, comes au thoritative Information, publicly print ed and not denied, that the name of Mark Smith does not appear upon the Great Register of Pima county. The Jaw of Arlwsa is that, to be eligible ( " VI r . ftl m , nm' .iM.i'M for office, the candidate must be a citi zen, a resident of the election precinct and a qualified voter. As briefly put by a Cochise county lawyer: "To bo a candidate a man must be a voter, and to be a voter his name must appear on the Great Register of the county whnmin hfi claims residence." Is it possible that Mark did not care to do- nate szou to tne county scuuui iuu u Pima countv? May be he was afraid County School Superintendent John Hughes would get away with the money. Andagain, is it possible he hadn't the" qualifications for registra tion? Whatever the cauee and what ever the effect, he was contemptuous enough of Arizona's laws and customs to fall to register, as a voter. Did you contrast the difference in the speeches of Governor Murphy and Mark Smith? Did you note the former "talked from the shoulder"? That he said what he had to say in a manner that left no doubt of its truthfulness and accuracy? And did you note that 'whatever was said by Marcus Aurelius was "orated"? delivered with studied pasture and carefully modulated voice acted, in fact? That's the difference in the men. One is a genteman and his language corresponds; the other seeks election only by. abuse of his op ponent and by insinuations that dis grace only himself. Yesterday after noon and evening Smith stooped so low as to insinuate that Murphy was bribed to issue that circular warning investors against wildcat mining companies. Tombstone, where Smith lived most of the time he has been in Arizona, is conceded to Murphy by a majority that will mean about three votes to him to one for Smith. Not much of an en dorsement for the tearful Marcus, Is it? Yavapai county, Oakes Murphy's form er home, (and as well the home of the famous railway bonds) has been con ceded by the Democrats to Murphy by, a majority that will mean the revers al of 700 votes since the last election. That's the difference between thetwono crow." men. ' The men who rigged up that efflgy of Governor Murphy thus-wrote them selves down as brothers to the ass that bore it. They are probably the same individuals who hired the small boys to interrupt the republican meetings held ln Bisbee. The two actions are on a par. The populace generally is very prone to hold the head of the ticket re sponsible for such actions, however " asinine and impolitic, and the head of the ticket will suffer accordingly. 0ne o the hits of the campaign was tbe warning of A. V. Noyes, republl- 0fm caaaidate for supervisor, delivered Friday night In Bisbee: "This county has elected too many 'good fellows' to office. That Is the reason the tax rate is $4.20. The man who is careless with his own money will be careless with the county's money. The bestjman to eleot to a county office is the man who pinches a dollar till the eagle shrieks." P. R. O'Brien has gone to Turquoise to help out the Bisbeeltes In that neck of the political woods. He deserves well of the Bisbeeltes in return. He is a man of rare ability and of strong 'character. He should be elected, in all fairness and for the beat interests of the county Fair-minded Democrats cannot get over the fact that Smith niched from Col. Wilson the nomination that fairly belonged to the latter. It was machine politics against the rough honesty of a man who trusted too implicitly in the history and traditions of the D?mo- cratlc party. No more effective way of losing votes could have been devised than that last night in putting a drunken man on the Despite a reckless waste of giant powder, the crowd at the library had half melted away beforo the time when Marcus Aurelius was duo to speak. - Bisbee is a Smith stronghold" no longer, Tho indications this morning are mat aiurpny win carry mo pre ri tint- Date Graham not only Is a brave man but he has the requisite intelli gence to run tho office as sheriff. A vote for the republican precinct nominees means continuance of law and order In Bisbee. Wilson did more Smith did In four. In one term than The "sympathy racket" out In Cochise county.

When Smith left ACCEPTED TWO RETAINERS Cochise for Pearcfe ho was met by Mart Moore, the aged father of Ted. Moore, killed by the Haldermans. To him Mark extended the glad hand. Moore thruBt-it aside with scorn. "I'll shake the hand of no such man as you are." he said. Herceiy. "xou are tne man who took my money to prosecute my boy's murderers and then went over to the other side because they paid you more. Doubly damn you,I'm on your trail and will stay there till you are defeated." Moore and his friends raised 8800' and" gav6 It -to Smith as a retainer. His only service, they tell, was for the defense and Moore says that Smith never returned the 8800. Mark Smith didn't WHAT SMITH DIDN'T TELL U8 explain last night: Why he left his post of duty to de fend the Wham robbers; Why he didn't prosecute the Haldermans; Why he didn't prosecute Page; Why he didn't oppose the Land Court bill; ; Why he didn't get Statehood for Arizona; Why he didn't do a thing in Con gress. From the Prescott Prospect (Demo cratic): "In conclusion we wish to say that we admire and support people that are honest In politics as well as other affairs, and we are a democrat. That we know that Mark Smith is a usurper; that he has stolen the honor and honest money of one of our worthiest citizens, and before we would support him we would fall farther in hades than an iron wedge would drop in forty years. If our democratic friends on the local ticket don't like our style they are 'at liberty to order their names out of our paper at once. We will eat vSmlth preaches from the text of "If you can clnoh the Wall street guys, do it?" But the Spenatuma ruined widows and orphans and the comparatively poor. No Wall Street man would have touohed the stook as an lnvestos. The sharks who sold the stook got the benefit. Their offices were on Wall Street. A man's personal character becomes a legitimate subject for oriticlsm as soon as he offers himself for public placer The newspaper that falls to warn the voter against an incompetent or dissolute candidate falls In its duty. Charles F. Hoff, one of the most dls tinguished democrats of Arizona, has resigped from the Pima County Demo cratic Central Committee. He says the democrats have thrown free sliver overboard. The editor of The Republican Ad vooate" bldB adieu to his readers, with expression of the hope that through tne puoncation something of good has come' unto tne county of Cochise. ' A. V. Noyes lives In Naco, nine miles away, but he is an old resident of Bis bee and best knows her needs. No better man could be found for super visor. f "" """ " Prohibitionists are entitled to their opinions, but they should remember that a vote for the prohibition ticket is a valuable ballot thrown away. Smith said the tombstone mines closed -town because of the slump In silver. He knew better, and so did the miners In his audience. Cochise county will give Oakes Mur phy a gratifying majority. Tomb stone, Willcox, Pearce and Benson are almost unanimous for him. Professor J. A. Rockfellow is a civil engineer of the highest qualifications. He is worthy of your vote. .The poll tax bill was passed by a democratic legislature. Don't call It a republican measure. Mark Smith was elected once on a lie the land court bugaboo. People cannot trust him. Mark Smith avers that he Is a de cent man. Then intemperance is not indecency. 0. L. Cummings Is a reputable busi ness man just the man for treasurer. Remember that a vote for Murphy Is a vote for Statehood. The Democrats of Bisbee are tired of being fooled. f 'MJulllJltClt M.bii& The Democratic Messenger EDITED BY THE COCHISE COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CBNTRALiCOMMITTEE iHM - WW - - - M - ,K - DEMOCRATIC TICKET .

TJhe American Association of Mining Engineer'a said a year ago that nowhere on the whole Pacific1' coast did. .they receive such a well organized and well carried out welcome and entertainment as they did in Bisbee. The Masonio Grand Lodge was entertalned.here In a man- ner that attracted favorable mention from all over the civilized world. Some ot ovu-Pourth -of -July celebrations would have done credit to a great city. But no event in the history of the town has surpassed the m'agnifioent ovation accorded'xthe Hon. Marcus A. Smith and the Defljg,oratj, county. candidates yesterday. The town is so overwhelmingly Dem ocratic,, and. the people are so thor oughly in earnest in their admiration for the splendid set of candidates that are being voted lor today, ana tneir belief injthe political principles which those candidates represent, that the grand demonstration of yesterday was a natural and fltting.expressiou of the prevailing.BQntiment. ' !. Mr. Smith ateppod from he train into an enthusiastic crowd of admirers, who welcomed him with loud and pro- longed cheers which fairly drowned tho musio of-our --excellent, band and. the rparlng of the" giant powdar on the hillsides. He was immediately escorted to bis seat in a carriage In the proces sion of candidates which was4u wait ing. The wagons were docdrated with apprppiiate.inottoes and with bunting. Most of the men in the parado curried red, white and blue umbrellas, which added brilliancy to the nt'ocession. They, with the band, drove through the principal streets and were everywhere received with cheers. It was like a royal progress; - After the parade, in compliance with the request of a delegation of tho men working on the night shift, Mr Smith gave a short address to a crowd on the plaza from the library veranda.

" ' J "Early in -the course of his address Mrs. J. J. Patton stepped forward and presented him with a beautiful boquet of flowers on behalf of 'the ladies of the , county, Several of the other speakers received boquets, and one of the finest had been sent from Tomb atone for Mr. E. A. Nichols, the candi date for Public School Superintendent, who was of necessity absent watching by the bedside of a sick daughter. Fitting allusion was made by the speakers to Mr. Nichols and also to Judge RobinBon, who is confined to his bed by illness and whose absence was a great disappointment. After such a magnificent demonstra tion as that of yesterday, no one can be surprised at the great Demooratlo victory which tho voters are reoording ' today. ' Mark Smith, who received a magnif icent ovation, th$ whole crowd cheer ing itself hoarse, -stepped to the front and delivered undoubtedly the finest speech of tho campaign, Here are a few sentences from that address: My friends there is nothing that has touched mo more in this whole cam paign than tho meeting this evening, and shaking by the hand the scores of little ones upon this stage tonight. It takes me back to twenty years ago when I first came to this territory and I was only a boy myself. I want to sue ybu good parents of these "young men ' and women, who will soon be taking our places In this life, and It li only a , . . , ' . .

Thls campaign Is about over, and thls Is the last night before the elec tion, and it does mo good to be here in old Bisbee, and I hope that by this time tomorrow night the people will have declared that whatever falsehoods 'That . have gone but and things that have bcen,said about me, and the peo ple of BIsbee"wHl say that Mark Smith is not guilty. iMn Smith was interrupted at this "time and 'presented' with a beautiful boquet of flowers froin the ladles of Bisbee by Mrs. J. J. Patton. As I said -this evening in a speeoh before the miners who are unable to be with us tonight, I defy those who have been attacking my personal and prl- vate actions in Washington and In Ari zona,, and they can flLd nothing against me; and there w'as one thing that has amused me that has gotten out by the republicans, which is in the form of a small booklet of about 30 pages I saw the other day in the northern part of ,J,ho territory, bn the cover of which said: "What Mark Smith has done In Congress." This they claimed as my record In Washington. My friends, you have doubtless all seen this pamphlet, and there Is not one stain or blot In all those pages. a voice 'Not a Single black mark.' (Loud applause.) .. I met the. governor at a meeting in Helvetia camp last night, and 1 was as tounded at gome of the things he said. But wi held ojir meeting, and while he had tho "biz fellows listening to his telling all about the Yavapai bonds and his mining proclamation, which he said was done for the protection of the miner as well as the Investor or Wall Btreottftplt'allst', wo had the 400 miners of that c'amp at our meeting. Why, don't you know, Oakes Murphy and his following are. making a great hurrah over a telegram they have received from Senator Shoup of Idaho, saying that he will do all he can to help old Arlinnn tn irnt statehood If the neonle elect Murphy as delegate to congress, and they should by all meaqs send him to congress. My friends, I think of Idaho, I think of Mr. Shoup, I think of the bull pens of the Coeur d'Alone, I think of the blue-coat police that were thrust upon tho miners, who bad a perfect right to say they would not work, and exercise the right of every American citizen. The. great tidal wave that swept over &mmd .resaauuBMre.ft,- tiiSvVmk Jfi -.,!,, - J- J. v f tho once magnificent city ot Galveston and buried in its wake thousands of people was an awful thing and has no parallel in history, but, my friends, the great tidal wave that will roll! across the Pacific and bring with it and to the shores of our country the great mass of pauper immigration that work in their country for 12 cents a day, in Mexican money, will be a thousand times great' er calamity than that at Galveston, and the great mass "of common people .will be the sufferers, and tne starvation and want that will come will be terrible to think of. Take those Chinese in th Hawaiian Islands, and If the supreme court decides they are citizens of this" country, there Is no law to provont their landing on our shores, and what will stop the contract labor that will be brought Into the United states by tho hundreds of thousands of this people and crush laborer. out the honest toller and Mark Smith's Standing in Wash ington. "We served in congress together and" few men have ever won my regard and admiration more than Mark Smith of Arizona." William J. Bryan. "Mark Smith Is one of the brightest men that ever came to congress from any state or territory." J. D. Rich ardson, of Tennessee. "Mark Smith is one of our best silver speakers. He has been with us from the h-ginning. " Senator Jones of Ne vada. I want to see Mark Smith In congress again. Senator Jones of Arkansas, Chairman of National central com mittee. I have known Mark from boyhood. He is as well known and as much ad mlrod in old Kentucky as ho Is In Ari zona. Senator Blackburn of Kentucky. "X have been proud to count Mark Smith among my dearest friends for many years. He can command me at all times. Congressman Amos J-Cum-mlngs of New York. The report that Mark Smith has not paid poll tax and is ineligible to office is, as may be supposed utterly false. The same yarn was sprung four years ago when it was jutt as far from the truth as It Is this time. The re publican push do try hard to rake up . some flaw in the splendid record of "Our Mark", but they fall to find It or to fool the voters regarding it. It Is the contention of the democrat ic party that the Constitution is and must be supremo over every portion of our country. Hence there can be no such thing as an American colony be longing to the United States and over which our Constitution has no juris diction. Suoh a situation is impossible under our form of government. No Speaker was receited with more marked demonstration of approval last evening than Mr. Edward W. Land the candidate for reelection to the office of District attorney. Mr. Land has im proved wonderfully as a speaker dur ing the past two yean and can now be reckoned among our best. The Cochise county central com mittee thank the voters for the kindly reception they have given their effort to place the truth before them In these columns and for the flattering majority that they are giving the democratic candidates today. The roost reliablp expression of the sentiment of a community can alwas be gained from the Small boys. The Bisbee boys shout at "hll times for Mark Smith. They are sure of a smile aDd kind word from him wherever they meet him. Mr. C. W. Bostwlck, the candidate for probsto judge, has made a fine im presslon In Bisbee, 'iust'as he has done throughout the county. Billy Bradley has at last met hls.match and will have to let go of the county udder Walter Fifo is tho champion" rustler of thejeampaign.
