SMITH Subscription Rates—ln Advance One Year 12.60 Blx Months 1-35 Member National Negro Press Association Advertising Rates on Application ail Matter for Publication MUST be In our Office by Wednesday evening, as we go to press on Thursday NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC An erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person, firm or corporation which may appear in the column? of THE TRIBUNE will be gladly corrected upon its being brought to the attention o' •be publishers THINGS POLITICAL Apropos the subject of politics, we presume many would like to know why the colored people generally, lean toward the Re publican party. As a member of this group, and having been intimately associated with some of the leading politicians of both groups, we believe we are qualified to speak. Primarily, we lean toward the Republican party because of the principles uppn which it is founded. Human freedom and liberty, equal rights and justice, are among the fundamental principles upon which Republicanism is built. True, the Repub lican party of today may be slightly removed from its base, but we still have faith in the Grand Old Party and believe that our de votion and loyalty will be rewarded. The Phoeiiix Tribune has openly advocated the election of the Republican state ticket. It was prompted to do so by its be lief in the superiority of that ticket over the Democratic ticket. The Republican ticket, taken all in all, is far above the average and its candidates, by virtue of their records and their character, are such as to commend themselves to the support of all the people. The candidates of both parties are now engaged in an active campaign and are presenting their issues to the voters of the state. In making their choice, the people are also making the political bed, upon which they are to lie for the next two years. It is the people’s inning. All the candidates, regardless of the party which they represent, are entitled to a fair hearing, upon which judgment is to be rendered for or against them. If, during the campaign, the voters will realize that the greatest danger to their political welfare, is their own indiffer ence, which is the underlying cause of the political incompetency about which they complain, and will be guided by intelligent con sideration of the issues involved, instead of indulging in person alities and partisan opinion, the result will be increased effi ciency in the administration of the affairs and less cause for complaint. The Tribune can only point the way. There can be no better guidance for the people in reaching a decision, than the presenta tion of the issues by the candidates themselves. The mere state ment of principle in a party platform, is not in itself sufficient to convey an adequate idea of the problems confronting the state. This can only be elicited by a fair and open discussion. As the campaign advances, The Tribune will discuss the is sues and the qualifications of the candidates impartially in be half of what it believes to be the best interests of the state. If the public wants an efficient administration of its affairs, the way to accomplish it is to take an active interest in the selection of its officials. All who have not registered should do so now, in order that you may be privileged to express your preference at the polls November 7. Five years of struggle have brought The Tribune safely through the storm and placed it in the front rank of race jour nals in the west. The colored voters of Arizona, 3,500 strong, hold the balance of power and if properly organized, can turn the election. Let’s get together and show our strength. Organize! Organize!! Organize!!! Plans are on foot for the organization of a colored Republi can club in Phoenix. This is as it should be. Phoenix is the metropolis and we should set the pace for our neople in other cities in the state. Denominational prejudice, says a great writer, is the causej 1 of a great deal of the differences between our people. No mat-1 ter how fine a man or woman is, unless he belongs to “this or that” branch of the church, he is not in it. We should quit that foolishness and recognize ability and fitness, not “what church do you belong to’?’ We sometimes become unduly exercised about various can didates and get angry with our friends because they don’t think as we do. This should not be. We should learn to differ and still be friends. The advertising columns of The Tribune are open to both Democrats and Republicans, and all may have a hearing at our regular advertising rates. No ads which attack the character of any candidate will be accepted. Such ads must be taken to some other journal. Colonel McClintock, Republican candidatte for U. S. Senator, is a man that adds strength to the ticket. He is a Republican of the old school—the Roosevelt type. His election virtually, is assured, for Democrats as well as Republicans hold him in high regard and will support him. We are for him, teeth and toe nail. Why not revive the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P.? We need such an organization in Phoenix and must have it. Will some real leader please come forward and help us put it over?

Many vacant lots hav e been cleaned thoroughly. The home on the northwest corner of Had ley and Second streets was extremely neat and of very pleasing appearance, and we recommend this place for the first prize. A tiny little home with tasteful trellises, well kept lawn and rose bushes, at ]>o2 East Jefferson street, bore witness of what can be done with the simplest possession. The owner Is a colored man and the committee recommends it for second prize, both because it takes second place in the committee’s judgment and as an incentive to further effort on the part of the colored people in this district. The home at 818 South Second street presents every indica tion of effort to beautify and to keep clean, and the committee recommends this place for third prize.
