S. B. GILLILAND WILL
RUN FOR STATE SENATOR
____________

    Judge S. B. Gilliland has agreed at last to become a candidate for the office of state senator, provided the republican voters give him the nomination by their votes at the primaries next month.
    Judge Gilliland filled the vacancy in the house of representatives at the last special session of the legislature caused by the resignation of Judge F. W. Perkins. During the special session there was much legislation of importance up, in which Coconino county was vitally interested. Notably, the Normal school appropriation and the insidious propaganda against the northern Arizona Normal. His efforts were a dominating factor in bringing out the splendid work being done by the Normal and won favor among legislators to the extent of needed appropriations being granted, instead of abolishment and other schemes proposed.
    Judge Gilliland has been a resident of Flagstaff for the past twenty-six years, a large part of that time in the employ of the Arizona Lumber & Timber Co., later holding the office of police judge by appointment of the city council.
    Judge Gilliland served in the legislature in Iowa in 1872-4 when he made an enviable record and his knowledge of laws and law making will be a great asset to him as well as to Coconino county as their representative in the state senate.
