contents We study an analogue of the Herbrand-Ribet theorem, and its refinement by Mazur and Wiles, in graph theory. For an odd prime number $p$, we let $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ denote the finite field with $p$ elements and the ring of $p$-adic integers, respectively. We consider Galois covers $Y/X$ of finite graphs with Galois group $Δ$ isomorphic to $\mathbb{F}_{p}^{\times}$. Given a $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-valued character of $Δ$, we relate the cardinality of the corresponding character component of the $p$-primary subgroup of the degree zero Picard group of $Y$ to the $p$-adic absolute value of the special value at $u=1$ of the corresponding Artin-Ihara $L$-function.
