WEDNESDAYS PRIMARY.

The democratic primary held Wednes day was not entirely friendly contest between rival candidates for delegate to the Chicago convention. While 1t might have been considered such In the outset, a different issue was forced upon the voters by the appearance of Governor Zalick and number of his supporters, who electioneered during the entire day for the Foster ticket, on he grounds that its success meant an endorsement of the administrator. Having forced the fight on that issue, 1t IS only logical conclu- sion that the defeat which 1t met with was a defeat for the administration. Dur ing the day there was an animated dis cussion between a prominent official and the Prescott associated press cor respondent, m which II IS allegedthat the lie was passed by the former, to which the latter coolly replied, You are gentle man, and that is the biggest lie 1 ever told" A deputy sheriff, who was an energetic worker ail day for the Hern- don ticket, also run counter to an ofh- cial, and angry words were the result. and personal encounter was at one time imminent, but was happily averted. The bitter feelings ensendered over the Friendly contest" will no doubt rankle m the breasts of the faithful until the ld,.s of November

The coming territorial legislature should

The coming territorial legislature should pass law regulating the building and maintaining of barbed wire fences throug ghoui the territory, AS they are now constructed the cattle running at large on the ranges are continually ip- turing themselves by running against the cruel points the wound often resulting fatally. Many of the eastern states have passed laws compelling the owners of these fences 10 maintain al least one line ot board at the top of the fence, so that the cattle can see the obstruction. This is not only wise but humane law, and should be adopted in Arizona, where there are so many miles of this fence. The courts of the eastern states are full of damage suits brought about on this account. ard if some of ouS ranchers who have suffered damages from having their cattle injured by reason of these fences, should test their right to recover, they would no doubt succeed.-Citizen.
