believing him the best representative Of the

not to seek continuance in Office and establish

ARIZONA was pre-eminentlya Cleveland ter.
ritory, as was demonstrated by her casting
her vote for him at the convention not
withstanding the fact that she is a silver-pro-

people there are not IN accord with him on the
money question. They appreciate. however,
! his integrity and recognize In him the highest

port him in spite Of personal interest differ
ences they may have on the money question
| II think il was political crime that the re-
publican Senate denied Arizona statehood. 70
| which she is entitled by her population and
wealth. Neither Idaho nor Wyoming had AZ
just or strong claims either in population or

territory Is close, the chances strongly favorin9
the democracy. and under a wise democratic sd-
ministration these chances would be greatly in
