WHO ARErHE REPUBLICANS

ley N tOOarJ ana DCraO CtuD Ol No- gales" have been casting reflections upon the membership of the club-as- serting that they are not republicans.
 An analysis of the vote, in that con- nection would prove interesting. The club numbers fifty-fiye voters exact ly the number of votes cast for A. J.
 Doran. Of the ffty-iiye just forty three were in Nogales on election day.
 Every one of those forty-three voters cast their ballots for A. J. Doran. leaving the other twelve votes he re- ceived to come from elsewhere. Five of the twelve were democrats, who were induced to vote for MT. Doran by members of the club, leaving but seven Doran votes coming from out side the club.
 Two years ago MT. Murphy, republi- : can candidate for delegate in congress had about eighty votes in Nogales. Some twenty-five republican votes have disappeared. Where did they go?
 Of the ninety-one votes cast for MT. Chenowcth fifty-three were also for Mark Smith. Only twenty-eight Of those who voted for MT. Smith left MT. Chenoweth off from their ballots. Does it not then follow, as an irresist- ible conclusion, that the twenty-five Murphy votes lost to Doran were traded in the interest nf Mir. Cheno- weth? Who, then are the republicans in Nogales? Those who voted for MT. Doran-the members of tine club bear ing his name--Or those who traded Doran to Mark Smith in order to get democratic votes for Mir Chenoweth?
 There is another significant little fact in the way in which the ballots counted out of the box. Of the fifty five ballots for MT. DOran only nine- teen bore the \ at MT. Chenoweth's name. There must be something ra- dically wrong about candidate when near two-thirds of those who vote for the head of the ticket on which he is running will not vote for him.
 This analysis of the vote cast in No gales is becoming very interesting. Carry it little farther. Take Judge Williams for instance Of the eighty one votes cast for Mark Smith forty one were also cast for Judge Williams. He also appears to have been a bene- ficiary of the deal made with the democrats. Perhaps those forty-one votes were to reward his eminent ser vices in splitting the republican par ty in Nogales. And of the fifty-five voters who cast their ballots sfor DO- ran, thirty-four would not vote for Judge Williams In their race for the i'll will of their republican party associates messrs Williams and Chen oweth seem to be running very closely but Chenoweth has completely dis tanced the judge in getting into the good graces of democrats If these gentlemen will take bit of advice they will hereafter first get their own party solid, and then look for votes on the outside. Had they done that this year they would have now been both l elected.
 In this connection there is another matter worthy of passing attention. In the A. P. A. primary election con- ducted in the interest of Messrs Chen and Williams. in September, there were fifty-four votes cast. At the reg ular republican primary held the same date forty-fve straight republicans voted Tuesday those forty-five re- publicaus voted for A. J. Doran. As five democrats voted for him it is evi- dert that only four of the fifty four voting at the A. P. A primary voted for Doran Where were the votes of
