Special Correspondence to The Herald
PHOENIX; May 2-It is too late nov
to cay, much about the local campaign
except to, remark that it has been un
useiiys tame for, Phoenix. I intimatet

promised to be as warm as the weathel
was rapidly Becoming. And then. out o
sheer peryerseness, cool breeze blew
down from, Prescott and those who nae
donned their summer clothing-a pecu'

hastened, to, repair the mistake. Tne
campaign Kept pace with the weather
ana politics were tame.
n territorial politicsthere isn't enough
news to warrant the transmission OF

There may, however. be some storm
clouds gathering below the horizon. II
seems as though all the Arizona office

claims would be recognized at once.

zora Singular as it may appear (to
tfiem) the president appears to have
some other duties aside from dealing out
fat offices to lean Arizona Republicans.
Long ago a very wise congressman re-
marked that the Arizona appointments
made, more fuss than the ambassador to
the Court Of St. James And few
weeks ago when the new assistant to the
new secretary of agriculture inquired
what they raised in Arizona. this same
congrassman-or his brother-replied
tersely:l " 80

v1f the came fuss were made over the
Killed, for the politicians down there are
short onr patience and quick with the
popgun. But Arizona is the most law
abiding place in the United States. There
areufewer crimes committed here than
elsewhere. Some men talk a good deal
5spotably the politicians-but it ends
there. In Maricopa county there are but
ten prisoners in the Jail, and recently
Jim. Gibson. the old riding deputy foI
the sheriff's office, had to be laid off be-
cause criminal business was so slack
Poor Jim! Out of a job because there
are not enough enough criminals in the
Salt River valley!

SWALLOWED GOLD AND ALL
The terrific row that was on among th,
Republicans last summer, when riva
delegations We're sent to the st. Loui
convention, has ended without blood

restored. Wolf1ey is out of the race. a

stalwarts. 1T is now admitted on al
hands that the Republican party i,
Arizona is firm in the faith, having swal
