PHOENIk, Ariz., Sept. 10.-Thecapital
city is having a hot time, literally tnd po-
Ntically. The month OF September Is
generally Arizona's hottest time. pr at
least seeml so to me, worn out b. the
long stretch Of heat through June, July
and August. Very little energy is zen
except among the politicians, and theyap-
pear to be rustling around as II to makeup
for the inerta OF the balance Of the con-
munity. The principal political struggle
is conferred In the struggle for the nomnt
ton for delegate for congress on the Dem
ocrat.c ticket, as this nomination DIS con-
sidered to practically end the delegate
fight, the Democratic candidate being con-
coded the election by those who under
stand tho political situation. The strug-
gle is a three-cornered one so far. The
aspirants for the honor are Hon. Mark
Smith Of Cochise county, the present in
cumbent, j. +. Wilson of Prescott and
Hon. e. E. El!nwood Of Flagstaff. late
United States attorney under the Cleve-
land administration, all Of them with
about an even and equally enthusiastic
support. Cochise and Graham counties
have instructed for Smith, Yavapai coun-
ty has declared for its favorite citizen,
Wilson, and Mohave and Coconino counties
for Elllnwood. Yuma county is generally
conceded TO Smith. There will be big
contest In Pima county, and upon its de-
cision by the convention may hang the re-
suit Of the delegate fight. In Maricopa
county (Phoenix) about half the delegates
selected are outspoken for Smith and the
remainder about equally divided between
Fleetwood and Wilson. All three OF the
candidates and their friends are putting
forth their very best efforts and the meet
ing of the Democratic territorial conven-
tion is impatiently awaited. The pace got
so hot that Mark Smith was obliged to take
q run into Los Angeles this week to cool
off. Smith has made a good delegate the
last term and may win out
The Republicans, as well as the Demo-
cras. have a good growing crop of tim
Der from which to select delegate to Con-
gress. The territorial convention meets
in Prescott on the goth of this month. u.
NJ Rordan Of Flagstaff. Col. A. e. Brodie
of Prescott, II. f. Penrose of Cochise coun'
ty are candidates. But it is noticeable
that every day some candidate suggested
by the newspapers hastens to withdraw
his name. The Democratic nominee will
win this year. and wise Republicans who
might be especially available are not going
TO waste their money to see the other fell
low elected.
One Of the straws to show how good the
Chicago Democratic platform is considered
In Arizona, and especially in Maricopa
county, Is shown by the fact that Mar!copa
Republicans today endorsed the initiative
and referendum, and even the imperative
mandate. Rough Riders" ticket will
be nominated and the Republicans claim
Mar;copa Populists will fuse with them.
That, however, will hardly occur. The po-
litical Irritation will be short summer
ore and in the fall the Populists will re-
turn to their old love.
Hon. j. ID. Monihan, ex-mayor Of Phoe-
nix, has announced his candidacy for sher-
III on the Republican ticket. He would
make strong race, but not strong enough
to defeat D. l.. Murray, nominated by the
Democrats for that office. Murray is not
only one Of the most popular men in Mari
copa county, but man with fine pollti-
cal record.
The Hay Market
Heavy shipments Of hay are continually
leaving Phoenix and Tempe over both the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific for Califor-
MIA coast points. 1t is not expected that
this can continue long, as the crop of the
valley is rapidly diminishing and now hard
~ exceeds the demand for local consump-
ton. Grain hay is quoted at s12 per ton
and alfalfa at $3.50 to s..
The banks of the Buckeye canal which
were damaged by heavy rains have, been
repaired.
A young Mexican girl at Tempe named
Mercedes Ocedo died on the It'll from an
abscess caused by an ulcerated TOOTH
Perry Wildman. for many years a mer-
chant of Tempe, 1t Is said, will shortly go
10 the Hawaiian Islands to represent San
Francisco business house. Mr.. Wdman
is fine gentleman and good business
rustler. His neighbors wish him success.
Grading on the Prescott and Southeast
ern railroad will be completed about the
GOTH Eighteen miles Of track has been
laid and most of the bridges built.
BY October the county poor farm will
be in shape to care for, the county's indi-
gent. Old pensioners have been notified
that their allowances will cease on that
date.
One hundred and thirty-five students
have registered at the territorial normal
school at Tempe to date. Many more are
expected to attend.
