{ The republicans of the territory are - united and solid in the support of D Governor Murphy for delegate to con - gresS. Any one reading our contem-
 porary about what it calls the "Mur-
 phy gang" which it defines itself to ! mean any and every onewho is friend
 lv either to Governor or F. N. Mur- 2 phy, must conclude that they are the
 greatest hypnotists in the country to
 5e able to hypnotize the entire repub- lican party. If what our contempor- ary says k true, this is just what they . have done.
 Ar Bryan realizes the hopelessness - of lis cause. the only faint ray of
 hope left to him being the securing of l the support of the genuine democrats. Thus far he is only in harmony with the populistically inclined democrats.
 In order to secure the support and
 votes of the genuine democrats Mir. Bryan has given a pledge not to be- come a candidate for reelection.
 Even this pledge will not save him. however. but defeat greater than he met with four years ago will be his
 fate this year.
 Our contemporary's platform maker
 is evidently at work on a bogus plat
 form for the republicans. It sort of
 prefaced it this morning by stating
 that the republican convention en-
 dorsed the poll tax law. whereas a
 strong plank condemnatory of this
 plank was inserted in the county ! platform adopted. Truth seems to
 carry no favor with our contemporary
 in making assertions. The platform
 adopted and published in the Jour
 nal-AIiner speaks for itself and is the
 best refutation of the Courier's state
 ment about the endorsement of the poll tax law.
 Five suicides occurred in New York
 in one day, recently.
 That promised compromise between
 the Smith and Wilson factions does
 not materialize very rapidly so far.
 At the present mud singing gait of our contemporary it will run out of
 mud before the campaign is over, m-
 less it has stocked up with an m-
 usually heavy supply.
 Montana democratic politics are in the same fix as those in Arizona at
 present time split wide open. A chasm has opened between the Clark and Daily factions which cannot be bridged.
 D. R. Anthony. the venerable Kan sas editor says that if he had his life { to live over again he would do less scapping. No other editor in the I United States has gone through the amount of personal encounters than . Mr. Anthony has He has been shot. |. cut and beaten with clubs on sundry and numerous occasions. At one time he was shot through the neck |; and for days thereafter an attendant , had t5 be with him constantly. with his finger pressed on blood vessel to | prevent him from bleeding to death. MT. Anthony has presided over the | Leavenworth Times for about forty t years or more, c
 While democrats are making wig orous campaign against imperialism. | a large proportion of them are favor Il ing one of the most imperialistic ac- C lions ever attempted in politics in the Il United States. After the democratic p in Maricopa county d had concluded its labors, and V alected a delegation to their ter itorial convention in regular form \ md everybody seemed satisfied and il happy except the usual after conven- e, ion sore spots which are always tI ond, two or three individuals met tC md named a delegation to the terri el orial convention. It was this imper- tC alisticallynamed delegation that gave h. Colonel Wilson the semblance of the which he claims to have ecoived. The will of the people as by their representatives in was ignored and one or d, wo men exercised the authority vest \ d in those delegates by naming a ii different and contesting delegation. si i was case of government of the people, for the people, by Tom Smith D, md associates If this is not i'm te 'erialism there is no case of it extant w n American politics. pi

 The Democratic nominee for gover- - or of Alabama is horrible gold bug .i. nd an awful expausionist. Every ,rl hing goes in Alabama. !.
