THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT.

After THE OASIS was printed
 last week the information was re-
 ceived that the democratic conven-
 jim at Phoenix had resolved itself
 ;,,o q double barrelled affair which
 both discharged at once, each firing
 out candidate for congress and a
 full fledged territorial organization, Of one faction Mark Smith is the candidate for congress, and Colonel
 Wilson is the candidate of the other. Whether both will have a nlace on the official ballot is un- known as yet. The question may have to be decided by the courts. The Wilson people immediately filed their ballot with the secretary of the territory. At this writing the Smith people have not yet done so, but they may offer the necessary documents before THE OASIS goes to press Saturday. If the secretary accepts the Smith filing both tickets will appear upon the official ballot. If he thinks that under the the law he cannot accept the filing oltwo democratic tickets he will have to refuse the later one offered, which will be, the Smith ticket. Then those backing that ticket will have to proceed to find a remedy by asking a court of competent jurisdiction to issue writ of man. date commanding the secretary to make the filing and have the ticket printed upon the official ballot. In

that case the court will have either to grant the petition at once or go into the details of the democratic primaries and county convention in
 Maricopa county; and settle the questions between the two contest ing delegations from that county which the territorial democratic convention could not settle for it's self. As district judge Hon. w. H. Street, of Phoenix, a republi- can, will have the decision in the case. A peculiar situation, to say the least. But whatever way the case is settled, the split in the Ari- zona democracy is irreparable this year anyway.
The oasis., 1900-09-22

By WISDOM and moderation the republican convention at Phoenix next Monday will name delegate to congress and a United States senator. If the convention works harmoniously its candidate will be elected, he will secure statehood, and he will become senator.
