Arizona republican., 1900-10-25


 zona, democrats as well as republicans,
 who honestly desire
 OUR statehood. are keeping
 DUTY track of the progress of
 PLAIN. the national campaign.
 If they are it mus, be evident 10 them that 1he landslide to- ward Mckinley is certain to be oyer whelming.
 The Republican yesterday printed q dispatch from New York stating that even the most conservative members of the republican national committee are looking for q tidal wave that will not only combine the present administra- lion. but both branches of congress ds well. Favorable reports are reaching headquarters from every state in such quantities that il is difficult to keep track of them. The reports from Della ware, Maryland, West Virginia. Ken lucky. Indiana. Illinois. the two Da- llotas. and even C"lorad" and Ne braska are such that there is not q shadow of doubt that all of these states will be found in the republican column on election day. All these states have been claimed by the demo crats. and of course they will continue to claim them. but owing tn the mag nilicent republican organization the facts concerning the situation cannot be disguised.
 In Nebraska the first days reeistra- tion showed immense republican gains. In Bryans own town. Lincoln. the re- publicans made n gain of at least 1000. General Paul Vandervoort of Lincoln. who is now taking part in the cam naign in New York. contributes this interesting information concerning the situation in his state:
 Ut must he remembered that Ne braska until 1896 was d republican state, and the populists who carried the state for Bryan had voted the repubIl- can ticket before. Bryan won by l2,- GOO. If We did not have contest for | the United States senatorship in the state at this time I would be safe in estimating McKinley's plurality at 50, | GOO. The middle-Of- the-road populistS are putting fear and rage into the | hearts of the Nebraska democrats. | They will cast 10000 votes for their own ticket, and these were Bryan votes l in 1896 From the best information at hand l would say that Mckinley will win Nebraska by about 5000
 From Indiana comes the report which we print on this page that Bryan is being sacrificed there by the democrats who desire to see John w Kern. the democratic candidate for governor. elected Interesting details of the scheme whereby the Indiana democrats hope to save their governor are given in this report. That Bryan is greatly worried over the situation ir Indiana is shown by his desire tC stump the state again.
 Another straw which should not De lost upon our readers is the statement from New York that the betting or Mckinley is now four to one with very little money being offered by the dem ocrats. and this coming largely from the democratic club, of which Richar, Croker is the presiding genius Cr@k CTS plan of action is to try to encour age the democracy by throwing q fev thousand dollars into the betUn! sircles. With ninety odd million dollars worth of patronage at his dis posal Cr"ker can well afford to mak , this blum.
 } In the light of the reports from tn different states which are available t ; every reader. how can the voters 0 ; Arizona afford to run any risk of losing 2 statehood by declining to send a repub } lican delegate to a republican con gress? We have repeatedly pointr : out that politics dominates the quest in of the admission of territory. Whii 5 the purists in politics take tin" h l ground that a territory which is on } titled to statehood by reason of il population and it's resources should D l admitted as matter of justice ar right. the history of the states ad1lit r ted within the last fifty years wi
