STILL HOLDS OFF
WILL NOT YIELD TO DEMOCRATIC
CITY OMMITTEE.
Body Now in N Most Unfortunate
ELECTROMAGNETIC Prohi-
bitionists.

The strings which Chairman flaming
and the Democratic city committee hold on
the Democratic nomination for mayor have
become entangled. and it Is said that not
even Mayor Taggart. who arrived in the
city yesterday. can suggest anything which
will let the Democratic managers out of
the embarrassing position in which they
have unwittingly placed themselves.
The whole trouble lies in the fact that
Jo seph Z. Bells candidacy is hopeless. and
no one else to the liking Of the Democratic
city committee can be found who is will
ing to take his place and make the race
for the nomination. The members of the
committee have gone TO John j. Appel and
begged him 10 be a candidate. but he has
persistently declined. Certain members
threatened to file a petition presenting the
name of Mr.. Appel without his consent.
But according to the statement of Mr.. Appel
last night he had successfully headed this
move of. and was farther away from the
notion OF being a candidate than ever.
1t is said that innumerable candidates
were suggested TO the committee. yesterday.
but none was found worthy in the sight of
Chairman Tanning. To add to the embar-
rassment the committee realizes that it
has considerably weakened the candidacy
of Bell and lessened his chances by its
unkind desertion of him and its bold at
tempt TO drag another man into the race.
The action of the committee has also raised
the ire of some of Mr.. Bells friends, who
are loudly expressing their indignation at
the way he has been treated.
The unhappy position in which the city
committee finds itself is proving a great
source of satisfaction 10 the Moore Dem
ocrats. who can't help but appreciate the
advantage it gives TO their candidate.
Moore is steadily strengthing his organi-
zatiOn. they say, and in the event that Bell
is his only opponent they declare that
Moore Will be a sure winner. On the other
hand they urge that a new candidate has
but a short time to form an organization
and would necessarily be greatly handi-
capped 10 enter the race at this late date.
1t has been suggested by some Democrats
that the best solution of the difficulty
would be to make Moore the unanimous
nominee of the party. No petition for
places on the ticket can be received after
Friday.

OHIO's GOVERNOR REFUSED.
Reauisition for state senator Archer
Not Granted.

Charles r. Wilson, secretary TO Governor
Durbin. expressed surprise yesterday when
ne heard of the action OF Governor Nash.
of Ohio. in refusing to honor the requisition
issued by Governor Durbin a few lays ago
for the return to Bedford. this State. of
Frank ID. Archer. a member of the Ohio
Senate. Archer's offense is alleged to have
been the Misrepresentation of his financial
standing III order TO secure names of two
citizens TO a bond for street paving in the
city OF Bedford. An afternoon paper said
one reason the requisitiOn was refused was
thst the bond was not attacked"
That word ought 10 be attached, - said
Colonel Wilson. but even with that change
i cannot see why the requisition should
have been refused. for / have never known
a bond TO be attached to requisition papers
before. / cannot see how the failure To at
tach IL TO the papers I'm the Archer case
made the application defective. as asserted
I'm the dispatch from Ohio" When Colonel
Wilson was asked If Governor Durbin
would take any further steps in the mat
ter. he said: There are no steps 10 take.
We are at the end OF our string"
Archer, the man sought TO be returned to
this State. is a member OF the Ohio Senate
from Belmont county. His alleged misrep-
resentation OF his financial condition is said
10 have caused two men at Bedford 10 lose
5000 Presumably. any further action in
the case Will be taken by the attorneys for
the men who lost on the bond.

ARIZONA COLONEL HERE
WANTS TAGGART TO BE DEMOCRAT
&c NATIONAL CHAIRMAN.
Says Crime Is Not Prevalent i'm Tue
son, but Gambling Is Pur-
sued Faithfully.

Col. ]. b. Breathitt. of Tucson, Arizona,
IS registered at the Grand Hotel. He is a
member of the national Democratic COM
mittee. and while he claims his visit to In
dianapolis is OF an entirely private nature
he says he Is for Thomas Taggart for ma
tional chairman.
Col. Breathitt says the Democrats Of
Arizona are nearly unanimous for Bryan
as the next Democratic candidate for
President, but as the Lincoln man has
given his ultimatum to the effect that he
will not be a candidate again the Arizona
people will have to be satisfied with some
other candidate.
Our people are all in favor of statehood
and the platforms of both parties declare in
favor of Arizona becoming a State" said
Col. B%reathitt. las the Territory Is safely
Democratic there might be a little trouble
I'm getting into the Union, as it would mean
another Democratic vote i'm Congress.
ARIZONA Is now enjoying a prosperous
pwth and IL will not be long until it COM
p7fes ftvofablSxith some OF tie Western
States. Copper mining is the chief indus
try I'm that Territory. but cattle raising is
also a profitable business. Most of the eat
tie are shipped away from there when they
become "A year old as they have little to
ear during part of the year and become
S(TdNUN.
II nave resided in Tucson about seven
years and / find IL a most enjoyable
climate. Few people i'm this part of the
country know anything about Arizona and
many think 1T is a lawless place where
murder Is a common crime. In Tucson there
is less crime than I'm most cities of its size.
There Is a lot of wealth in that city of only
10000 Inhabitants and there is also a lot of
gambling. Front doors to the gambling
dens are never locked, in fact there are no
heavy doors to the places. only small
screens TO shut of the view from the
street.
The gambling rooms are always crowded
during the first few days Of eSch month
and IL Is hard to get near a table In most
Of the places. You will see fifteen or
twenty Mexicans around a table playing
monte. At another table you Will see
Cinnamon playinL faro. They are ~inveter-
ate gamblers. 1t Is secOLd nature with
them. The Americans play roulette and
craps. There is little poker played, unless
IL Is stud poker, as IL is not quick enough
action.
I'm these places you will hear no loud
talking nor see bCisterous conduct. A man
might go IN there and lose $500. all the
money he had I'm the world. and not say q
word from the time he sat down to the
table until he walks out the door.
Another thing about Arizona is the
small amount of stealing there. People are
safe 10 leave their houses open and ] have
left my office unlocked for three months
while away, and when / returned / found
things just as / left them"
Col. Breathitt says he will remain I'm In
dianapoEs two or three days and will then
return home.
