Of a candidate whose name the petit

paratory to his campaign for nomina-

first of all, necessity that the candidate,
at least in q district larger than Assem-

take charge Of circulating his petitions

ticket of one party, or the name Of one
candidate for any office from any of the
tickets presented to him, or he may write
thereon, from top to bottom, the names
of persons of his own selection. 1t is
true that the party ballot, taken alone,
followed the Australian ballot, in that
the names were printed in order under
the official designation, and that the vot-
CIR might indicate his choice by making
q cross after any name printed, or write
the name of another person of his own
selection in the blank place provided
, therefor; but the limitation to q party
ballot, by the declaration of a party af-
filiation, interfered with the secrecy of
the ballot, and took away the main adj
vantage Of the Australian ballot.
ga primary election has been decided
by the courts 20 be an election. Voting
by ballot at an election, under our con-
stitution, means casting q secret vote,
and at no election, primary or general,
can the Legislature deprive an elector
Of his constitutional right to cast a Sc
cret ballot. The Australian ballot was
introduced into our state by the Cooper
law for the express purpose of prevent
ing espionage at elections, securing more
fully the independence of voters, and of
enforcing the secrecy of the ballot
THE Stevens bill required a voter
to declare openly the party whose ticket
he intended to vote. Such a declaration
made the voter partisan in spite Of his
sovereign right of choice. Our consti-
tuition permits an elector voluntarily to
be partisan; it does not require him to
declare that he is q partisan in order
that he may cast his vote. The ballot
provided in the Stevens bill did not en-
force secrecy, therefore, it was not the
Australian ballot-the ballot demanded
in the platform. The ballot provided
in the Stevens bill was not a secret bal
lot, therefore it was not constitutional
ballot.
Violated the Constitution.
Notwithstanding the assertion of his
belief by the eminent spokesman for the
bill, whom I quoted in my first letter
that the Stevens bill was properly drawn
in all its details, and of his inability to
find any defects in the bill, defects such
as I have above pointed out were dis
covered by the Legislature as it consid-

Shot 'Em Up.
 A young man in the employment of the Copper Queen store got a bull tick jag on early Sunday morning. He contracted the idea that his hat was Higginson's feet and he was a coast defense, and blazed away with his land battery about six times with the result-that he is much better fixed for a hat than he is for a job. He wasn't going to jail, like other fel- lows, he couldn't be taken to jail, but he woke up there just the same. The way of the transgressor is hard.
 Bob Hutchison was in from the big copper group yesterday laying in neoes sary supplies, consisting chiefly of fresh air pipes. Some startling de- vebpmIents may be expected from that camp in the near future.

Killed A Bear.
 George Dunn, of the Azurite, re- turned Saturday from a hunting trip in the Ajo mountains, bringing with him a bears head ands skin. which is the largest ever seen in Bisbee. In company with Jack Thomas, George was hunting in the Ajos, when about dark they surprised a bear on the bluff above them. They opened fire and succeeding in putting three bullets into the oncoming bear, but without securing effect. George was unable to get out of the way and was caught and knows what it means to be hugged by a bear. But for the fact that the bear was weakned from the loss of blood there might have been a different story to tell. The dead bear weighed $40 pounds. The head and skin was on exhibition at the Azurite last night

 Enthusiasm that has been pent up fpr two long months was given full sway at Don Luis on Sunday last, and the Bisbee fans were present in good numbers to take advantage of the occasion. They came home satisfied and in a good humor, and it is hoped Manager Bing Morse will soon give another exhibition of the same kind. The morning game was a desultory affair and the attendance small. Minor md the attendance was small. Minor Sims, the Clifton pitcher was in poor form and the Bisbee boys landed on him for a total of ten runs. Old -Rube' was in the box for Bisbee and held the Clifton team down to three rms. Only seven innings were played st the morning game, and the boys nsturned to town and made ready nur the afternoon contest, which was ven worth seeing.
 Not less than two thousand people 0v the afternoon game, which up to fhe seventh inning was of the hair rxfsing order. At this time the score vas to in favor of Clifton and the Bisbee fans walked the side line in a frenzy of despair.
 With the opening of the seventh, the Clifton pitcher went to pieces and with Allen up, Henry on deck and Godfrey following, the fireworks commenced and when the smoke cleared away, Bisbee had scored three runs. The eighth inning ended the game. Bis lee hammered out singles, doubles and . home run in rapid succession. and added six more. Clifton never scored sfter the fifth inning. Bisbee snatched he game out of the fire at the last minute.
 The batting of Godfrey and the field
 
 fne of Henry and Allen are deserving sf special mention. White seemed to have an oil day, probably owing to his recent illness. After the fifth inning though, he steaded down and Clifton was shut out. Henry is credited with two sensational stops at second.
