REASON WHY.

GOVERNOR MURPHY, who has re,
Gently returned from Washington,
has been interviewed by the Phoe.
nix Republican. Regarding State,
hood and the unfriendly attitude
of Senator Bard of California, the
governor says:
"There had been a hope that
Senator Bard of California would
favor an early report on the bill,
He was bombarded with tele-
grams from boards of trade and
persons who were supposed to
have influence with him through
out all southern California, urging
him to support Statehood. But
there was one influence more
powerful with Mr.. Bard than all,
and it was adverse. 1t was that of
II. G.. Otis, of the Los Angeles
Times. Mr.. Bard could not be
moved.
The Los Angeles Times for
years has enjoyed a large patron
age in every part Of Arizona and
yet when the time comes that it
could be of assistance TO the terri
tory, Otis shows the knavery of
his nature by fighting the state
hood bill through his paper as
we'll as using his personal influence
with the California congressman,
who has used every endeavor to
defeat the measure. Every loyal
Arizonan should cease his patron
age to tho Times. 1t has always
been an enemy of the Territory
and evidently always will he.

FoRTREAsURERi
The CRAWFORD PRIMARY PLAN,

"I am in favor Of all the demo-
Gratis in the counties in the terri
tory holding primaries to nominate
county officers, instead OF holding
mass convention, as has heretofore
been the practice" said Chairman
e. T.. Ellinwood, of the territorial
democratic committee to the Arr
coma Democrat. "The idea is to
have the people nominate the
candidates for the various offices,
instead of allowing the delegates
to do it for them. This plan is
considered much more satisfactory
than holding conventions which is
more or less the victim Of numer-
Gus schemers,
"With the primaries all jobbery
will be done away with, and no
man can cry fraud or feel in the
least disgruntlcd because people of
bis party have seen fit to select
another man. Take for instance
the sherltTs race, on which the
race for the other offices hinge.
With the convention plan, as has
heretofore been the practice, the
candidates for the other offices will
try TO make up slate with that
Of the sheriff, little attention being
paid to the other offices, and at the
the conventions the delegates favor
ing this ticket will be selected.
The delegates will gRto the gen
eral county convention and do the
same thing. The plan has never
been worked successfully, as the
defeated candidates feel at times
that the popular will of the people
has been diverted and that the
greatest schemer has won. This
feeling can be done away with by
adopting the Crawford county
primary plan. The law provides
for the holding Of primary cleo
tiohs just the same as general
election, and the result is exactly
the same-the popular will con-
trolls. Furthermore, by the adop-
tion Of this plan an enthusiasm
will be created which will be very
helpful to the nominees in the
election.
"This plan was unanimously re-
commended by the territorial con-
vention at its last meeting, and has
been discussed by a number OF
leading democrats. / would like
to see the law put into practice
here, as it would result in more
harmony in the ranks and the con-
test for the general election would
be with much greater success. 1t
is probable that ] will make this
suggestion to the various county
committees in my capacity as
chairman of tho territorial com.
mittee."

THATCHER ITEMS,
Regular correspondence to the GUARDIAN.

| Regular Correspondence to the GUARDIAN
For more than a year past Mrs.
". W. Wild has been suffering with
a complication of diseases and for
the past six months has been
confirmed invalid About a month
ago she was removed to Chlarson's
lum ber yard, for the reason that
the weather is not so warm there
as in the valley. The change did
no good, however, for she continu-
ed to slowly sink until death came
to her relief about IL o'clock last
Sunday night. She leaves hus.
brnd and four small children, be-
sides numerous other relatives to
mourn her loss.
On the same night Grandma
Bowman passed away. She had
been i'll for some time, the cause
being old age and a general break
ing down. The double funeral was
held at 10 O'clock on Tuesday aud
was largely attended by sympa.
thetic friends of both families. The
interment took place in the
Thatcher cemetery.
1t is generally understood that
the work Of rebuilding the hall,
that was burned, will begin in y
short time. Because nothing has
SO far been done a good many
people thought the erection Of a
new and modern hail had been
abandoned, But this is not the
case. The only reason the walls
are not now completed is on ac-
count of the scarcity of water in
the canal which had to be depend
ed upon for mortar mixing.
Prest. Kimball has been appoint
ed delegate to tho National Ir-.
rigation Congress which cOnvenes
sometime in the first part of Au-
gust and in order to gather some
information which will prove vaIu-
able to this valley he and Prest.
Johnson, J. q. Alfred and Surveyor
Nash started up the river last
Wednesday and will go as far as
Clifton and make careful exam
ination Of all the creeks that
empty into the river where res
ervoirs may be built for water
storage. General surveys and es
Inmates will be made which will
be reported to the congress by Mr..
Kimball.
The home of W. w. Pace was
the scene of u quiet but pleasant
wedding, at 8 O'clock last Wednes-
day morning, July 2nd, 1902, his
daughter, Maud, being united in
marriage to Mr.. V. B. Callison.
The bride looked charming in
the appropriate dress Of swiss or
Candle trimmed with white silk
ribbon, and natural flowers.
The marriage ceremony was
performed by Prest. A. Kimball,
and after the wedding breakfast
the happy couple, accompanied by
a number Of relatives and friends
were driven to Stafford, where they
boarded the train for Los Angeles,
where they will spend the 4th.
From there they will go to San
Francisco, Southern Utah and
Iowa. After a two months visit
with relatives and friends, they
will return to Thatcher, where
theywill make their future home.

ROTTENRESS.

The Arizona Star published the
following on last Saturday:
"Some of the Republican press
would like to create the impression
that Mark Smith will be the dark
horse in the next Territorial
Democratic conveption. Well, he
may be, but when the convention
is over he will be the white horse
as Mark is political corpse so far
as Arizona is concerned. He has
made a most miserable fizzle Of his
present term of Office, an absolute
failure. General Wilson accom-
plished more in three months of
his term than Mark has accom-
plished during his whole term.
Smith is rank failure at every
thing except keeping full of strong
drink. That may account, how
ever, for his absolute failure in
everything else he undertakes.
No the Republican press need not
be alarmed about Mark. He is not
in anybody's way.now."
The Star has been guilty of a
great many things that no respect
able journal would attempt, but for
right down rottenness, mean poll.
tical knavery and pure, wanton
cussedness the above takes the
cake. The editor of the star has
never had any use for Mr.. Smith
because he would not stand in
with Hughes pet schemes Of job
berry. That is one OF the reasons
the Star is fighting statehood. IF
Mr.. Smith was candidate for re-
election the Stars abuse would as,
sist him; as it is it can do him no
harm.
In nominating men for the Board
Of Supervisors the Democratic
party must select business men,
men who are successful in their
own affairs, men who know how to
drive Il good business bargain and
have the backbone to do it when
the opportunity presents itself,
men who can be relied upon to
conduct the county business in
the best interest of the people.
Members of the board hold the
most important Office in the county,
therefore great care should be ex-
ercised in their selection.

fraying the expenses of packing. A
