VIEWS OF HIS OWN
And His Good Relations With Mur-
Dhu Cause UnhdDDiness and Dis
gust in the Camp OF the
Other Fellows.

PHOENIX Arig.. June 2S-There
are whisperings of discord aud some
outward indications that everything Ia
m lovely in the Republican camp.
The seasoned soldier who is about to
assume the duties of governor OF the
Territory gives evidence of having
VIII and Ideas of his own and the pa
,ti'fS who had formed close corpora
ton 10 arrange" everything for him
az beginning to give evidence of dis
appointment
Colonel Bodle is not saying N sch.
but /. AT excellent listener He hears
ali suggestions patiently, bnt can be
as siient As Grant when IL suits his
purpose. He Is not disposed accord
ing to appearances. to carry out the
cut and dried program that Was pre-
pared for him. and there are indica-
tiQns that there are surprises In store
for some OF the politicians who were
makng claims OF owning him.
i has been no secret IN ReptiblicaL
.ircIss for some time past that q CD
terie had been formed here 10 TAXA
L8rac~ NJ the new governor when ha
arrived al the capital. This coterie
was tonpcsed OF William Christy,
Postmaster McClintock, Marshal Nc
Cord. Secretary OF state Sfoddard.
Surveyor General Price. and with DR..
Ford and few others on the os1tside as
ex-of5eio members. 50 to speak. :
These gentlemen had carefully ar
ranged policy and slate for the new
executive They reasoned that he wAs
an old soldier who had never devoted
much attention to politics. and waS
unfamiliar with the ways Of politicians
and the manner of distributing patron
age. and consequently that 1t would be
a Kindness" 10 him TO fix things for
him. H
There is where the element Of dis
comes in. Brodie seems
determined to do things himself.
II is plain. TOO, that the relations be-
tween Brodie and Murphy are Tar from
mnfriendIy. and that element OF the Re-
puhlicans who thought that opposition
TO Murphy would be passport to
gloomy. Those who doubted. when
the announcement was first made, that
President Roosevelt advised Brodie to
confer with Murphy. are now believ-
ing 1t. Murphy will vacate once next
Tuesday but he will not let go of hia
grip on the Republican machine. and
there are indications that his advics
will go further with Brodie than that
of any other man In Arizona.
One gentleman here. who has been
known as the head OF the s0-eAlfed
Brodie syndicate. and who In fact
admitted II. can not conceal his dis
at the cordial relations
existing between the o%atgofns ana la
governor This gentleman sd
mitted others to the coterie that was
to take charge OF Rrcdfe only as q
matter of courtesy, He fully expected
that he would be the sole director Of
the new executive himself. and there
is reason to believe that on the
strength OF this he has many promises
OF patronage abroad. that are now Id
danger OF being dishonorcd. There
is some reason To believe thai Brudte
feels sure that had 1t not been for the
Of this gentlemans tongue.
he would have been governor OF Ari-
zona six months ago.
But the suggestive fact Ii. that
Brodie gives evidence Of an intention
to do things himself, and not to be run
by the eoterie who have been building
assurances on his presumed docillty
and non-acquaintance with practical
politics. 81.
There is no crepe out yet at any nf
the conspicuous resorts of the Murphy
ties. but on the other hand many fet
lows of the other camp are Eoia4
around wearing very long faces.
