Wood on Primaries.
SoCKLEss BILL.

Concerning the circular letter
being sent out over the state by
Gov. Davis, in which he charges
that the politicians will try to de.
feat him by convention. Judge
Wood, his most serious opponent
go far, says:
my attention has been recent
Iy called to a circular letter sent
out by Gov. Davis to the central
committeeman and others over
the state, to which he charges
that certain politicians of Little
Rock are endeavoring to have the
primary election system abol-
ished, and to substitute therefor
the convention, hoping thereby
to gain some advantage over him.
I don't concoct schemes myself,
and am not in touch with any
politicians who do. | am satis-
fed that there is no foundation
for this charge, but that it origin
ated with Gov. Davis himself for
political capital, He is seeking
by this to make it appear that the
politicians of Little Rock are
against him and are trying to ex-
tend their influence over the en-
tire state. This would be bolc
{ presumption, indeed, if it were
true, and, while | am not idenri-
> fed with the politicians of Little
Rock, the absurdity of such q
step is 80 evident that it does no.
deserve serious thought.
~ desire you to know that I ar
a candidate for governor on my
own responsibility and on my owl
merits, if have any, and nc
man, nor ring, nor set of men,
has, or ever will have, any
strings on me. desire my claims
submitted to the democratic voters
Of the state, but would not pre-
sume TO dictate to you how the
will of the voters shall be sX-
pressed. That is your business
not mine. While personally pre-
} ferring primary elections, | shall,
; nevertheless, not question your
} motive or your integrity, if you,
| representing the party organiza- =
ton in your county, determine
otherwise, I earnestly request
this, tha you do see that there is

Jvdse clnrx's Radical View.

Chief Justice Walter Clark, OF
North Carolina, who is under
stood to be the choice of Col.
Bryan for president, certainly has
some radical views with reference
to appointments and elections.
An address recently delivered by
him touching this matter was pub
lished in the Democrat Saturday
He believes in the election of all
public officers. Even postmas-
ters and federal judges should be
elected by the people according
to his theory. Undoubtedly there
have been so many serious abuses
in the various departments where
positions are filled by appoint
ment that feeling of resent
ment is the natural consequence,
The people have been misled and
their rights curtailed. 1t is no
wonder that a feeling should ex.
ist in favor of fewer appoint
ments and more elections. New
ertheless it would be impractica. .
BILE to elect all the officers who
serve the public. Judge Clark s
position is too radical and will
not meet with general endorse
ment.-Arkansas Democrat.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-01-09

The river narrows between rock walls, about two hundred feet apart, and a dam one hundred feet high would form a vast lake, sufficient to irrigate. thousands upon thousands of acres of fertile land.
 There is no question about the San Pedro valley being an admirable place for the reclamation of land by govern ment irrigation aid. There is no more productive land to be found anywhere; this has been thoroughly demon strated by the work already done.
 The people of the valley were wise in forming an organization through which the favorable conditions may be presented to the government officials who are in charge of the reclamation work lately undertaken by the govern ment, as it is pretty safe rule that those who try to help themselves are more likely to receive help than those who make no effort to better their con- dition. It will be necessary for such organization in all the districts where aid is to be invoked in the work of water storage for irrigation. In the Salt River valley a consolidation of all the canal interests is being perfected, so that the government may be as sured that it furnishes no water for speculative purposes. The same move will have to be made wherever assist ance is asked. The government need never be expected to store water and allow old canal companies to handle or have any interest in it. The people of the San Pedro valley are on the right track and We wish them success in their laudable undertaking.
 The people of the Gila valley in Graham county would do well to take some steps in the way of organization. There is splendid site for a reser- voir dam at Guthrie in the Gila valley that would store enough water to irri- gate every acre Of valley and mesa land between the narrows above Solo knoxville and the narrows below San Carlos, a distance of seventy miles.

The Arizona legislature will convene at Phoenix on Monday, January 18th. Besides the members there will no doubt be a large attendance of politi- clans and public men from every sec ton of the territory. There will also be a considerable sprinkhn' of those who want a clerkship or other legisla- ture job. Phoenix will no doubt be in it's most receptive mood and will ex- tend the glad hand to one and all. The eight hour law, the railroad freight and fare bill and the mine inspector bill, will no doubt make the session a lively one from start to finish

Eastern papers are now discussing he recent visit of Arthur P. German of Maryland to New York, the silent Marylander" having spent the holidays in the metropolis. It is said that dur ing his visit, which he declared was 6 simple pleasure trip, he was called on by many of the leading democrats of the state Democrats known to be very close to W. c. Whitney were very attentive to Mr German, and many Hill men were closeted with German at various times. The German boom is believed to be in process of forma- ton. It is claimed that the Hill boom is showing evident signs of inactivity and that in the next national demo- cratic convention MT. German may be backed by the great state of New
 York. Either German or Hill, we be- lieve, would receive loyal support from the democrats of the west, not withstanding the bitter animosfty of
 MT. Bryan towards the New York man. In the Kansas City convention it was demonstrated that Hill has en- thusiastic admirers throughout the country.

In case the statehood bill fails of passage then the Arizona legislature must take up the work of providing an equitable legislative apportionment in this territory. Cochise and Ora ham counties will both demand that a new apporticnment be made which will give them their rights, in accordance with their population and wealth. The apportionment should be made on the basis of the last registration.

TRIcKERY BECOMING PLAIN

In the fifty working days which re- main for the transaction of business by the Fifty-seventh Congress there is a strong likelihood that the republican farce of antitrust legislation will be- come so apparent as to enlighten even the dullest mind to the truth that the entire movement is pure bunko
 Many other important matters await the attention of the short session, yet it is certain that the bluff game of re publican opposition to the trusts is to be played for all it is worth. There is, however, something almost amusing in the fact that, with the most earnest intent 10 fool the people, the republi- can congress is getting tangled up in it's own trickery. A conflict between the senate and the house as to the merits of respective antitrust bills is now among the probabilities of the sit uation. There is bound to be consid- erable difficulty, you must know, in passing a bill which shall be sufficient ly vigorous in its provisions to hood wink the public and yet be safely guar anteed not to contain the faintest menase of injury to the trusts.
 In the event of the passage of an anti trust bill satisfactory to the trusts the republican managers will enter the presidential campaign with a mighty hulIabaloo of republican ser vice against the trusts in behalf of the people" They and their orators and organs will point with pride" to the antitrust legislation enacted by a re- publican congress, carefully endeavor- ing to conceal the fact that the evil power of the trusts has not been re- stricted in the slightest degree by means of such legislation The sole purpose of the game now being played by the republican majority in congress is that of lodging the trust issue in next years political conflict.
 Nevertheless. they must face that is- sue. The battle of 1904 will. be fought on the issue of tariff reform.
 which in itself contains the necessary elements of trust re- Istriction. The monopoly combines will be dominant in the republican party next year just as they are today, i laughing at antitrust legislation. which
 was warranted in advance to leave the
 trusts absolutely unscathed On the is
 sue of tariff reform American voters
 must pass judgment with full un. derstanding of the truth that a revis
 ion Of the tariff offers the first ana
 simplest means of reaching and cor
 recting the evil that exists in the trus
 system. The result should be a Demo cratic victory which will relieve tn, people of the high tariff burden and a , the same time eliminate the maljgnan possibilities of trustism.-RepubIic.
