with Mr.. Roosevelt's New York friends
notwithstanding the strong support
which. Secretary Stoddard has been
receiving from the leaders of the re-
publican party in New York-Senator
Thomas &. Plat, Governor Benjamin
Il. Odell, Col. Dunn. chairman of the
state committee, and Judge Martin, of
the court of appeals and notwithstand =
ing the defense put up by the secretary
himself, the local assumption has been
that no territorial official, however,
powerful, could withstand open opposi-
ton from the governor. Accordingly,
both the friends and the enemies of
Mr. Stoddard will be surprised if he
is able to retain his office, if the case
has narrowed to a contest between
him and Governor Brodie.
There is a considerable amount OF
speculation as to Mr. StOddard's sue
cessor. in case he is removed. The
candidate who is thought most likely
to succeed him is Mr.. Garrett T. Ryan,
although not a few pin their faith on
the success of George Wilcox of Tomb
stone, formerly lieutenant in the
Rough Riders and now a clerk of the
district court of Cochise county. Mr..
Ryan who is about thirty years of
age, came to Phoenix year ago, from
the Argentine Republic, where he has
extensive land and livestock interests.
Some years ago he went to South
America from Philadelphia, and he
left Argentina and came to Arizona on
account of impaired health. During
his absence from Pennsylvania he has
kept in touch with home affairs, how
ever and for the appointment to be
secretary of Arizona he has the sup
port Of United States Senators Mat
they s. Quay and Roies Penrose of
Pennsylvania and, it is said, the sup
port of Senator BeVeridge of Indiana,
also. Mr.. Ryan was-in business for Il
while in indianapolis, where he made
the acquaintance of the Junior senator
from that state. Among his Arizona
acquaintances Mr.. Ryan has become
very popular. The predictions that
Wilcox will land the appointment are
based on Mr.. Roosevelts we'll known
partiality for him. Among the many
Arizona Rough Riders for whom the
president has a personal fondneSs, it is
said that Wilcox stands among the
first There is some speculation, also
as to where Governor Brodie's choice
will fall as between Ryan and Wilcox
1t is understood that Mr.. Ryan had d
very interesting interview with the
governor, a few days ago

A STRONG STAFF.
The Power of Pure Food.

Some years ago when we lived in
of our little ones during the hot
weather.
when we moved to Vineland. N. J..
we made the acquaintance of the food
Grape Nuts. 1t was here that our little
girl. Majuba. was born, but she was so
would lose her as we had the other
babies When she was eight months
old we learned about Grape-Nuts and
began feeding her this food, and now
wherever she goes our friends feel her
arms she is so plump and her flesh is
so firm.
Il am convinced that Grape-Nuts,
with little white sugar and boiling
water would save many a poor baby's
life during the hot weather when milk
is sour and the little ones suffer most.
After seeing the power of Grape
Nuts upon our little girl, my husband
began its use and all last summer
when we lived al Essington, Pa. he eat
Grape-Nuts and no meat. Although
he was working at the hardest laboring
work, digging bitches, all this time he
felt strong and we'll without the meat
just SO long as he had Grape-Nuts.' -

THE MERGER CASE
u. S. Supreme Court Nov.
ed to Dismiss Appeal
1t is Conten6ed by the Securities Com
paDy That There Was Nothing to
Appeal Upon.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Counsel for
the Northern Securities company filed
a motion in the United States supreme
court 10 dismiss the appeal of the state
o. Minnesota from the decision of the
United States circuit court Of Mime
srta in the case of that state versus
the Securities company. The motion
is made on the ground that no ques-
tion - constitutional construction Is
involved in the case, and therefore no
direct appeal from the circuit court
10 the United States supreme court is
permissible.
In support Of the motion counsel con-
tend that while the suit was founded
on federal as we'll as state statutes,
no one Of the rulings of the circuit
court involved the construction or ap-
plication of the federal constitution.
They add: ITO warrant a direct APP
peal from the circuit court to the su-
preme court on constitutional grounds
the case must involve a constitutional
question really and substantially and
not imaginative. 1t is not enough that
the case involves a federal question,
and it was properly brought into the
circuit court as case arising under
the laws CT the United States. The
constitution. in its construction or ap-
plication, must be involved. The sole
question is whether direct appeal can
he taken from the circuit court to the
supreme court.
"It is not material that a constitu-
tiCnal question might have been raised
here by the appellees mad they been
defeated below, or, if some different
decision had been made in the case. a
constitutional question might have be-
come involved.
"a decision OF this court has settled
that a constitutional question must be
in the case actually and not potenti-
ally; that is, that the question must
have been directly decided by the
lower courts or have been necessariiv
involved in what it was decided upon.
