wealthy man, a railroad builder and a good organizer. and he had been build ing his fences for months while Rodey felt secure in the belief that he would have no opposition-but the result will be construed at Washington as New Mexico's verdict against joint state hood
 The reason why this must be so is plain. MT. Rodey is the foremost cham pion of the one-state scheme. After laboring for years with great ardor for the admission of New Mexico separate ly, MT. Rodey last winter became con- vinced that there was no immediate prospect of success. He was led to believe that if New Mexico and Ari- zona would acquiesce in the arrange ment they could be admitted as one state, and he forthwith began advo- eating the scheme. The bill was passed by the house and rests in the senate. where it may be acted upon this winter. Had Mir. Rodey been re- nominated, followed by reelection, the position of the pending bill would have been greatly strengthened, although at best it would be impossible to pass it in the senate without the active sup port of President Roosevelt.
 But when MT. Rodey returns to Washington in December to complete his present term. he will find that de- feat at the hands of his party at home has deprived him of his influence in behalf of the bill. The enemies of the measure will not be slow to point out that, evidently, New Mexico is quite as much opposed to the proposed mer- ger as is Arizona, and it will be in vain for MT. Rodey to explain that his defeat was accomplished by adroit pol iticians who would be likely to be as willing as he to advocate the consol- idation of the two territories.
 And. indeed. the resolutions adopted by the republicans at Albuquerque will justify the conclusion that Mir. Rodey's position on statehood has been repudi- ated by his own constituents. The statehood plank reads:
 "Sta atehood is the most important question before the people of New Mexico at this time. Our loy- atty to the geneFe1 government our great progress in natural wealth our system of magnificent schools, our code of civil and criminal laws, our freedom from mob law, our respect for the courts. the extent of our great territory and the intelligence of our people entitle us to an equal status among the states of this union under the present name and boundaries
 On the question of jointure this reso- lution is so mild as to be almost mean ingless, to be sure, but it means, if 1t means anything. that the republi- cans Of New Mexico are opposed to being hooked up with Arizona.
 We regardl the danger of joint statehood as passed. At any rate. the pending bill can now have new life infused into it only by renewal of the statehood agita- tion in such a form as to make con gress weary and desperately anxious to get rid of the vexatious question for all time.

absence" to which the speaker alluded was during the period in which Col Wilson was in Washington and believ- ed to be battling fo.- statehood.
 Col. Wilson was sitting in front of the chairman; a delegate from Yava- pal county and those who saw his face when Chairman Baker made this in vidious comparison, said it was a study in wrath. He announced to his friends that in the course Of the day he would take occasion to reply, but he was persuaded to let the matter drop and the wrong would be righted before night in another way. It was done.
 It was believed that Judge Baker did not intend to belittle the performances of Col Wilson; that he had lost sight of him altogether when he was carried away by his zeal in behalf of MT. Smith. His utterance was. however, regarded as unfortunate and the more timorous delegates were for a time fearful of the effect that it might have upon the campaign.
 ADJUSTING THE MACHINERY.
 J. s. Robinson of Graham was made temporary secretary. It was stated in his nomination that he was an or dained minister of undehled democracy. He was permitted to take the desk and asserted his right to the place in the statement that he ha been associated with democracy from his conception to the present moment.
 The following committees were ap- pointed: Credentials Charles Hardy of Pima, T. s. Bunch of Graham. l.. Earnhart of Yavapai, George k. Tru- man of Pinal and Selim Michaelson of Maricopa; permanent organization and order of business, Lee CrandalI of Ciila, c. Timmons of Yuma, w. T. Webb of Graham, M. Drachman of Pima and G. P. Bullard of Maricopa.
 After the appointment of these com mittees there was a brief recess to en- able them to prepare their reports There were differences of opinion about how long the intermission should be. J. R. Strong of Cochise, the whole del- egation, wanted an hour that the Co., chise delegation, not having been giv- en place on either of the commit- tees, might go to dinner. No attention

The Legislature.

The republicans of Maricopa county have set an example to the whole ter ritory in the care with which they have undertaken to select a legislative ticket. Meeting on the 14th, the delegates after consulting and nominating precinct candidates adjourned the convention until the 18th instant. when the full ticket will be nominated. The chief motive which prompted this action was the desire of the Maricopa republi cans to get the very best material for the legislature When the candidates are named it is a certainty that they will be good, intelligent and represen- tative citizens. and that the chances will be in favor of their election.
 It is to be hoped that the democrats of Maricepa county. and both parties elsewhere in the territory, will be equally careful. As The Republican has often pointed out, no other nomina- tions are so much neglected as those for the legislature It has been the rule to give most of the legislative places on the tickets as sort of con- solation prize to disappointed poIid- cians-and to politicians of the scrub class, at that. The few high grade men who in each legislature have sav- ed the people of Arizona from com plete modification have been in them selves brilliant object lessons for both parties. Proper care in the nominat- ing conventions would have filled the council and house with men of equal ly high character.
 There is no reason, absolutely, why Arizona should be humiliated biennial ly by the antics of crank legislature. There is no reason why the residents of Phoenix should be compelled every two years to apologize to our thous- ands of eastern visitors for the un- couth, uneducated and bull-headed men, the small-bore politicians, the drunken sots, the demagogues, the so- cialistic ranters and the professional comprise a large proportion of the leg islative membership.
 is equal to the finest that the Unit ed States can produce. The difficulty has been to make up the legislature from this high class citizenship. The pay of a legislator is insignificant, of citizens for attendance at the capitol through the sixty day session. More over, the very probability that he would have to associate with and be dominated by the class of men we have mentioned. has prompted the good cit izen, generally, to stay out of the leg islature. But there is no reason why this state of affairs should continue Arizonians are open to appeals to their patriotism. and these appeals should be made in every county this year. If it becomes known that everywhere in the territory republicans and demo- crats are trying to nominate their best men for the Twenty third assembly, our best citizens will readily accept nominations.
 The republicans of Maricopa county have begun the good work. Their del egates propose to devote two weeks of consideration to the legislative nomi- nations. Let there be careful consid- eration in every county, by republicans and democrats, and the next legisIa- ture will be enc that Arizona can re- member with pride.

vention had been called was now talk en up--the nomination of Marcus A. Smith for delegate Col. Wilson was elevated to the stage and was intro- duced by Chairman Baker who sought to make amends for the slight he had put upon the colonel earlier in the day. He extolled his unparalleled pub lie services and intimated to the con vention that the colonel was the most distinguished statesmann he had ever personally observed descending the pike. Col Wilson accepted-the implied apology of Judge Baker and in an ad- dress of half an hour expressed disap- proval of the national republican party and the proposition to join, Arizona and New Mexico. Here he sounded the keynote of the territorial campaign. one which will be used with great ire quency in the course of the next six weeks. He said that in the event of the defeat cf MT. Smith the democratic senators wno are now standing be- tween Arizona and New Mexico would conclude that the people of this terri tory wanted no more democratic pro- tection and would cease to be the bull wark of Arizona. There was some allu- sion to this notion in the platform and
 
 had been made. There were seconding addresses by George Purdy Bullard Wiley F. Jones, also by member Of the Pima delegation, by Isaac Earth. the representative of the undaunted and "unterrible" democrats of Apache county and by Bo Whitesides of san ta Cruz. The secretary was instructed to cast the vote of the convention for Mir Smith. A period of the widest enthusiasm ensued drowning the music of the band. Mir. Smith was brought to the stage when the hilarious riot was renewed and kept up for five min utes more. MT. Smiths acknowledge ments were brief and feeling, as they always are on occasions like this.
 THE CLOSING BUSINESS.
 There were now only two things to be done, one of the ratification of the nomination of a joint councilman from Pima and SaAta Cruz and reorganiza- of the territorial committee. N. W. Bernard had been chosen as candidate for joint councilman. His nomination was ratified and the central committee was made up as follows.
