A REFORM BADLY NEEDED

The Maricopa county democrats, in convention at Phoenix last Monday, incorporated in their platform the fol lowing resolution: "We favor the en- actment of an adequate primary cleo ton law, which will insure the same safeguards against corruption in con tests within the parties as is offered by the Australian ballot system in the case of general election.
 We think that every good citizen who has observed the manner in which primary elections are generally con ducted in Arizona will agree that re- form is greatly needed, and will en- dorse the resolution of the Maricopa county democra's above quoted.
 The democratic primary in Globe has been going from bad to worse for the past several elections, nntil as now conducted, the result cannot be said to voice the will of the majority of the bona tide democratic voters in the pre- cinot. The primary is organized and run in the interest of the leading can didate for some important of1ice-gen- orally that of sheritf-and the inter ests of the candidates for all other of fees are made subser vient, if not en- tirely ignored.
 We maintain ,hat such proceeding is an insult to the intelligent and self respecting voter, who is deprived by a self-seeking ring of politicians from ex- pressing his prefersnce, except as be- tween the opposing candidates whose names head the respective ticAets of fered him to vote. It debases the franchise and disgraces the party that resorts to or permits such disreputable methods to be used.
 Primary elections are oftentimes of ss great importance as the general cleo ton, and where one party is largely in the majority, the primary very often determines who are to fill the county offices. There should, therefore, be legal restrictions which would protect the franchise and insure as nearly as possible fairness to every aspirant for a nomination. The laws and regula- tions in regard to primaries should be as strict as are those governing general elections. All parties should be re- quired by law to hold their primaries on the same day, vote at the sane polls and under the supervision of one and the same election board. If some such law, embodying these and other regulations, were enacted and put in force we would have more decent poll tics, less factional discord within the respective parties and more men of character and better qualifications as aspirsnts for public office.

Traffic Suspended on the Santa Fe

A press dispatch from Ash Fork, Ariz., dated the 22nd lnst., says:
 Traffic On the main line of the Santa Fe road is again completely tied up. A severe washout occurred at 5:3O this afternoon near Peach Springs, and all trains are being held at this point. Heavy rains and the cloudburst of last week washed out a large portion of the roadbed in the vicinity of Kingman, and at other points in the immediate vicinity, and the downpour evidently wrecked the temporary repairs. Passengers on No. ' will remain at this point for an in. definite period.

NEW YORK, July 16.-After one
of the most picturesquely unique po-
litical conventions ever held in this
country, the Socialist Labor party
has begun quiet campaign with
Charles Fl. Corregan, printer, as
their candidate for the presidency,
and William II. Cox, a miner, for
vice president.
The convention was held in the
Grand Central palace and the dele
gates attended the sessions accom-
panied by their wives and children
Not for an instant did any one of the
speakers allow himself to look pessi-
mistically upon the situation, and
the nominations were made amid
more enthusiasm than was exhibited
in the convention at Chicago
After he had been named, Corre-
gan was led to the platform amid
cries of Speech" He was in his
shirt sleeves. He is a tall man of
giant build and went at his orator.
ical task in much the same way as he
would lift a form Of type from a
composing table. This convention"
he said, represents the people OF
the country. You have made me
your representative and | thank you.
We have had no great speeches here
to fire the enthusiasm for one man,
as a candidate; weehaye had no
slate and we have no factions. We
all stand on the same footing for the
same good cause"
Corregan was born in Oswego, N.
Y, AZ years ago. He. is of irish des-
cent His father, William II. was a
tailor.
For twenty years Corregan worked
as a compositor in the job printing
offices of Syracuse. That was his
business until about one year ago,
when the typographical union took
his card away from him.
That action grew out of speech
that Corregan made in the market
square in which he denounced the
Syracuse printers as Tabor fakirs. :"
For this he was fined $500 by the
union. He refused to pay There

The charge against Sinha was that
he had attempted to assault a young

that he walked home near the young
lady on several occasions was shown
to be merely coincidence. Judge
George discharged the defendant.
Sinha alleges that he was confined
in a filthy and loathsome cell In the

products, though vegetables of all
kinds are plentiful. There is a scar

Strawberries are practically out
of the market, though q few boxes
are arriving daily from Fox island.
