Bisbee daily review., 1904-11-01

Will somebody please sympathize with Charlie Akers, the originator of Fowler clubs? Read the following from the Globe Belt:
 Ex-Secretary of the Territory Chas. H. Akers, who is doing a pokti- cal stunt, organizing Fowler clubs in the several counties, arrived in town last Friday night with the intention of organizing a club here in the interest of the Republican candidate for con gress, but he met with so little en- couragement from influential Republi- cans that he concluded it wasn't worth while to waste time in Globe. SO took his departure on the train next morning"

Nearly all visitors from the west ern territories bring back the news that Marcus A. Smith, Of Tucson, is going to be elected to his old position of delegate in congress from Arizona. This is agreeable tidings at Washing ton, where he stayed so long in a representative capacity from that ter ritory, that he became a more famil- far figure than most congressmen from fulI-fledged states. In fact, the names of Mark Smith and Arizona are so thoroughly associated that it seems odd to think of the latter as having any other delegate. No other man probably ever served so many years in the aggregate as a territorial con- gressman as this popular member of the universal Smith family. That his constituents kept sending him back term after term was the highest com phment to his worth and ability Washington Post.

heaping upon their already discrerit- ed party in Arizona.
 The issue in Arizona is statehood as 1t has been for twenty years, and as it will remain the issue until this terri tory is given the right of self-govern- ment and a government of its own. The republican party has kept the ter ritory out of the union for no other reason than because the controlling influences in the east, including the bined in the trusts oppose any more legislative power being granted to the west. The same influences opposed the national irrigation law because they fear the growth of the west where they know the sentiment is strong for Q government which will guarantee absolute rights to all be- fore the law and under the law and government which will be under the rule of the people instead of the rule of the trusts. now in absolute control of the republican party.
 Three times has the Arizona state hood bill been passed by the lower house of congress when Mark Smith was our delegate and three times have the republican leaders denied state hood 10 Arizona in the senate and now the policy of the republican party is to bury the democratic vote of Ari- zona by merging the territory into statehood as a part of New Mexico. Does a party which has kept Arizona away from statehood so long and sc determindedly and which now pro- poses to rob the people of their her itage by attaching the territory as a county in the state of New Mexico de- serve anything but defeat in this ter ritory and that without regard to the personality of the candidate? Fair minded men would say that the re- publican party deserves defeat in Ari- zona now and forever. if the republi- cans continue their hostile policy to- wards our brave. industrious and in- telligent citizenship
 In the sweat and toll endured be- meath an Arizona sun and facing the dangers of this savage-ridden land the pioneers Of Arizona have devel- oped the resources of this fair land and invited a citizenship which will compare with any state of the union. The people here have built up Arizona to meet every requirement that has ever before in the past been asked of any other territory when it applied for admiss ion as state and they have been denied consideration by the republican party and they will not now lick the hand that has smitten them continually for fifteen years.
Bisbee daily review., 1904-11-01

Says the Globe Belt: Frank M. Murphy, in his speech at the Fowler meeting in Prescott, stated that he was opposed to the admission of Ari- zona as a state at this time. It will be remmebered that many months ago Judge Wm. Herring, of Tucson, declared that congress and the ad- ministration were justified in oppos- ing Arizona's claim to statehood. Col. Allen T. Bird, the Republican leader, of Nogales, favors the joint statehood bill, and other prominent Republicans of the territory either excuse the stand of their party in the east on the question, or else openly approve it. The fact is, that the Republicans of Arizona have not been honest in ad- vocatiug statehood. They would sacrifice the just claims and best in- terests of Arizona for the success oi their party in national politics. They are satisfied with the crumbs thrown to them in the shape of federal pat onage"

FOOLISH FIGURING

This Phoenix Enterprise has been figuring on the result of the campaign now going on between Mark Smith and B. A. Fowler in Arizona. The Ga zette starts out by saying that in the north Coconino, Navajo and Apache counties are sure to give Fowler majorities. The fact is that Apache county may give Fowler a small ma jority, but Mark will carry both Co., conino and Mojave. The Enterprise places Mohave in the doubtful column when it is known that it will be for Smith. Yayapai is claimed for Fow- Ter by 300, Maricopa by 200 and Pima by 200. Ma=icora is conceded to be close. but Pima is sure to give dem- ocratic majority.
 The Gazette comedies Smith majori- ties of 25O in each of the counties of Graham and Cochise and after going over all the counties in the territories. Admitting that the Gazette's figures were correct in all the counties except Graham and Cochise, NIT. Fowler is up a tree in this race as Cochise and Graham counties will give a com bined majority of not less than 200.
 Now since the Gazette has shot its forecast bolt we will risk an estimate of the final result.
 MARK SMITH WILL BE ELECT ED BY FIFTEEN HUNDRED MA .JORITY.

Please allow the a nttle space In your

the SO called pc ition tor the prohibiting
of the ssle OF cigarettes to minors that Is

They have been coming to the writer
from different parts of the county for the
past three Yeas, and as they still con-
tinue TO come OF course the writers are
ignorant OF the fact that there is no such

the W. G. T. U had investigated the mat
ter, and that no such league wss In .x-
istence, and that Philadelphia was being

rived at as to the object OF the scheme was
to obtain addresses for the distribution OF

Death of senator Hanna.

The death of Senator Marcus A.
Hanna, of Ohio, which took place at
Washington last Monday night at the
age of sixty six years, removes from
the field of American politics a most
striking and forceful figure.
1t is doubtful If any man in the
history of the country ever entered
politics so late in life, and so quickly
acquired, and maintained to the last SC
powerful an influence in national pol
itics as did Senator Hanna.
He began life poor boy, acquired
wealth by hard work, good judgment
and strict integrity, and when he
entered the arena of politics few
years ago he was well equipped to
deal with men and measures.
Because he was wealthy he was
charged from the beginning of his
political career with using it with
mercenary motives, but, uninfluenced
by bitter attacks, he kept right on in
the path he had mapped out for him
self.
In spite of political animosities, he
was held in high esteem for his many
charming personal qualities.
The brilliant campaigns of 1896 and
1900, when he was chairman of the
republican national committee, will
long be remembered.
He succeeded the late John Sher-
man as senator from Ohio in 1897.
His course in Washington was on
lofty plane of craftsmanship, max
ing him trusted by the country, and
loved and admired as are few men in
public life. In his death, not only the
republican party, but the whole
nation suffers a severe loss, and all
recognize that leader is gone, whom
it will be most difficult to replace.
