"If the Republicans had tackled

Nothing can save the State election

struggling homeowner in the town

TRUE As GOSPEL

The Tombstone Prospector truly says: There is no place in politics for personal malice and spite. It is seldom that spite and revenge win victory, and when they de 1t is a victory that were better not won. The man who places his personal grievances above his party's interest does not last long in politics or remain in any party very long7 The fore- going is doctrine which THa OAsIs has advocated through many years. And this paper is just as earnest in that belief as ever. The true patriot is Q partisan because in the contrast of contending principles and policies those of one party ap- peal to his mind as better fitted for government of the nation. the state Cor territory) and the county. Honestly believing SO. he should be constant in the support of the party maintaining those principles
 -and particularly is this true If he be man who aspires 10 party leadership; and the attitude Of the party toward him, or his personal. grievances should cut no figure in his support of the party and its principles and politics; for no man can set up himself as greater and wiser than his party When one follows any other course, he imme- diatelv becomes viewed with sus- picion by his fellow citizens as self seeker, whose aim is to secure office for himself rather than one who is looking to the public vel. fare, giving constant allegiance toI a party because he believes the as- cendancy of that party more con- ducive to public welfare than that of any other

4 PERTINENT ENQUIRY

From Colorado come continued reports of deportation of citizens implicated in labor troubles in that unfortunate state, that cul-. minated some weeks ago in the frightful wrecking by dynamite Of a railway station; with the conse- quent horror of blowing to atoms score of non-union miners, and mangling of another score The Citizens Alliance, an organization opposed to the Western Federation of Miners, aided by the military arm of the government, seems to have the situation in hand, anu as long as martial law prevails, they can maintain q semblance of peace; for under the stress Of martial law many things can be done toward necessary preservation Of order that would not be tolerated under any other condition. But when martial law terminates, and the Citizens Alliance continues 10 maintain its ascendancy, keeping out of the affected districts walking delegates and soeialistic, anarchis- tic labor agitators, which they must do if order $ maintained and conditions necessary for industrial peace are continued. t will be but the rule of Q force extraneous of and above the law, which will be as much out of place as the reign of terror inaugurated and con dacSed by the Western Federation rof Miners.

There anpihe point Bhle
 fns Obsh ~ partisan uewspap
 has alwaya maintained, and lhel is Chat the individual within the party who aspires Co leadership. should apply tho same principle dilated upon in the preceding para graph. In making up party tickets and nominations there should al ways be every effort to draw all the party elements together, and give to each element due oonsidera~
 ton. The policy should be one Of give and take. Of course be- tween two men within tue party
 both aspiring to the same nomina- tion there must be made choice. and it is the right and duty of every ono exercising voice in naming the candidate 10 exercise such choice, in making which in- dividual views of availability, capa- city and party fealty have ] right to be considered; yet when tue nomination k made, the sense Of the majority should rightfully bo accepted and Loyalty supported by those who opposed it n conven- tion. But where men go into convention and work before con- vention assemblies against granting recognition asked for a faithful party worker with no better aspir~ ant for the recognition proposed as has frequently been the case in Arizona there enters that very element of personal malice and spite against which the Tombstone contemporary quoted inveighs.
 Party devotion is and should be above personal consideration-that has been always the attitude of THE 0AsIs, and 1t will continue so 70 be. And it stands and pleads for the adoption ~ that rule of conduct by all the elements within the Republican party in Santa Cruz county. With that, with < platform pledged to a reduction of taxation, reduction of salaries of county officers, and a return 10 school terms of nine months, with nominees whose characters are guaranties that the platform will be carried out, the Republican ticket can be elected in Santa Cruz county next fall.
