THE OUTSIDE PUSH.

Two prominent democrats of the ma
tion,. W. j. Bryan and Mayor Rose of
Milwaukee, have entered the political
field of Arizona, so far as long range
expressions figure. Each is DESTROYS
to see Mark Smith elected as a dele
gate to congress and the democratic
press of this territory is taking up the
Wisconsin and Nebraska echo in a
wholesale manner. Theirs is but
question of the personal regard enter
tanned for the Arizonan, and it is per-
fcetly proper that such sentiments
should prevail. On the same basis so
do all Arizonans agree, so far as his
personality is to be considered. But
when it comes to question of draw
ing the line on the material advan-
tages his candidacy is to be weighed
again, and what his incumbency of
the office has given the territory in
the past the prominent non-residents
are very much in the shade, and they
are simply DESTROYS of sacrificing the
interests of this territory at the ex-
pense of genial and whole souled fell
lowsbip. Mark Smith as he is seen
from the outside is an entirely differ
ent person in his acts and considera-
lions for those on the inside officially
speaking, and none know it better
than his friends and supporters here
as we'll as elsewhere. Twelve years
delegate in congress from Arizona and
not a single dollar has he returned to
his stalwart hackers or the struggling
territory that has successfully honor
ed him. Its shame, and as far as
Mr.. Smith is to be officially consider
ed it is likewise a disgrace that he
should again be endeavoring to hood
wink a generous constituency on the
bogus scheme of striking personality.
Conditions surrounding this man in
the past will not differ any in the fu-
ture if he is elected. On the grave
question of single statehood he has
failed signally- in the past, and he
cannot in the future expect to accom-
plish what he is persistent in being an
advocate of in this CHANEL. On the
other hand his endorsement will be an
open affront to republican principles,
and Joint admission will as surely fol-
low as night does day, and that too
on strict party principles. If unfortu-
nately any action is taken on state
hood behind the representations of
this genial person, it cannot consis-
tently be disputed under the stringent
rulings of political parties of the day
that personal bypnotism will prevail
among the republican watch dogs in
the senate as to exemplify this officials
conduct as it has been reflected so
often by the Arizona voters on
straight hewed out line of democracy.
The senate will not give us Mark
Smith and single statehood, and not
withstanding the fact that Mr.. Rose
and Mr.. Bryan are sincere in their
support of this man, only the more is
Smiths candidacy to be weighed and
considered by the watchful of Arizo-
mas future. The situation is truly a
desperate one for this territory to be
placed in at this territory to be placed
IN at this particular time. We con-
scientiously believe that with Mr..
Smith officially behind this issue
joint admission is practically cement
ed.
Mayor Rose and ". j. Bryan are
but reminding the partisan fire in ad-
vocating the election of MIR. Simth,
and they will find it out if unfortu-
nately he triumphs by Arizona again
