Hon. M, A. Smith
 Returns to Arizona
TELLS OF GOOD WORK DONE BY ARIZONA DELEGATION AT
 ST. LOUIS.
Predicts That Parker and Davis Will
 Be Elected, and Names the States That They WEI Carry in November.

IT. an interview with the Tucson Citizen. Mark Smith, the veteran Ari- zona leader. after an absence of two months in the east, tells of his i'm pressions:
 During my absence" said Mir. Smith. T attended the St. Louis con- venjion. visited my old home in Ken lucky. made short stay in Washing ton. New York and Indiana. and at tended the notification of Judge Parker at his home at Esopus.
 The Democratic Presidential can didate.' continued Mir. Smith, ''is fine wholesome specimen Of the genuine American He is more than six feet tall. red headed. blue eyed. self con tained. affable. able. cheerful. and l believe just about as stubborn as 1 Cleveland. He is a serious states man. who fully realizes the Tesponsi- bilities that have been placed on him, and while he carries with him natural dignity. perhaps somewhat enhanced by his long service on the bench, still he is one of the most apprcachable men and never beJrays the ungentle manly trait of taking his own person. ality too seriously.
 Tn New York I found the Democrats more hopeful, better organized. better equipped for the fight than at any time since 1892. Tammany is loyal and will fight fair You know, Tammany's chief asset is it's regularity. and its never failing effort to fight the enemy at all times. Sometimes the up State Democratic leaders, as a matter of policy. try 10 cast suspicion on Tam many.

When the votes are counted in November if there is not a Democratic majority of 125.OO0 in 1 Greater New York. I will be much | disappointed man.
 "'The Republican leaders privately
 admit that they have little hope of car rying New York State, and conserva-
 tive Democrats who have their hands on the situation told me with absolute 1 confidence that Parker would beat
 Roosevelt in New York State by more
 than 5O,000 majority The Democratic
 managers. too, feel certain of carry
 ing New Jersey and Connecticut and
 are going to make hard fight in
 Rhode island, where the prospects
 are encouraging. have no doubt
 that Delaware. Maryland and West Virginia will be safely anchored in the
 Democratic mooring, and from what l
 learn in Indiana during a two weeks
 stay in the State. the Democrats have
 all the confidence and the Republicans all the apprehension.
 The Democratic national conven- ton was the greatest deliberative body I ever witnessed. Nothing was cut and dried. Everything that was done was i the result of deliberation, give and
 take. and the yielding of the minor | ity and majority elements to each other after full and ample discussion. ! There was never any doubt of Parker's nomination from the time the conven- ! ton convened. An overwhelming majority of the delegates went there , to nominate Parker and the minority i yielded gracefully. Mr Hearst had many loyal supporters, and has no req i son to complain of the fidelity of his ' friends. Tn this connection I want to , say that no political division in the United States was more ably or Joy ally represented than Arizona. The delegates from this Territory felt tha:
