A WORTHY MAN.

The republicans of Arizona are con- fident of victory. They have made a good beginning by the selection of one of their strongest men as their candidate for delegate. The candi date, Benjamin Austin Fowler, has been resident of Phoenix and of Maricopa county since 1899. Coming with the expectation of developing fruit farm, he was early confronted with the discouraging conditions of the long south western drought. It was natural he soon became identified with the movement in Arizona look ing toward governmental development of the water supply. Elected to the legislature, he pushed through bill permitting counties to cooperate with the engineers of the geological survey. He has been the president since its organization of the Salt River Valley Water Users association has been president of the Arizona Agricultural association, has served as a member of the executive committee of the National Irrigation association, in similar capacity with the Trans Miss issippi congress and is a vice presi- dent of the American Forestry associa- tion. During the past four years he has spent much time in Washington, assisting the officials of the Geological survey iu the passage through congress of measures beneficial to the arid west with especial reference to the needs of his home community.
 The candidate was born in Ston cham, Massachusetts, December 14, 1843. During the civil war he served in Louisiana, in the signal corps un- der General Dudley, participating in the actions before Fort Hudson and at Donaldsonville. He graduated from Yale, in '68, for awhile teaching school but, for the greater part of the time before coming to Arizona asso- ciated with book publishing house, having residence at Boston, New York land Chicago. Sixteen years ago he was married to Miss Ella Frances Quinby of Medford, Mass.
 Mir. Fowler is a good and persuasive talker and has shown himself a busi- ness man sof. remarkable force. To. him is given large part of the credit for

By their actions yesterday the slogan of Yavapai democrats seems to be governed on the principle of turning down good and strong those who are endeavoring to make the court house a Port Arthur of political refuge, in one sense. On the other hand they reversed themsel yes when they picked up a retired ex-official and asked the people to sustain them in third term of sheriff for Jim Lowry. If our memory serves US right the same rule applied when Honest Old Joe Walker walked all over the convention, but he never "got there" with the assist ance of the voter.

sage by congress of a bill granting statehood to New Mexico under its present name and within its present boundaries"
 The candidacy of B. A. Fowler of Arizona, is likewise in harmony with that of MT. Andrews of. New Mexico. The former is representative of the material interests of his country, and especially is he an advocate of single statehood in a clean and open manner. On the other hand, RO6ey of New Mexico, the bolter, and Mark Smith of Arizona, the triokster, are each playing game of duplicity, and in which Smith is proven to be the ignorant dupe of the New Mexican that is running as an independent. plainer proposition was never before placed before the voter, and in which also is the sacrificing AriZonian to be bantered with unscrupulously by the designing. The telegram of Mark Smith to his legislative steerer atPhoe- nix is an evident fact of insincerity, and if it were not so, why has such been screened from the public. The publicans of Arizona and New Mex ico are earnest in tbeir advocacy of single statehood, and if such cannot be secured, the identity of each is de- manded to remain as it is. At this particular time, both territories are Loyalty harboring principles that are to be sacredly copsidered on a vital question. The repudiation of Rodey, is equivalent to declaration of man hood from the New Mexicans. The endorsement of Smith by Arizona democrats conclusively links Rodey to the Arioznan in all matters affect ing the congressional filth of state hood. Mr. Smith will endeavor to dissipate the voter from this stand, but the fact remains nevertheless that the Arizona candidate is in a small hole and out of which he is endeavor- ing to crawl by having cinch on not being exposed through trusty sources that have his telegram endorsing the action of the late legislative council of this territory or joint statehood.
 It is time that the territory of Arizona relegated this designing politician to a place of obscurity. Smith made a mistake and he knows it. Rodey of New Mexico, likewise, and he was set aside. Arizona en- 1orses Rodey practically by renomi- hating Smith. If dishonesty and cunning goes for anything in Ahzona, Fowler should be elected, as the next delegate from this territory. If not, the territory will again be up against it, as it has been many times in the past, and on occasions also, that have made it pay very dear for the exper- fence.

The national wing of democracy is coughing itself to death on the pen sion methods of the republican party, while Yavapai democrats are bucking that principle to a fine finish in an effort to place Jim Lowry's name on the county's pension roll for another term, making it six years in all. Accordingly MT. Lowry should travel under the banner of imperialism and with vengeance at that.

Eugene S. Ives, late of the council, the author of that famous statehood resolution Greaserizing Arizona with New Mexico, was viistor to Prescott yesterday.

RODEY'S REBELLION.

Our dispatches from Las Vegas bring the startling news that the proposi- tion of joint statehood with Arizona is a stern reality, not himsy theory. The action of Delegate Rodey in seced- ing from the party that has honored him with the highest office within its gift in an attempt to thwart what every loyal republican in our sister territory believes is a sacred right, is sanctioned to an extent more or less apparent, by the open declaration of some republicans of San Miguel county, supported by Mir. Rodey him. self, that they will bolt the regular republican nominee, MT. Andrews, and support the candidacy of MT. Rodey.
 This brings the question of state hood down to point that admits of no controversy whatever so far as the loyalty of New Mexico republicans is concerned on the question of single statehood for each territory, and link ed to the issue that confronts each commonwealth the republicans of Arizona are in hearty accord with the brethren of New Mexico. The repub- lican territorial convention of New Mexico "got onto'' itself, in other words the treachery of Rodey is ex- emplifed, and in this connection it is a notorious fact that he, practical Iy. vas the author of the merger scheme. and that Mark Smith was by no means an innocent party to it. Hence the telegram to Senator Ives and the notorious Ives resolution in the late session of the territorial coun- ciI of Arizona, wherein the Arizona delegate was simply "hop headed by the willy delegate from Ne" Mexico, Mir. Rodey. The trick is palpably plain, and it is no plainer on the other hand also, that Arizona was elegantly sIuiced and buncoed through the tao tics of the cunning New Mexican, who now is endeavoring to thwart the aims of his contituency, just like Mark Smith in Arizona is attempting to hoodwink the sacred question of single statehood. sete t
 Nr. Andrews, the regular nominee of the republicans of New Mexico, for delegate to congress, is emphatic ip his letter of acceptance ofsthe nom- nation. and in speaking of the state hood question is honest and sincere. He says:

Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1904-09-28

And it came to pass that Mark Smith also sent a telegram, but from the silence on the subject matter it con- tained and the manner in which the attitude of Mark Smith is being nurs- ed Mir Ives is either afraid of himself or Mark Smith is treacherously with holding from single statehooders material evidence of insincerity. In other words both are standing pat.

Mir. Parker says in his letter of acceptance: ''I solicit the cordial cooperation and generous support of every man. Billy Bryan said the same, but he got gold brick in Pal mer and Buckner. It is now in order for the silver democrats behind Bryan to throw a 16 to 1 slug into MT. Park CT and it is very probable that "tit for tat" will prevail to this end.

Did anybody say anything about free silver at this convention? Bryan was there on the wall as a side issue, but nobody dared to open his mouth over the way the sivlerite was recent ly crucifed. The Parker democrats were in the convention saddle and some Hearst nominees for office are evidently aware of that fact also. They feel like Charley Hosses. ''
