Statement by f. W. Hoch.
Marion, Kan. Feb. 1.-The present
contest insitie the republican party Is
o contest between methods and not q
contest between men. 1t is impersonal.
Ii relates to party management and
state policies, and not to individuals.
Candidates arc mere incidents. They
are comparatively unimportant. The
withdrawal of Mr.. Bailey, therefore,
docs not settle the issues involved.
This movement cannot triumph in the
selection Of candidate alone. The
PRONUNCIATION of party principles and
the control ofparty machinery by those
in sympathy with this movement must
be complete to give 1t fairest and
fullest expression. When the victory
is thus crystallized the greatest possible
kindness and generosity should be
shown to those who have opposed the
movement, but till then there must be
no concession of effort to change the
policies complained of. Personally I
have everywhere urged my friends to
say no unkind thing Of Mr.. Bailey,
and in all my speeches and letters I
have carefully refrained from personal
criticism. But his withdrawal leaves
the issue as before, and the friends of
this movement should not relax vigil
lance or effort until the state conven-
ton has registered their will as to can
didates. Let only delegates in real
sympathy with the reforms this move
ment represents be sent from various
counties to the state convention.

ON THEATER
BUSINESS

W. NJ. Workman, of San Francisco,
representing the Pacific Coast Drama
tic and Vaudeville Exchange, was in
Prescott yesterday, going to Phenix
on last nights train. Mr.. Workman
has been in the theatrical business for
over twenty five years and his visit to
Prescott and other points in Arizona
is for the purpose of arranging a cir
cult for theatrical troupes. He had a
long interview with j. P. Dillon and
assured the latter that he would be
able to furnish first class attraction
for the opening of the Elks' opera
house as soon as it is completed. Mr..
Workman was formerly manager Of
Washington Park, Ell Paso, also of the
Earl theater, Pueblo, Colorado, and
is an old time musical director, hav-
ing been connected with some of the
best musical companies on the road.
He is the bearer of excellent recon-
mendations and will no doubt be able
to do just what he says. He says that
if he does any business in Prescott the
people here may depend upon him
giving them their moneys worth in
every particular. He says he will not
bill cheap company at high price
rate of admission but prices will be
governed entirely by the merit of the
company, and that business will be
maintained to the standard of other
towns. He will visit a number of
other towns in the territory for the
purpose of establishing circuit for
his attractions which embrace dramat-
ic, vaudeville and ,yceum work.
Apropos of his visit here the Elks
are making strenuous efforts to have
their opera house comp Ieted in time
to have their opening during the holt
day season if possible but an at any
rate by early in January.

DEATH OF
SPADIN0

Adolf Spadino who was suddenly
stricken on Montezuma street on Sun
day evening, died at the hospital on
Tuesday afternoon without regaining
consciousness. The cause of his fall
is supposed to have been heart trouble
and in the fall on the cement sidewalk
his skull was fractured and portion
of the bone was pressed into the brain.
The only signs of consciousness mani
tested by him after the accident was
on Tuesday morning when his partner,
F. G. Capucetti took him by the hand
and Spadino responded by pressing
his hand and apparently attempting
to speak but was unable to articulate.
Deceased was a single man about
forty years old and was universally
liked by all who knew him. He had
resided in Prescott about three years,
coming here from Los Angeles. He
was an artist by profession and follow
ed this calling prior to coming to
Arizona, and had considerable ability
in this line. He has a sister, also
sister in law and several nephews and
nieces in st. Paul, Mimi, who have
been notified of his death.
He was a native of Switzerland but
bad resided In the United States ever
since he was small bow coming to
this country with his pareats.
Pending the recein' # word from
his relatives, also fraAi some 10 lges
to which he belonged - Los Angeles,
no definite arrangements have been
made about the FL ccral. He was
member of a lodge of Hermann's Sons,
also of the Foresters of America in
Los Angeles.

ent public. The Gentry Brothers.
shows have millions of admirers with
whom their popularity is deep rooted
and who will prevent animal actinS
from becoming lost art. The Gem
try's have dogs, ponies, monkeys, eIe-
plants and camels galore who do
everything except actually talk, and
if science and further development can
accomplish this we shall yet see our
dumb friends passing the compliments
of the season with each other and dis
cussing the condition of the weather.
To many this statement will appear
absurd, and literally speaking it is
so, but the idea meant to be conveyed
is that the Gentry Bros. have the
largest collection and most intelligent
number Of animal performers in the
world. Their No. l show favors this

the oldest and largest of all the Gen.

A SOUVENIR
OF THE FLOOD

The Las Vegas Optic of October Sth,
have very interesting account of the
floor situation at that place as we'll as
of the flood bound passengers, who
were held there from September % to
October 8. Dixon Fagerberg, who
was one of the $50 food bound pas
sengers has receive 1 copy Of the pa
per. Prior to resuming their journey
the passengers organized the Las We
gas Flood association electing regular
officers from among the passengers,
and the names of all the food bound
passengers are published in this SOU
venir edition. In addition to Mr..
FagerberG, the names of several other
Arizonans appear in the list and
among the names are Mrs. E. d. Wy
ckoff, Helen and Ruth Wyckoff, of Los
Angeles, but formerly of Pre@Hott.
Among the number, the Optic says
there we're railroad managers, doctors,
governors, ministers, lawyers, states
men, editors, wealthy business men
and people in every walk of life. The
paper further states that all records
preserved in Las Vegas covering
period of twenty five years show that
there has never been such a disastrous
flood as this. Five inches of rain fell
within thirty hours, the storm COM
mencing on Monday, September rs,
and within three days the rainfall
amounted to seven inches.
Between Bryon, Colorado, and Ell
Paso, Texas, more than fifty miles Of
track and thirty bridges were washed
away. The most serious damage was
in Shoemaker Canyon which was swept
from end to end, a distance of nine
miles. Five miles of track and two
bridges were washed away there and
it was necessary to blast into solid
rock to find a road bed.
Prior to leaving Las Vegas the Flood
as sociation passed resolutions thank
ing the Santa Fe company, the Harvey
system, train officials and citizens of
Las Vegas for conrtesies shown them.

Over 300 people crowded into Elk hall

At the recent Williams meeting of
Mr.. Fowler, the letter that was report
ed to have been written by MIR. Gosney

The supposed letter contained the as

other sheep men of northern Arizona
would bolt the republican nominee.
MIR. Gosney brands such letter as
malicious forgery and on the other
hand says in an open letter that be
will support the republican nominee
heartily and fearlessly. The democrats
in Arizona are resorting into the
