Double Team Politics.

Winslow, Arizona, Oct. 3-Winslow
has been treated to deluge of ora
tory within the past lew days, chiefly
from the democratic contingent. 1t
has been rich and robust and we'll
ornamented, and 1t has made a deep
iE preston upon the assembled popu-
iars.
saturday night the all-star cOnbi-
nation, Delegate in Congress Wilson
and ex-Delegate Mark Smith, who
wants to be delegate again, appeared
in Winslow. The electrified towns
people fiocked to the opera house to
hear the great political team perform.
1t was worth the money. In the gal
lery were some hundred flood bound
tourists from Santa Fe train which
had stopped here couple of days for
meals They welcomed the occasion
as having been provided chiefly for
their benefit, and although they did
not seem to understand the exact
trend of the oratory, they applauded,
sometimes at the right time.
Elk. Delegate Smith hit it up first.
He talked from the democratic cam
paign book straight and strong; told
the people how they should brace up
against Imperialism and push it off
the roost; how they should abhor the
protective tariff and fight the trusts.
And at this point Mr.. William DaZe,
engine foreman for the Santa Fe,
always applauded. No one else seemed
to appreciate the full significance
of the speakers words, but Mr.. Daze
was a whole host in himself, and the
delegate was sure be had made hit
with the audience under the foot
lights. He told the people to vote
for Parker first, last and all the time,
although voting for president is not
a ha bit in Arizona; and hen he talked
ON Observation-Disclosures for Arizona,
which is on this side of the coEtin-
entail divide; and statehood for New
Mexico, which is on the other. Mr..
Smith advances the somewhat unique
but very pleasant theory that God
placed the continental divide just
where it is for the express purpose of
dividing the two territories. Then
Mr.. Smith sat down and Mr.. Wilson,
who is to Ielinquish the honors of the
delegates seat, got up. Mr.. Wilson
said the same things Mr.. Smith said,
except that he started with statehood
and the continental divide and wound
up with Parker and the trusts. Mr..
Daze applauding. 1t was a great
political jubilee, and one that will
long be remembered in the annals of
Winslow. 1t certainly created lot
of votes for Judge Parker. Most of
the people here had not thought of
voting for the presidential candidate
until advised to do so by the candi-
date and his living example.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

For printing and stationery alone
it is calculated that each of the ma
tional campaign committees will
spend half a million dollars. Elk
tremely expensive also is the house
10 house canvas, which is made by
each party early in September, and
again about a fortnight before the
election. 1t is expected that when
the campaign is fully under way, nc
fewer than five thousand political or
ators will be placed upon the stump
by each of the national committees.
As at lea five times as many spell
binders" will be mustered by the
state committees, the aggregate num-
Der of exhorters will not fall much
short of sixty thousand. Some of
the speakers receive $3.50 a week, to-
gether with their expenses, while
others will accept no money for their
services. 1t is probable that the to-
tai cost of campaign-speaking on
both sides will reach eight million
dollars. The outlay of the national
campaign committee of the republi-
can party in 1864 did not exceed
100000, and that in 1884 it was only
about 81 100000. High water mark
seems to have been reached, not in
1896, as is generally supposed, but in
1900. This year the republicans have
a material advantage over the demo
Gratis in way of expenditures, owing
to the fact that Mr.. Bourke Cochran.
so far has advocated the election of
Judge Parker.

STILL SKULKlNG.

The Courier's reply to the Journal
Miners claim that republicans as
well as democrats should be praised
for the adoption of the Cowan Bill
does not answer the charge that
prominent democrats worked day and
night to kill the bill. 1t does not
change the fact that without the
votes of republican members of the
council the measure would have been
defeated. The bill was passed by
the council by the following vote:
Ayes, Burson, Childs, Corbett, Jar
Wis, Kibbey, Packard, Rice, White
side, Woods, Mr.. President - 10.
Nays, Ashurst, Moorehead-2 Had
the republicans, five in number, voted
against the bill with the democrats,
Ashurst and Moerehead, the vote
would have stood five ayes and seven
rayes, and the bill would have gone
into the waste basket, and not to the
governors office for signature, and
the territorial treasury would be short
some forty thousand dollars to date.
And the Courier's remarks do not
answer the charge that Col. Wilson,
democratic delegate to congress, and
Councilman Ashurst, of Coconino,
fought the Cowan Bill from start to
finish, and would have defeated it
had they possessed the power so to
do. And it cannot change the fact
that the three democratic members of
the lower house from Yavapal county
resorted to every method to delay !

ture for these men will be true to the

cratic members of the Legislature for

This is particularly true of the last

Iicans to fill these offices and thus

tors.

Challenge TO Yavapai ROpers.

There is a good natured rivalry be-
tween the vaqueros of Maricopa coun-
ty and the vaqueros of Yavapai coun
ty, says the Phenix Republican, con-
corning their steer tying accomplish
ments, that may result in spectacu
lar contest here some time about the
holidays. There has been more or
less talk of a match between a team
from each county, all of which has
stimulated the Phenix vaqueros to
authorize this paper to publish a
challenge in behalf of six of them, to
meet any six Yavapai boys at Phenix
some time about Christmas for a
match. The terms of the match are
to be that each contestant shall tie
three steers, the aggregate of the team
record being taken on each side.
THAT the game may be interesting
and that the winners may have some
thing to work for it is provided that
each contestant shall contribute 500
to the purse, making total purse Of
$1,000 for the winning team. There
will be other details to arrange also
but these can be settled later if there
is a response to the challenge. The
Pheuix cowboys who offer the chal-
lenge are Joe Bassett, Oscar Roberts,
John Woolf, Bill Anderson, Wayns
Davis and Lonnie Lancaster.

Friction in City Council.

Those who anticipated wordy war,
the turning loose of the reservoir of
municipal wrath, and all those things
that would cause reviving of the
disagreeable water question, we're
disappointed this afternoon at the
meeting of the city council. 1t is
true the subject came up, but it was
temporarily settled without resorting
to harsh words, and pending a judi
cial consideration of the question,
whether Mr.. Glass, the charge
d'affairs of the city's water system is
to triumph or not, remains in the
legal balance. After routine matters
were dispensed with, the following
resolution was introduced by Alder
man Wilson, and it carried by the
following vote: Ayes, Brinkmeyer,
Head and Wilson. Noes, Mulvenon
and Mayor Burke:
THE RESOLUTION.
Be it resolved by the mayor and
common council of the city of Pres
colt:
That there be and there is hereby
established water and sewerage de-
partment of the city of Prescott. That
said department shall be under the
immediate control of and supervision
of the superintendent of water works,
subject to the direction of the water
committee. That all matters relating
to the water works and sewerage sys-
TEN of the city of Prescott within the
powers and duties of said department
be full executed and carried into
effect by said department. -
Previous to the roll call on this
question Mayor Burke stated that he
would not entertain the resolution,
but not withstanding that this official
stated his intention to veto the same
the measure passed as above is shown.
Immediately after its passage the
mayor peremptorily informed Mr..
Glass that he was not to respect the
wishes of the majority, and that he
(the mayor would officially address
him letter as the executive of the
city, and asked that the same be re-

practice of the law in Tucson.

Municipal Transactions.

The city council convened yester-
day afternoon, at which were present
full board.
The first matter up was that of the
payment to each bank of the sum Of
81, 377. 60, on account Of loan to the
city of one year ago. The debt be-
coming due, a warrant was ordered
drawn for the above amounts and the
banks we're accordingly paid.
The subject of street crossings was
taken up in view of the early approach
of winter, and the building of such
on Gurley east, on Granite between
Goodwin and Gulley west to the
street committee for final action. The
property owners on these thorough
fares are to perform this work.
Sidewalks, laii in either cement or
asphalt, were also ordered along the
east side Of CorIeZ street, on that
vacant tract north of the Pre- scott Ma
tional Bank, also along Goodwin and
Cortez south of the plaza, the ground
thereon being owned by Jesse Robson
and E. W. Wells. These thorough
fares are very much in need of mod
ern walk, and the order of the council
will meet with general approval.
Mrs. Marcou was given a SO rebate
on back taxes for last year.
Nh. Dryer protested in tax mat
tiers, but his assessment remains as
returned.
A. A. Johns assessment went over
until the council personally look into
his property. Likewise was the same
ruling made with John Garbarino.
Charles Raible had a grievance and
went to the water committee for re-
dress.
The assessment of So, 500 against the
vacant lot of the Masohs next to the
Prescott National bank. went to the
city attorney for legal definition OF
whether it can be assessed or not. in
view of the definition of the statutes
being somewat hazy on what is and
what is not charitable institution or
benevolet order, and other ques-
tions. The personal feelings of the
council we're that this vacant ground
should go on the tax roll.
A. P. Smith was assessed $3.50 on
furniture, and not having any, he was
refunded 81 80.
The assessment of A. j. Head of
$685., ne thought was too heavy. He
is a member of the council, but that
figure was sanctioned and he stood the
assessment as returned. 1t covers his
asphalt plant.
While routine matters were nearing
the end of consideration, Alderman
Mulvenon somewhat surprised the
council by making a statement that
the books of the city were in very
condition, and in view of
the present council having but few
months to serve he thought it would
be better for the service as we'll as
more satisfactory for the incoming
members to have the same in proper
shape, making a motion that an ex-
pert be secured to perform this work.
The present clerk has been over
burdened with clerical duties and not
since the retirement of Mr.. Modem
has any systematic plan of bookkeep-
ing prevailed. The mayor was au-
thorized to secure such. an expert,
and the books will be rewritten from
voucher and other sources.

ANOTHER EXPLOSION.

As fast as they show up. off goes
their heads and up in smoke their ar
guments. The association of Fowler
to statehood is satisfactorily explain
ed in the article below from this
mornings Republican, and as the ed
itor of that paper was present on the
occasion, he evidently knows what he
is talking about. The following on
the subject is reproduced for ''the
good of the service"
Every int elligent person in Wash
ington, with the exception of Dele
gate Wilson, knew that it was abso-
lutely impossi ole to get Arizona adj
mitted separately in the tifty-eighth
congress. Moreover, the leaders in
the senate and house made it plain
that if bills were pressed for the adj
mission of these territories separately
in that congress, the majority would
advocate the consolidation of Arizona
and New Mexico. They made this
plain to Wilson. At least a dozen
senators warned Mr.. Fowler to that
effect. had Mr.. Fowler joined hands
with Delegate Wilson for the Wilson
bill, Mr.. Fowler would merely have
added momentum to the movement
for joint statehood, for the republi-
cans were determined not to admit
these territories separately before the
presidential election of 1904 There
was no secret about these warnings.
Mr.. Fowler, finding by an intelligent
canvass of the situation that separate
statehood was hopeless, wisely re-
fused to lend a hand to the Wilson
hoodoo. But Mr.. Fowler did appear
before the republican members of
the committee and he made most
earnest protest against joint state
hood. This was at a dinner given to
the republican members of the house
committee on territories by ex-Gov.
Murphy. At that dinner, in addition
to the congressman and their host,
were Mr.. Fowler, Judge Kibbey and
the editor of the Republican. Mr..

phatic language that he would never
consent to union with New Mexico
and that rather than see such ca
lamity he would prefer to have Arizo
ma remain a territory Tor fifty years
longer. The other Arizonans said
the same thing. In reply, the con-
gressmen said it was political ques-
ton; that both parties dealt with
statehood questions on political lines;
that, apparently, Arizona was demo-
cratic; that the new state certain to
be created by joining Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory would be demo
cratic by thirty thousand; that the
republicans feeling that Arizona was
not quite ripe for statehood anyhow,
could not approve the admission of
two democratic states as against the
possible republican state of New
Mexico. They explained that if Ari-
iona were only republican, or if there
was reason to believe it would be re-
publican after admission, it would be
different; although they felt it would
be best in any event to wait two or
three years longer.
''Then why not let us alone?" the
Arizonians rejoined. "Why hook US
up with New Mexico?"
