The ST. Johns Herald, one of the
four lonesome joint statehood advo-
Gates, has set up wall because the
two central committees have been
called together to devise the most
sure plan of forever putting to
sleep the absurd scheme of joint
statehood. The Herald wants to
know by what authority this meet.

the conventions which created
these committees gave no such

ity direct from the conventions,
the demand of 9096 of the people
of Arizona that measures be adopt,
ed TO defeat jointure is sufficient
authority for any man who loves
his home, his neighbors and his
country. The Herald has been
joint statehood advocate for a long
time and has claimed that Apache
county will give big majority in
favor of joining the two territories.
In this we predict that the Herald
is mistaken. We do not believe
that the people of Apache or any
other county in Arizona will cast
a majority for the measure, but on
the other hand, a singing rebuke
will be administered by every
county to those who would force
us into an alliance that is abhor-
rent to the people of Arizona.

The democrats of Graham county
are beginning to line up for the
coming primaries and convention.
They will nominate an unusually
strong ticket this fall composed of
men who will administer the gov
ernment of the county on business
rinciples, and soon place old Gra-
ham in the front ranks of the
counties of the territory. No can
didate will be nominated who is
not a pronounced enemy of joint
statehood. Not u candidate should
be elected to the convention who
will not pledge. blmself to fight
jointure. If any can be found IN
the democratic ranks who favor
JOINT statehood, they should be
permitted to get into a little flock
by themselves and then learn how
insignificant they are.

to railway domination. His most
recent novel, ,"Coniston," is respon.

The scenes of the novel are laid in
the White Mountain region of
Northern New Hampshire, where
the author lives, and the time is a

That the grand jury as invstiga-
