SORT OF HOT BED THIS TOWN IS
A Short Canvass That Puts Several JOintist Stories Out of Business. The Strength of Their Weakness.

A number of erroneous impressions have been given out by joint statehood advocates, that have no foundation in fact, and that are circulated in the hope that some who might be wavering on the question of jointure could be in duced to lend that cause their support. It has been stated first that the anti jointure advocates had barrel of money to use in the campaign. AnOth- CT statement made is that a large part of the business men in the central part of Phoenix, though saying little about it, are jontists. An incident occurred yesterday that gives the lie to these islanders.
 In the first place the nti-jointure organization is without funds except such as are contributed willingly by local people who are interested. Money is not being wasted and none is scat tered except for legitimate expenses such as halls, music, printing, etc. There is no person and no outside in terest standing with cash in hand to buy votes or influence or anything else on the anti-side of the argument. The Bi-Partisan committee which has charge of the campaign in the territory, therefore appointed two sub-commit tees for this locality. One consists of
 
 and H. J. McCIung and it's duty is to solicit funds for the local campaign. It is ready and anxious to get what money it can, and lists are at the of fices of each of these gentlemen for all who care to call and willingly sub scribe. The other committee consists of H. J. McClung, Vernon L. Clark and J. W. Doris and is known as the dis bursting committee.
 Yesterday the soliciting committee devoted just one hour in the active discharge of it's duty. It took a central section of the town and called on every business man in the row. skipping mo- body, quite a number of them being men who are commonly reported by jointure advocates as favoring joint statehood. During the hour thirty-one persons were called upon and twenty seven Of them subscribed freely and literally and sent the committee on it's way with good words. Two admitted that they were iointists and two said they had not made up their minds. And this in the supposed hotbed of joint ure in this city! The committee se- cured $150. A

A GREAT CROWD
 Al BIG BARBECUE
There Was Never Such a Political Rally in Country District in This County as That at Cartwright.

Yesterday was a red letter day for the republicans in this county. Two hundred and fifty people attended the barbecue and rally arranged by the county central committee to be held at the school house at Cartwright. They came from ranches in the Fowler dis trict, the Orme district, from AIhambra from Isaac and from Riverside. Nearly every voter in Cartwright was present. After the feast of barbecued beef made into sandwiches and served with hot coffee. the meeting proper was held and every man on the county ticket, with the exception of J. C. Reed, one of the candidates for the assembly, who could not be present, made speeches each stating his position on all ques- tions Of interest to the voters. Billy

on the afternoon of the first days fighting at San Juan Hill he was wounded in the thigh The wound was of such serious nature that he was taken aboard the hospital ship and re- turned to this country. Soon after his recovery he was made lientenant-coI- onel and sent out to the Philippines The saying that "Wint likes to be where its warm" got to be a by-wOrd because of his desire to always be in the thickest of the fighting in the Phil ippines. Tn 1901 he was promoted to brigadier general and assigned to the command of the second brigade in the Island of Luzon. He has also seen service in China and India. General Wint does not retire until 1909 and it is fully expected that he will be the ranking general of the army before that date.
 General Wint and his staff. who are conducting the authorization of troops from Newport News, deserve great credit for the able manner in which they have performed their duties.

GUS priests and friars figure in the

witnessed the progress of the red man
upward from a primitive state TO one
of comparative civilization and enlight-
eminent. The name Oklahoma brings
10 mind the remarkable scenes which
ensued when the broad lands which
comprise that territory were opened up
for settlement and populous towns
sprang up in a night where before had
been bur the tenantless prairie.
1t would be possible to make four
states out of the four territories, but
that is not likely to happen. In dis
cussing the question in his recent mes
sage President Roosevelt said:
Il recommend that Indian Territory
and Oklahoma be admitted as one
state and that New Mexico and Ari-
iona be admitted as one state. Moth

Every year on Jan. II an ass, on
