Enemies Of Administration Shift
Position.

These developments have. frighten-
ed the enemies Of the administration
and made more active on a new line.
They are now trying to get out more
favorite son candidates and to have
each one TO declare that he believes
in the Presidents policies and that
he is just the right man to carry for
ward Roosevelt's great reform poll
cies. They see that they can no
longer fight the Presidents 8 admins
tration in the open, but that their
only hope is to fool the people and
get delegates under false pretenses.
This is dangerous piece of cunning
but it will not work. The American
people can not be fooled this time.

Other Jokers Up Their Sleeves.

Another scheme is to prevent the
delegations from the favorite son
states from being pledged to Taft or
to the President. for {. second choice,
so that such states could at the con-
ventiOn be free to combine on a re-
dictionary candidate, but another
scheme is that where they fail to
capture a State, to have it send at
least an uninstructed delegation. And
everybody knows what that would
mean.
And still another scheme is to let
State (Which can not be otherwise
managed) declare for Roosevelt, but
declare for no second choice, SO
that if the President should refuse a
second nomination, that the delegates
would then be free to flop to a re-
dictionary candidate. When all Of
these schemes fail, their last trick
will be to get up a contesting delega-
ton with the hope Of being able TO
throw out the regular delegation and
seat the contesting delegation. And
there ONE reasons to believe that
there are in every Southern State
some Republicans of more or less
prominence who are into some of the
prominence who are into some Of
these schemes.

Similar Scheme in Bryan's Camp.

A number of favorite sons are be-
ing put forward in the Democratic
camp also, but this is being done
simply to muddy the waters. The
real scheme there is to spring later
dark horse.
The Daniel presidential boom in
Virginia resembles the Culberson
boom in Texas and the Gray boom in
Delaware. All three booms are merely
anti-Bryan demonstrations organized
and coddled by Wall street.
The Wall street play in to break up
Mr.. Bryan's support in the South by
the use of Southern men, all of a
high class and deservedly popular,
and then produce dark horse from
some other section, probably from
New York state. The capitalists who
trotted out Judge Parker three years
ago have no serious thought of a South
ern man now, and particularly man
Of the admirable grade of the men
mentioned. No such man in the
White House would play Wall street s
game: and Wall street wants no other
sert Of man there. Neither Mr.. Dan
iel, Judge Gray nor Mr. Culberson
could be manipulated in the interests
of the big trusts and railroad COM
bines. But if delegates can be secur-
ed in their names. and the Bryan
strength be by that much weakened,
it may be possible to control the nat
ional convention in a brainstorm in
the interests of Wall street IS real can
didate.
Who that man is the Morgans. the
Ryans and the Belmonts are keeping
TO themselves. The point now Is TO
try to wean the South away from
Mr.. Bryan; and this is to be done, il
there is any potency in praise of fav-
orite sons laid on with a trowel. So
fsr the game is not promising.

sLAkELY EXPLAINS.

This paper was opposed to the rail- road commission bill which was de- feated in the council of the twenty fourth legislature because of a use less expense The bill provided for the appointment of a railroad com mission to be appointed by the gorer- nor. If the bill had passed the com mission would have cost the territory s10,0O0 a year and would have been powerless to do anything which might benefit the people. It was to be a sort of go-between in carrying out com plaints the business men of the terri tory might have against the railroads. Any complaints which the people of Arizona have may be presented to the interstate commerce connis- sion withuot the help of a $10,00o com mission.
 Judge William G. Biakely. council man from Mohave county, voted against the railroad commission bill, notwithstanding good many of his constituents wrote and telegraphed asking him to support the measure. In the last issue of Our Mineral Wealth, published at Kingman, Judge Blakely writes letter to his constituents, e1. plaining why he opposed the railroad commission bill, from which we eK. tract the following: -....t
 After thorough investigation I was i fully convinced that the congressional act entitled The Interstate Commerce Act as amended and it's powers en larged by the Hepburn act, which took effect August 2S, 1906, renders the ter ritory poweTless to deal with the sub ject of railroad traffic, and it is mol only my opinion but the opinion oi some of the ablest lawyers in the ter ritory. Congress having already legis lated on this subject, subsequent legis l ldLiOn Ug tue tSIEltUIy Is dDSOIulclS void. Besides, careful examination ,I of the Interstate Commerce Law in cluding the Elkins and Hepburn acts which have greatly enlarged it's pow CTS form as complete a protection fo1 Ithe public as the ingenuity of able lawyers can devise and this protection is available to every man in Arizona or elsewhere in the United States ant absolutely without cost.
 Therefore it surely would hav' been unwise and unjust to the tax payers for the legislature of Arizoni to create a costly railroad commission or to incur any expense in any un just discriminations against railroads resulting in poor service and stagns ton in railroad building, divert capi tai into other channels, and to othe
 states and territories. It would leav no incentive to railroads to make va uable improvements or induce capita
 to invest in our territory"

this writing. The trouble seems to be that each side thinks the other is only blufing and will ultimately make the necessary compromise.
 In the meantime, the general public stands aghast at the magnitude of the evil with which they are threatened. The tie-up of the forty railroads west of Chicago would be at this time worse for the western country than the combined evils of war, pestllence and famine. Indeed, pestilenee and famine would virtually ensue. Crops could not be raised. supplies could not be obtained, every line of indus try would be paralyzed and men, wo- men and children would be reduced to the very verge of starvation.
 For these reasons there are three parties to this trouble-the railroads, their employees and the common peo- pie or general public Of the three, the last has most at stake. Therefore they should have a voice in the pre-. vention of the calamity.

THREATENED
 RAILWAY STRIKE.

The all-absorbing question today, for the people of the western half of the United States, is the threatened strike of western trainmen and conductors. If the strike shall be ordered, it will be the largest and worst tie-up in the history of railroading in America, as the following summary shows:
 Railway systems involved, 40; trackage in miles, 5000; total num- Der of employees, 515,OOO; employees di- rectIy involved, 5O,OO0; trainmen in voIved, 35.OO0; conductors involved, 5000; annual payroll of roads, s32O,- 100000; defense fund, trainmen, s375,. 900; defense fund, conductors, $350,- , 900; demands of men, increase of 12 per cent and nine-hour day; offer of railroads, average increase of 81a per cent, ten-hour day.
 The status of affairs at the present seems to be about this: The railway managers have made some consider able concessions towards meeting the demands of the men, and declare that they cannot go any farther. The rep 
 resentatives of the two. orders have referred the matter to the members of the orders. and these in a referendum vote have decided overwhelmingly 97k per cent of trainmen and 90 per cent of the conductors-that strilse shall be ordered if the entire demands of the men shall not be granted.
 The railway managers, have offered to invoke the Erdman law, enacted by congress for conditions of that kind, but the law applies only in case both parties are willing to arbitrate. The men refuse to arbitrate, and therefors the Erdman law cannot be invoked.
 As another effort in the prevention of the strike Chairman Knapp. of the interstate commerce commission, and Charles P. Neill. of the national labor commission, are in Chicago on mis- sion of peace. Of course they have no authority to act in any way, but their purpose Is to mediate if possible. The first session was not promising. The Representative of the men declared they could do nothing as the two or oers by referendum vote had taken all discretion out of their hands. They must call the strike if the demands were not granted. The managers said that they had already done all theJ could, and more than they ought t6 have done. Here the matter rests al

The question of importance is not whether at the conference Roosevelt appealed to the railroad magnate for campaign funds, but it is whether there was a political conference be- tween the president and Hgriman, and if there was did Hartman raise the dough, as he saFs he did. Let Mir. Cortelyou produce the books.

THE TARIFF ISSUE.


 The issue which the democratic par ty will bring before the country in the coming presidential campaign is, decares ex-President Cleveland, the fundamental principle in economies of tariff reform.
 Tt behooves democrats to lose no time in bringing to the front" says Mir. Cleveland, the issue of tariff re- form and in focusing the attention of the country upon it. Tarjff reform is the issue that will clarify the atmo- sphere solidify the friends of democ- racy, and bring victory to the party.
 T cannot believe that it is because the reform of the tariff has been a spe- cial interest of my own lifelong thought and conviction that deem it the reform the democracy must force. Nor do hold this opinion because we have won our victories in so large a degree upon it's merits. ~.
 T hold the matter of the reform of the tariff to be absolutely fundamental. i This question of the trusts is entirely dependent upon it. It cannot ever be denied, and it should never be forgot ten, that the tariff is the father of the trusts. Init all forms of corporate in justice find their origin aud their re fuge. If the country is interested in securing to every man an equal choice, let 1t guarantee, him first such rights as, for instance the right of puFchas- ing an Ameyican-made. article as IcheapIy as it can be purchased by a tfoYeigner abroad. A +eA
 ''The, can never deny or escape lfroinxhe dire significance of that fact American goods are cheaper abroad
 
 than at home It is idle to talk of surplus stock and the like. The sim pse fact Is the tarif puts ino the hands of corporations a powerful wea- pon wherewith to do injustice to our own people
 And on the broader ground of our enlarged national life. how Ill it be. comes us to persist longer in our poll tey of childish. selfish Isolation. We pretend to be world power.
