During the past week two OF the OPP
posing candidates for governor nave
held monster meetings in South Lou
isiana, apparently to test their
strength IN that quarter. me TWO
meetings, ut New Iberia AMI FRANK,
lin. were only twenty miles apart, and
both may be regardedas having been
held at Mr.. Sanders home: The VII
kinson meeting at New Iberia was
held Sept. 25th, and the Sanders meet NEE
inc AT Franklin was held Sept. 18th
Allowing for all exaggeration by the
nartisans of each candidate, there
mist have been 1000 or 5000 persons
present ut each meeting, and nonor'
are evidently even between the tw'
men in that section.

Bisbee daily review., 1907-04-11

senators to defeat action until an- other election.
 If we must depend on an election four years off the prospect of single statehood before sundown is, to Say the least, not very roseate. At the same time, it is far better to remain a territory forever than to turn our af- fairs over to the foreign voters Of New Mexico.
 But there is many a slip between the scheme of the politician an1 ICs achievement. Possibly there will be enough free men in congress to vote the two territories into the union over the protests of the three gentlemen who are getting so big that they can not hit the ground with their plug hats. The politicians of New Mex ico should take this view or Inc sItu' ation under consideration and while they are considering it, they should remember that joint statehood with New Mexico will always be voted down in this territory and that their only hope is to fight for, single state hood until they get it.
 Apropos, it is stated that Southern California now wants to cut loose from the north and join Arizona in a new state. This, however, is an other Utupian dream. Arizona is foI Arizona and Arizona alone, and would almost as soon be stuck onto New Mexico as California.
Bisbee daily review., 1907-04-11
NO STATEHOOD LEGISLATION.

In recent conversation with Del egate Andrews, President RoUseyest made the statement that it would be some time before there would be any statehood legislation and thac New Mexico would probably remain out of the union until Arizona changed it's mind and asked that a 1o.nC state be created. A few dsys later, Sena- tor Beveridge. in response to an in- auiry by reporter concerning the possibility of single statehood for the two territories. said:
 Until the two territories agree to joint statehood it win be many years before single statehood for each will be brought about. It certainly will not come so long as Roosevelt is pres ident, Cannon Is speaker. and I am chairman of the Senate Committee on Territories"
 These statements are really the official announcement of the Republi- can party that new state will not be created until safe republican state can be made. The analysis of this statement shows that there is a Republican president. a Republican senate and Republican congress that must be orerthrown by mighty uphesval on the part of the people and even If Bryan and the lowei house are carried al the 1908 election there will stin be enough hoidovei

THE BiSaEE STRIKE.


 A labor strike has been ordered by the officers of the Western Federation of Miners in Bisbee This strike is the result of the attempt of the West ern Federation of Miners to bring Bisbee under the jurisdiction of the union. which would mean that the old condition of an open camp where un- ion and non-union men could have em- ployment without discrimination should pass into history with its rec ord of industrial peace and prosperity for twenty years. It was known to the organizers Of the union that the com panies would insist on the old condi- ton of the open camp being continued when they procured their chaTter for the Bisbee local; it was known to the union organizers that a very heavy majority of the miners of Bisbee, union and nOn-union, did not desire a local organization; when the organizers came to Bisbee they found the miners satisfied with existing conditions with no demands to make on account of grievances of the past; when they came to Bisbee the organizers knew that they would not be welcomed by the employing companies and that their presence could only result in heavy loss to the companies and much heavier loss to the men in the mines: the organizers knew that the attempt to bring Bisbee under control of the Western Federation would result in the loss of employment to every mem Der of that labor organization if he remained true to his obligations and obeyed the impending strike com mand; the organizers may have been  deceived as to the determination Of the companies to maintain the "open camp" condition. but the men working in Bisbee were not deceived and that is why the heavy vote was cast in Bisbee year ago against the propo- sition to organize a union in the camp. II is quite likely the organizers were urged to come to Bisbee by agitators who hoped to get revenge on the com pany managers for some fsncied wrong, or perhaps because the man. agers refused longer to stand and be miIked; it is quite likely that the or ganizers were assured that the Copper Queen, Calumet and Arizona and the Shattuck people were only bIuffing and would yield at the first command of regularly organized local of the Western Federation of Miners in Bis bee. We fear that lack of knowledge of the conditions and determined poll cies in Bisbee has led the union or ganizers into causing an almighty lot of trouble for many people for which there will never be any recompensing beneit
 Time will tell whether We have cor recuy analysed the situation at the beginning of the first labor strike in
