the plan Of the allies to make fight

resentation Of Southern States were
made public today BY Representative
Burk of Pennsylvania, the manager
for Knox. The resolution which will

delegate for each 10000 votes and
two delegates from each territory.
the District of Columbia, Alaska,
Hawaii, Porto Rico and Philippine
Islands. The introduction of the re-
suIition is a direct outcome of the
dissatisfaction caused by the manner
in which the recent contests before
the national committee were decided.
The resolution is identical with the
one introduced by Senator Quay in
Philadelphia, in 1900, but which was
withdrawn before it reached the
vote.
The Presidential nomination hav-
ing failed to develop the contest is
calculated to thrill the convention, the
vice-presidency has fortunately come
forward as real factor of the doubt.
Most cagacious political prophets
frankly admit tonight that the ques-
ton Of nominating vice-president is
all up in the air" Some OF the prom
ising booms are now dormant, others
have made their appearance only TO
be laid out Of existence within the
hour. Those who are mentioned are
Representative Sherman of New
York, Secretary Cortelyou, Timothy
L. Woodruff OF New York, Governor
Guild of Massachusetts, J. Franklin
Murphy Of New Jersey and Senator
Dolliver.
The rivalry between Senator Dolli-
yer and Secretary Cortelyou over the
vice-presidential nomination has at
tracted much attention today and has
come. nearer constituting an "situa-
tion" than any condition which has
yet developed. The competition took
definite shape early today upon the
ARRIVAL Of Senator Long Of Kansas,
who is recognized as Delivers es-
pecial champion From then until

engaged in doing all possible to speed

 While the people of eastern Canada are busily engaged in preparation for the reception of the Prince of Wales and the celebration at Quebec, the attention of the western part of the country will be centered during the coming week in the dominion exhi- bition at Calgary. Great plans have been made for the fair, which will af- ford striking evidence of the amaz- ing growth and development of west ern Canada during the past few years.
 On the other side of the Atlantic there will be several events in which Americans will be interested. Both the United States and Canada will be represented at the third international council meetings of Congregational churches, which is to begin its ses sions Tuesday in Edinburgh.
 The Lambeth conference, or the Pan-Anglican conference of bishops. will begin in Lcndon next Saturday. The conference, which is one of great importance in the church world, meets but once in ten years.
 Among the large conventions to be held in the United States during the week the one of most importance will be that of the National Educational association which is to begin it's ses- sions Monday in Cleveland. Other meetings of interest will be those of the Young Peoples Christian union in this city, and the National German American Teachers association in Milwaukee.

Theodore E. Bell, the brilliant dem, ocratic leader of the state of Califor. nia, was in Los Angeles this week. where he held numerous conferences with the local democrats of that city, Bell is giving his attention to the matter of harmonizing the prevailing friction which has weakened the dem. ocrats of Los Angeles in the past and is making excellent progress in this direction. This leader of the Califor- mia democracy will be pushed for temporary chairman of the national convention at Denver and will have the hearty support of the Arizona dele gation in accordance with a resolu- tion endorsing him for the position which was adopted at the Tucson con vention The California democrats are, confident that Bryan will receive the electoral vote of that state as the result of the election in November.

on paper but are as yet in the future. Members of the Douglas committee expressed the opinion that Bisbee could not deliver the goods in providing a site and the expense that might be incidental to the re moval of the court house to this city. That is presumptuous conclusion totally unwarranted.
 The strongest arguments Douglas presents for the removal of the court house to the Shelter City are found, ed on air castles built on rumors of events that are to trauspire in the future. The removal of the court house should go to the location where it will be the most convenient and most accessible tc the majority Of people of the county who have business in court

 nessee. Mir. Taft is already in daily
 receipt of numerous invitations to at : tend public functions and to speak in various parts of the country. It is
 understood that for the time being he will confine his public appearances to those invitations he had accepted
 before receiving the presidential nom ination, and during the heated term
 will endeavor so far as possible to obtain rest in preparation for the strenuous campaign work to come in the late summer and fall.
 The end of the coming week will
 see the democratic delegates turning their steps toward Denver in anticipa- tion of the national convention which

AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
 FOR THE COURT HOUSE.

The Bisbee Board of Trade yester. day actively took up the court house question, From now on they will wage an energetic campaign to secure the removal of the court house from Tombstone to Bisbee.
 At the conference between the Bis bee and Douglas board of trade com mittees the past week there was just one point on which they agreed-that the court house should be moved from Tombstone No denial e the facts set forth by the members of the Bisbee committee was offered by the Douglas committee. That this city has one half the assessed valuation ot the county, and more than one half :hc volume of business and popula. tion of the county is a matter of rec "vd. That We are the most centrally located and accessible city for the greater portion of all the citizens of the county is admitted. That the cost Jf attending court, both to private purse and as a matter of economy for the county would be less, is conceded Practically all of the legal business in the county originates in Bisbee More than three-fourths of the mem bers of the bar are located here.
 Three criminal cases are sent to Tombstone from the Warren district to one from the balance of the county the natural sequence of the greater population iY this district, The cost of their transportation and the wit 1esses incidental to the trial of theiI cases is an item of great expense to the taxpayers of the whole county.
 All Of these matters are indisput. able The claims Of Douglas are based on what they hope to be in the future They point to the railroads that are coming their way, railroads that have been built a score of times

ARIZONA CONTINUES IN PROGRESS.

Recent bank statements and assess ment rolls completed this year give evidence of the continued growth and prosperity of Arizona. Notwithstand- ing the financial panic of last year caused many of the mining enter prises in the territory to curtan pro duction and discontinue development, there has been no important falling of in the general advancement of the territory. The assessment rolls will show a substantial increase in prop erty and valuation over those of last year. The assessment in Cochise county, where the greatest copper pro duct is found, will fall below that of last year on account of the fall in the price of copper. Last year the assess ment of the copper product was based on a price above 20 cents per pound, while the value this year upon which the assessment must be made will be far below that figure. However, in other counties we find that valua- tions have been increased over that of last year, so that the total assess ment will be larger than for 1907.
 From Tucson. Phoenix, Prescott, Globe and Yuma come reports of the steady growth of these cities, while at Bisbee and Douglas in Cochise county there has been little sign of the business depression of the coun- try, so far as growth is concerned. Both population and wealth have steadily increased.

 It won't ring out the fact that thou sands of homeless men, women and children are sleeping in New York parks. All are renniless. All are too poor to pay for lodgings. Some have never known anything but lodg-

Nay, more: Many of these unfortunates will lose their votes at the presidential election. They won't have any residence from which they can vote. After conditions produced by republicanism have robbed a man of home or lodgings, republicanlsm also robs him of the power to protest against the robbery by registering and voting.

 At Yuma the government has un- dertaken another great irrigation en- terprlse which will insure the culti- vation of many thousand additional acres in the valley of the Colorado, thus insuring the growth and pros perity of Yuma as city. From all who visit that city we learn of bouy- ancy and confidence for the future. Yuma is one of the historical spots in Arizona; the people there have strug- gled against many adversities. but the light of prosperity is shining brighter today than ever before.
