Cochise county has honored itself and the people of Arizona by nominat- ing Ben Goodrich of Tombstone for the council. Ben Goodrich came to Ari- zona way back in the early days of TOmbstone-days that tried the best that was in man-and during his long residence, in Arizona he has always stood in the front rank in the legal profession and second to none in his sterling worth and integrity, a man that can always be depended upon to be on the firing line when men are needed to protect Arizona and her fn- terests. Now that statehood is ap- preaching, it behooves the people of Arizona to put the best men on guard. We need better laws, better system of county government, and last but not
 east we need and must have an up-to-
 date model constitution for our new state. The people of Arizona love and honor Ben Goodrich; they honor and respect him for his splendid ability and his incompdrable courage as a man. The people of Arizona take ofi their hats to Cochise county for its rejection of such representative citi- zens as were nominated by the Demo cratic county conyention.-Star.

GIVE UP YOUR COIN OR LOOSE YOUR JOB
Arizona Federal Patronage Trust CoerCed To Help
 Elect Cameron,
GTncsor Cltizen


 From republican territorial head. quarters in Bisbee bus come an order to federal appointees in Arizona to come through with 10 per cent of their. annual salary for the Caemron campaign fund.
 The penalty for failure to comply with this order will be the withhold ing by the territorial. republican or ganiZation of approval and recOmmen- datiOn when any of the present feder- al office holders are aspirants for re- appointment in the event that Taft is elected to the presidency.
 Not a single one of the office hold CTS from the postmasters with their juicy plums to the forest rangers who toll in the mountains for salaries oi S75 per month, has been overlooked. All must give their tithe.
 Inasmuch as there are several hun dred federal office holders in the ter ritory, the republican committee ex, poets to add many thousands to it's campaign fund.
 And the money that is being raised by this method is being parceIed out to agents who are "gum-shoeing about the territory. buttonholing vot, CTS and falsely posing as former dem ocrats and former ardent supporters Of Mark Smith and then in an under handed, cowardly, cUntemptible man ner, telling malicious faisehoods about AriZona's veteran delegate. Sey 1 eral of the craven emissaries have been caught red-handed and shown up and their labors have been a boom erang for the republicans whose mot l to in the territory this year is appar | ently Anything to Leat Mark Smith.

ARIZONA POLITICAL NOTES

Says the Arizonan. Hon. Marcus A. Smith is now in Graham county and he will have easy sailing here. If the republicans are making the same inconsistent and absurd argu- ment in all other parts of Arizona that they made in Duncan TO new votes will be obtained for Cameron, but, on the other hand, it is good argument for Smith, and will even bring him votes from the thin republican ranks Smiths majority this year will no doubt be the largest ever given him.
 Frank DeSousa, editor of the Ari- Zona Democrat, has been nominated for the assembly ia Maricopa county. Frank has been doing good newspa- per work in Arizona for many years and he will be a useful member or the lower house of the legislature.
 Kean St. Charles is the nominee in Mohaye county on the democratic ticket for council. St. Charles is a live one and was a member of the assembly several years ago. He is the man who recently took fall out of William Randolph Hearst and his Los Angeles Examiner.
 John ]. Birdno has again been made chairman of the democratic central committee in Graham county. Birdno has held this position for ten years and knows the political game fin old Graham from the beginning to the end BirdEo has also made the declaration that Mark Smith will have the 1arg- est majority in Graham this year that was ever cast for him.
 Gila county has the strongest dem ocratic ticket this year ever named Tn that county Hon. Geo W. P. Hunf heads the ticket for the council an, T. H. Thompson is again the candi- date for sheriff Gila county will give Mark Smith majority of 300 or more next month and elect the entire dem ocratic county ticket
 The federal officehoIder in Arizona who offers the civil service rules as reason for not contributing to the Cameron campaign fund this year will find that he will be without a fob in case Taft wins the national election. The republicans are after the mezuma and woe be to the federal oficeholder who fails to come through

PROHIBITION
 CAUSES BITTER
 FIGHT IN TEXAS
Dries Threaten Saloons With Statute and Vets Talk Of Dividing the State Into Two
 CommonwealthS If coerced.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. l0.--All other issues in the pending political fight in Texas are ciouded, if not completely overshadowed, by the. con test for statewide prohibition. In the DemQcratic primary of July 25th, the prohibition element won the fight to submit to vote of the people an amendment to the constitution proyid- ing statewide prohibition. This amend ment will have to be submitted by the legislature on oint resolution re quiring two-thirds majority. It now develops that there are sufficient sen ators opposed to prohibition to defeat the submission amendment A ma jority of the senators, however, are said to be prohibitionists. and pro hibition leaders are threatening to en- force state wide prohibition by statute.
 The Republican party has declared against prohibition and is making po- litical capital out of the situation At meeting of the state Democratic ex- ecutiye committee held in San Antonio d few days ago, at the instance of Will jam J. Bryan the prohibition leaders were lEiN SAaNC which was held behind locked doors. This has stirred their fighting blood and covert threats of a prohibition statute are being made. Meanwhile, great convsntion of the snti-pro- nibitionists is called for October l2th in Houston, and it is probable that several thousand delegates will be in attendance. This rally is to be non partisan and a number of Republican leaders will participate.
 Some of the disgruntled anti-pro- hibition Democrats are going so far as to predict a defeat of the Demo cratic ticket in November. Southern and Southwest Texas are almost sol idly anti-prohibition, and the predic- ton, Amounting almost to threat. is being made in some quarters that if North and East Texas force statutory prohibition on this part of the state, it will result in a division of Texas into two states, as is made possible by the terms under which Texas was admitted to the union. The situation is a straine done and just what the results will be can not be safely pre- dicted.

FOUR MILLION BALES ESTIMATED COTTON
 CROP ROR TEXAS
Forty Dollars Per Capita For Entire Population of the
 Lone Star State.
Especial to the Review.l )

i SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. 10.-- 'Dabney White. magazine writer who has been making a study of-the cotton crop of Texas. prophecies that the yield this year will reach the tre- mendous amount of four million bales. Previous estimates made earlier in the season have put the amount to a little over three million bales. At this fig ure the gross value of the crop will be $150,000,000, or a little over $40 for every man, woman and child in the state. Mr. White points out that in ais travels through this state he finds that girs are running during the en- tire year. In Southwest Texas the ginning begins in the latter part of June and lasts until we'll into the win ter. In northwest Texas it begins in the fall and the wind up is not until July of the following year. This re markable situation indicates the great difference in climatical conditions throughout the immense expanse of territory that makes up the state oi Texas.
