DORIAN WAS FOR SMITH, NOW FOR CAMERON.


 seized with disgust at the nomination of Ralph Cameron, of Coconino coun- sy. for congress on the republican ticket is not to De wondered at That he was so. disgusrsi at the action Of his party tha. he dec;aIed his pur- pose of voting for Mark Smith there is no longer doubt: that Mr. Doran be- lieves that it would be better to have Arizona represented in tle sixty-first congress by Mark Smith than by Ralph Cameron, the republican can didate. to our mind thefe can be 10 possible doubt.
 MT. Doran, however. has ;n the past received so many dist:ngL"hed honors at the hands of the republican party in Arizona that is is net surprising thet he has reconsidercd his first remarks concerning his intentions in the pres ent congressional campaign. Mir. Do ran no doubt believed when Cameron was nominated by the Kibbey controll- ed convention at Phoenix that he would look only to the capitol building in Phoenix for orders as to the policy nf his campaign. If he did believe this will any one be surprised ttat he should balk and kick over the politi. cal traces?
 When the proposed advisory com mittee which had been arranged by the Kibbeyites as a means of directing the campaign in the territory over the regular executive committee was abandoned it then become known that the Kibbeyites had been unhorsed sH far as directing the campaign was con cerned; then it was when Sims Eiy, auditor of the territory and the press agent of the Kibbey faction and fed eral officials in the territory. tenderei his resignation as secretary of the ter ritorial republican committee and WIS supplanted by George IT. Young, a well-known anti-Kibbeyite Had not Cameron cut away from the influence of the ter i.o,ill capital ard federal official crowd, who boItee the Tucson convention it Is lIite .iEa.y that Do l ran's action in repudiaiiag him would 1 have been followed oy many other prominent republicans iE Arizona Do | ran now reverses his intention and as party man says that he will vote for Cameron. This he can well afford | to do after the campaign has been | placed practically in the hands of the anti-Kibbeyites.
 There will 70 doubt 5e those who ! will accuse Cameron of ingratltude in 1 deserting the Kibbey faction after the governor had conferred upon him the honor of being the party candidate for congress. CaTeron, himself be ing one of the bolters at Tucson, no doubt was considered to be loyal to the governor and would follow his ad- vice during the campaign which eYi- dently he has not done. according to reports from Phoenix.
 Hon. A, J Doran would not be mis- represented by any newspaper man in the territory who knows hir.i He has always been the friend of the press and if there is a man in the territory deserving well of the newspapers it is Mir. Doran. Tn his public positions he has rendered many distinguished services to the territory, the last be ing the passage of the Doran mine tax law over the bitter opposition of Gov ernor Kibbey, who was finally forced to agree that the measure was worthy Of his signature as executive.
 Mir. Doran has not been inconsistent in his position towards the republican candidate for congress. He makes it plain that Mir. Cameron was not ac- ceptabIe to him until the proposition of directing the territorial campaign by the territorial officials through an advisory committee" had been aban doned. When that was done then MT. Doran decided that he would continue as a regular party man which he has always been.
