THE ROOSEVELT
DEMONSTRATION.

With four hundred of the nine hun
dred and ninety-two delegates in the
Chicago convention composed of fed
eral oficeholders, it is not strange
that there should be a demonstration
for President Roosevelt Another
thing which made a demonstration of
this kind easy to bring about is the
well known fact that practically all of
the Taft delegates come from the ad,
ministration political m a chin e S
throughout the country, who are
known to favor Roosevelt as the can
didate because of the belief that the
nomination Of Taft means the cleo
ton of Bryan as president in Novem
Der.
The demonstration yesterday must
have had a very depressing effect up
on those who propose 10 name Taft
as the candidates%as for the time be
ing it was plain announcement O
Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1908-06-19

the fact that Taft is not the choice
of the delegates present at Chicago.
though the nomination may yet go to
the war secretary.
The instructed delegations from
nearly every state. where such instruc-
tions were given for Taft. were
brought about in the same manner
undertaken by Governor Kibbey in
Arizona-by lining up all the federal
officials. Kibbey failed to land an in
structed delegation here. but in many
of the states the same plan was suc-
cessfal. Hence. the Taft delegates
are for Roosevelt first, because they
would expect to be continued in Office
with the continuation of the strenuous
one in the white house. and second,
because they have no faith in the
strength of Taft as a candidate.
The Chicago convention has not yet
named a candidate for president and
while we would not undertake TO fore
cast the defeat of Taft, certainly the
lack of enthusiasm for him in the
lake city cannot be very encouraging
to his supporters.
He will. if nominated, be a machine
made candidate without confidence in
his ability to hold the country in the
race which is to come between now
and November and this is why the
demonstration for Roosevelt was so
great.

CUMM|AS STRONG,
LOOKS A WINNER
From All View Points His
Chances for Vice President
Look Good.

CHICAGO, June lS.-There has
been a constant exchange of tele-
grams tonight between Chicago and
Washington regarding the procedure
in the convention tomorrow and sig
nificance is attached 70 the fact that
the president and Secretary Taft
have allowed a statement to emanste
from the White House that either Sen
ator Dolliyer or Governor Cummins
Of Iowa would be acceptable as sec
ond on the ticket with Taft.
The firm stand by tie Iowa delega-
ton clears the atmosphere somewhat
aud indicates that Governor Cummins
will have the support of mis- own
state. The Endorsement of the pres
ident and the presidential nominee.
With these three factors in his favor
Cummins' name is likely to be &C
cepted as that of the logical candi-
date for the ticket when the conven-
ton takes up the choice for vice
president tomorrow.
New York will present the name of
Sherman, Massachusetts that of

FOREST FIRE RAGING
IN THE SANTA RITAS
Entire Side of Mountain Ablaze
and Small Force at Hand
Unable to Control 1t,
Especial to the Review

TUCSON, June IS.-According to
the statements of those arriving in
the city last evening from the vicin-
ity of tn eSierrita Mountains. where
a forest fire has been raging for
several days past, it was learned
that the blaze >was of much greater
magnitude than was at first believed
and that great difficulty is being ex-
peTienced in trying to check its raw
ages. Ii is stated that With the force
now on the ground 1t will be impos-
sible 10 extinguiSh the fire for two
weeks, and in the meantime probably
millions of feet of valuable timber
viii have been destroyed.
The fire broke out in the Santa
Rita forest reserve on last Thursday.
and has been burning since that time
with undated fury. Ii was discoy-
cred by one of the forest rangers
( who Immediately summoned what
! help he could get and TOOK up the
task Of trying to check the blaze.
but the flames had got beyond all
! control, and spresd over a wide area,
assisted by = heavy wind.
| The dense smoke rolling from the
! burned AREA is keeping back the men
| VINO are trying 10 cutch lhS IIaliSS'
making it impossible for them to get
within a halt mile of the fire.
Last evening the blaze in the noun
tains, which are 30 miles from here,
could be seen plainly from the city,
and were at that time mounting high
into the heavens above the ridge OF
the range of hills. 1t could easily be
: seen that the timber on the north side
of the hills was ablaZe for distance
of about half mile, and burning
|Tiercely.
What steps viii be taken to check
the blaze is unknown, but it is prob
able that some forest rangers will 6t

serves in the territory.

revolt among the rank and file Of the
republican party in Arizona at what
was interpreted as an attempt to con
troll the action of the republican par
ty by the federal officeholders. That
this Interpretation was correct was
clearly shown by the presence OF
twenty-three federal oficeholders in
the Kibbey rump convention which
followed his bolt from the regular con
vention in Tucson. The Kelly papers
are not responsible for the action of
Governor Kibbey or the action of
those republicans in Arizona who took
occasion to put the harpoon into his
anatomy. These papers printed the
news concerning the Tucson conven-
ton and predicted final results.
We have always given the governor
credit for giving the territory clean
and honest admins ration; We believe
he has desired to do what he con-
ceived TO be best for the territory and
its people, but living at Phoenix and
surrounded by an element which is
continually striving to make it appear
that the people in charge Of the min
ing industry of the territory and those
employed in carrying on this life-giv.
For this action our people should
ing and prosperity preserving indus
try are the enemies of Arizona, it is
not strange that he has been led
astray on matters affecting the mines
and those who own them.
And now. as to the Gazette. We are
of the opinion that it would be much
for Phoenix and Maricopa county if
that paper would cease it's everlasting
yawpinS about the mining corpora
tons of this TERRITORY; the mining in
dustry of Arizona is the meat, bone
and marrow of our industrial prosper.
ity; discontinue work in the mines and
the Salt river valley would have no
thing to expect in the future in the
way of progress. were it not for the
markets found in the mining camps
much of the productive land of that
and other valleys in the territory
would soon be returned to the desert.
Arizona needs more capital for the
development of her mineral wealth
which has only just been scratched.
While all property should bear its
just proportion of the burden of carry
ing on the territorial government, yet
the people of Arizona will not approve
of the continual TRADE being waged
against this industry by the Phoenix
Gazette and the Phoenix Review and
other loud-mouthed demsgogues of the
long grass region.

INJUNCTION PLANK
AS FINALLY ADOPTED

CHICAGO. June 1S.-The anti-in-

Incorporated in the Republican plat
form reads as follows:
The Republican party viii uphold
at all times the authority and integ-
rity of the courts, state and federal,
and will ever insist that their powers
to enforce their processes and protect
life, liberty and property be preserv-
ed inyiolate. We believe. however.
the rules of procedure in federal
courts with respect 10 the issuance of
the writ of injunction saould be more
accurately defined by statute and
taat no injunction or temporary re-
straining order should be issued with
cut notice. except where irreparable
injury would result from delay, in
which case 4 speedy hearing and trial
should be granted. ..

the convention made a nomination
every Republican had right to have
a choice" said Senator Foraker after
hearing of Taft's nomination. But
it is no longer question of men, but
a question of party. In this way Taft
becomes my candidate for the presi-
dency. While under all circumstances
I can probably do but little, l shall
do all 1 can to help him. Republicans
should not contend among themselves
but they will turn all their guns on

KELLY PAPERS AND
GOVERNOR Ki6BEY.

The Gazette. published at Phoenix
as the organ of the Kibbey administra-
tion in Arizona, continues 70 bleed
freely because what vas known as the
Kibbey delegation was not permitted
TO participate in the republican ma
tional convention at Chicago this
week. 1t objects TO the rejoicing of
the Kelly papers over the seating of
the Powell delegation and it declares
what is not a fact when it says uhaI
the Kelly papers have fought every
move of Governor Kibbey for the bet
terment of Arizona" The Kelly pap
ers have never fought Governor Kib-
hey or anyone else who was trying
to better the conditions in this terri
tory, but the so-caIled Kelly papers
have opposed some of the things at
tempted by the governor, which, if
they had been carried out as planned,
would have done infinite harm to the
territory and to many Of its citizens.
We opposed the attempt hide by
the governor through his board of
equalization several years ago to in
crease the assessed valuation placed
on nOn-producing mines in Cochise
county 1860 per cent, which would
have meant, had it not been opposed
by some one, the practical coaIiscation
of a large amount of the mining prop
erty in this county which mad not
been yet developed to the production
stage Had such a precedent Of tax,
alton been set it would have driven
he prospectors from the hills and
discouraged capital which might have
1een invited to come to Arizona for
he development OF these noI-proIuc
ing claims.
We opposed the recommendation OF
Governor KiODcy for the enactment
of a mining law which Woald hay,
placed the matter or assessing mimi:
property in this territory in he haRd'
of the governor, who might, through
his board OF equalization. arbitraril!
place values ON the property of tn,
territory about which ne could no
possibly have correct knowledge "a
TO its value, but we favored the bui
lion tax law which vas passed owe
the opposition OF the governor by
vote In the legislature sufficient
large TO carry it over the executiv
veto had it been necessary; that lay
resulted in increasing the valuatio1
of the mixing property in Cochis
county something like s5,000.0o0 las

So far as we know these are III,
the only instances where the Cover
