Our friends at Denver should not worry over a vice presidential can didate. Let them take heart from the action of the socialist-labor con vention. The penitentiaries are full of eligible material.
Arizona republican., 1908-07-09

In justice to many respectable cit izens of Phoenix it should be stated that the nomination by the national socialist convention Gas it appeared in the dispatches) of H. M. Preston, a Nevada convict, as candidate for president of the United States, was not the nomination of the socialist party proper but of the socialist la bor party, whose aims are quite dis tinct from those of the socialists. The moving spirit of the socialist labor party is the infamous DeLeon. His convention by the way consisted of only twenty three delegates as an- archistic as himself. This party at the last general election cast only coco votes. It is a matter of com mon knowledge that the candidate of the socialist party proper is Flu gene V. Debs, who was nominated last May.

LOCALS NOT APPALLED,
 BY PRESCOTT LINEUP
The AllStars Will Be Composed of Nearly all the Players Except Cis- ney, Used Against Grays Before.

| From the general expression among the fans and others, there is going to
 be 9 big crowd go to Prescott Satur-
 day and Sunday to witness the first
 of a series of games between the Phoe-
 nix All-Stars and the Prescott Grays,
 and to enjoy a couple of days among
 the pines and cool mountain breezes. They say it's fine sleepin' there these summer nights, but be as that as it
 may, the town a mile up is going to be awakened as never before when the firm Of Tebben, Warner and company
 land there for two games. It will be pretty representative baseball nine which will tackle the problem of Bur
 gett's speedy ones and Witridge's ben ders. Papa Ryer is the man talked about as he who will work in the wire cage.
 This battery does not look appalling nor very formidable to the locals who
 battered both all over the lot when they invaded this section a few weeks ago. Allowances must, however, be made for the effect of Phoenix climate and other indulgences which they didn't get at home. which accounted in a part for the wildness of these twirl- CTS and the oats they soWed here. Recognizing that these box artists have the goods, the locals still figure on the Ali-Stars as a hard hitting bunch, and unless afflicted with poor vision, will hammer out victory in both games.
 Williams showed what he had in stock when he pitched on the Fourth against Cananea, with dub doings be- hind him to turn a winning into rank loss. With Morris behind the bat we've got them skinned on every point. Cis- ney. a hard hitter, will be the only All-Star missing from the lineup, but a good man will take his place. Twelve men will be taken along, and Phoenix will be accorded the courtesy of the double umps system, so those who hesitate on taking in the excursion be- 1 cause of a fear of another gabfest over decisions may be reassured of at least l an even break along that line

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, JULY 9, 1908
THE PRESCRIPTION OF A FAITH.

THE PROSCRIPTION OF A FAITH
 The action of the credentials com
 mittee of the Denver convention yes
 terday will not strengthen the
 the states of Utah and Idaho next
 fall The rejection of the contestant
 delegates from Idaho is little short
 of an outrage as we gather from the
 meager report of the hearing on Tuesday night The question of reg ularity does not appear to have been brought into consideration at all The only charge against the contestants was that they were Mormons and appeared to have been anxious to determine was the religious belief of the political opponents of former Senator Dubois who has been a rabid hater of the Mormon element for years
 Dubois has gained the favor of the Bryan following which, if it sus- tain the action of the credentials committee, will brand not only the rejected contestants but all members of their faith as criminals, for, re- member that was the charge and the only charge made by the attorneys for the contestees.
 The only inquiry made by the members of the committee was not whether the contestants had been regularly chosen but whether it was true as alleged that they were Nor mons. It was even suggested by one member of the committee that roll of the contestants be called that it might be determined who of them With this information alone at hand the committee presumably could dis pose of the contests. Never in the history of American politics had there been such a prescription of a religious faith.
 In the opposition of Dubois and his associates to the Mormans there is no religious issue and there has l never been one. The former sena- tor has steadily made use of certain | peculiarities of the Mormon doctrine, | and the prevailing ignorance of it ! to further his political interests. | Hitherto the democratic quarrel over the Mormon question has been con- fined to Utah, Idaho and the ad joining states where there are arge Mormon populations. But the action of the credentials committee makes it national political affair and will serve as a notice to a large and uniformly respectable and industrious class that they are barred from par ticipation in the council of democ- racy because of their religion.

eligible beyond cavil or doubt, for ser vice in the higher councils. In this day and age it is generally recognized that however good a single man may be. the same man is better one mar ried, and if he isn't he ought to be Mir. Connelley was a pretty good man when he was single and any en- comiums that might be offered to the high esteem in which the bride is held would be suDerfluous. She has lived in Phoenix for several months past and has a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. That they may live long and happily will be the universal benedietion.

C0NNELlY-LAMBUR
 A CHURCH WEDDING
A Well Known and Highly Esteemed Phoenix Couple United in Marriage Yesterday Morning.

Coleman Francis Connelley and Frances Anna Lambur were married yesterday morning July at St
 Mary's Catholic church, in one of the simplest and prettiest ceremonies of the year. Nuptial mass was celebrat- ed by the pastor of the church, Rev. Father Novadus the rites being very impressive. The church was tastefully decorated with flowers and pepper boughs and the choir furnished sweet and appropriate music.
 After the wedding the bridal party repaired to the home of the groom's sister Miss Mary Connelley, where a sumptuous wedding breakfast was served. The day was spent in merry making and in the evening a festal dinner was served by the sister of the bride Mrs. Edward Price
 The bride was most attractively at tired for the ceremony in a beautiful gown of silk null trimmed with valen- ciennes lace. She was attended by Miss Mary A. McInerney who wore a robe of white silk. Christy Mackin, brother of the groom was best man. Many beautiful gifts were received from friends and relatives in Madison, Wis, the birthplace of the groom and from Chicago the former home of the bride, while the friends of both in Phoenix, remembered them with nu- erous testimonials of esteem.
 Mir. and Mrs. Connelley will leave Friday evening for Dallas, Texas, where MT. Connelley will represent Phoenix lodge No. 335 B. P. O. Elks in the grand lodge session. Though he was elected for that distinction some time ago it was with the inside in formation that he purposed taking the matrimonial degree that he might be

MT. Hobson believes that if the democratic party is successful in the election, 'at the end of four years it will have a great foreign war on its hands" A great many other people have predicted other great disasters in the contingency of dem ocratic success, but it does not seem that the Denver convention is a proper place to indulge in such gloomy forebodings.

The weather bureau has reluctantly thrown the rain flag to the breeze. It remains to be seen if the clouds dare accept the challenge.

Among the tasks forced upon the democratic national convention is that of determining which is preferable the political freebooter and traitor on one hand or the falsifier, the hypocrite and the ingrate on the other. Having settled this purely ethical matter, the convention may proceed to the nomination.

BACK FROM vAcATIoN-si

Byers of the Phoenix National Bank is back from a sojourn at the coast. where he took in a few of the Coast league baseball games, but reports that none of them were any more snappy or more exciting than the local games between clubs in the city league. The scores were not nearly as close on the average, and some days the profesh players show ed a disposition to loaf on the job and were listless.
