eRoeRgsslvE pEMocRAcY.

The Taft victory in the prelimi-
naries to the Ohio delegate conve9,
ton and the simultaneous prepare
tons for a Hughes organization in
New York present pretty fair fore
cast of the fight that is'to be waged
by the two factions of the republican
party between now and the nominal
ton of a presidential candidate at
Chicago
Though some of the Illinois hackers
of Speaker Cannon the other day sol
EMMY resolved that the fight is be-
tween taft and the field" it is
much more likely that the fight will
settle down before the convention
meets into fight between Taft and
Hughes with the other State favor
ties holding out their delegations I'M
til the time comes to throw them to
the latter-that is, unless Taft should
have a majority on the first ballot.
The chances of the field to beat the
favorite would be better if the two
thirds rule prevailed in republican ma
tional conventions as it has prevailed
in democratic national conventions
since it was effectually used against
Martin Van Buren, in the convention
of 1874 and earlier.
That neither faction, except that
both profess to be pretectionists, adj
heres to old republican policies Is a
striking illustration of the political
changes that have come to pass since
McKinley's first election. 1t is evi-
denee that the American people are
at heart strongly imbued with the
democratic principles inherited from
Thomas Jefferson.
IL VIII NC NAiehIs
Taft pledges himself to go on with
the Roosevelt policies, he does not
commit himself to the Roosevelt va
carries with respect to the relations
between the state and federal govern
ments. The revival of state rights
sentiment which the presidents at
tacks upon the states have caused
among republicans would make such
course fatal to Taft or any other
candidate
The greatest danger to the demo
cratic party in the present situation
is that the republican party has be-
come too democratic. The best hope
of success for the Democratic party
this year lies in the popular knowl-
edge that while the republican party
has in the past sought power upon
popular issues il has almost invar-
iably betrayed popular interest and
made itself the willing instrument of
special interests.-St. Louis Republic.

ture. Work has been constant in the
old camps and be it said for the good
Of the territory that labor agitators
who have come into the territory at
various times to stir up industrial
war, that they might find a means of
earning livelihood by the use of
their tongues instead of their hands
and muscles, have never re-
ceived any degree of welcome by the
miners at work. The future of Ari-
IONA as a mineral producer may be
better understood when it is stated
that the industry is yet in its infancy
and that the big producers all over
the territory are all making haste in
the matter of enlarging the capacity
of their plants. Nearly ali of the sue
cessful copper producers during the
year past secured much valuable new
ground upon which some develop
ment work has been done; the rush
for new ground has not been so per-
ceTtible during the last few months,
but with the return of a reasonable
copper price we will see revival in
all tfs camps. Keep your eye on

STILL PUSH ROAD.

o. T. Roseberry, VINO has been in
charge of a gang of section workers
on the Hartman railroad near En-
paine, Sonora, returned to Phoenix
recently after an absence of two
months.
Roseberry states that Grant Broth
ers' Construction company now has
between twenty and thirty grading
camps at work in Mexico, every one
of them building road as fast as posi-
BILE.
H. NJ. Roseberry, who was for sew
eral years roadmaster for the Santa
Fe Prescott and Phoenix road, and
who is a brother of o. T. Roseberry,
is now roadmaster on the Cananea,
Yaqui River and Pacific division at
Nayajoa, 200 miles below Guaymas.
During. the past few months" said
Roseberry, "some men have been dis
charged at the Grant brothers camp,
but there are still thousands of men
and teams at work. From Empalme
roads are being built to Cananea, Ma
cozari Guadalajara and the City Of
Mexico.
Empalme is to be made the big
coast point for all the lines. It is
located about four miles from Quay
mas, has a deep sea harbor and is de-
stined> to be a big place l under

interests have set aside 100000 to
spend in improvements. = ..
Big wharves and warehouses are
TO be built to handle freight and a
roundhouse that will hold fifty-six en-
gines at one time is under censtrue-
ton Already several fine residences
are under way.
There is every reason to aelieve
that the building of Empalme will
make GuayTnas a back number and
the people there feel that way. ] al
