POPULAR CHOICE OF SENATORS.

POPULAR CHOICE OF SENATORS.
When Governor Hughes. of New
York, in the campaign which ended
with his reelection was asked as
catch-question, Are you in favor of
the popular election of United States
senators?" he answered promptly and
emphatically, II am" 1t is safe to say
that this was not the answer that had
been expected, since the obvious design
of the question was to embarrass the
governor. But Mr.. Hughes, who proved
that he knew a number of things for
which his opponents had not given him
credit, knew that the popular election
of United States senators is a reform
that will not wait much longer.
The people of New York state are
very much interested at this moment in
the question of a successor to Senator
Thomas c. Platt, whose term expires
with the close of President Roosevelt's
administration. Senator Platt is be-
lieved to have assisted in the nominal
ton of Theodore Roosevelt for vice
president of the United States in 1900
to "get rid Of Governor Roosevelt. In
the revenges of the whirligig of time
the man who was thus got rid of will
name the successor of Mr.. Platt in the
senate, and there have been rumors
that he himself may take the seat.
There is however, probably more truth
in the persistent report that Mr.. Elihu
Root, President Roosevelt's secretary
of state, will be chosen to take the
place of Senator Platt.-Boston Globe.

CUBA AND sELF-GovERNMENT.

Little more than two years ago Gen.
Jose Miguel Gomez was in a Cuban jail
accused of being a conspirator against
the government of President Palma
Today he is the president-elect of Cuba,
having been swept into office by the
votes of the Liberal party last Satur-
day. Such vicissitudes are possible in
the course of life in a tropical republic.
Under President Palma's administra-
ton the United States had practically
evacuated Cuba. The revolution of
1906, of which the arrest of General
Gomez was an incident, led to a fresh
Intervention under the provisions of thu
Cuban constitution and of special
treaty. AS affecting our relations with
the island government an immediate
outcome Of Saturdays election is that
the United States government may
now. as promised by President Roose-
Welt. withdraw on the coming January
% from further OCCUPATION of Havana.
In the choice of General Gomez the
people have upheld the revolutionists of
1906 The campaign has been one of
enthusiasm but not of disorder. OF
present promise for the new govern
ment is the declaration of Gen. Morio
MenocaI Conservative candidate for
president, that in the event of Lib
eral victory his party would start no
revolution. ION the contrary said he,

FOOTBALL IN NEW YORK.
Princeton and Dartmouth Elevcns

New York. Nov. 6-New York
will be given a close range view of a
big football game tomorrow, when
Princeton and Dartmouth will strug-
gle for supremacy on the Polo
grounds. Thousands of enthusiasts
will doubtless witness the game.
Princeton has many warm admir-
ers in New York, and this game not
only will be well contested but it will
give some line on the possibility of
the Tigers against Yale.
Dartmouth has slowly but surely
come to the front in football, and is
now rated among the better eXpon-
ents Of the game. 1t has strong
team this year, and the green of Han
over will rank high toward the close
Of the season.
Many football experts will be pres
cnt to witness the contest, which has
attracted great attention, owing to
the fact that Dartmouth is conceded

HOLDS RECORD IN
POTATO GROWING
Ephrata Man Averages 165 Bushels of
Fine Tubers 20 the Acre.

Ephrata, Wash, Nov. Ga record
has been made by +. j. Killon of
Ephrata i'm raising potatoes which ii
would be hard for any farmer in the
Big Bend to equal, certainly any far
mer Of nonirrigated land, considering
the adverse weather conditions of the
last season. Mr.. Killon's land, which
is less than a quarter of a mile from
the depot, is turning out five tons, or
165 bushels, to the acre, and the
size and quality of the potatoes are
remarkable some single hills yield
ing as high as 80 and 40 mature and
well-formed tubers. The harvest is
the more notable from the fact that
until last spring the 25-acre tract was
a field of rank sagebrush The prep
aration was made by simply clearing
off of the brush and plowing the seed
under. An exceptionally dry season,
with no rain from mid-Juy till early
October, furnishes proof of the fer
tility of the land on the range about
here.
Mr.. Kilian is almost the only man
about Ephrata who planted any great
amount of potatoes. His success will
have the effect of stimulating others
to activity another season.
Another farmer north of town got
a yield of 50 bushels to the acre of
volunteer potatoes this fail 1t is in
teresting to speculate upon the possi-
bilities in the land about here if
Ephrata had the advantages of irri-
cation which Wenatchee enjoys.

IS ON
ITS WAY TO THE
COUNTY SEAT
Win Be Pounced On by Tomb
stone Attorneys In Effort to
Find Flaws. Supervisors
Will Meet Next Monday

"The beginning of the end" de-
scribes the status which the effort to
have the county seat removed TO Bis
bee has progressed In little more
than a month the question will have
been settled for period of four years,
for If the petition for removal Is not
held up by an Injunction. the question
will have been decided BY November
3rd.
Yesterday was the last day in
which the petition for Che removal of
the court house could be signed. B.
W. Norton, who has been circulating
the list, stated last night that the
total had reached 1888, which is many
more than the required number. When
the statement is made that yesterday
was the last day to sign the petition
asking for removal of the court
house il means only that the dppor-
tunity has passed to sign the petition
in question, for the reason that it was
the agreement with Tombstone that
il would be presented for inspection
by attorneys of that city before the
board of supervisors order the cleo
ton. Supplemental petitions will
continue 10 be circulated, in order TO
make the sentiment as strong as
possible.
r. f. Kelley, who until recently was
clerk at the Copper Queen hotel, win
leave this morning with the petition,
to which proper affidavits have been
attached. Before being turned over
to the Tombstone authorities how
ever the name of every signer will

he has registered and if therefore a
qualified voter.
The feeling in Tombstone in regard
to the moving of the court house is
intense. Attorneys have their homes
there and have made the county seat
their dwelling place for years. Many
of the old timers of the district, some
of whom have no idea of the growth
of Bisbee, it is alleged, feel that the
removal of the court house would be
| taking away part of their life. For
these and other reasons, the petition
which will be presented to the board
of supervisors ueXt Monday will be
searched as with micsoscdpe and il
| there is a possible chance to pick a
! flaw in il, technical or real, ii viii
! be taken advantage of. The mos
! probable course is to ask the issuance
of an injunction, in an endeavor tc
stave off the matter for another fom
years.
| The petition which will be pre-
! sented Monday not only has more
than the required number of sigma
lures but has a great deal more than
one-ff71rd of the property represented
Aside from the individuals, who o
course represent many thousands o
| dollars, many corporations, by holding
meetings and authorizing some in
dividual to sign for them, have addet
their property to the other represent

Mr.. Packard says that the fair

territory and that plans have now
been perfected which will insure the

The people of Phoenix are awe
the fact that more people will attend
the territorial fair this year than ey-
er before and are making preparations

Air. Packard during his two uass
visit in Phoenix took occasion to feel
the political pulse in that city. He
said the Democrats of that county
| had already started the local cam
paign for Mark Smith. Last week
Hon. Eugene Brady O'Neil spoke at
Mesa and Tempe and last night at
Tempe George Purdy Billiard and
other local speakers were invited to
address a rally of a local Democratic
club. The Maricopa county DernO-
| Gratis are claiming that they will outdo
dear old Cochise in the size of the
| Democratic majority for Mark
Smith this year. but "old Pack says
to accomplish this laudable purpose
they will have to make the majority
more than one thousand. However,
Packard declared that the Democrats
of Maricopa were in excellent fight
ing trim and all tremendously vorS'
ing for party success.
Mr.. Packard stopped here last night
to attend the meeting of the territorial
