Arizona republican., 1908-04-04

CTS assert themselves against selfish influences and so bring about united | party. In speaking of his own fourteen
 years record in city politics. MT. Ad-.
 ans was frequently and loudly cheer ed He said that every effort he had
 made had been for the strengthening of the party and he believed that the wrestling of the city from the control of the democrats when he entered Phoenix politics, and the almost con tinuous success of the party since would attest to the result of bis ef- forts.
 Mir. Adams remarks cc=Cerning the activity of democratic holders of re- publican official positions and the sel- fishness of republican holders of simi-
 lar positions received the loud en- dorsement of the crowd. He stated
 that the republican party in the terri tory and m this county had been at all times under the curse of federal domination. resulting in an apathy among republicans which had made victory all but impossible. But for this apathy and the course of the office holders who cared more for their jobs
 than for the success of the party
 both Robert F.. Morrison and E. A. Fowler would have been elected dele gates to congress. For the same cause the democrats. though undoubtedly in the minority in Maricopa county at the present time had met with almost un- form success at the elections. Ballot Box Stuffing.
 The caucus in the second ward was i conducted in an orderly manner. The proceedings were marred by a single incident. an attempt to stuff the ballot for instructions. The proprietor of the
 Arizona Gazette. and who has repre- scented the territorial administration | throughout the territory in the inter
 est of an instructed delegation. was | the culprit. He threw in a handful of | ballots, when Chairman MintZ inter fered. saying: None of that here"
 He took from the box all the ballots of i the handful and then in the interest
 of fairness took one more. This incl dent was witnessed by several by islanders. and practically all in the room heard the remark of the chair man. Appeals for the purity and sac redness of the ballot have for some | time been permeating the editorial col
 umns of Che Gazette.
 1 The result of the ballOting. not counting this intercepted handful. was 1 sixty eight for instructions and twen- ! ty-four against, though it has been stated that several members of this
 delegation are unalterably opposed to instructions of federal control of the party in this city and county.

 edly be delegates to the county con vention.
