ARIZONA DELEGATION INSTRUCTED FOR BRYAN.

INSTRUCTED FOR BRYAN.
 The result of the Territorial Dem ocratic convention in Tucson last week was just what it should have been, so far as the presidential can didacy on the Democratic ticket is concerned. Ninety per cent of the Democrats of the territory are adher- ents of thenause of Mir. Bryan, and this being the case, any action which did not carry instruction for the Nebras- kan of the strongest character would have been unsatisfactory.
 Not only does the Arizona delegation go to Denver instructed to vote for Bryan. so long as he may remain a candidate for the presidency, but the delegation is composed of some of the most prominent men in the Demo cratic party who would support MT. Bryan as against any corners whether they were instructed or not, because of their admiration for the man, the admiration for his long service in de lending policies which, when put into effect by the government, will curb the highhanded spoIiation of the peo- pie by the huge trusts of the country The Arizona delegation will be one of the loyal supporters of Bryan and the principles for which he stands and in doing this the delegation will be but carrying out the desires of the peo- pie of Arizona.
 That Bryan will be nominated al Denver there seems to be no possible doubt at this time. While he may not go into the convention with two-thirds of the delegates instructed for him, there will be such enthusiasm in the -COnNe0llOu LOI AlLl lIldI uulnSIEuSlCu delegates may be depended upon to give to him the victory on the first ballot His elecion will insure for Ari- zona the favor of the Bryan admin istration and separate statehood and self-government for our people, thus putting the people of the territory in the position of sharing equal reward for energy and patriotism with the people of any other state in the union.
 The convention at Tucson showed the greatest enthusiasm for the peer less leader, the man who has held his position as leader of democratic thought and action in this country for twelve years without the aid of DO Iftical machines or without the aid of official patronage to give anyone. He remains today, as he always has since he gained public notcriety as the honest and open defender of princi ples and policies which have grown so popular during the last two or three years, and for which the Republicans are now clamoring and asking for 3 new lease of power. Arizona and the entire country can well afford to stand for such a man and the Democrats of the territory have strengthened their position in the work of the convention through the strong instructions fer Bryan.
 There has been an attempt in eer. tain quarters of the territory to make it appear that an attempt would be made in the southern counties to pre- vent any Bryan instruction, but as these very southern counties had ab- solute control of the territorial con vention the tallacy of such an insinua- ton was clearly exposed in the con vention. It may be said here that Mir. Bryan had no truer friend in the ter ritory before the convention and has no truer friend now than Hon. Mark Smith, our delegate to congress. Be- fore there was a single delegate chosen to the convention Mark Smith wrote letters to many of his friends
