Chairman Aldrich OF the finance

"The fact Is" said Mr.. Aldrich,
"tho papers were in form to be pre-
sented and they were placed before
Secretary CortelyOu, but he found In
order to make the presentation to
tho senate in a form satisfactory to
himself would require q longer time
than was supposed.
"The criticism in tho senate as to
that action led the secretary to make
"A frank and explicit answer to all
suggestions as to what was done

"Ts no definite time nxcd?" asked
Mr.. Tillman. "As soon as possible

Those Of us who know Mr.. Cor

"That was a simple matter" re-
tortcd Mr.. Aldrich. "Tho senator

CAMPBELL LIKES IT.

Major Campbell, formerly of Naco,
 zari, is just in from the new camp of Sylvanite. He states that he believes the new district to be a wonder. That the rush to the new field is remarkable and the situation takes on every feat ure of big strike and a great boom. It seems that this is the only dry camp in New Mexico, the law being such that no elixir licenses can be granted until after the election. In the meantime the multitude is existing on raw nam, alkali water and anything they can get, and lucky is he who happens to bring his bed along with him. A letter from a Mir. MeGuffey to Van c. Smith is not so optomistic in regard to the new gold wonder The fact is the situation is about as badly
 mixed as the current political cam, paign in Arizona-Douglas Dispatch

REFRESHING HIS MEMORY.

The Hon. Bob Morrison made a speech a few nights ago at Prescott, in which he laborej hard to convince the people that Mark Smith is not the man who should represent them in congress, asserting that he had never accomplished anything for Ari- zOna and never would. But in his zeal to secure the defeat of MT. Smith and to secure the election of Mir
 Cameron. he forgot that he was inter viewed by the Phoenix Enterprise on his return from Washington, in Feb ruaTy. 1906, when the attempt was made by the Roosevelt administration to carry out the monstrous scheme of joint statehood, at that time SO dear to the hearts of those who desired to keep down western representation in congress. says the Silver Belt.

show the people thae the statements he makes at this time regarding Mir. Smiths fidelity to Arizona, We print what he said on thaS occasion:
 The splendid work done by our representative, and the loyal Arizon- ans who are present in Washington, is the talk of the nai,on. The people at the capital know now that as bright a class of people as are to be found in any place on the globe are to be found in Arizona"
 Referring to Tawney's back-down he said: The measure would surely have been defeated in the house if Tawney and few of his clique had not fallen down. Tawney it was who organized the insurgents and drilled them in their parts, but when he was made chairman of the appropriation committee he deserted and went over to the enemy. He I,as royalty roast ed by Mark Smith, who made the speech of his life n defense of~our territory.

MIR. ROOSEVELT AND LABOR.

Taft is making fearful appeals to the working classes. Roosevelt is writing labored communications on the injunction plank in the Denver platform. Oscar 5. Straus, secretary of commerce and labor, is seeking au- diences before which he may expound the administration views of the mat ter. otheA things assist in making it clear the republicans are more than apprehensive that labor is inclined to Bryan. A hundred things have oc- cured to indicate that republican fears of a concentration of the vote of organized labor are well founded. In- deed, it has been semi-authoritatively stated that 90 per cent of the vote will go to Bryan.
 Tn 1904 the popular vote for Roose- welt was 7.623,4S6 and for Parker B. O77,971, the formers plurality being 2,545,515, more than three times greater than Was ever accorded a presidential candidate. Even the most hide-bound party enthusiast would claim no such tremendous margin for Taft.
 If 75 out of every 100 of the 2,OOO,- 900 members of organized labor had been united four years ago they could have turned the tide against Roose, Velt. Labor may win nothing by form Ing new political party, but it may and does hold the balance of power as between the two great parties Its partisan differences have heretofore left it impotent. This year it is ap- parently a unit.
 Spuld the republicans have fore seen this condition they would not have kicked Samuel Gompers out of the Chicago convention. Their view seems to have been that because workingmen had never stood together politically they never would.
 Now the republicans are fearful. The White House is much agitated. MT. Taft talks more of injunctions than anything else. MT. Roosevelt lectures organized workingmen as if they were in the primary grade. Your man, Gompers," he says, 'is a fraud and a trickster. I know, be- cause have had him up to lunch of ten and it gave me d good opportunity to study him. Hes deceiving you with false doctrine and leading you in- to dangerous ways. Don't trust him.

composed of eight republicans and four democrats. The councilmen who will be elected as democrats are Ben Goodrich of Cochise, i. L. Hampton of Graham, George w. P. Hunt of Gila; Jas, Finley of Pima, Eugene Brady o'Neil of Maricopa, Thomas Weeden of Pinal, and the members from Ma vajo, Mohaye and Iayapai counties who are on the democratic ticket. In the lower house of the legislature it is expected that .he democrats will have larger majority than they had two years ago.
 The political situation in Cochise county remains practically unchanged since the nomination of the democrat ic ticket. It is almost certain that every democrat will be elected in this county; in fact, the republicans are almost hopeless of securing single victory. The county has a normal ma jority of democrats of not less than one thousand and the fact that the party is harmonious leaves but little republican hope All efforts of the republicans so far to break into the democratic pastures and there secure votes for the republican candidates have failed completely. Here and there is a democrat who will scratch some of his party Gdrdidates for per sonal reasons, but the number Of such democrats is believed to be fewer this year than ever before in the coun- ty, because of the universally popu- lar candidates on the democratic ticket.

JOHNSON IN DOUGLAS.

Pete Johnson is in Douglas. Pete was one of the heaviest losers from the recent fire in Bisbee. He is not 'hollering" but building, but does say that the confagration and subsequent losses were totally unnecessary; that the emergency tanks had stood empty until the hoops were falling of, and that if they had proper water service no loss of consequence would have occurred. It is the old, old story, and now the good people of Bisbee are preparing an adequate fire and water service, locking up the stable after tn horses are stolen.-Douglas Dis patch.

George A. Young, secretary lf-the territorial republican committee pub lished an interview which for truth fitness resembles Johnny Wright in the Gazette. Young says the demo cratic papers have Cameron's official record set up in type and will spring it few days before election. MT. Young is very much mistaken, every democratic paper in Arizona probably knows Ralph Cameron's Coconinp re- cord, but not one Of them will pub fish it. The Cameron stump speakers are hilarious about Mark Smiths re cord, but not one of them has ever dared to publish Cameron's official re- cord in<Coconino county Mark Smith will defeat Cameran without trying to smirch him; he will do it honora- bly and decently ana no democratic paper in Arizona will spring any Ca meron record upon the public. As MT. Young asserts. heNis simply mis- taken or is talking for effect, as sure ly there is nothing in his contention The democrats have conducted this campaign honorably and no records will be sprung before or after cleo tion, so the secretary can sleep in peace.

Roosevelt is out wIrn another letter of endorsement of Judge Taft, the republican candidate for president As no one was consulted by Roose welt about the choosing of Taft as the republican candidate we won der that he should consult anybody now concerning his election. The fact is that Roosevelt is running the whole show of the republican party this year and it looks like this show will have to walk the railroad ties if it ever reaches winter quarters.

The assertion of the Cameron speakers that Mark Smith aided the land grants in this territory is abso- lutely infamous in its conclusions. Mark Smith defeated the Reavis land grant in congress and sent Peralta Reavis to the states prison in De- troit This fraudulent grant covered the homes of the settlers of the Salt River valley and the people of that section are thoroughly cognizant of this fact, yet Johnny Wright had the supreme audacity 70 tell the people of Phoenix in a public speech that Mark Smith was Rravis' friend in this matter-shame on such false hoods and shame on the man or party that would put them in circulation

THE NEW VOTE IN ARIZONA.

IN HT1lZOiNHs
 EovaI A. Smith, the chairman, of the republican territorial committee. is taking much hope for Ralph Cam eron from the fact that there has been something like an increase of 25OU votes registered in the territory over two years ago. MT. Smith has appro- priated all of this increased vote for Cameron which accounts for his wild calculation in estimating the vote which will be cast on Tuesday next
 MT. Smith will find that he has reckoned far from the facts in this matter, as in every city where cleo tions have been hell this year it has been shown that tho. democratic ma jorities were increased as a result of the new vote. This was shown in Globe where the increased vote was perhaps larger than in any other city. In the Globe city election last May it was shown that the democrats were stronger than they had ever been and the democratic ticket boiled more votes than both the republicans and socialists combined, while the repub- licans were behind the socialists in the city election. Considering the fact that the average voter gives less to politics in a municipal election than he does in county or territorial cleo tion this showing ill Gila county does not look very good for Smiths candi- date for congress, bT5 it does look like the estimate of 800 majority for Mark Smith in that county is not too high.
 In Bisbee it was demonstrated in the city election last spring that the democrats had gained strength from the general election of two years ago and the victory there was a complete one with the exception of one office. In Douglas the same condition was shown, the number of votes had in- creased here and the democratic vic tory was larger than two years before. We are led to believe that this rule will be found to prevail throughout the territory. In Maricopa county, the largest increase of voters will be found in the Salt River valley and this increase in population may be safely counted as a stand of between the republicans anI democrats with advantage, if any, with the latter. In Maricopa county there is perfect har- mony in the democratic party and the ticket named by that party is espe- cially strong, carrying several men who have made good in the offices for which they are now asking for a re- election and this fact will serve to bring out the full de,nocratic strength on election day.
 When HoyaI A. SlEith appropriates he increased vote ia Arizona for the  republican party he is making long guess and one far away from the act ual facts.

Trust me. I'm a bigger president

Trust me, Pm a bigger president than he is."
 It's splendid argument, no doubt, from Roosevelt's yiewpoint-trying to induce workingmen to believe that their chosen and Techosen leader is a mountebank and to persuade them they were either deluded into electing him or fools for doing it. Mir. Roose- welt can't understand why working, men should have chosen Gompers rather than him, why they should be- lieve Gompers rather than him, why they should follow Gompers rather than him. MT.

ONE MEEK MORE OF CAMPAIGN.

Only one week rer,ains of the 1908 national campaign and the work to be done between now and next Tues day will practically all be done in the states of New York, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. These great states, at least three of them, the first named, are conceded to be in doubt by all who are at all conservative in their estimates. ..-..
 Chairman Mack of the national democratic committee has recently shown that he was absolutely conf dent of the success of Col. Bryan and declared on Saturday that it would be by a landslide to the democracy. He claims that New York and Indiana are both safely for the Nebraskan. It may be said that Chairman Mack is more confident than many other lead ing democrats, though the democratic leaders are all feeling very hopeful.
 Chairman Hitchcock of the repubIi- can committee, of course, is claim ing that Judge Taft will be elected but is not exhibiting that confidence which characterizes the claims of Chairman Mack.
 Of one thing there is no doubt and that is the republican party is far from harmonious Tn the close states and in the contests for governor in Ohio, Indiana and New York the re- publican candidates have little show of winning
 Both the leading presidential ,candi- dates are doing their finishing work in the state of New York now. Bryan has the advantage in this campaign work and is making speeches at the rate of twenty day and has been for a week. Judge Taft cannot compete with the Nebraskan in the matter th endurance on the stump and last week was compelled to cancel several appointments so that he might recuper, ate his vocal organs.
 The states where the final battle Is being waged is alled with the very best speakers to be had in the eoun- try. Mark Smith. whc left Arizona a week ago, is with party of distfn. guished orators on special train go ing through Indiana and Ohio.
 The republicans recognize the great danger to raft because of the local issues in the close states which are fatal to the FepubHcan candidates fcr governor. They hope that these con disions may not reach the presiden- tiai contest, but the danger Is emi- nent and fully recognized.
 In Arizona the campaign will un- doubtedly result In the election of Mark Smith to congress His majori- ty may be safely estimated at not less than 15oO. The legislature will certainly be democratic by a safe ma joyjty, wberess the last council was
