AND I NEIL APPEAR ID BE
 OUT IF HARMONY
Marcopa County Statesman Says Candidate for Delegate to Congress Has Populated Him.

PHOENIX, May 20.-w. D. Bell, edi- tor of the Saturday Review, who di- vided time recently at Prescott with Eugene Brady O'Neil, in savage at
 tack on Hon. Marcus A. Smith in favor of O'Neirs candidacy for con gress, is at present sulking in his po- litical tent. Mere than that, he teeis hurt and aggrieved. AS near as can be learned here, there is a coolness, almost to the extent of a marble heart, at present existing between O'Neil and Bell and the cause of it is an interview which appeared in the Arizona Democrat some days ago in which MT. O'Neil took occasion to repudiate the speech mane Dy Bell at Prescott and to claim no re- sponsibifty for the udterances therein contained Bell says now that O'Neil stated something, then quit, and left him to hold the sack. The original program was for O'Neil and Bell to stump the territory together, but the first bottle of oratory un- corked by the Populfst statesman from Texas was so offensive to the Democrats Of the territory that Brady could not afford to make an- other appearance in the same com pany. The official speech making tour has been abandoned, tempurar- fly, at least, and several speeches prepared in advance by Bell for their dual appearance in the different pre- cincts of the territory have been sent to the political fumigator. MT. Smiths friends in this county are laughing up their sleeves and Brady's campaign for congress is at present at a standstin.
 It is generally conceded here, however, that Mir. O'Neil will have Maricopa county behind him in the territorial convention when it uescs to nominate a candidate for con- gross. At this time it is not the in- tention of Mark Smiths supporters in this county to make a contest, resting secure in the knowledge that the great majority of the other coun- ties in this territory can be depend ed upon to send Mark Smith delega- tions to the convention. Word comes from the northern counties that Marx Smith is more popular than ever in those counties and that Coc0nino, Mohave, Apache and Navajo can be safely placed in the Mark Smith col umn.
 The people of Phoenix are natural ly feeling kindly toward Mark Smith at present on account Of the appro- priation secured by him for a pub lie building for Phoenix to cost S140,- 900. Phoenix has long been in need ot such public building for the con yenience of the government officials, and after long, persistent effort in this direction Arizona's delegate fin ally knocked the persimmon.
 The Maricopa county Democrats will hold their primaries Wednes- day and the county convention will meet May 25. It is the general opin- ion here that Maricopa county will seud an fnstfNcted delegation to the territorial convention in favor of W. J. Bryan for president, but in this county there is also a strong opinion prevailing that strong endorsement Of MT. Bryan's candidacy would be sufficient and that an uninstructed delegation to Denver would be placed in the position of more importance and be enabled to secure more recog- hilton for Arizona
 Selim Michaelson is an active can uAN2cSSC lOi GuC bOSlblOA O4 slItC national committeeman for Arizona He is at present chairman of the Maricopa county central committee and will come to Tucson on May 2S with the solid support oi the Mari copa county delegation for this po- sition. It is said here Brady ONeil is not enthusiastic for Michaelson, being of the opinion that Michaelson's candidacy might interfere with his for congress, but it is now assured that Michaelson will have the enthusiastic support of ais entire delegation.
 The prohibition question has been settled in Haricopa county-for the time being. Leaders of both old par ties are now busily engaged in figur- ing cut how to handle the prohibition voters in the future. In the recent election "dry" or wet" contest it was established that a majority of the qualified voters of the county were in favor of prohibition. 4 can vass of the votes shows that the greatest strength in the prohibition movement was in the democratic party. There are approximately 1900 prohibitionist voters in Maricopa
