ministration could not force state
 hood But there is now no more controversy between the national par ties on this subject than there is among the citizens of Arizona. All are for statehood. We know of noth- ing that can obstruct our admission now unless it would be the folly of making statehood a party issue in Arizona again to the end that the democrats might be elected to the county offices and that a democrat might be elected as delegate to con- gress.
 It would be proper for the people of Arizona to keep the statehood question alive and see that congress does not forget it amid the multi plicity of it's duties, but that is the business of united Arizona, and not of the democratic or the republican party. In view of this plain situa- tion, we think the voters will un- derstand in the approaching te-rito- rial and county campaigns, that the fervid orators who introduce this subject as a party issue are talking for offices and not for statehood.

very much alike. The feeling of re-
 sentiment bred by the rupture gradual
 ly becomes less acute and at the proper moment a friendly third party
 steps in and brings about a restora- ton of amicable relations. Possibly
 in our own case the process may be more rapid than usual
 VeloZs withdrawal follows that of Minister Russell, the last diplomatic representative of the United States to Venezuela about two months ago and that of Sleeper. secretary of legation, and Lieutenant Ruggles. military at tache about two weeks ago. The req son for the withdrawal of the Ameri- can legation from Caracas arose from the persistent refusal of Venezuela to give redress for governmental action by which all American interests in Venezuela were either destroyed or confiscated or to submit the claims of American citizens to arbitration. There are five of these claims. Those of A. J. Jaurett, the Orinoco Corporation. the Orinoco Steamship company, the New York and Bermudez Asphalt com pany and the Critchfield concession. Various attempts have been made by preceding administrations to settle the claims, Secretary Hay having gone so far one time as to lay down what was regarded almost as an ultimatum. Sec retary Root in 1907 in letter to Min ister Russell instructed him to demand immediate redress. Russell however was unable to obtain satisfaction from Castro's government which adhered to the position that there was no reason why Venezuela should arbitrate the claims.
 President Roosevelt sent the whole bearing upon the claims of congress long before the recent ses- sion closed, but it was evident that the senate would not initiate any ac- tion, although MT. Root appeared be- fore the committee on foreign relations repeatedly to discuss the situation Public opinion it was declared had not crystalliZed sufficiently to warrant the senate in taking action while the per sons and firms having commercial in terests in Venezuela which might be affected by punitive measures were urging that action be delayed
 An incident which caused consider able comment because of the strained relations was the opening of the mail of men on the cruiser Tacoma by offi- cials of the La Guafra postoffice. Cas- tro's reply was that it was done in

A PARTY'S PREDICAMENT.

While there was never a doubt of the nomination of MT. Bryan his followers could not feel perfectly al ease until it had been ascertained tC what extent the vote on the creden- tials committee report was a test those who supported the minority re- port were moved more by antagOn- ism to MT. Bryan than by any other consideration is certain, but it seemed hardly possible that the same forces should be held intact in opposition to his nomination.
 It is quite evident that Bryan could have been defeated in the primaries and the county and state conven- tions if there had been an organized effort to do so. The organization would have been easy if all who were opposed to his nomination had believed it wise to defeat him. Some of his enemies preferred a chance of democratic success to a certain re- publican victory and they believed rightly that the democracy had no other candidate who could reasonably be expected to bring about demo- cratic success. S-4.-$
 There was no other who could hold the radical element of the dem ocratic party together and the radical element is by far the largest part of it Bryan is its idol. If he were overthrown by the conservative wing, his followers would undoubtedly ex- press their resentment at the polls.
 The conservatives had not forgot ten the fate of Parker, with whose nomination Bryan professed satisfac- tion. His followers however knew that he was not satisfied and by their apathy if not by their active partic- ipation, Parker was overwhelmed.
 But if Bryan as a candidate for the nomination were defeated the conservative wing realized that the Bryan element would lead even the republicans in the slaughter of the democratic candidate
 This was the view taken by the conservatives early in the campaign for the nomination. Occurrences at Denver within the last four days have strengthened that view. The election of Bryan may be regarded as hope less but no more so than that of any other, democratic candidate. His en- emies seeing slaughter inevitable preferred that Bryan should be the slaughtered.

People do not like either the 'knocker' or the "hollerer," but it is human to hold the latter in less re- spect. This is merely the observa- ton of a fact and not a defense of knockers"

"Wags" ought to know that a yelp is a manifestation of pain, produced by a kick or some other act of violence. Though, sometimes, even a threat of violence is sufficient to evoke a yelp.
Arizona republican., 1908-07-10

The man who would "knock" "Wags" would be capable of cruelty toward the innocent lamb, yes, to- ward the unborn babe.

The Herald on Bryan.

Not only has Mr.. Bryan a good
fighting chance. now. but as Colo
mel Warerson very significantly re-
marks. there is every probability
that the chance will grow stronger as
the campaign develops.
No one now fears that his election
would provoke an industrial. COM
mercial and financial cataclysu.
As a matter of fact his speech OF
acceptance has strengthened rather
than shaken the public confidence.
MT. Bryan has evidently mellowei
IN retirement. While NJ. Roose-
welt has been growing steadily more
radical in his attitude toward eco
nomic questions. the Nebraskan has
been steadily growing more conserv-
auve and prudent. Il Is plain that
ne has completely recovered from
his violent attack Of free silverits
and no longer prescribes State own
ership Of everything as a remedy COR
all economic ailments.
Moreover. he is indisputably the
idol Of an imposing section Of the
American electorate. Even those
Democrats who repudiated emphat-
icaly Mr.. Bryan's most extravagant
theories have been forced 10 admit
that his influence with the rank ana
file Of the party is unrivaled and un-
diminished and have recognized
that truth by again enrolling for
service under his banner. New
