OUR CORRESPONDENCE.

The Republican desires to say a word concerning it's special territorial correspondence, not at all for the purpose of self-praise, but solely from the viewpoints of the general reader and the citizen who is inter ested in giving Arizona all the le- gitimate publicity possible. The cor respondence is of two classes. One is rural, from the various agricul- tural districts in the county, and the other is from many of the important but more distant sections of the ter ritory, where no papers, or at best only weekly papers, are published.
 The rural correspondence consists of a vast aggregation of little items of neighborhood gossip, such as the professional humorist makes fun of. He can be- excused, for it is in line with his work. but unfortunately many large newspapers through their feeling of superiority over rural folk, fall into the same error and make sport of the country district and the

to her geographical location, is the center of the harness racing circuit As the country grows, however, the center moves westward, and Saint Paul is next in line.
 The track in Detroit does not com pare with that at the Minnesota State Fair, The Michigan city has a field only covering no acres while that at Saint Paul covers 240. The buildings are not as large nor as convenient while the grandstand will sect only 15O00, while the Saint Paul amphitea- tor will care for 10000, not to mention the track-side seats for 30000 more, The Detroit track itself is not as good as the Saint Paul track in respect to either soil or condition.
 In point of entries, the Detroit meet has heretofore had Saint Paul beaten. This year, however, with the entries of Highball, Sweet Marie. Minor Heir, Fleming Boy, not to mention the Patch family. the greatest of them all, the Saint Paul meet bids bair to rival if not excell, any meet ever held at De- troit.
 Of the no horses entered at the De- troit meet, 26 of the best will be seen in St. Paul. Added to this will be the great western horses and the north western horses, so that altogether, the racing meet at Saint Paul will be one of the greatest sporting events of the country.

CAMPAIGN ORGANIZATION.

It is believed the announcement made yesterday of the officers chosen to manage republican interests dur ing the territorial campaign, will be gratifying to the party in every county of the territory. The selec- tien of Hoval A. Smith of Bisbee as chairman is a good strategic move as we'll as the recognition of a man eminently fitted to conduct the busi- ness of the campaign. Cochise coun- ty is to be one of the chief battle fields of the campaign and MT. Smith is as familiar with conditions in that part of the territory as he IS with his own business which is very largely in Bisbee and vicinity. MT. Smith is of a strong and convincing personality and has been a resident of Arizona for many years, though it is comparatively recently that he has been prevailed upon to take an active working interest in politics. As a business man his career has been one of repeated and signal successes and the party is fortunate in secur- ing a man of his equipment who is willing to devote his time to the strenuous work of the campaign.
 Sims Ely, who has been named as secretary of the committee, needs no introduction to the people of Arizona His long connection with public af- fairs has acquainted them with his talent for organization and effective work. The democrats particularly have burning remembrance of the campaign four years ago when Mr. Ely in the same capacity contributed very materially to the reducing of the democratic plurality by several hundred votes and giving Mark Smith the biggest scare he has ex- perienced in the whole course of his political career. With more fortuitous circumstances this year than the par ty eyer faced before in this ter ritory, and with his experience of four years ago, it may be predicted that he will work even more effec- lively than before.
 L. w. Collins, who will be located at the Bisbee headquarters as assist ant secretary, is well known in both county and territorial politics as an indefatigable hustler. His campaign work in this county has hitherto se- cured him a local prominence in party councils and to his activity in part, have been credited many local victories. He will have much of the detail work to do and it is believed no more competent person could have been found for those important du- ties
 At a conference of MT. Cameron l and the party leaders last Saturday, night, it was decided that the financ l ing of the campaign should be under l the direction of J. c. Adams of this | city. MT. Adams has made a record | for the success of most of his under | takings and in matters of this sort | where bushes acumen is the most l necessary qualification MT. Adams | has never experienced a failure. He | will know what he wants to do ali the time, and then do it.
 With a candidate from the north, war office in the capital city, a general who knows no defeat in com mand on the battle-ground with a competent aide to see that his orders are obeyed, it will be written in the books that the democracy of Arizona in 1908, marched to its Waterloo.

Berlin, Jan. 13-Few signs were to

Dispatches from the provinces de
