THE OUTBREAK
 BY GOVERNOR
Received in Some Quar-
 ters With Surprise
Still. Says MT. F. M. Murphy It Might Have Been EX- pected.

President F. NJ. Murphy of the s.
 F. P and P, Orleans LOngacre, gen. eral manager os the properties of the Development Company of America at Poland, and r. P. Cruice. arrived in the city late yesterday afternoon on their way to the southern part of the territory. They had arrived at Con-
 gress the night before and spent half of yesterday there. They left for the south last night. MT. Murphy will return north in a few days, but will be in Phoenix again some time after the 21st in company with MT B. P. Cheney of Boston, one of the directors of the Santa Fe system and extensive ly interested in the Development Com pany of America.
 MT. Murphy was asked what he had to say in regard to the attack made by Governor Kibbey yesterday after noon upon the corporations of the ter ritOry and upon those who had offer ed. for one reason or another, opposi- tion to the instruction of delegates to the national convention. MT. Murphy replied that he had seen no report of the remarks of the governor. Said he: T have been told that the governor had taken advantage of the convention 10 speak in uncomplimentary terms of corporations. That is rather d sur prise to me, though I suppose it should have been expected. The governor would like to have it appear that he controls the political situation and he would like to deliver delegation to the national convention.
 Being confronted by a very credit able spirit of independence on he part of a majority of the republicans of the territory who claim the right to voice their own sentiments, inde pendent of dictation and manipulation it appears that the governor has lost his head and said things which prob ably later on he will regret, though maybe not. Personally, 1 do not feel like taking his public statements and utterances, made under the prevail ing influences, as seriously as some do, though I confess that 1 am some what disappointed to find that some people in whom we have allowed our selves as republicans to repose con- fidence so far as their integrity, loy- alty and political patriotism, are con- cerned, have surrendered to the dic- tatorial influences that have been so effective, prevalent and damaging throughout the country generally; and to find that they are using as they apparently are, the cheap political harangues of the demagogues against capital and the corporations to gain a political advantage.
 'I feel however, that the repubn- cans of Arizona as rule, can be trusted and that when it comes to a show down they will be found in their proper places. standing independently for the best interests of the republi- can party in the territory and repre- senting to the fullest extent of their ability in the national convention that will meet in Chicago, republicanism. unhampered by instructions.
 Tt is quite natural to expect that the governor would be pleased if he were able to say to President Roose- vent and Secretary Taft, in whom, by the way the republicans of Arizona have the greatest confidence, that he has been able to deliver the goods But I am inclined to think that when the goods are delivered. regardless of whom they may be delivered to, it | will be found that the contribution to | the national convention made by the | republican party of Arizona, will | represent the true sentiment of the | party as such, and not the manipulat- ing influences of federal officials, | though such a result may prove very disappointing to those who feel that | they have right to say to the repub- licans of the territory what is good | and proper for them, and as would-be | political manipulators, disregarding the rights of citizens of Arizona to do and to think for themselves
