T IS \ TOSS:UP
 FOR PRESIDENT
w. s. Fields Says Taft Is Not a Popular Candidate in
 the East.

DOUGLAS, June 23-(SpeciaIJ- In the opinion of W. s. Fields, law yer for the Kicking Kickapoos, it's a toss-up as to the identity of the next president of the United States. Mr. Fields has just returned to Douglas after a trip to bis office at Washing. ton.
 T am a republican ana shall sup port Ine ticket, l suppose" he said, "but can't answer for thousands in the east among whom Taft is an un- ror r cand date. The steam roller at Chicago has caused many disaffec- tons in the ranks. The east did not want Taft for candidate; the east took him because it was either Taft or me and of everybody in the Unit ed States the east doesn't want Roose- welt. It's going to be a mighty close race and as a betting proposition no one is entitled to odds either way.'N
 Locally, about tie same feeling ex- ists as that described by MT. Field. The rank and -4e Of the republican party make no allowance for the trend towards conservative radicalism thae has engulfed the country and think because Bryan was twice defeated he VIII NGlACAAls D6 BCdlCh Gzdln- AL least that Is the way many of the re- publicans of Douglas feel about it, despite the fact that the first man who is really enthusiastic over Taft's candidacy is yet to he found
 After the nomination of Sherman of New York, who is one nf Cannon's s little band of popular legislation stranglers in the house. some one on G avenue remarked to Charles PuT- don, a republican in politics that Taft and Sherman would make a strong ticket.
 "Yes, too strong" answered Pur- don; the American people won't stand for it"
 Tbe strength he had in mind is the strength of a brace game. Since RooseFelt's self-abnegat on Purdon is a Bryan booster. In his opinion the Nebraskan will sweep the country like a prairie fire. Other Douglas re publicans are of the same opinion.

BRYAN WILL BE ELECTED, SAYS
 MARCUS SMITH
Arizona's Delegate Discusses Anti-lniunction Plank in Re- publican Platform, Says It Is Nothing But a Blind"

The outlook for the supremacy of Democracy at the coming fall cleo tion never seemed brighter. judginL from the expression of Hon. Marcus A. Smith. Arizona's delegate to con gress. The Republicans in their con vGntion at Chicago have not only failed to nominate a man who can beat Bryan, but have utterly failed to give Taft platform on which he can run with any hope of success.
 The Republicans have done abso- lutely the best they possibly could. ' said Delegate Smith Saturday. They have formulated platform in which they have said the least they possibly could, and said it in the most general terms.
 The injunction plank in/ the Re publican platform is nothing but a farce-a sop thrown to the union la bor vote of the country to bring that vast army of men to the support of the ticket. The plank says absolute ly nothing and pledges the party to no obligation to enact legislation which will insure a cur+silment of the powers of the courts to grant in- functions. A man does not have to be a lawyer to see these things. l challenge any man to take the Repub- lican plank on the anti injunction measure and make anything out of it. This article is the platform in what the ''allies" wanted in spite of the administration and all of it's forces.
 "The outlook for the nomination of Bryan and his election were never brighter. The Republicans had only one man to run and that was Roose- welt. Taft cannot carry his strength and it IS undoubted that the Democ- racy of the country will line up in back of Bryan"

DEMOCRATS GATHERING
 IN NORTH CAROLINA
State Convention Is To Be Held
 at Charlotte Today, /.

CHARLOTTE, N. C., June 23.-Del- egates and visitors are pouring into Charlotte for the democratic state convention which is to meet here to- morrow to cncose the man who will succeed Governor Glenn in the guber, material office in North Carolina. The convention promises to be- one of the most interesting as well as one of the largest that has been held in North Carolina in many years
 The race for the governorship is a three-cornered one. The leader in the contest apparently is William W. Kitchin of Person county who has been actively canyassing the state for several months past MT. Kitchin served si consecutive termss in Ncon- gress as the representative of the fifth district and rtired voluntarily from that office. Mir. Kitchin is known as the foe of the corporations and com binations of capital, and especially the Southern railway, whose faithful old enemy of long standing he is
 MT. Kitchin is closely pressed for the honor of first place in the race by Locke Craig of Asheyille, who is ! known as the mountain candidate Mir. Craig is seif-made man grad uate of the University of North Caro- lima and leader of the state bar He has been prominent in politics for some years and fisk nowu as ready and effective speaker. He is a former member of the general assembly.
 The third man in the gubernatorial contest is Ashley Horne, a prominent business man. Mir Horne made a favorable impression in his canvass but it is not believed he will succeed in wrestling the nomination from his two opponents.
 In, addition to naming a state ticket tomorrow's convention will choose delegates to the national convention at Denver. The presnt indications seem to point to Bryan instructions.

(Nogales Oasis)


 Last week there appeared in the columns of The Oasis the unwelcome information that the Yaquis had bolt ed the arrangements to enter into a treaty of peace with the Mexican au- thorities, and that hostil4ties had been resumed-a bit Of news that was most bitterly deplored by alP having property interests or interests in en- terprises of whatever nature in the great state of Sonora, that has been crippled so seriously and retarded so greatly in development by the unfor- tunate condition of affairs between the Yaquis and the Mexican people.
 Later information is at hand to the effect that General Lorenzo Torres, with a force of four thousand men. has surrounded the YaqUis in their vast stronghold in the Bacatete noun tains, and occupying all sources of water supply he trusts that he will force their surrender on account of thirst IL is to be hoped that the news so youchsafed may prove true. But whether that bit of Information be true or not it is up to the Mexican government and the Mexican people ''to make good" in this Yaqui matter. They are on trial at the high tribUn- al of Ihs opinion Of the civilized world and both governRent and people will find sooner CT later that they will have an accounting to make before that most august tribunal, just as had Spain so make an accounting in Cuba. It is against the very genius of mod ern civilization that a mere handful of sayages such as are the Yaquis should teTrorize 8 great state, para lyze its commerce, deyastate it's fair regions and set at naught the efforts of Q great government to maintain peace within it's borders No matter where the blame is nor with whom lies the fault, the condition is intol- erable, and it is high time that the condition was changed. And it is up to tho Mexican government to change it, and bring abont peace and security in Sonora, if it should require the en- tire Mexican army to accomplish the result Unless permanent and last ing peace is effected and that very shortly, civilization will not hold the Mexican government and people biaIreless These words of the Oasis

TIE YAQUI SITUATION IN
 TIE STATE OF SONORA

are from a friend to Mexico and the Mexican people, one holding a high regard for both the people and their government, and wishing to see their great state of Sonora realize all the vast usufruct of her splendid re- sources, which cannot be done in the present condition of affairs, w,ti a handful of. hostile sa7ages ravaging their state, rendering travel and traf- fic impossible, running it's agriculture, checking and destroying the develop ment of it's great an inexhaustfble mineral resources, diverting and drfy- ing out capital and killing of all en- terprise. Such condition of affairs lis an anomoly in this twentieth cen tury.
 The policy of deportation of the Va quis, of which so much has been said and promised, is all well in theory, but in practice it has failed to sork out. The main cause of it's failure is that the authorities have not caugh and deported tine right Yaquis. It is the hostiles who should be caught and depoTted. Not those who can be gath cred up about the towns mines and haciendas. No doubt the peaceab!e Yaquis contribute from their earnings to keep in the field the hostiles, sup plying them with provisions, clothing, arms and ammunitions: but they ,wonld not do that were not the hos tiles In the field to be so supplied.
 Beneath the surface there is much criticism indulged in among both na- tives and foreigners in Sonora. Criti- cism of not only methods in dealing with the horrible situation, but going down even to the causes. Those criti- cisms the Oasis has no intention of voicing. It calls attention of its friends among the Mexican people and in their government to the fact that the time for excuses has passed. Ac- ton and results are what the civilized world will demand in Sonora, just as it did in Cuba, and it will be better to supply that action and furnish those results before the demand is made.
