CAMPAIGN NOW
 REACHING END.


 Only one more week remains of the campaign. A week fem today all the arguments will have been submitted and few voters win remain undecidea in the matter of thei, choice of candi- dates. The only remaining work will be that of getting the voters to the polls, The campaign this year started in a decidedly apathetic way and m most states it has remained so. But, in the great states of New York. Ohio and Indiana, all conceded to be doubt full, both the republicans and demo crats are putting forth every effort and will fight desperately next week to hold their present strength and gain more if possible.
 Nationally, the campaign has been yone free from any charges or even re- factions upon either Judge Taft or Mir. Bryan. Neithe- have been assail- ed otherwise than hecause of their po- htical policies. Tkere have been charges against individuals closely connected with both party manage. ments, but there has not been one word refecting on the character ot either presidential candidate.
 The independence party, headed by William Randolph Hearst, which en- tered the political arena with great flare of trumpets aud beating of tom toms, mostly in She' columns of the Hearst newspapers, has, apparently, attracted but little attention in any section of the country and no one is giving any consideration whatever to Mir. Hisgen, the Hearst presidential candidate. He will get a few votes here and there, to !;e sure, but no one expects that his votes will amount to enough in any state to change the result were it cast Iuc the losing can didate
 The socialists have been unusually active in the campaign and the prob ability is that Debbs will be able to show larger vote than be received four years ago, but it will not be pos sible for the socialists to elect a single member of congress.
 In the contest between Judge Taft and Col Bryan Ih- result today is conceded :o be in doubt, even by many Of the partisan republican lead CTS and newspaper. Mir. Bryan has made a gaining campaign from .he day of his nomination in Denver; he has had the support of a reunited democratic party which has been bad, ly divided since 1SS5. Unless the re- publicans can succeed in turning the tide now flowing swiftly to the demo cratic candidate they are doomed to defeat.
 Locally the campaign in Arizona has brought out unusual effort by the republicans, but they have been han dicapped by the fact that their csndi- date for congress IS known to be with out such qualification as should be possessed by man chosen to repre- sent a territory or state in congress. In some localities in the territory the republicans may be able to show i'm material gains ever the vote received two years ago, but as a whole. the territory, it is confidently believed, will give a majority for Mark Smith, the democratic candidate. of sufficient magnitude as to result in discourage ment for the republicans in the future
 The campaign involving the cleo tion of county officers Ia Cochise county has attracted not a great de& of attention. The democrats have named an unusually strong ticket, placing upon it men known for their competency and worthiness of the confidence Of the people. The nor nal democratic majority in Cochise is believed 10 be near enc thousand and with a splendid ticket and the absence of any factionaI fighting among the leaders there is hardly a possibility of the republicans bring able to elect a single man on thei. ticket.
