affidavit was filed by Adams. Tribo- let and others of Phoenix charging Public Examiner Foster of Phoenix with having been too active in poli- tics and claiming that under the rules of President Roosevelt he should not be longer continued in office by the governor. In Tucson it has been stated that Kirkpatrick, the supposed leader of that city. refused-to vote in the caucus of the Pima delegation on the matter of how the vote of that county should be voted on the adop- tion of the report of the committee on credentials. R. A. Kirk of Bisbee raised mild protest because of the
 manner of procedure in the late "un- pleasantness." Kirk believes there should have been only a committee on credentials appointed before the question of contesting delegations had been passed on, so that all the coun- ties could have been represented on the committee on resolutions.

who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow in the territory?
 What is troubling Bell and his can didate for congress is the fact that the railroad men, the miners. the stockmen, the business men and the professional men of Arizona are an nouncing their continued preference for the man who has served Arizona faithfully for twenty years, the man who was strong enough in Washing ton to smite the joint statehood bill to it's death If it is agreed that Ari- zona shall be admitted as single state. who is entitled to the gratitude of the people of Arizona for bringing this satisfactory condition about more than Mark Smith?
 The man who wrote this ridiculous rot is the sam man who accompanied Eugene Brady O'Neill to Prescott a week ago and, after MT. o'Neill had finished making his speech in advo- cacy of his candidacy for delegate to congress, delivered himself of the fol- lowing trade against one who has served Arizona for twenty years in congress and upon whose political es- cuteheons there cannot be found a single spot or blemish:
 This man is against Mark Smith, who' always was, is now. and always will be the hired henchman of the Southern Pacific, and yet you can't take him seriously.
 Twenty years of Mark Smith; twenty years of corporation rule and ruin; twenty years of hell. and now that you've got man, Eugene Brady O'Neill, who will fight to right these i twenty years wrongs for you, you say you cant take him seriously. Un- less you wantt wenty years more of the same corporation greed, grab and graft rule, you'd better take him ser iously and clean out this Augean sta ble."
 After such a tirade as this against Mark Smith no one will be likely to ! take seriously anything that Bell may say of Arizoaa's honored delegate to congress.
 We are surprised that MT. o'NeiIl did not follow Bells tirade on the honored leader of the democracy ir { Arizona and repudiate the sentiment expressed. Neither Mir. Bell nor any one else can pursue such campaign

The Arizona republicans washed their dirty linen behind closed doors in Tucson and except those who were members of the committee on creden- tials no one can say what was the testimony presented to support the claims of the various contesting dele gations. When the two reports were made to the convention there was not even a statement of the opposing forces in support of either report and of course the body of the convention had no knowledge whether the adop- tion of the minority report was just or unjust However, it has leaaed out that there was some interesting testimony submitted to the creden- tials committee concerning what hap pened in Phoenix during the caucuses and primaries held in that city.

The New Mexico democrats have decided to nominate their candidate for delegate to congress in the month of June, so that he will have suffi- cient time to make thorough can vass of the territory. There never has been time sufficient given in Ari- zona for a congressional campaign and we are heartily in favor of mak- ing the nominations earlier. No man can make a canvass of Arizona in thirty days and in the past but little more time has been given for this work. When the democratic conven- tion meets in Tucson next month it . would be well to consider this matter and if it is thought best to have an early examination the executive com nittee can be instructed accordingly.

GRAVE DANGER.

The democrats will be a lot of chuckle heads if they nominate Mark Smith. He is no runner. His plat. form is a howl for statehood. which is now no issue, as all people are agreed that Arizona shall be admitted as a single state.
 On the other hand he is weighted down with the support of the rail. roads and the support of the gam blers and will have the active oppo- sition of every miner and every labor ing man in Arizona. The Western Federation of Miners Is prepared to fight him and that means one of the hardest fights the democratic party oi this territory has ever confronted.- Phoenix Review.
 The above from the Phoenix Re view. edited by w. D. Bell, who repre- scented Maricopa county in the last legislature. will cause a smile to pass over the democratic face of Arizona Where did MT. Bell discover the fact that Mark Smith was not a runner? Mark Smith was first nominated for congress in 1886; since that time he has been nominated six times and during the seven campaigns. when he carried the democratic banner, there has never been any doubt about the party's triumph. He has one after another defeated the strongest men that the republicans could put up against him. including such men as oakes Murphy, Bob Morrison, the re publican giant Of the north, General Wilson, B. A. Fowler. and last, but not least, Billy" Cooper of Tucson. Just where this Maricopa legislator gets the idea that Mark Smith would not be strong candidate for the de mocracy we doubt if there is anyone who will feel like wasting the time to find out.
 The assertion that Mark Smith is weighted down by the support of the railroads is ridiculous. Why should the support of the men employed on the railroads of the territory be an evidence of weakness in any candi- date? No doubt Mr. Smith, like oth- CT people. feels that the votes of the railroad men are as desirable as those of any other class of voters. And what has happened during the last two years that would give foundation for the assertion that all the miners would be against the man who saved the territory from being joined into one state with New Mexico? In the past Mark Smith has found his great est strength in the mining camps of the territory and he is as popular in the mining camps today as at any time in the past
 By what authority does this Phoe- nix editor make the assertion that the Western Federation of Miners is pre- pared to fight a man who has never harmed a miner or any other man
