REPUBLICAN, LEADERSHIP

Cochise county republicans are all ready getting ready for their regular semi-annual defeat. It is now pro posed that Charles Purdon of Douglas shall lead those marked for sacrifice, as chairman of the county central committee. k. A. Kirk is the present chairman and he would no doubt be continued in the position but for the fact that he is going to Phoenix as secretary of the territorial fair com mission. Purdon is rated as politi- clan of unusual caliber; he is believed to have been the man behind in the recent city campaign in Douglas. How ever, it remains to be seen whether friends of C. M. Holmes will agree to there being more than one republican leader in Cochise county. Holmes is the leader of the Bisbee republicans and it is rot unlikely that he will as- pire to the leadership of the party in the county. Both Holmes and Purdon were prominent in the republican scrap in this county which resulted in two delegations going from this coun, ty to the territorial convention
 Holmes was handling the Powell faction in Bisbee while Purdon was in the background preparing the ammu milton for the Smith followers. It is doubtful if the claim to leadership can be reconciIed between these two men. Both are comparatively new men in the county and both are ambitious in the meantime the old-time repnPli' cans seem to be quite willing thai some tenderfoot shall assume the re- sponsibility for republican chances ir Cochise county this fall.

DRY FARMING.

The visit of Prof Clothier of the Arizona university of Tucson to this }ounty will quite naturally stimulate 'uterest in the subject of dry farming democrats, as a national organization in the sulphur Springs and San simon valleys.
 Prof. Clothier has given careful study to this new method of cultlyat- ing the soil in countries where the rainfall is not sufficient to produce crops without irrigation and where there is not sufficient surface water with which to irrigate the land.
 According to Prof. Clothier and others who have made a study of the dry farming methods it has proven successful in localities where the rainfall amounts to no more than it does in many of the valleys of Ari- zona, notably the valleys in Coehise county; notably has the dry farming method produced good crops in Utah and Wyoming, where the amount of rainfall does not exceed that in this territory.
 The dry farming method is simple and when explained convinces one of its practicability. It is a method of holding the moisture in the soil after it has been received from the falling rain. Deep blowing is necessary and must be frequent, not as means of cultivation, but as a means of prepar- , ing the soil to take and hold the nee | essary moisture After the deep blow ! ing the surface of the land must be ] pulverized and not allowed to bake. : This buiverized surface prevents tue cscare of the moisture from Sbelow Remove a board from where it has lain for long time and you will find the soil under 1t to be moist; this is the theory of the dry farming method The pulverized surface holds the mois ture in the soil.
 To prepare a piece of land for pro
 ducing a crop by the dry farming
 method requires time, hence a farme should divide his land and when h. is cultivting one piece other piece
 should be in a state of preparation fo succeeding crop.
 The dry farming method should b given the closest study by the peopl of Arizona. 1t is a proposition whicf if made successful, will add grea , wealth to the territory and support , population much larger than that no' depending on the mining industry.

THE DEMOCRACY AT DENVER.

While the republican papers are trying to make it appear that the na- tional democratic convention is to be under the complete domination of Col | onel Bryan, there is no other evidence of such intention or desire either on | the part of Colonel Bryan or his : friends. Even if such were to be the result there is no reason for alarm. Colonel Bryan will most assuredly be consulted about matters of import ance which will come before the Den yer convention; he is to be the candi- date of the party and his views on matters of government will be at home in a democratic convention and since many of them have been adopted as the underlying support of the RoOse- welt policies, over which the national republican convention went wild in applause for forty-fve minutes, that party is estopped from assailing them or their adoption.
 Reports from Denver aAd Lincoln have not yet brought even a 'tenta- tive" draft of the democratic platform, but intimations have been given out that the more important work of form ing a declaration of principles for the democratic campaign has been left for Q discussion and determination when the representatives of the party shall have assembled in the Colorado me tropolis This will be the reverse of the plan followed in formulating the republican platform for the Chicago convention. It was known long before Chairman New rapped the convention to order that the Tentative" platform had been prepared and submitted to the white house for approval; the original draft was outlined by the president and the completed printed document was submitted for his ap proyaI and the real leaders of the party and those who must be depended upon to carry the burden of the approach ing campaign for Taft were not con suited about what should or what should not be said in the platform these leaders, such as Cannon, Fair banks, Knox, Hughes, Foraker, LaFol Iette and their followers, did not even have a Took in" until the platform had been fixed.
 The democratic leaders already a Denver are proceeding with the worl of the convention calmly and without loud sounding of the trumpets; they seemingly recognize that now is tlE; opportunity for bringing the demo crats once more into harmonious'ae ton which means certain victory Three is no cause for division of sen timent among democratic leaderi now; they can all stand together il one supreme effort to overthrow thu marty which has stood for class faY oritism, which as stood for protec tive tariff and the resulting trust com binations, which has stood for the de struction of competition in the indus fries and which has stood for everin creasiDg extravaganza.
 No one need be uneasy about th' democratic platform which will com' from Denver next week. It will b one on which all democrats can stan' and proudly battle for success
