 him in other affairs; and if elected he finds carried into his private business the antagonisms he creates in an honest endeavor to do his public duty as he sees it; and these antagonisims are used to injure him there.
 The very considerations present. ed have kept out of the public ser vice some of the best and most competent men in Nogales, and have driven out of it in disgust others of the highest capacity and ability, whose services to the town would have been invaluable
 With the hope of getting through one election without engendering the i'll feeling and antagonisms that had prevailed in former years, the two political parties united practically ill putting up a single ticket two years ago. Both conven- ventions entered into an arrange ment by which committees ap- pointed from each met in joint session and formulated munici- pal ticket, which was reported back to the two conventions and adopt ed by each. It was a good ticket, in which the aim was to balance equally between the two parties the municipal offices. While hav- ing had no hand in it's framing (its editor being in the East at the time) THE OASIS supported the ticket so nominated. And for the reasons outlined. But an element in the town which is never happy unless it is opposing somebody or something. insisted upon having something to quarrel over; so they got together and nominated tick ct by petition, which was run against the amalgamated ticket nominated by the two party con- ventions. They induced some very good men to run, and these good men were subjected to the mortifi- cation of an overwhelming and ig- nominious defeat.
 Now that there approaches an other municipal election the same element that stirred up the trouble two years ago Is becoming active again, and is making propositions already with regard to candidates Recently the Times came forward with a proposition that there be placed in nomination (by mass convention presumably fourteen men as nominees for town trustees and that at the polls the electors can exercise their choices among the fourteen. That goes right back to the original proposition of that crowd, which is always to put uE somebody to be beaten.
 Why men should be made can. didates for offices that no one wants simply in order that, they may be beaten is one of the peculi- |

ign. Such declaration was not
 asked in the committee meeting.
 After the meeting had adjourned
 the statement was given out that
 Messrs. Clark and Cleveland, who
 represented the Taft management,
 thought it inadvisable to precipi-
 tate the issue at that time by ask
 ing such declaration. They pro-
 pose to get the sentiment of the
 people for or against Secretary
 Taft's presidential aspirations at
 the primaries, or at the county con-
 ventions which will be called in
 some counties. And right there,
 in the call for the primaries did
 the Taft management overlook
 very strong point. It was in the
 apportionment. So far as the
 writer has observed the Taft strength
 is the greatest in those counties
 where the joint-statehood vote two
 years ago was the strongest. Those
 counties are more apt to send dele
 gations instructed to support an
 instructed delegation to Chicago in
 Judge Tafps interest. In making
 the call for the convention the
 Ainsworth vote two years ago
 should have been included in the
 basis of representation as we'll as
 the vote cast for Cooper. It may
 be said with accuracy that upon
 such basis there would have been
 more Taft votes in the territorial
 convention than there will be with
 out. So there is an important
 point that the Taft managers have
 lost right at the outset. Another,
 although minor point lost by
 the Taft managers was the location
 of the convention at Tucson. It was their desire to have 1t at Phe-
 nix. They were beat by one vote,
 and the Maricopa county vote was
 what did it. Mr. George Mauk, the secretary of the committee, who has removed to Gila county since the committee was created, repre- , sents Maricopa county therein. He | gave his proxy to q Phoenix man, : with instructions to that gentle man to vote against Phoenix (so it : is explained). which was done.
 . As the matter stands now the
 question of instructions or not for
 the delegation to Chicago will go
 to the people at the primary elec-
 tions. If the Taft sentiment
 throughout the territory is so | strong as believed it will be man. ifested in the outcome at the prim. aries and county conventions. If
 it is overestimated, that latter con :, dition will be manifested in the same way. And good plan for ) the electors will be to take up the , issue and settle it right at the
 primaries. Let each voter, when { he casts his ballot at the primaries for delegates to his precinct from : the county convention, make the ballot read "for instructions for . Judge Taft," or against instruc- 7 tions for Judge Taft" Then name g his delegates. And let the delegates } in the county convention vote for 7 or against instructions as the ma l jority of votes cast in their re- g spective precincts shall show. D Where there is rlass convention ! let that convention, as the first : order of business, adopt resolu-
 tion for or against instruction. The selected delegates who will carry out

LESLIE SAYS KEEP THE OATH
COUNTY Judge Believes IL VIII Force

Judge Leslie of the county court dis
agrees with Judge Sears OF the district

oath in restraining Witnesses from perjury.

about one witness In ten win tell the whole
truth anyway. but l believe hat the tenth
will be kept to the truth by reason OF the
solemn oath which he lie forced to take

CAl lhE-fNeCGlplS OF CdLle were very
large this morning. 2SS cars being reported
in. This is the heaviest run for a Monday
SO far this year. II came, too, In spite OF
the fact that commission men generally
had cautioned shippers to avoid as far as
possible Cutting the market on Monday
and starving 1t the rest Of the week. The
arrivals. consisted very largely Of rangers,
with only a small sprinkling of other kinds.
There were a few corn-fed steers. but not
many. The proportion of cows was also
smaller than usual. There was a moderate
showing Of feeders, but no great surplus.
This means tat the great big bulk OF the
receipts consisted of range steers on the
beef order. The quality, however, was not
very good, there being a good many cattle
that were pretty common.
With large receipts and more or less
shaping up to be done, the market was
to take their time, especially SO as advices
from \ other selling points, all indicated
that there would be a sharp decline on all
kinds Of cattle. Thus 1t happened that the
forenoon was we'll advanced before very
much business had been transacted.
Feeder buyers were the first to get down
to business and the most desirable of the
feeding cattle had changed hands in very
good season. The prices paid for the best
cattle of that kind were Just about steady
with last week, but trashy and inferior
cattle were slow and weak.
When buyers of fat cattle finally got
down to business there was a fair move
range steers were lOal5c lower than last
week. Cows and heifers also experienced
about the same decline. Good corn-fed
beeves did not show much change, there
being only a few Of that kind here, the
best reaching 1920, Common to medium
corn-feds, which come more directly into
competition with rangers, were slow and
weak.
Everyone is warning the country against
shipping so many cattle for Mondays mar
ket. but the warnings so far have not
borne fruit, largely because there are SO
many points at which It Is difficult TO get
the cars just when they are wanted. In
other words, shippers are forced to use
the cars when they can get them and take
chances on the cattle getting here Mon
day.

Nowhere have 1 found business condi-

said j. L. Kennedy, home from a months
vacation trip to parts in the northwest
territories of Canada and In Illinois. The
banking, financial and Industrial conditions
in Omaha are better than any I have seen
anywhere and we ought to congratulate
ourselves on the conditions OF affairs here
in Nebraska"
Mr.. Kennedy spent two weeks In Can

that the country looks fine and the wheat
has an excellent stand. Harvest Is q long
ways off in Canada. WI weeks OF his
vacation were spent on a farm in LaSalle

but as he has not had a look at Nebraska
corn he does not know what the comparison
would be.
