If the Democratic party is to main

has come for RELOCATING to the politi-
cal bone yard all propositions except
the one giving the voter the right to

1t is certainly the desire of all good
Democrats that the strongest man in
the party should receive the nominal
ton for sheriff and that the race for
sheriff should be kept free from any
precinct contest.
Likewise it is the desire that the
strongest men before the Democratic
voters should receive the nomination
for constabhes and justices of the
peace, but the Democrats should guard
against any combinations where pre-
cinct officers will be used to nominate
a weak candidate for sheriff or vice

On old-tashioned Democratic principle
J Allow majority of Democratic vot-
ers to decide contest-Let the people
rule"
A Democrat, who is employed in
one OF the local mines yesterday said
TO The Review: Il don't know how
the Democrats around town feel about
the proposition but you will find that
nine-tenths of the Democrats working
in the mines will favor the direct
primary plan. It's pam, square
PROPOSITION, of giving the individual
voter chance. That's what we
want
Another Democrat said to the ed
itor of the Review; The direct pri-
mary plan is the honest, open and
above board plan to select our dele
gates and give the rank and file of
the party chance to say who they
want to receive the vote of the Bis
bee delegation for sheriff. Who in.
tends to take the responsibility of
making up a slate of Bisbee dele
gates and how is the voter to know
who these delegates will favor for
any nomination. IL a slate of dele
gates is in favor of certain sheriff,
who will that slate favor for treas.
urer? Who will that slate favor for
justice of the peace? Who will that
slate favor for constable? The voters
are still interested in these offices.
Why not have the direct primary plan,
an easy and simple way to give each
voter the opportunity of expressing
his choice for each and every Office
where candidates from Bisibee are
cCncerned?'
The best argument advanced yes
terday in favor of one official primary
ballot was that every individual voter
takes an interest. The voter knows
who he desires to see nominated and

him to record his choice. There viii

which Knocked a clean home run, but
on account of his failure to touch first
base neither the hit nor run could be
counted
The third game was more exciting
than any, Galbraith pitched a pretty
steady game, keeping the hits well
scattered and tanning 10 men. Gam
Bile was at ais best and with proper
support the game would have been a
shut out.
The Clifton boys are shy on team
work and appear TO be lost whenever
they get on bases, allowing their op-
ponents to lead them off and put
them out, when a little more care
would show them to be more thor
oughly trained and better team. Har-
mon and Sullivan can pitch better
ball than they did here and unless
they were temporarily out of form
each did wrong in failing to 90 all
he could for the team that was

GOOD PROGRAM
At OPENING Of
!. N. c. 4. TERM
Physical Director Holt Has
Been Working Hard With
His Glasses in the Various
Branches of the Work.

Tonight the Young Mems Christian
Association will have its formal open
ing of the fab season in its physica
department
Physical Director Holt has been
working hard with his classes in the
various branches of the work during
the past two weeks and is providing
a very unique program, consisting o.
the following:
Basket ball game, C. Q. Store VS.
High School.
Exhibition of lessons in fencing by
the fencing class.
German Horse gymnastics by the
senior gym class.
Relay race by the senior class.
Exhibition of lessons in boxing by
the boxing class.
Volley ball by the business mems
Free gymnastics by the senior gym
class.
Running and maze drill by the senior
gym class.
The program will start promptly at
$3.50 with the basket ball game be-
tween the C. @. Store and the Bisbee

McAllister, forwards; Hector Pro
vencher, center; Joe Doris and Dan
McAllister, guards.
High School-Sam Benton and Wal
ter O'Malley, forwards; RUDE Woods,
center; John O'Malley and VIII
O'Malley, guards.
The game promises to be lively
one from beginning to end. The other
parts of the program will be given
about in the order named above.
The exhibition work of the differ
ent classes are simply to demonstrate
TO the men of the camp just what in
struction they can get at the associa-
ton.
This is only a preliminary exhibit
ton but is attracting widespread at
tention on account of the fact that
so many branches are being taught
that have never been attempted in the
local association before this season.
The entire building will be open to
all men of the camp, whether mem
bers of the association or not, from
6 O'Clock in the evening until closing
time.
Refreshments will be served free

ion,

full blast during the evening.
Two games of the billiard tourna'
ment viii be played as follows:
Thomas and Blair at 200 O'Clock and
Marshall and Marez ar $3.50 O'Clock.
Great interest is being taken in all OF
the games of shis tournament on &C
count OF the class of players that
have entered and tonight's games viii
probably prove a good drawing card in
itself.
