So far as Coconino county repub- licans are concerned, they were practicallyun animous in their sent iments against instructing dele gates to the national convention, but if the instructionists had won, there would not have been any bolt or hard feelings. but they would have done as they always have done got into the harness and worked to sustain the will of the majority.
 Bolting does not mean much now days. except that minority get an- gry because they do not happen to be in control. and it is too thor oughly understood to sink very deep into the hearts of the general public, no matter how angry few politicians may feel about it.

The sun intends to represent all of the stock interests of Northern Arizona and we want the stockmen with us. The stock interests are undoubtedly the main stay of this section of the country and are bad ly in need of paper to see that they get square deal all along the line. Anything of interest to stockmen, is of interest to the Sun. When we say "stock interests we mean all kinds of stock and no dis crimination against any.
 So far the Sun reaches great majority of stockmen. bat we would like to have them all on our list. If you have anything to say we want to print it in the Sun where all interested will see it. if you have items of general interest don't forget to tell the Sun. A united effort is ne sded to accomp- fish things and stockmen should get together at least on the main pro- position.

committee. six were solidly for Taft, and they named honest men, known all over the territory for their uprightness and fairness. The four counties controlled by the interests were Navajo. Coconino. Yavapai and Pima. Navajo had elected a Taft delegation with the exception of one, but, unfortu- nately,. some of the Taft men were personal enemies. and two of them, finding themselves unable to attend the convention of sickness in their families, had given their proxies to man named Henderson, on his solemn promise to vote the proxies for the Taft people in the conven- tion. Henderson is an employe of the Santa Fe railroad. A majority of the Coconino county delegation had been captured by the inter ests, and F s. Breen, who is said to have a grievance against the national administration, h e d enough proxies to name himself as one of the committee on creden- tials. Yavapai county named Jim Doran. long known to be closely affiliated with Frank Murphy. president of tn, Santa Fe lines in Arizona. Pima county named AL fred Donau. who was dismissed by Governor Kibbey from the board of equalization because he would not stand for raising the taxes of the railroads and mining companies. Thus the anti-Taft combination had four representatives on the creden- tials committee.
 While we didn't know much about Pima and Yavapai counties being grabbed by the interests, '" it is certain that Navajo and Coco nino interests" were the peoples interests and no one dare insist otherwise.
 As to our grievance, Charlie. that's wrong, yod know. and when the sting of defeat and the warm, irritated feeling has passed away, you will l, know. feel that you have been unjust.
 As to Peter Henderson of Maya jo. the truth of the matter was that he was jobbed out of one vote, which vote was voted by a man whom the republicans of Navajo were against first, last and all the time, and when old Pete Henderson says he was for a square deal and knew nothing of interests, you have to believe him-every one else does in his county.

Message to Legislature,
Which Convened Yester-
day-Urges Fair Trial of
Prohibition.
Nv asSoctsted Press


Atlanta, June 24.-The Georgia Reg
islature met today for its regular an
nual session. Senator James T. F1ynt,
of Griffin, was elected president OF
the senate to succeed Senator John
w. AIKEN, who died last October
After listening TO the reading OF
Governor Smiths message, both
houses adjourned until tomorrow.
In his message the governor urges
that prohibition be given fair trial,
and recommends that no effort be
made to change the existing law ex-
cept to perfect it
Referring 10 the work of the rail
road commission, the governor said its
work had been wise and conservative,
and concludes with the warming:
That unless the states perform
their part of the task of supervision
and regulation over corporations, the
national government will absorb the
entire power, and Capitalization will
follow at a pace so rapid that the re-
serve powers of the state will be
greatly in danger"
Governor Smith suggests that a
law similar to the federal liability
law be passed, and urges honesty in
elections.
The senate adopted a resolution de-
plOrTng the death of Grover CIeve-
land.
