 sent to aid him. That is the time when gratitude shows itself; when one is fighting an up hill fight. HAsuccess were smiling upon Mir. Foraker from every turn. he would not need oGr help. It is not fair test of grat- itude to be called to the aid of the sure winner. But who knows that Senator Foraker is engaged in a los ing fight; our help may make it winning one. So far, 1t Is anybody's fight, and of all candidates there is none who looms before the country more conspicuously as an able states man than Senator Foraker
 There is another thing which would make the instruction of delegation frnu Arizona for Tsfi as against For al:er an act of ingratitude of partic- ularly mean and despicable character. Tho Taft and Forak 1T forC2s ar, TOW lengaged in Ohio in a fight to the death. The Taft forces are seeking by every means in their power. the political and social destruction os Mir. Foraker. We cannot blame Taft for that fight for that is politics He is under no obligations to Foraker, but we are, and we cannot aid and abet the antagonist of our benefactor.
 The Taft movement in Arizona is practical politics. It is not designed for the benefit of the people of the territory, but it is hoped that by the success of 1t, those now in office un- der the present administration may be given a more secure tenure The Republican party Of Arizona has no interest in the tenure of office. It makes no difference to them what Re publicans hold the offices, just so they are held by Republicans. They will not be willing to disgrace themselves as ingrates in order that certain Re publicans may enjoy appointive posi- tions. Nor can they afford to imperil the party in the territory for such purpose. For, if by any means, the unexpected should happen, and an in- structed delegation should be sent from Arizona against Foraker, it would blast the party in the territory for the next four years at least The disgust oS large element of the party would be so intense that 1t is doubtful if county officer could be elected in Arizona.
 T have been amazed by the mean ness of certain Arizona Republicans and Republican newspapers, whose opposition to Senator Foraker has taken the form of gross insult Not long ago I saw Mir. Foraker referred to by a Republican newspaper as Fire Alarm Joe,' an epitAet bestow- ed upon him by Democratic opponents some years ago. Less than two years ago, this same newspaper, in common with all the other newspapers of the territory. Republican and Democratic, proclaimed him as the savior of Ari- zona. If Mir. Foraker was the savior then, is he not so yet? What has he done to alienate our gratitude to him?
 There is behind this opposition to him now, an unspeakable selfishness, which should be rebuked by the party TOT the good name or the party ana the whole territory If it is not re- buked in the selection of delegates to the national convention we shall have put whip in the hands of the Democrats of the territory with which they will properly lash us for such CUTS as we would be-"
 Mir. Morrison was asked regarding the sentiment in Yayapai county He replied that the inquiry might be construed as reflection upon the honor of the Republicans of Yavapai. ''Yayapai," said MT. Morrison, win not favor an instructed delegation for Taft; it will not favor any action which might be regarded as hostile to Foraker. The people oi Yavapai lc.mn.
