Arizona republican., 1910-09-13

Arizona yesterday declared unequi- ad recall Hope of statehood was pit ted against that doctrine in so plain a manner that it can not be misun- derstood. Incomplete returns, but nearly enough complete, received at the office of The Republican last night show that the republican party of this territory will have very little to do with the making of the constitution which is to be sent to congress and the president as a test of the ability of the people of the territory to lay the foundation for new state. From midnight indications not more than ten of the fifty-two delegates in the constitutional convention will be republicans.
 Pima is the banner republican county with a full delegation. Hon. Eugene s. Ives, one of the leaders of the democratic party and one of the formulators of the platforms of the party, fell by the wayside. next to the lowest man on his ticket
 Early returns from Gila indicated that the labor party had carried that county but a little later it was stated that it had as usual gone democratic. Cochise had probably elected a full democratic delegation of ten. Yavapai elected all democrats except one, Judge E. w. Wells.
 The only other republican county heard from except Pima was Coconino which sent two delegates. Navajo was divided, sending a democrat and republican. Yuma, a fOregone con- clusion, elected a solid democratic delegation Pinal which early returns indicated would be republican elected democrats by more than the usual ma jority.
 There had been reasonable hope that the republicans might secure two of the delegation from rock ribbed Graham. There was supposed to be a serious democratic split there but the brethren there on election eve must have discovered some efficacious cement for they rolled up majority like those they used to give Mark Smith in the old days.
 Apache has not been heard from but it will probably send q republican.
 Santa Cruz sent a democrat. Thus to the constitutional convention Pima will contribute five republicans; Yavapai, l. COconino, 2; Navajo, l; and Apache, 1.
 Though the republican chairman of Gila county at late hour was claim ing the election of the republican ticket a considerable democratic area had not been heard from.
 In the course of the afternoon tele- grams received at this office from several points in the territory were of the most reassuring character It seemed certain, so correspondents said that Yavapai would be sOlidly re- publican. Another said that the party could not lose in dear old Cochise. Victory was already all but grabbed in Graham; the count was a mere forma- lity made necessary by the election laws It was a cinch in Pinal It was not difficult at that stage of the game to count up good republican working majority in the constitutional convention.
 But all such dreams vanished at nightfan. All these illusions were dis sipated in the clear moonlight
 The following pretty conclusive re- turn had been received from all counties in the territory except Apache and Mohave this morning The former will undoubtedly he re- publican. There is no republican candidate in the latter Lovin. demo- cratic, has probably beaten St. Charles, laborite
