GRAVE DANCER FOR ARIZONA.

1 Arizona is quite as strongly Demo cratic as New Mexico is Repub- liean, judging from the Constitu- tional delegation election returns. The New Mexico result was looked foA the Arizona result is a sur prise to the Democrats themselves, and much more of surprise to the Republicans of the Territory; tie Eastern Republicans did not look for a Republican victory, but the. Ter ritory Republicans have with req son felt much confidence. @
 New Mexico has only a very few safe, straight Democratic counties and many strong Republican eoun- ties, scarcely debatable. Arizona, on the other hand, has several safe Democratic srtongholds and praetic. ally nothing that is both Republican and undebatable. The big fight .fo1 the national Republican party in the new States will be to keep New Mex leo and capture Arizona. Arizona Las elected a Republican Delegate to Congress and the Legislature is well leavened with Republicans, but the Territory is still to be elassed aS Democratic territory, open to debate. New Mexico, on the other hand, is Republican by all its traditions bu: is in danger of being captured by the Democrats unless the Repub- licaR organization guarantees an ex- tra fine brand of good government and keeps up its fighting to the highest notch of efficiency,
 There is really grave danger that Arizona may be shut out of State hood if she frames a radical Con- stitution that the President and Congress cannot sanction. Her popu- lation is much smaller than that of New Mexico, and Eastern opposition lC Is a strong prejudice in the East against admitting Arizona to State hood, and it will not take much to excite that prejudice into erecting new barrier against the normal progress of the rich and promising Territory. If there must be radical ism, better let it wait until after Statehood is assured. If the Demo- crats are to rule Arizona anyhow, they can put their ideas into statute law or into the Constitution as well after Statehood is fact, as they can now. Better go it mild at this stage.
 As for the Arizona Republicans. they can congratulate themselves that they made a much better show. ing than the party has done in some states already admitted Paso Herald.

abling act and he succeeded against great odds. That he will earnestly try to secure the adoption of Ari- zona's Constitution, no one doubts, but the. people have not placed an easy task for him, as those who view the situation fairly, like Mark Smith will admit.
Weekly journal-miner., 1910-09-21

"M Mark Smith, also a candidate for United States Senate, is urging the Democrats not to put anything radi- cal in their Constitution, but to in corporate only fundamental laws and then add any of the radical ideas by State vote, after the President and Congress have approved the COnsti- tion. He fears if his party is given free hand it will write in such measures that Statehood will be re- fused, and he prefers to see diff ferent Constitution sent up and then have it amended afterwards.''
 This was the position taken by the Republicans from the start in the late campaign. They wanted State hood first, then popular reforms sub mitted to the people for their vote as to whether they want them. And Mark does not agree with the Demo- cratic papers that say the people have spoken. He is on the inside and gives us to understand that the bosses have got in their work. In Globe, in July 5th, Mark look ed at the situation soberly, and with vivid memory of his long struggle for Statehood he saw and warned us of the danger. Later he was drawn into the campaign and forgot the past. But now that it is over and his better sense controls his ut teranees, he goes back to the first prediction and renews his expression of fear.
 Before this Statehood fight is over we predict that the Democrats will have completely yielded to the posi- tion taken by the Republicans. They are now, through their newspapers, showing the white feather. The spasm has subsided and they see the situation in its true light, which they could not admit before the poll. closed, plain as it was to them.
 Republican newspapers insist that the warning they gave last week is as foreeful now as it was then, that the danger lies where Mark Smith says it is, and it is not lessened in its force because the majority have said they will face it though it de- feats Statehood.
 We are all anxious for State hood. The zeal of the Silver Belt
 
 has not abated because its advice was not needed. This paper believe. that mistake was made that will defeat Statehood. It is as sincere in this belief now as it was in its advocacy of the relegation of radical measures until Statehood should be achieved.
 If We could cnaRge the situation we must face We would certainly dc it, but we are not going to stul- tify a position honestly taken.-Glebe Silver Belt

LOYALTY TO THE CAUSE.

'Our first duty now is to frame the Constitution. Whatever Consti- tuition the people, want and frame I will trp and get it through Congress when it reaches me in Washington. |"
 The above is from an interview given out by Delegate Ralph Gamer on a few days ago in Phoenix.
 These are the. words of a man who pleaded with the people of Ari- zOna to help strengthen the cause by electing delegates who would frame a Constitution along the lines sug- gested by President Taft. His eff fort failed but his loyalty to the main cause is just as strong and just as sincere as it ever was.
 "The people, by their votes, have declared the kind of Constitution they want and that is the kind that should be framed,' he continued. "This has not been party fight. In Coehise I saw lifelong Repub- heans fighting with the Democrats and old-line Democrats with the Re publicans. ,"
 The loyalty that Ralph H. Cam eron shows. is that of true patriot. All Republicans join him in the hope that the issue of Statehood is not lost, and everything will be done to the end that it is not.
 But the odds are now piled up against us greater than they would have been had the people followed -Cameron's advice. Those clearly familiar with the situation hold out seant hope for success. The predie tion that we will not get Statehood comes from those who realize that the barrier that always existed has been reinforced by he action of the people in the late contest -'''
 But the people of Arizona are fighters, and they never. give up, no matter what discoaragements they meet. Deplorable as the situation is, it calls for greater effort.
 Statehood we declared to be ths paramount issue. but the people by their votes said that the initiative and referendum and recall shall be first, regardless of Eastern senti- ment, and in the face of the advice of the United States Senators who are friendly to Statehood.
 The Silver Belts adoption to these measures was in their adoption at this time when they may defeat Statehood. If they can be applied for the advancement of good govern ment in Arizona, We want them, and We want anything that betters the condition of our people, but we do not want to be bound to them if they work badly.
 Learned Constitutional lawyers in Congress may find serious objection in placing matters that belong to the Legislature in the Constitution. And of they don't want us at all they are resoureeful in finding other e4- cuses.
 The fight is a much harder one than it would have been had the people eliminated all possible chance Of objection and proceeded first to secure Statehood and then take up the ultraisms of government which they now place first.
 Delegate Cameron indicates the gravity of the situation when he says, "I will try and get it through | Congress. He tried to get the en-

If Mark Smith has been correctly quoted, he now goes back to the stand he took when in Globe at the Statehood rally, and incidentally back to what he knows in his heart to be true.
