MARK SMITH HOPEFUL
FOR THE DEMOCRATS


smith. loyal democrat that he Is,
arrived ia Tucson Wednesday with
jubilance at the result of the New
York congressional election of the
day previous oommingling with his
pleasure at getting back home.
Under the influence OF both these
Joys Mr.. Smth was in a mood even
more general than usual. Speaking Of
the recent New York congressional
electisn and of lbs indication of the
present trend of things political in
the nntion at large he said:
The New York congressional cleo
ton demonstrates the dissatisfaction
OF the republican party " tn the way
ln which the leaders OF that orgaai-
zatioa arc at present running the
country. The infamies OF the tariff
BIN are Becoming known TO the vot-
ers. Even MIR. Taft's praise Of it
ciuld not hide the stain of Aldrich's
hand.
The Missouri Result
-Tae drst election after the pas
SAGE OF the tar6 bill was held in
The state OF Missouri for the purpose
of dliisg the place made vacant by
The death of the lamented DeArmond.
DsArmond was a man OF national
reputation and extreme popularity in
his district man, unknown in n
gs-; Of his own district, was nomin-
ated by the democrats 20 succeed De
Armoad. lie was pitted against the
strongest republican in the distr' CT
aa6 tgo members OF tho presidents
cabiBet. as wen rs the republican
eoYeraor Of Missouri. stumped the
district Cesrite these apparently in
mountabie obstacles and to the
surprise OF everybody. the democrats
carried the district by nearly 5000
mor, votes than DeArmond did.
Even in Massachusetts.
The second congressional election
nce the passage OF the tariff bin
vas seId Ia the state Of Massachu-
Seiis q few months ago. Mr.. Lover
ing had at the last general election
carried the district by 6o00. The dis
district had not gone democratic
sI-ce the war and the newspapers
ated that it had never gone demo
cratic In its history. Yet a demo
crat was chosen TO succeed Lowering
and the successor was elected by
5000 or COCO majority. No issue was
raised n that campaign except the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
And Row New York.
The election Of last Tuesday is
almost identical with the Massachu-
sets election. Mr.. Perkins was el-c-
ted at theIast general election on the
republican ticket by something over
10000 majority. On his death, which
occurred a few weeks ago. an cleo
ton for congressman was called by
the governor in - 80 -
unhseaissea democrat was nominated
-sSainst the strongest republican in
the district and a partner of the de
ceased Mr.. Perkins. The democrat
was elected over his republican op-
ponezt by more than 5000 majority.
Handwriting on Wall.
The mere stating 70 these cases
leaves little for conjecture. 1t dem
oustrates that vast number of pat
riodc depubicans are disguised at
the violated pledges of their party
aud have determined TO place their
disapproval on this trust creating
and trust fostering combination of
tari made plutocrats. No wonder Mr
Hale OF Maine after serving for thir.
~ years in the senate. has no diff
ficulty as he sits at the Belshazzar's
board. in reading the handwrit'n ng on
the wall. Even Aldrich. blown witt
pride and insolent with power as ~
has heretofore been. and holding ir
the hollow of his Standard Oil hands
the nttle bailiwick Of RrOde Island
has at last anticipated his end b.
declaring that he WI not appeal
again as a candidate for the senate
It will he a century before anothe
leader as sudacious as forceful, an
as dangerous appears in the halls o
the national congress.
