 0N THE WALL Seen By Many Democrats
 h Mesa Country 1SMS" SPELL FAILURE Though They Favor Initia- tive, Referendum and Recall, They Are Not Go- ing to Risk Loss of State hood When Almost With in the Grasp
1SMS" SPELL FAILURE

Within the past week democrats of this vicinity, men whose politics have never been questioned, men whose politics are not questioned now. men who are boiled as democrats and who are in favor of the initiative and referendum principle, are going to vote the republican ticket at this place next Monday when the polls are opened for the purpose of electing delegates to the constitutional con- vention. These men are not weak kneed; some of them are substan- tlal business men of this town, but they fear. regardless of any assur- ances from local opponents of the ini- tiative and referendum, that President Taft and the senate will not hesitate to disapprOve of a constitution which does not come up to the standard of Washington. They are men, or most of them are. who remember the twen- ty years war that has been waged for statehood. They are men who believe that the majority of the sen ate will vote against the admission of the territory unless a constitution should he written which can have iA' pbS9lbit lfdNuIt lUdI NdH De ulS- approved. They are men who know that Maricopa county is normally democratic and that Arizona is nor mally democratic, and they know that the adoption of the republican plat form, which permits of amendment by a majority, that their chances for the ultimate success of their initia- tive and referendum ideas will be easy of attainment Some of these men voted for Ralph Cameron. the first republican ballot that they ever cast. and they did so in the same spirit as the man who says. I have one dollar left and l will try it on the red. I'm going broke anyway" These men who voted for Ralph Cam eron were not republicans then and they are not republicans now They are men who have laid aside politics for an instant and have taken up the matter as a business proposition They are logical men who have learned to meet propositions as any man who makes a critical analysis of any obstacle which confronts him does.
 These democrats are as firm in their belief as any democrat who reads these lines. They have made the critical analysis They fear that the initiative and referendum. written into the constitution. will not be ap- proved and they want statehood. They have seen the handwriting on the wall and have interpreted it in their own way. To them it is not senti- ment, it is not politics. it is not re- ligion. it is a cold businesslike prop osition. They want statehood. and they see the way to get it.

Deputy Sheriff A. L. Campbell ar rived here yesterday afternoon from Ray to take charge of George Jackson, who had been arrested the day before by Constable Estrada upon the tele- graphich request of the deputy sheriff. It seems that Jackson's offense is not such a heinous one after all. He over looked d debt upon his departure from town and the people to whom he owed the money did not feel like taking the chance of waiting for his return. His arrest was accordingly demanded and promptly made. It is possible that by the time the train leaves here for Ray this morning, some sort of an adjust ment may be made. Efforts toward that end were being made last night.
