DELEGATES ARRIVING
FOR THE CONVENTION
CANDIDATES FOR
HONORS ALREADY LOOK
ING ANXIOUS.
Caucusing for Organization Will
Probably Occur Sunday.

quite a number of the delegates to
the constitutional convention arrived
here yesterday, and from now until
Sunday morning every train will
probably bring in others. 1t is eX-
pected that the democratic members
will most of them be here some time
today. for as everybody now knows
the democrats are largely in the ma
jority and will organize the conven-
ton as seems wise to them. Also, as
most of the work of organization in
such cases is done previous TO the
day of converting. those democrats
who desire to participate should be on
the ground early before the states are
all made up. About all the repub
leans need to do is 10 report in time
for roll call

Pima, COcOninO and Santa Cruz are
the only counties sending republican
delegations, a total Of eight, though
there are three others who slipped in
from elsewhere between the democrats
on election day, but none Of this
gallant army Of eleven has yet ar
rived, so far as could be learned last
night.
George II. Kelly, editor of the Bis
bee Review, also arrived yesterday
and will remain over long enough to
witness the statesmen wedged into
the cramped legislative hall. r s.
Maclay of Douglas also came in yes
terday and will witness the organiza-
ton. Mr. Maclay viii feel very much
at home in the environment Of the
Capitol, as he has already served the
territory and it's law making body
very faithfully during legislative ses-
sions in aclerical capacity.

tary Vernon Vaughn Of the demo-
cratic central committee of Maricopa
county have called the members of the
committee for a conference this aft

ty delegates to the convention will also
be. present and there will be general
discussion of the situation from po-
ltical viewpoint, and also with special
reference to the cutting of the pie,
for the convention, like a legislature,
will have to employ considerable cler-
ical help and incidentally there are
those greater honOrs that money can
not buy. the presidency, etc 1t is
understood that such caucuses as the
local delegation has held have resulted
in a decision to press the availability
of Alfred Franklin for that office.
w. T Webb Of Graham, it is under
stood, comes with strong support
from southern and eastern Arizona,
and the candidacy of George w p.
Hunt seems also to still be a live
topic of discussion 1t was once re-
ported that he had Withdrawn from
the race. but the story was later de-
MED. Mr.. Hunts arrival is anXiously
awaited that his course may be def
nitely known.
Frank De Souza, exalted ruler of
the Elks. yesterday informed Mr.. Ly-
man. chairman of the county central
committee, that the lodge had ten
dered the use of it's club rooms and
