TOWN TALK

In this Arizona country where we're woody yet and free. Topics ripe for conversation don't grow round on every tree; There's the weather always handy for
 tis something good to see, And we worked it to frazzle and diIate On 1t with glee.
 But The topic that we cherish And the topic that is sure. If we live or if we perish. Is our blooming temperature. Iris the first thing in the morning and the latest thing at night We can read the bulb at sunup. or by glimmering candle light; And when it's up to hundred, why you know it's delight To discuss our gory symptoms till we wellnigh die of fright.
 For The topic that is natty And the one that will endure; And the one that makes us chatty. Is our blooming temperature. You can hear it in the highway you can hear it in the town. It never fails of scandal if it's mp or if it's down: If you've got bad subnormal you're in order for renown: If you're hitting high in places. we in envious tears will drown.
 Yes The topic that is thrilling, And the one that will insure Pleasures keen and pleasures killing. Is our blooming temperature There are those who're only normal and We pity them for fair: And the trashy ninety miners have keen disgrace 10 bear But when We can strike hundred. we have pride enough to spare. And we ask for naught but audience and the glad report to share. The topic that is pleasing Whether doctors kill or cure: Are we hot or are we freezing l. our blooming temperature

The Issues" In the Second Ward.

The straightforward letter from Mir Dan McDermott to the voters of the Second ward. printed this morning effectualy disposes of the absurd claim that there are issues" which justify the republicans of that ward in bolting the republican ticket and voting against McDerInott.
 The three candidates stand for practically the same thing: Refer ence to the voters. for decision by the voters, Of every important question before the council upon which public opinion is divided.
 It cannot be claimed that either of the other candidates is a more honest man than McDermott: that either of them is more conscientious in the performance of duty than McDermott; that either of them has cleaner record. or that either of them has more practical business sense than McDermott
 Then what excuse can any good republican have if he fails to vote for McDermott? Dan McDermott him. self never bolted a republican ticket For twenty years he has done clean and yeoman service for the republican party. and for hosts Of republican as- pirants for office, but he never held office himself, and never asked for one
 Three years ago, when there was considerable personal feeling in re- publican ranks and some republicans were inclined to oppose Mayor Cog gins. it was Dan McDermott. chair man of the republican city committee who took off his coat, rallied the rank and file. and won victory. To him. more than to any other man in the city, did Col. Coggins owe his election.
 A great campaign-the first political campaign in the state of Arizona-is but a few months in the future. In that campaign party lines will be closely drawn. In shrewd recognition of this fact the leading democrats of the territory have been busy for months in building democratic fences. They have gone into every commu- nifty. urging with force their demo- cratic brethren to organize and line up.
 Our democratic friends recognize that the city of Phoenix is the re- publican citadel of the territory To capture this citadel they have been laying their plans for months. With good political judgment they ha;e en- outraged republican bolt from Me Dermott. in the hope that by dividing the republicans of the Second ward they could elect democrat to the council
 And regrettabla as it is to admit the fact, a few men in the Second ward who always call themselves re- publicans when there are republican favors to be dispensed, are doing their best to make the bolt effective. Hap oily, there are no indications that they will succeed. All signs point to the triumphant election of McDermott by loyal republicans of the ward.
 But how the democratic politicians all over the territory would chortle with glee if they could point to a capture of that republican stronghold. the Second ward of Phoenix. by the democrats, They would justly regard it as long step. and at least a half way step. toward the capture of Phoe- nix itself.
