SiSSOn is Given Freedom By Governors
Parole.

After having served in all about
five years of what was originally a
life sentence for murder then having
his sentence commuted to ten years,
and later being released on a habeas
corpus, only to be sent back again
when it was found that the court
records had been improperly copied.
William Sisson was last week paroled
by Governor Sloan.
Sisson was sentenced from Graham
county for shooting a neighbor dur
ing a quarrel over a dam that Slsson
built on his property to run off flood
water. The floods ran over the
neighbours farm and, although it was
said Sisson offered to assist this
neighbor in the construction of an
other dam to turn the food, the
neighbor refused. 1t is said that the
neighbor one day entered Sis1on's
property with the purpose of Destroy
ing this dam. Both men were armed
and it is claimed that Sisson acted
somewhat in selfdefense in shooting
the man.
Sisson was convicted of murder and
sentenced to life imprisonment. The
trial took place at Solomonville be-
fore JudgeTucker. Then the mans
sentence was Commuted to ten years,
and then last May a writ of habeas
corpus was issued on the ground that
the records showed that Sisson had
never been asked to plead to the
charge. Sisson was therefore re-
leased. 1t was later shown that the
records had been tampered with and
the man had been sent back to the
penitentiary after short period Of
freedom. He had served some five
years of his term. Sisson VIII now be
able to enjoy his freedom, as it is
not likely that he will ever break his
parole.

Thinks Cactus League Will 90 to Vail.

Stripped of the uniform of the ball
player, and away from the applause
of the bleachers, Dennis Ford, better
known in the Cactus League as
Captain Dinnyford" is in Tucson and
is looking for job. Not at ball play
ing, though he might not refuse that
but just a plain unadorned citizen S
job.
Denny has been playing with El
Paso in the Cactus league for the
greater part of the present season,
and previous to that time he was and
of the mainstays of the Douglas
Demons. Recently, it is asserted,
dissatisfaction broke out in various
quarters, and now Denny has quit the
league.
Not as an evidence of sour grapes,
he is sure, but just because it arises
from his convictions. Ford believes
that the day of doom is approaching
for the Cactus. He believes the dis
sensions which have worked havoc in
the league for several months will
ultimately result in its utter disrup-
tiOu.

Japan Plans to Annex Korea.

The least convention under which
Korea will be annexed to Japan has
been communicated to representa-
tives of the powers. The document,
according to the now esta blished
facts which was signed August %, will
become effective when officially
promulgated. This will be, according
to some ministers, on August 30 or 30,
when the independent existence of
the Hermit Kingdom, the struggle
for whose possession started the
Russo-Jap war, will cease.
The Japanese government has al
ready a large number of representa-
tives in Korea, prepared to take oyer
the machinery of administration
without delay.
Sporadic outbreaks protesting
against the absorption, serions riot
ing and even widespread objection
from Koreans is not expected.

fulfill their duty without favor witt
regard to the rights and interests oi
the entire citizenship of Arizona.
We deny and repudiate any desire
or purpose to favor or oppress any
class of citizenship and realizing the
necessity for capital to develop our
vast undeveloped resources, we be-
lieve our constitution should hold out
all reasonable inducements to the in
vestor, consistent with good govern
ment, and that only such restriction
be placed upon capital as to insure
to it the same but no greater rig ht
than the individual.
We pledge the support of our
nominees to such PROVISION of the
constitution as will forever preserve
the. full rights of the laborer as an
American citizen.
We imperatively demand and
pledge our nominees to a Constitu-
tion9l provision giving the people the
power of direct legislation through
the system denominated as follows:
l. The right of the people to in
itiate and~adopt legislation bydirect
vote, commonly called the initiative.
?. The right of the people to re-
ject laws adopted by the legislature
by direct vote, commonly called the
referendum.
3. The right of the people to re-
moye from Office any officer elected
by them, commonly called the recall.
We demand that the provisions in
the constitution for its future amend
ment be of the most liberal char
acter, to the end that the people may
in the future make such changes as
the conditions may require.
We belieye that all matters that
can be appropriately covered by
legislation should be left to abide the
action of the legislature and the
vote of the people.
We invite attention to the plat
form adopted by the Republicans
throughout the Territory as being
meaningless, colorless and undistin-
guished by a single definite sug-
gestion of policy or purpose.
Having declared ourselves for the
principles above enumerated and
pledged our nominees to their sup
port, we invite the cooperation of
all voters of Graham county, ire
spective of party affiliations.

Republican MadurO Boss StuifS Regis
tratiOn Lists.

That there are an even thousand
men registered in Maricopa county
who are not entitled to vote at the
coming election, even by the widest
stretching of the law, has been dis
closed after a careful investigation
by disinterested parties.
Negro laborers on the Buckeye rail-
road who came here about a month
ago from California, were "seen"las
week by Fred Gardiner, the local
Maudro boss of the republican party,
and registered before republican
Justices of the peace down the valley.
In addition to these negroes several
hundred "Cholo" laborers, who left
Mexico not more than two months
ago were registered by the ever busy
Gardiner and an attempt will be made
to vote these men in the interests of
the republican candidates on Septem-
ber Il.
When appraised of this condition
of affairs local democratic leaders
had little to say, satisfying them
selves with the statement that if one
of those negroes or Mexicaps who
have been illegally registered at
tempted to vote, the county Jail
would be filed to overhowing before
nightfall. This is no idle threat.
The democrats know whereof they
speak and will make good what they
say not only in regards to the men
who registered illegally, but also in
sofar as the party bosses who see to
their registration, are concerned.

According to appointment the
democratic convention was held at
Stafford in the Brier Hall, August 20,
1910. In the absence of J. J. Birdno,
chairman county central committee,
the meeting was called to order by
Ben R. Clark, secretary.
A short recess was given, after
which a temporary organization was
affected with A. G. McAlister chair
man, and J. w. Welsh secretary.
Later the organization was made
permanent.
The usual committees were ap-
pointed and made their reports to
the convention.
There was considerable difficulty in
agreeing upon the nominees to be
made by the convention, and a num-
Der of recesses given to affect an
agreement upon this question.
Late in the day, nearly p. m, the
following delegates were named:
Lamar Cobb, Clifton; A. NJ. Tuthill,
Morenci; Nit Simms, Solomonvill; A.
r. Lynch, Stafford; A. g. Peterson,
Thatcher.
The following platform was
adopted:
We, the Democrats of Graham
county, in convention assembled,
deem it right and proper to give ex-
preston to our opinions and princi-
pies on the important matters now
engaging the attention of the people
of Arizona.
We re-affirm our allegiance to the
time-honored principles of the Demo
cratic Party and pledge our faith
that we will meyer forsake the funda-
mental principle that the individual
shall not be restrained of his liberty
and that equal rights shall be ac-
corded to all and special privileges
given to none.
We congratulate the people of
Arizona upon the passage of the en-
abling act, although defective and
unjust Nevertheless, it does permit
US to vest ourselves with the right of
self-government.
We keenly appreciate the solemn
duty imposed upon the people of our
contemplated state to prepare con-
stitution on the lines of conservative
progress and we pledge our nominees

National League Seems To Haze
Better PLAYERS Than Americans
BIG LEAGUE SCOUTS HUNTING NEW MATERIAL

The indications now are that the Ma
tional league will retain prestige over
its rival, the American league, for
years to come, on the strength of the
class shown by young players who have
been added to the parent league teams
during the past two<years.
OF the real finds the Chicago Cubs
have Cole, the twirler, who has been
showing great form; Jimmy Archer.
a receiver who ranks with the best in
the business. and Luderus, a first
sacker, who seems well fitted for the
tional league crop.
Pittsburg has Vincent Campbell, a
speed marvel, who has shown ability to
connect with the offerings of the fast
company pitchers; Jack Miller, one OF
the best second base guardians of the
profession, and Babe Adams. the twirl-
err who made the Detroit Tigers take

question can only be answered by JEFF

Jim can really tell Just how strong he

If the inner workings are as good as

that his trainers cannot stand the pace

Different Methods.
During visits at both the camps one
could not heip bur notice the great diff
