l2 LAWYERS IN CONVENTION
Former City Editor of New Mex
lean is Given Secretaryship
to President Hunt.

Phoenix, AriZ,, Oct 13.-The third
day of the constitutional convention
work included the adoption of the re
port of the committee on employees,
standing committees.
President Hunt will probably an
nounce the appointments in a few
days after consultation with MEM
bers of the various delegations who
have been requested to name commit
tees, of which each county desires the
craftsmanship.
1t is understood that Milford Win
sor will be chairman of the legisla-
tive committee, and F. A. Jones, of
the Maricopa commercial club and
traffic manager, chairman of the rail
road committee.
Two Republicans have announced
their intention of voting for the ini
tiative and referendum
The membership of the Arizona's s
convention is comprised of men from
about 19 or 20 vocations of life. There
are II lawyers, one associate justice
of the supreme court, six cattlemen,
two sheepmen, one saloonkeeper, five
farmers or ranchmen, one minister,
two machinists, two doctors, two rail
way clerks, one traffic manager one
newspaperman, two bankers, three
business men, one capitalist, three
mining men, one railroad engineer,
one switchman, one plumber.
Among the members who have Civ.
en- early indications of active partici
patton in discussing on the floor are
Cunnif formerly editor of World S
Work; Judge Wells, E. e. Ellinwood,
w. T. Webb, Mulford Winsor, Judge
Baker and John P. Orme, the last be-
ing president of the Salt River Water
Users Association
The Republicans are given repre-.
sentation on the standing committees,
but when it comes to patronage they
are left out in the cold. The comm.u-
tee to dispense the clerkships and 9TH
er jobs consists of 10 members one
from each county sending a Demo-
cratic delegation. The three Republi-
can counties were left out.
The appointment of Frank DeSouza,
of Phoenix as assistant secretary ia
taken as move to palliate the feel
ings of the Maricopa Democracy,
whose soreness over the defeat of
FRANKLIN was accentuated by the de-
feat OF DeSouza for secretary. The
local political managers say that Mari
copa got the hook" from the other
counties
More far reaching in possible effect
is this sectional difference, than the
walls of the convention chamber.
Maricopa will insist on a larger share
OF the nominations for state office,
and may offer leading candidate for
governor. Sheriff Carl Hayden is an
aspirant to this honor while George
Purdy Bullard, district attorney,
wants the attorney generalship.
The selection of J. G. Truman. of
Pinal, for sergeant at arms eliminates
30 j. Whiteside, who for years has
peen conspicuous figure about the
portals of the legislature.
The list of employees totals 30. in
Guiding pages, clerks and stenograph-
ers. The distribution of patronage
was not completed till Wednesday
morning when the report was made.
Alfred Cohn, editor of the Daily Globe
at Douglas and who few years ago
was city editor of the Santa Fe New
Mexican, is secretary to President
Hunt
Ihe Democratic majority controll-
ing the constitutional convention
probably will hold no more caucuses,
but will fight out on the floor all of
the issues involved in drafting the
Arizona constitution.
Although the twenty-four standing
committees of the constitutional con-
vention will be chosen today. it is not
likely that the assembly will get
down to business, as the rules COM
Ilttee mas not been able to agree up-
on a mode of procedure.
Whether the initiative, the referen-
dunn or the recall should come first
apparently is puzzling the committee
Yesterdays session was enlivened
oy an effort on the part of Delegate
Mulford Winsor, of Yuma. to have the
pay of the chaplain cut to 81 a day
and that of the pages from SIS a dav
TO S2. He failed In the debate Del
egate Goldwater of Yavapai county
caused laugh by moving for his
own dismissal as a member of the
convention and his appointment as A
page. Under the present rate of nav.
the pages will receive 81 more a dav
IMAM the delegates, as the latter under
the enabling act, cannot draw more
than s4 day.
The antisaloon league gave it's first
indication of activity by filing with
PRESIDENT Hunt, request that he an.
point two members of its choice IN
on the committee on matters for fin.
ture submission. The league desires
