THE PROCESSION OF EVENTS

Tine convention was called to or der at 10 o'clock by Acting Chair man Ingles of the county central C. F. Ainsworth was nominated by Dan M'Dermott for temporary chair man and here occurred the only div ision of sentiment manifested in the course of the convention. Phil s. Ensign nominated Walter Wilbur of Tempe Judge Ainsworth was elect ed by a wide margin
 On taking the chair Judge Aims worth delivered a pointed but brief address on the importance of begin ming right, movement which if fol- lowed right would find the people of Arizona voting for state officers in a year from this time. There are, said Judge Ainsworth, diversit- ies of opinion concerning what should be put into the constitution But said he, let us get into the union first Congress" said the speaker has invited the people of Arizona to prepare constitution and it ex- pected us to prepare one which it could approve. It has arbitrary pow tT 10 aEtJtCt It,. WI nave III mind the struggle whoch other states have had to get into the union; the struggle which we have had for sev- eral years. President Taft came here and told us what kind of constitution he thought would be better for us. Let us follow his ad- vice rather than that of his oppOn- ents. I have reason to believe that New Mexico will follow the advice of the president and send to congress a reasonable constitution, free from ''isms." We have held ourselves out to be the superior of New Mexico in intelligence and wealth If we send such a. constitution as some of the people of this territory propose. one that will compare unfavorably with that of New Mexico. congress will believe that we have tried to deceive it"
 At the conclusion of Judge Aims worth's address. the temporary or ganization was completed by the election of V. A Vanderhoof of Scottsdale as secretary. Ernest Hall was made assistant secretary.
 The next move was preeaution against the entrance of undesirable persons to the convection. It came in the shape of a resolution by Col. c. w. Johnstone. providing for the appointment of a committee of seven on credentials. The precautionary feature of the resolution was a pro vision requiring that proxies must be held by a resident of the pre- cinct from which the proxy is offer ed The resolution was unanimously adopted
 The following were the members of the committee: J. c. Reed, Ernest Hall W H. Slaughter, Grant Jones,

COMBINATIONS IN FORM OF
 TRUSTS,

Provision should be made in the con stitution to prevent and prohibit com binations and conspiracies in the form
 of trusts or otherwise in restraint of trade or commerce within the state. In conclusion we favor the framing of a constitution for the state of Ari- zona. which shall be truly progressive, simple in expression, easy of common understanding. broad enough to pro tect all classes of society, elastic enough to meet new conditions as they may hereafter arise. and which may be amended by a majority vote of the people.
 Pending action on the platform. the chairman stated that Mrs. Louise
 Stevens Cooke of the equal suffrage association desired to address the convention. Mrs Cooke had ap-
 peared before the democratic con ventiOn, but she spoke at greater
 length yesterday expressing her pleasure to be in a republican gath ering for she had inherited repubH- can gathering. for she had inherited republicanism from her father, who had taken part in the founding of the party. After that she spoke for cibly but briefly in the behalf of equal suffrage and when she had concluded she was generously ap- plauded
 The report of the platform commit tee was then adopted and Governor Sloan who had been invited in the morning to appear addressed the convention
 GOVERNOR SIOAN'S ADDRESS
 Tt is with great satisfaction" said Governor Sloan" that I have noted the unanimity with which your plat form has been adopted. Tn my opin- ion you have done your work wisely and in my deliberate judgment your action has been polite You have neither evaded. side e-stepped nor straddled the question which will be the issue of this campaign. You have not permitted yourselves to be stampeded by a clamor for inno- vations by many persons who are honestly mistaken and by others who are insincere and are advocating these innovations because they be- lieve them to be popular"
 The governor then began to call these innovations by name Said he: The demand for the initiative and referendum is largely fictitious and whatever the demand may be, it does not arise from the fullest consideration of the question"
 But" continued the speaker" have faith in the American people. i'm their honesty and intelligence They may be carried away for the time but iIr the end their judgment may be relied upon. I believe you can go before the people on this declaration of principles and win on it. They will hesitate when it comes to the removal of the ancient land marks. They will believe that Wash ington.

It is an unsafe thing to do from the standpoint of exped- iency and it is a vicious thing to do. to declare that our form of gov- ernment is bad"

 Dr. Arlitz supplemented the an- nouncement in reply to a question as to the patients condition by saying: He is doing fine"
 Other formal statement bore out the hopeful statements of the physi- clans. Nevertheless, there still re mains an undercurrent of feeling that the mayor is in greater danger than is indicated in the bulletins from the sick room.
 Robert Adamson, the mayors sec retary, early this evening announced upon the authority of Dr. Steward that the mayor was much better; that the swelling in the neck had de creased noticeably. It was also stated by Adamson that the cough which caused some uneasiness and a fear that it might induce hemorrhages was much better tonight.
 A conference at police headquar- ters which caused much comment is believed to have an important bear ing upon the shooting. It was learned that a bundle of letters found in Gallagher's room was examined. Ad- amson, when leaving headquarters, denied that there HdS any SiShiii- canoe in the conference.
 Gallagher, the assassin, twelve years ago wrote threatening letters against President Mckinley, Secre- tary of the Treasury Lyman J. Cage. Wilbur F.

PUBLIC LANDS.

great trust is conferred upon the people of the state in the gift of pub lie lands provided for in the enabling act, and ample provision should be made in the constitution for the hon est, economical and efficient manage ment and disposition of those public lands, to the end that the burden of taxation upon the people of the state may be reduced.

 WHAT THE LEGISLATURE MAY
 DO.
 The constitution should empower the legislature to license, regulate, control restrain or prohibit, through state wide prohibition or local option, the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors.
 The constitution should also em- power the legislature to extend the elective franchise to women.
 We favor the non-partisan election of judges.
 We oppose the granting of exclusive franchises and believe that no fran chise should be granted except by gen eral law and then for a term not ex- ceeding twenty-five years. Grants of corporate and other franchises should be forever subject to the regulation, amendment. or repeal, as may be pro vided by law.
 We believe that all interests, indi- vidual or corporate. should be equally protected under the law and should be equally held amenable to the law
 We believe that a system of well ar ranged and economically constructed highways should be built and we favor the creation of non partisan cOmmis- sion to have charge of this important public work as may be provided by 1a

fBy the Associated Prcss.i

Washington, d. C, Jan. 5.-Three
highly important developments today
marked the inuiqries started with q
view to ascertaining the responsible
ity for the increased cost Of living.
Senators Elkins, Ct West Virginia,
and Crawford, of South Dakota, in
troduced resolutions providing for a
Congressional investigation, the War
Department announced to Congress
that there was a deficiency Of 81
595,635 for the subsistence OF the
army during the present year, mainly
because of the enhanced cost Of food.
and Secretary Wilson declared he
would cease the investigation begun
by him if Congress interfered.
Senator Etkins' resolution calls for
an ~'eShaustiVe Investigators into tho
matter by q committed Of five sena-
tors, while Senator Crawford calls
upon the Secretary Of Commerce and
Labor for figures showing the increase
IL Wholesale and retail prices during
the last decade and the cause for sucn
increase.
The arfny's plight was set forth in
an appeal to Congress to provide more
funds TO feed and clcthe and MAIN
tain the force, which is greater than
was estimated for in the a~pproprla-
ton bill. The petition was accom-
panied by q list prepared by the con-
missary general, showing increase in
many staples in 1909 over the costs OF
1908.
All this activity has resulted in WIN
ming recruits to the proposed national;
antitrust league, which expect to
compel reductions in the prices OF
staples, when they rise above certain
levels by the employment Of concert

DOING WE'LL AT GULL LAKE
Langdon Traveller Tells Of Meeting Many tx.
Residents of Cavalier County.

A. [. Vessey returned to the city
Thursday from a two weeks trip through
different sections of the Canadian North
west, spending much of his time in
looking over the country in the vicinity
of Edmonton, Calgary and Gull Lake,
Sask, all of which localities are rapidly
having their vacant lands taken up by
parties moving in from this side of the
line. At Gull Lake he found more
people from Cavalier county than at
any other place he visited. John
Rushford, formerly of Milton is doing a
big business in a $4,000 hotel; M. Dos
man, has just sold out and retired from
his hardware and farm machinery
business which was a big money maker
and gone east for the summer; John
Ohlheiser has a meat market with a big
trade right along and Jake Klein, who
only went out there from Langdon this
summer c~ontemplates starting up in the
same line. The pool room and barber
shop is being run by John Gatschene,
formerly of Dresden. Mr.. Vessey says
that he also saw the Vols, Tony Klein
and Frank Kopriva who are holding
down claims and farming.
