NOGAL ARIZONA, U. s. A.

that normally the county is repub' lican; yet has been carried hy the democrats hy small maiorities through republican apathy and division. In this election there is no division-no apathy. All re- publioans are keenly alert, solidly united, and working energetically for success. Upon the other hand in the ranks of the democrats this time are the apathy and division. Democrats of prominence and in. huence are fighting their ticket openly and predicting it's defeat.

MORALES asks the republican majority in Congress to vote an appropriation for federal build ing. Would not it be fitting, token of a good faith for NOgales to give rousing majority for the republican candidate to the Arl- zona constitutional convention?

POPULAR GOVERNMENT IN COLORADO.

In Colorado last week the demo cratic senate caucus got down of from the fence and permitted a vote upon the bill that had come up from the house to submit to the people in the November election a constitutional amendment estab- fishing the initiative and referen- dunn with the recall. Upon final passage the measure received the vote of every senator except two--one democrat and one republican. It had passed the house by similarly sweeping vote.
 In the history of this legislation there is much that was amusing. Two years ago the democratic plat form declared for popular govern ment-initiative, referendum, re- call, etc. The state was carried upon that issue. When the legis- lature convened bills were intro. duced to carry out the provisions that had won in the election. The house passed such bill, but it failed to reach a vote in the senate, and the legislature adjourned with out effective action.
 Last mon'h the democratic chief executive called special session of the legislature for the express purpose of complying with the platform. As before the house passed by an almost unanimous vote the measure proposed. But in the senate 1t stalled. The demo- cratic ma jorlty would not take up the proposed legislation until it had received approval in the party caucus. In caucus the democratic senators divided. Ten were against the new measures and nine sup ported them. The measures that passed tho house were taken from the Oregon constitution. Even if supported by the democrats solidly on the floor of the senate five republican votes were necessary to pass the proposed constitutional amendments by the three-fourths vote necessary. With the demo- cratic caucus deadlocked, and the senate marking time daily waiting for a chance for action, the republi- can senators taunted their demo- cratic colleagues and urged them

IN THE primary elections in WIS consin Tuesday Senator La Follette won the day by vote of three to one, beating gentleman named Cook, unknown outside of WIS., consin. In the democratic primary there was not cast twenty per cent of the entire vote, and there IS a question whether it will be lesal to put the democratic nominees upon the ballot.

Now some of the democratic office holders in Santa Cruz county who have been elected term after term by appealing to individual republicans to sink party consider ations and vote for them have an opportunity to return the com plinent by voting for Brac9y Curtis.

CdHlpdlSn Ine pldH ahu eHolC oi the republican candidate and man. agers have been to conduct the same upon high plane; and that plan has been carried out, the effort has been successful. The re- publicans of Santa Cruz county have deserved success, and whether success crowns their efforts, or whether they meet with defeat they can look back upon the con- sttutional convention campaign of 1910 with satisfaction and gratif- cation. They "have fought the good fight; have kept the faith" To men who are constituted alright that Is great deal.
 In the foregoing connection there is one phase of the opposition to which attention will be paid in this paragraph. Some of the op- position have effected to speak contemptuously of the work of the republicans in lining up their vot- CTS and getting them to the polls as useless" time wasted" and the like. Of course such men cannot understand men standing up year after year to be counted for prin- ciple. They do not and cannot appreciate their own party asso- ciates in such states as Vermont and Wisconsin who have been in a hopeless minority ever since the Republican Party was born; yet who come back every election, holding aloft the party standard and maintaining the party faith. That spirit is something that seems imcomprehensible to some of the democratic leaders in Santa Cruz county. But it is a spirit that is very much alive among Santa Cruz  county republicans.
 And there is another point that THE OASIS wishes to present right now in terms both strong and un- mistakable; and that is that any party has the right to put up and nominate for office it's strongest and best men, without interference from the other party, or from its members. It is an honor to any man to be made the standard bearer of a great party, and 1t Is the right of a party to confer that honor where it lists without let or hindrance. In the campaign now drawing to a close the republican party of Santa Cruz county has in- sisted upon it's right in this matter; and having reached that footing, it is now upon ground that it will maintain henceforward.
 Never before in the history of Santa Cruz county has the political sky looked so bright for republican success. Never before has the party been so confident, 80 enthusiastic, so strongly united. A careful can vass of the electorate demonstrates

Evening.

The Fourth Ward M. |. A. held
another of its splendid open air
meetings Sunday evening, Newell
Dayley presiding. A good audience
was in attendance, and after singing
by the choir and congregation, Mrs.
Maud Clark rendered a selection
dealing with the slave boyhood of
the painter Sebastian, which was
nicely delivered and interesting.
After Mrs. Clark's reading and
singing by the audience, John l..
Smith, the speaker of the evening,
spoke at length on the manners and
customs of the dwellers in our sister
republic of Mexico. Mr.. Smiths
talk, though longer than the audi

An Out-of-Date Young Man.

Probably thinking that he
residents of Oakley in general
had not had the excitement that
was coming to them Friday. at
our celebration, Vaughn Coch-
ran, a young man who has been
in and about Oakley for the
past year or TWO, coming Ori-
glnally from Oklahoma, raced
down Oakley's main street be-
tween nine and ten in the even
ing, tanning his gun at every
jump, and, incidentally, getting
out of town as fast as possible.
AS soon as possible posse
started in pursuit, headed b y
Sheriff Loveland, and at Marion
they succeeded in capturing his
horse, but h last heard o
Vaughn he was tamping ties be-
tween Marion and Miner. OF
course, as no material damage
was done to person or property
it was probably as well that the
posse did not succeed in over
taking him, for his treatment
might have been more severe
chan the escapade called for, but
If he ever returns it would be
we'll for him to remember that
the days of immunity for" shoot
ing up the town" are long past
and govern himself accordingly
