According to the usually weIl-in-
formed correspondent of the Boston
Transcript Mr. Hitchcock, the ener-
getic postmaster general and reputed
political guide in the cabinet of Presi-
dent Taft, has plans for entering the
Senate from Arizona. He has property
interests there: he owns a newspaper
of the politicians in Washington in
thinking that Arizona is safe Repub-
lican state and can be made perman-
emily So
We are not acquainted with the in
ternal resources of Arizona, and it
may be that it has better men for the
Senate than that triumphant organizer
of Mr. Taft's presidential plans. What
is especially interesting in this pros
pect is the light it throws on the rapid
ity of change in the United States, and
especially in the newer portions Of
them. Mr.. Hitchcock, the typical Har-
ward man in politics, the cool unen-
thusiastic, reserved, and long-headed
planner, is of sort that. ten years
ago even, would have seemed as alien
to the southwest as the veriest tender
foot that ever was teased and hustled
in that rough land. That he should be
a leader in Arizona, and. from the
start make the little state rival in
precedence to the ancient Rhode Is
land, was notion that would have
short on plausible inventions. Yet
there is nothing impossible, or even
improbable, in it. Why should not Mr..
AIdrich, who fought Arizona statehood
as long as he could. be succeeded in
HIS unique position by the man who
fought as obstinately, and successfully,
on the other side New York Times.
