This story about Postmaster General
Hitchcock being grcomed for Senator
from Arizona is too absurd for serious
discussion, said Zach B. sperry, OF Pres
colt. Ariz.. who was seen ct the National
last night. Mr.. Sperry is interested IN
mining and has been to New York on
business and Just took run down to
Washington for fun
There is every chance for the Repubii-
cans 10 capture the State and send two
Senators TO Washington. provided the
people get a square deal" said Mr..
sperry. But If there is any crooked
business on the road. the chances of tbs
Republican party will disappear quicker
than hades With good management and
stif fight all along the line, Arizona
can be swung into the Republican column;
there Is only a difference OF about 800
votes between the Republicans and
majority in the Territorial legislature.
With shrewd management. I say, the
Republicans can win and capture the Leg
islature by a safe margin. But it'll have
TO be fair fight and It'll have to be
among our own people; no outsiders,
mean-no interlopers.
IF there is any seriousness about this
Hitchcock story, and there Is any bottom
TO it at ALL added Mr. Sperry. its
bound to kill Republican chances and
place the Democrats more securely than
ever in control OF the Territory. Afr.
Hitchcock is not a citizen, nor even a
resident, OF Arizona, and I shouldn't
think he would care to exchange his
present Office for Senatorship from
Arizona What's the matter with him?
Isn't he safe where he is? Why should
he be looking for q Job? The whole
story IS a fake; not word Of truth in
It; it's too foolish.
In Arizona we are Of the Arm belief
that Congress will admit the Territory
to Statehood. Arizona is certainly enti-
tied TO the honor IL any OF the other can
didates is. We have the population, the
wealth, the improvements, the schools,
the roads, and everything that is neces-
sary for a well-regulated State Of the
Union"
Mayor Gaynor is even convincing those
who were not in his favor az the last
mayoralty election Of New York OF his
ability. sincerity, and his determination
TO give New York a clean and up-to-date
government" said Dr. Felix Adler. OF
New York. at the Arlington last night.
DR.. Adler is the founder OF the New
York Society for Ethical Culture pro-
fessor OF political and social ethics at Co
/ lunbia University, a Roosevelt exchange
professor at the university at Berlin. and
author OF many well-known works.
There was some apprehension among
the people at first about the adminlstra-
ton he would give Us. Most Of the
speeches he made were Of IA explosive
and decidedly unpolitical and uneonven-
tiona character at times. Mayor Gaynor
has surprised everybody agreeably.- said
Dr.. Adler, and the chances are that he
win make one of the best mayors New
York has had for many years. He has
done wonders In the police department
in the short time he has been In office.
as we'll as in other branches OF the city
government. There Is great enthusiasm
over Gaynor's showing. and some have
even vsntured TO predict q great political
future for him"
Speaking OF Gov. Hughes, Dr.. Adler
said that be also is q most excellent off,
ciai. who has given his services to the
State of New York and Is leaving q rec
ord Of which he may well be proud.
Col. Roosevelt is very popular in Ger
many, and the reception OF his life awaits
him on his arrival in that city. Even
when lsctured before the University
of Berlin as a Roosevelt exchange pro-
fessor. preparations were made for the
great American, OF whom Kaiser Wilhelm
entertsins the highest personal regards. -
Dr.. Adler said that there is absolutely
no desire IN Germany 70 embark IN war
against England, and that the same SEN
timent prevailed in England with re-
gard TO Germany. TT IS no doubt the
aim OF the German Emperor and his peo-
pie TO build q powerful navy. which, how
ever. Is not TO be used against England.
but for the protection OF her colonies
and her evergrowing commerce"
The Mexican Is as fond OF sweet things
as he is OF hot and spicy dishes. &C

"One thing that surprises me-" con-
