of that mansion are all occupied, and

Patronage Cutting u Figure.

Patronage is cutting quite iIgure in
these Congressional conferences with
the President nowadays. A little bit of
patronage here and there may help a
Congressman out Of a tight hole in
these parlous times. and accordingly he
hurrics away to the, President to see if
he can get it. However. the President
has precious little patronage to bestow
Just now beyond a few Postmasters for
the insurgents. He honored many of
those Endorsements following the pub
lication of his now rather famous letter
of 10 days ago. when he announced that
the pap which had been withheld from
the wicked insurgents would now be
bestowed. Most of the insurgent Sena-
tors and Representatives have been get
ting a few offices of late, but these were
offices that they expected to have many
months ago. g.
While there was quite a hullabaloo
over the patronage letter for few days
ii has quieted down, and the President
is hearing very little about it now. The
insurgents were more interested in get
ting the places for their followers than
in criticiZing the letter.
Quite bit has been heard around
Washington about calling the National
Republican Committee together for
consultation because of the desperate
straits in which the Republicans find
themselves politically. No credenca is
given to that sort of talk. 1t would be
an unusual proceeding. Then, 1t would
be practically impossible to get any
thing like respectable representation
of the National Committeeman to
Washington at this time. If they were
to come 1t is doubtful whether they
could add to the Presidents fund of in
formation or to the sound party advice
which has already been proffered. Dur

salary, and with living high it is no
time for indulging ones wanderiuSt.
Moreover, a Macedonian cry has gone
up for all officaIdOm at Washington to
hump itself home and vote this Autumn.
The campaign committees are not pay
ing railroad fare as they used to do in
the days before there was publicity in
campaign contributions. Moreover, in
many OF the States the hapIess Govern
ment clerk and official mus. not only
pay for the travel incident to going
home to vote. but ne must make d pre-
vious trip and register Some of them
were able to do that this year on their
vacations before The President hikcd

their presence next to imperative. For
the word went forth that the Depart

It was the expressed request of MT and Mrs c. A. Baldwin who arrived on the eight o'clock train yesterday morning from Long Beach with the remains of their three year old daughter that there should be a simple burial service and their de- sires were respected.
 The saddened parents were met at the train by a few of their intimate friends in automobiles and a pro- cession headed by Rev. Hawley fol- lowed by the corpse being transfer red by C. F. Hemperly with the parents and friends following in cars to the number of seven made up the procession that slowly proceeded to the cemetery where burial took place
 A number of beautiful floral pieces were sent by friends. A simple but very impressive ceremony consisting of a prayer by Rev. Hawley at the grave preceded the burial.
 The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community in this their first great sorrow in their immediate family.

HOMECOMING
 DELEGATES Their Work Commended in Selection of Candidate .C.s. STEWARD PARTY CHOICE Something of the Battle Waged by Republicans of County to get Candi- date to Make Campaign For Convention.
C.S. STEWARD PARTY CHOICE

The important feature of the homecoming of the delegates present at the county convention Saturday was in their receipt of cOngratula- tions upon the selection of candi- date to go into the campaign for the constitutional convention. The name of C. $. Steward meets with the general approval of tn eparty not only in Mesa but the entire south side and it is the consensus of opin- ion that no other candidate could possibly have been selected who would command a stronger party vote. And the delegates as well as a number of the republicans work CTS not only on the south side but on the north side as we'll are taking not a little of the praise of the se- lection to themselves and especially is this accentuated when it is known the amount of effort that was neces- sary in securing the selection of the gentlemen named to go before the convention. Not that there was any doubt of the attitude of the conven- tion but the fight was in getting Mir Steward himself to consent to hay ing his name placed before the con vention. The result was entirely sat isfactory the Mesa candidate receiv- ing next to the largest number of votes cast for any candidate.
 Mir Stewards hesitancy to go into the campaign is recent history. He is a busy man and an active cam fcs Saariffaa hnf so strong were the demands from the delegations and the south side as well as the north side that at the last moment he gave his consent There is hardly a voter in Maricopa county but who is not personally acquainted with Jack Steward. There is hardly a voter who does not know that since he has entered the race that he is in to win.
 However. the real feature of Mesa g candidate is not that he is a well known man and the choice of the party throughout the county but that he is what is known as "constitu- tiOnal timber" He is man who cannot be swerved from what he be- lieves to be right No matter what may be said against him in the com ing campaign calculated to do him harm no man vii be able to say truthfully that Jack Steward can be influenced from what he believes tO be the right course. He is man who takes the heart of his cOnstitu- ency with him when he goes to rep resent the people and no one knows better than the people of Maricopa county that any trust reposed in him is never betrayed
