NEED OF THE LAB0RER

Eugene Brady O'Neiu, candidate for the nomination for United States senator, addressed an audience in front of the post office last night. It was the second visitation Of Mir O'Neill in this campaign. The first was for the purpose of spying out the land This time he came to talk.
 The address of Mir. O'Nein consist cd of two parts, the latter being an exposition of the principles of democ- racy, and a presentation of the req sons why he should be sent to the senate at this formative period of the new state, when only strong men are wanted; men who can command the attention Of the nation.
 The first part of the speech was the recitation of a humorous lecture en- titled: How it Happened: or. What Would Have Happened if l Hadn't Been There
 In this. was explained by the speak CT, the difficulty of making new states. lt isn't childs play, according to Mir. O'Neill, and in this case, Mir. O'Neill encountered difficulties that prior state-makers did not have to con tend with.
 Here was an unwilling senate: a dilatory president whom Mir. O'Neil could not keep interested in the sub ject of statehood more than half the time, and who on one occasion. when Mir. O'Neill wasn't watching slipped away from the White House and went to Beverly, where he put in three days playing golf when he ought to have been approving statehood reso- lutions, for which work he was re- ceiving S50.0O0 a year.
 But a hostile senate and a lazy president were not all of the troubles for Mr. O'Neill. There were traitors at home and powerful corporations all over the country exerting an ad- verse influence.
 But there came a turn in the tide. He whipped she senate into line, or at least a majority of the members, and, though his modesty prevented him from saying so, he was evidently elected United States senator at large with all the rights and privi- leges of the regular members except the privilege Of voting. But Mir. O'Neill did not miss that privilege very much, since he had the inherent power Of commanding the senators to vote.
 In all this struggle. Mr. O'Neil ney- CT lost heart; never got discouraged, but kept getting madder and madder all the time. The gates of hell could not prevail against him, and finally he forced the statehood resolution through and in the words of the sage v a
 MT. O'Nein felt impelled to give the inside of the statehood fight be- cause the other news sources had not done so. The Associated Press had not given credit to whom credit was due. and if the Associated Press had done its duty in those direfui days. the servile papers of Arizona would not have printed the news.
 One of the inside facts disclosed by Mir. O'Neill, was that the chief ob- lection to the constitution of Arl- zona was not to the recall of the jU diciary: not to the initiative and ref. erendum, but to the corporation com mission clause. If only the recall of the judiciary had been objected to, there would have been little opposi- tion. The president would have quit the game of golf long enough 10 ap- prove the Flood resolution but 1t was ordered that there should be no state hood under a constitution which pro Dcsed to cinch the corporations.
 In this statement Mir. ONeill re- lied largely, perhaps too much. on the creduIity of his hearers. The fact is apparent that the president did sign the resolution in spite of the corporation commission clause. He never raised any objection to 1t. The subject was never alluded to in the debates of either the house or the senate.
 In elucidating the principles of dem ocracy MT. ONeill took occasion to
