The democratic platform pledges to keep faith with the people, but it seems to do so in poor faith.when it claims that Cameron is to blame for the clause in the enabling act preventing a re-registrating for the coming election. This en- abling act was passed by demo- cratic house. It is obviously un- fair, to say that Cameron was smarter than the whole democratic in congress. Ifs he is then he is entitled to a seat in the senate anyhow.

Ralph Cameron Hoyal A. Smith and Jack Williams, republican candidate for the senate and house are creating a panic among the democratic brethren in the south ern part of the territory.

The last overwhelmingly dem ocratic legislature abolished the office of public examiner against the will of the people and because they disliked the man holding that office, and substituted a county examiner" appointed by the off cials he was to examine. It was spite work and done against the will of the people. It is to the peoples interest, actual cash in- terest, to remember such work when you vote.

The people of this county re- member when Ashurst as speaker of the house in the territorial leg islature came very nearly being impeached by his own party for his methods in killing the bullion tax law; they. remember his whin- ing speech for leinency when he came back; they know too of his fight against the Cowan bill, which was to take some SAC, 1000 a year away from the secretary of the territory and put 1t into the terri torial treasury where it belonged. The secretary of the territory was a republican, Ashurst was a deni- ,ocrat, the Cowan bill was mainly dumocratic bill No one in the territory believed the secretary was entitled to the exhorbitant fees of that office when he received a good round salary without it. Ashurst, who claimsto beall that is jolly and good has never explained why he voted against the Cowan bill and the interests of the people.
 Why wouldn't 1t be creditabfe on Ashurst's part to explain rather than attempt to besmirch some one else by Justification to obscure his own past? What has Ashurst ever done for the people?
 How many years has he held office?

Aside from the school lands, which will comprise vast acer- age in Coconino County, there is approximately 10000 acres of university land upon which stands the best timber in the north, which will be turned over to the new state. It is evident from this that Coconino County is vitally in terested in new laws governing the disposal oflands.

mighty dollar that they have neglected their

BY public service corporations. who bought
councilmeu and other minor officials in the or

Legislators were the market and be-
came pictnoric by reason Of the prohts derived
from corporation batting. The usual program,
which years ago was reduced To fine art in
the New York Assembly, was for some member
OF the gang 10 introduce measure obnoxious
to some one Of the large corporate interests of
New York City OF course. the outcome would
be that the Interest attacked would dip hastily
into its 'yaller dog fund. hurry it's attorneys
TO Albany. and buy off the baiters. Following
the cue. these corporations bought and paid for
such legislation as they thought would help
them IN their business.
