general election next November, when besides the president, there will be elected a new state family-state leg islators, supreme court judges, gover- nor and executive officers-and there will be an advisory vote on a candi- date for the short term United States senatorship, also there will be elected county officers. With the exception of the presidential vote, next years general election will be almost a rep etition of the election on December .12
 There will be of course another di- rect primary election next year, and this the legislature will provide for The people will always remember 1912 as ballot" year. First they will vote on the recall amendment; then the presidential primary will be held; then the direct primary cleo tion, and last the general election in November, at whicF Arizona will cast her first vote for president.
 One of the interesting features of the acts of the first legislature will be the reapportionment of the coun- ties of the state for state senators and representatives. The present appor- tionment is based upon the votes cast for delegates to the constitutional con- vention, and many of the counties are dissatisfied, the contention being that the apportionment, should be based upon the population. The first legis- lature well probably be guided by the census returns of 1910 in making the reapportionment.
 The enabling act grants Arizona 2,25O,OO0 acres of public lands for the purpose of creating funs for school purpose of creating funds for school Laws must be enacted for the admin istration of the land grant and as there are many bona fide settlers on some of the land care must be eXer- cised to protect their rights. Appro- priations must be made for the schools, public institutions and for public purposes in general, sufficient for the needs of the state until a new legislature meets.
 One act that may cause some sor- row will be the abolition of the fee system for the county offices of sher- if, constable and justice of the peace. The legislature will place these off ces on salary basis.
 An employers liability law and workmen's compulsory compensation law must be passed; also laws provid- ing for the safeguarding of the health and limb of underground workres. The office of mines inspector will be created.
 Laws for the incorporation and classification of cities and towns in proportion to their population must be passed. Then the constitution pro- vides a number of"shalls" for the cor poration commission and corpora tions other than municipal
 Laws will be passed forbidding the issuance of railroad passes to any of flee holder; also a corrupt practices act and law forbidding lobbying in either house.
 Then there will be enacted laws pro- viding for registration to secure the purity of elections

 Cobb's Letter.
 Clifton, Ariz., Oct. 27th, 1911. Hon Mulford Winsor,
 Yuma, AriE,,
 My Dear Mulford,-
 Permit me to mingle my tears with yours at the same time drinking to copa- If you need any more sackcloth and ashes draw on me at sight I can pay promptly. It is the only currency I now have. The direct pri- mry is undoubtedly a poor mans game after taking. Please thank my friends in Yuma county for their support; as soon as Hind yours up here I'll do the same,-and more.
 Yours very truly,
 LAMAR COBB.
 Winsor's Reply
 Yuma, Arizona, Nov. 2, 1911. Hon. Lamar Cobb,
 Clifton, Arizona, T'T$s,~ Dear Lamar, SD, aking of my friends in Greenlee urge you to forgive them, for they knew not what they did, thereby em- ulating the noor example set some two thousand years ago by all too poorly informed critics of one greater even than Hayden of Maricopa
 Thanks for the lachrymaI contribu- tion. I deem it appropriate indeed that our tears should be shed in com mon, for there are many evidences that Arizona's Democracy might have been happy with either of us were 'tother dear charmer away"
 And if you have any kick coming at the direct primary, tell your troub- les to Neil Bailey. It is now up to us to do our very best for the whole ticket; and after all, while you and I will admit it could have been improved in at least one particular, it's a pretty good ticket at that.
 With best wishes for your rapid re- covery from the period of depression both mental and financial, which both instinct and my own condition tell me you are passing through, am
 Sincerely your friend,

however, is counting on from 10000

Half of the election officers are to

after that the term is to be two
years. The successful candidate is
eligible for six years, by seeking re-
appointment at the expiration of his
