Hunt Said to Have Changed

SOME DEFECTS IN

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. Quite a turn

the recent declaration Of judge Wells at

legislature that, as its first legislative
act the legislature resubmit the recall

OF the people. AS the people vote on
that section so shall I be guided"
Alongside this declaration should be
placed the claim made by the Douglas
Dispatch that papers which are sup
posed to be close to Big Business in
Arizona have come to the rescue Of
Hunt since he was nominated and open
ly assert that he has changed his mind
on the recall section Of the cCustitu-
tiou and evidences q return to pOlltis

weakened on the recall section and As

these four papers are conducting Hunts
campaigning, the statement is taken as
authoritative"
The Dispatch states that Mr.. Hunt

One Of the defects in the primary
law OF Arizona. according 20 the Ari-

candidate Of another party. If he IN.

Makes Bid For Farmers
Support at the Cotton
Congress.
RAMSEY MAY BE A
STRONG OPPONENT

Austin, Texas, Nov. Men who
have long been close observers Of the
trend Of political affairs in Texas par
ticularly with reference to the outcome
Of the efforts made by public Off
Gals from time TO time on behalf Of
the FARMER are not at all optimistic
over the possible ultimate effect Of
the movement that was inaugurated by
governor COlquitt and promoted at the
recent conference Of governors and 9TH
ers at New Orleans TO bring about an
increase in the price of cotton through
inducing the farmers to Join In a gen
eral holding movement and by other
auxiliary methods. This view is strong
~ held by men who believe that prices
are regulated by the supply and de-
mand.
Usually Dangerous Undertaking.
It has proved to be 2 ticklish propo-
sltion for a man in public life in Texas,
who has expectations for future hon
ors at the hands OF the people which,
OF course, embraces the farmers as the
predominant factor in the elections, to
enlist their efforts towards bringing
about better prices for agricultural
products, particularly cotton Some OF
the friends Of governor COlquitt were
surprised that he should have assumed
the leadership Of the present cotton
political history that several men who
were prominent in political affairs Of
the state have gone down to oblivion
q sa result Of attempts similar to that
which Mr.. COlqUitt and governors Of
other states are now making. II cot
ton prices do go up all is well, but
should they fall and the farmer who
holds his cotton be compelled to sell at
a lower price than he can now obtain
for his product the public officials who
fOstered and supported the holding
movement will be held responsible for
the losses-uot OF course in a financial
sense but in a political way.
The truth Of this assertion was never
better shown than a few years ago
when the cotton warehouse movement
was inaugurated with much gustO by
certain men who were prominent at
that time in the councils Of the Demo
cratic party. These politicians went
about over the state preaching the doc
trine to the farmers that they were
the victims Of gambling interests in
Wall street, and that the spinners were
giving their support TO the depressing
Of cotton prices; that IL the farmers
would stand together and hold their
cotton they would bring these powerful
OppresSOrs, who they alleged were
seeking to profit enormously at the
expense Of the farmers, to time. When
that memorable cotton holding cam
paign vas started cotton prices were
well UP as compared to what they had
been in some previous years. 1t proved
a popular movement, however, and in
houses were built all through the cot
ton belt Of the state and were filled
with the bales from the farms.
Price Failed to Go Higher.
The holding Of cotton in Texas that
particular year exceeded that OF any
previous year Farmers were led to be-

It's Fighting History.
The fighting history Of the fourth
cavalry from It's first engagement in
1855 to and through the Mexican revO-
luton, when the regiment did valiant
service as the border patrol, extends
over a period Of So years, and includes
the indian wars Of the west and south
west, the political troubles in Kansas
preceding the civil war through the
civil war with distinction, including the
great battles OF the rebellion: into old
Mexico afteE the KickapOOs and again
after old Geronimo and Natchez
through the Ute campaign Of 1880. the
Philippine campaign, including the
great battle Of Bud DajO, where the
soldiers OF the United States were
forced to fight fanatical men, women
and children
This engagement was one OF the pages
that is written in red in the regimentaI
history. Troops F, G, I and X Of the
fourth fought during the terrific en-
gagement Of March g. and 8, which
can, commanding the sixth infantry,
now commander at Fort Sam Houston,
from president Roosevelt congratulate
ing the men who participated in this
famous battle who do well uphold the
honor Of the American flag"
It's Wholesome Influence.
Although the famous fighting fourth
had no active part in the recent revolu-
ton, its presence with the battalion of
the 23rd infantry played no small part
in shaping the course OF the events
across the Rio Grande and preventing
the Intervention Of the United States
for cause In the affairs of Mexico Col
Edgar =. Steever, commander OF the
fourth, was the sender Of the now Ia
nous message to the Mexican leaders
telling them to cease firing into Amer
lean territory.
In all of its history since IT was
formed from the raw recruits at Jeffer-
son barracks on March 8, 1855, until
November 4, 1911, there has not been
a single stain Of dishonor to the regi-
mental cOlOrs of the fighting fourth
cavalry, which now wave over the
