The Democratic Candidate For Gov

The Hon. George Willie Paul Hunt Git is Willie, not William) no doubt expects to receive the votes of most of the socialists in the December election, but hundreds of thinking democrats will decline to vote for him and will vote for Judge Wells command the socialist vote that he expects remains to be seen. Social ists of the educated class are strong ly in favor of staying with their own party-they know that a great socialist party can never be built up if socialists only talk for their party during the year and vote for the candidates of other parties in the elections. And Hunts candidacy does not appeal to the thinking socialists. Assuming that it is true that he was among the first to enroll himself as member of the original social ist club when it was formed at Globe many years ago, socialists know that ever since then Hunt has posed as a democrat and has been repeatedly elected to the legislature as a demo- crat. In the primary campaign he seemed successful in evading the question as to whether he was a democrat or a socialist. The only positive expressions he has made would align him with the insurgents in Congress
 The most accurate analysis of Hunts politics. probably, would be

voters remained away from the pri- mary polls last Tuesday. They pre- ferred to lose their votes in the pri- mary election rather than declare by inference that they would support only the candidates of one party
 Year by year the old party ties are becoming weaker. This is true all over the United States. In form CT years a candidate or an orator politician could always get ''tremend- ous applause" by declaring that he never voted anything but a straight ticket" Now, when a speaker makes such a declaration he evokes noth- ing but smiles of derision. Only a small minority in either party habitu- ally votes the straight ticket" In Maricopa county and Arizona generally it is the same as elsewhere in the country. In total vote of. say, 4.000 in this county, it is found in late years that at least three-fourths of the ballots are scratched. Re publicans vote for democrats, and democrats vote for republicans.
 Consequently, a law requiring vot- CTS to place a party label on them selves before they can vote in a pri- mary election has the effect of keep ing a large proportion of electors away from the polls.
 A primary election ought to be se- cret in every detail, like a general election. A list of all the candidates ought to be printed on one ballot. and voters should be allowed to vote for the candidates of their personal choice And then, when the votes are counted. if it is found that a given candidate has secured a ma jority of all the votes cast, his name alone should go on the official bal lot in the general election-in other words. the primary election ought to be decisive when a candidate gets a majority. and he should be relieved of making a campaign for the general election Candidates should not be to make a campaign after the primaries except when they have received a plurality only.
 There are numerous other objec- tions to our present primary law, most of them of minor importance, possibly. but the law should be over hauled by the first legislature of the state.

OUR FIRST GOVERNOR.

The heavy vote boiled by Judge Wells is a fitting tribute to the man and a certain indication of who will be the new states governor. On all sides comment was heard regarding the political inactivity of Yavapai's first citizen. Not alone did Judge Wells refuse to take the stump but he was one of the few candidates in the territory who absolutely refused to electioneer. The card system. the political handshake and the jolly good fellow effusion were not in the judges repertoire.
 Reports from the south stated al though Judge Wells has not been in this section for many years he boiled an exceptionally heavy vote" That proves two creditable things First that the judge did not solicit a vote, and secondly. that the people of AriZ- ona remembered and supported a man whom they recognized as one of their most capable and worthy citizens.
 As the smoke of battle clears away we cannot but feel sympathy for the vanquished-it is only right that we should. We are living in an age of and let us continue along these lines. But the methods adopted by some of the successful nominees for high positions of honor and trust are in strong and debasing contrast to the actions and deeds of the man who was forced by his friends. of all parties, to accept the for governor of the new state of Arizona. Throughout the Union we will now be judged as We should be-a clean. young, progressive by a sterling pio- Miner.

Current Comment
POLITICAL ROOMS

Announcement has been made at the headquarters of the National Progressive Republican Campaign Committee in Washington that branch headquarters would be opened in Chi cagO at once.
 The Chicago branch will engage in promoting progressive sentiment in the states of the middle west and as far west as the Rocky mountains. It is likely that another branch will be established on the Pacific coast to look after the progressive crop in the far west. Boston may also be- come a center of progressive activity in the near future, and a base of political operations for New Eng land.
 These are busy days for the repub- lican insurgents, who seem to be well supplied with funds, and have ex- tended their headquarters until they now occupy nearly one floor of a big office building in Washington. A force of about fifty clerks is steadily employed handling correspondence and sending out literature.

legged interview between him and President Taft, in which the gover- nor promised President Taft the dele gates and the electoral vote of Wy oming Gov. Carey made it clear to the La Toilette managers that he is opposed to the renomination of President Taft and will work for an insurgent delegation to the Republi- can national convention.
 Gov. Carey, who served a term in the United States Senate years ago as a republican, was elected governor as Fusion candidate over the regu- lar republican nominee, being sup ported by the democrats and insurg ent republicans. He is now an act i've candidate to succeed Senator Warren.
 Ex- Secretary Garfield, who is sup posed to have attended the confer ence of the progressives at Chicago with the knowledge and consent of Mir. Roosevelt, undertook to / define the latter's position. He is quoted as saying that MT. Roosevelt would not openly support President Taft's re- nomination, but would not say a word either for or against him.
 While the Woman's National Mis- sionary association of the Universal ist church was in session at Spring field, Mass a few days ago, some one suddenly introduced a resolution in favor of woman suffrage as fol lows
 Whereas women in all but six States of the United States are de- prived of representation. while equally taxed with men for the support of the government: Therefore, be it
 Resolved, That all women thus hu- initiated as citizens and greatly hind cred in the work for social better ment should seek the ballot. both as a symbol of political freedom and as an instrument for promoting the pub lie welfare.
 The unexpected introduction of the resolution caught most of the dele gates off their guard, and while there were a number in the minority who expressed themselves as decidedly op- posed to the passage of a resolution
 
 tion, their unpreparedness to contest it resulted in its passage.
 The dispute in Missouri as to whether Folk or Clark shall have the state delegation, still continues. Mir. Folk has issued the following statement:
 The democrats of Missouri have indorsed Gov. Folk for the demo- cratic presidential nomination through their chosen representatives in ,n- vention assembled This indorsement was part of the last democratic plat form, and was accepted in good faith by large majority of the democrats of the state. This action was taken after full discussion before the people for six months previous to the con vention. Back of this indorsement. I believe. is the will of more than so per cent of the democrats of the state Mir. Clark, it will be remem bered, was the chairman of that con vention.
 Every fair-minded man will con- cede that Gov. Folk should be given the states delegation. The demo- crats of Missouri have spoken once, and they can speak again.
 Tn reply to this Speaker Clark says that he has not sought the and then adds:
 My own opinion is that all offices, including the presidency, belong to the people. No man ever declined a for president by great party. and no man ever will decline such nomination.
 Meanwhile the struggle goes merrily ! on.

WILLIAM FRIETAG MEETS SUDDEN
 SUMMONS
(From Tuesday's dailyl


 William Freitag, died suddenly on Sunday morning from tuberculosis, after an illness of less than one year. He had been a resident of this city for about six months, coming for a change in climate from Jackson, Mich, and was an emplOye of the machine shops of the s. F. P. & P. railroad.
 His death is a shock to many of his friends, enjoying as he did an ex- cellent name among all. A sad fea- ture is that he was preparing to leave during the afternoon for his old home when the summons came without any warning and while apparently he was in a vigorous condition.
 He is survived by a widow and two young daughters, to whom the sym pathy of many friends is extended in their bereavement He was aged about B years, and was a member of the Masonic and Maecabee fraterni- ties, and was identified with the In- ternational Machinists' union. The remains are at Maus' parlors to be prepared for shipment in few days to the old home.

While in the Bradshaws Sheriff Smith stated that he inspect ed the new strike made by Geo. P. Harrington on the Nelson mines, which is attracting much attention in mining circles, and is unquestion- ably the greatest discovery that has been made in that section for many years.

MINING ACTIVITY CONTINUES IN

MonaNe lOuntN MlEeI)
 R. J. Fergusan has gone east for the purpose of interesting capital in a number of mining enterprises in which he is interested or the owner. He will be gone about two months.
 The big cOncentrator plant of the Needles Mining & Smelling company is now running full blast on ore from the company's mines in this county and custom ores sent in for trial. Thousands of tons of ore is piled up at the plant awaiting treatment and it is expected that it will take sev- eral months to make a cleanup.
 Dr. L. D. GodshaT, who is interest ed in the Alpha Arizona Mining com pany, spent a day or so at the mines last week and returned to Kingman enthusiastic over the looks of the property. He brought back with him some very rich gray copper ore from the breast of the deep tunnel.
 Yesterday Lovin < Withers Com pany's big teams loaded up with six and ten-inch water pipe for the Gold road mines. One of the big wagons carried many tons of valves and other fittings for the big pipes, the water pipe is understood to be for use in the mine, in which a large flow of water was recently encountered. The drift east from the Billy Bryan shaft on the TOO level has been cutting water stratas that have given the pumps all they could do to handle the volume, and it is the understanding that the company is now making ready for any flow that may be en- cOuntered in running up the mountain.
 J. c. Hooker, of San Diego, was in Kingman last week, having come here to take look at the new work that is being done on one of the properties of the Treasure Hill Min ing company. He spent a few days at the mine with Superintendent Masters and returned well satisfied with the showing. At a depth of 120 feet the shaft is in rich gold ore, the body being of good width and giving promise of getting better. A crosseut and drift are being run and it is expected that the vein will be opened each way from the shaft. To the north great depth will be gain ed, the vein running up the high ridge to the south of the Banner lode, now being worked by the '. s. Smelling company.
 G. D. Atlee, general manager of the Longst-eet mine, was in Kingman the first of the week. He reports that work is now progressing on the drifts on the property and that the ore is showing better and better with each day.

Quarter sec tiOn tracts are being surveyed at present to be allotted to the Indians near Parker. The movement is at tended by general rejoicing, and prospective locators are very much elated over it.
