Is It to be a Campaign of Dodgins

Is IL to be campaign or Dou9Ih9' There is considerable buncombe being indulged in in reference to the first state officers and their tenure of office A careful reading of the constitution clearly demonstrates that the state of Arizona is compelled to hold a state election one year hence. We must elect three presi- dental electors and one congressman, that is sure Now, the tenure of office of the state and county officers | is merely a matter of legislation. If | the legislature desires an election for | all state and county officers 1t will so decree. if it desires to elect three presidential electors and a congress- man. and make the call for these only the state and county officials | will hold office for three years. It is purely a matter of legislation, only that and nothing more."-Arizona Democrat
 So? And the people are not to be permitted to know in advance how democratic candidates for the lcgis- lature stand on this question? Is it to
 be a campaign of lodging by these candidates?
 To be sure, it is a question of leg isIation. precisely as The Republican | has pointed out It will be for the Legislature to say whether We are to
 have a general election for all off
 cers next year And the people will want to know how aspirants for the Legislature propose to vote on this Iouestion. They will insist upon knowing, before they cast their bal lots for members of the legislature.
 We commend. for the careful con Isideration of everybody, the observa-
 tions made on this topic yesterday by Judge A. c. Baker, one of the ablest
 members of the constitutional conven-
 ton. and a leader of the Arizona democracy.

WHY DR. WILEY IS LIKED.
The Public AppIauds His Frank and
 UnyieIdins Honesty

It doesn't require great penetration
 now tiIat he has spoken, is to be
 well liked by the people.
 II came to be known that there
 was adulteration in foods and drinks. l The greed to make money rapidly | had led manufacturers and dealers
 in food to adopt means of passing loff spurious and often dangerous ad- ulterants for the genuine article; and when one gave an order for articles for the sick room or the table, he Ilittle knew what was to be sold to him under names that were hOnored and trusted, but which had been
 corrupted by the counterfeiter and cheat Years of agitation were necs- sary before the government took action in attempting to check this wholesale fraud, but finally a pure food law was enacted. and steps
 were taken to bring some order of purity to the channels where the opposite had been known. There was fear. as there always is fear in such Instances. that the interested peo- ple" those who were guilty of the frauds, would capture the organiza-
 ton of such a department and through the medium of bribes and | favors. or the discreet distribution
 of stock would gain control of the powers at the head and make the whole thing a farce so far as regu-
 Iation of the adulterants of food was
 concerned.
 Apparently, that is just what they attempted to do, and that they were prevented from succeeding may be due to Dr Wiley and his rugged honesty. He became the head of the
 Bureau of Chemistry and had four men under him. He made his de- lpartment worth while, and pushed along the work until now there are 500 men working in that bureau, and it's work is probably better un- derstood and appreciated by the people at large that any other de- partment of government. When the | Hessians who have been fighting him and holding him back all the tlme' sprung their trump card and the Attorney-General recommended ms dismissal for an alleged lnlacti"h of law, the people woke up anu
 wanted to know whether pr. Wiley had been breaking the law, or whether he was the victim Of
 trap. They didn't propose that he ! should be made the scapegoat whiie
 a lot of bigger sinners went scot free Wiley had been standing up Tor the | square thing. The benzoate Of soda people couldn't capture him or get Ehim to close his eyes to their pols- | onous preservative. He knew that if was unwholesome and dangerous and he said so. How many other | cases there are in which he was | overruled and smothered, no one
 knows. but it is fair to believe that the number is not small, Tor the Doctor in his testimony said that in fully two-thirds of the cases he was overruled by the other two
 members of the board that had fln-
 naIly taken control of such mat tters.

The Impure Food Products.

Tn the shameless hierarchy of graf ters and nullifers. all sorts and con- ditions are found. but the develop ments or collision between purvey- ors of rotten products and Federal officials paid by the tax payers to prevent the sale of impure foods and shoddy drugs, supply another chapter in crime which would be incredible had there not been much respectable and successful deviltry abroad in American politics and busi- ness during recent years, more or less immune under the prevailing conception that much money covers all sins. The testimoyn seems to show that Government Officers members of this Personnel Board in some cases-were detailed by the secretary of agriculture to go into other states and give evidence against the main contention of the head of the Bureau of Chemistry, the eXDenses of these experts being pdld by the government itself. All sorts of underhanded methods were used to trap the confidential agents and friends of pr. Wiley, and his assis- tants and coadjutors in the work of pure food were harassed m shameful manner. and the whole pure food propaganda has had To proceed under frightful hardshlps. These things are parts of the record. IT would be impossible to believe that such crusade against pr. Wiley could proceed merely rom personal animosity. It must nave Ibeen directed from something more uowerful and deep seated. Appar- entIv the attorney general has been duped into taking up a cause when
 was based largely upon satpicu document and must himself nave been the stool pigeon or the con spirators. This is not a pleasant position in which to place the at torney-general and he ought to be as quick as anyone to get out of It. Lewiston Journal

The Lieutenant Governorship.

We beg to condole with the Hon Nose Drachman of Tucson, who is one of the democratic war horses of Pima county.
 The Hon. Nose, We understand. has been busy for some time telling his prospective constituents about the splendors Of the Arizona constitu- 1ion and incidentally asking them to support him for lieutenant-govern After the Drachman boom was well under way. some cruel person caused to be published, for the information of all parties concerned. the text of Section : of Article of the consti- tuition which NIT. Drachman had been praising so highly, the said section reading:
 Tn case of the impeachment of the governor. or his removal from office death. inability to discharge the du- ties of his office. resignation, or ab- sence from the state. the powers and duties of the office shall devolve up- on the secretary of state until tho disability ceases. or during the re- lnainder Of the term
 The section is not in the dearest oi English. and in that respect scarcely does credit to the Hon. Mike Cunniff who looked after the phrase making iob in the constitutional convention
Arizona republican., 1911-09-07

with such care that the document as whole is a credit to him and his Harvard training; but there is no ambiguity that could mislead anybody as to the intention of the convention. Whenever the governor is not on the job the secretary of state steps into the executive shoes. The section is so clear on this point that we are led to the conclusion that Mir. Drach- man has been so busy praising the constitution that he did not have time to read it.
 If the leader of the Tucson demo- cracy wishes to be the residuary Iegatee of the governor he must "go after" the nomination for secretary of state.

A Democratic Warning.

The Clifton Copper Era, a demo- cratic paper of the first rank in point of intelligent editorial direction. makes the following observations con- corning a resolution adopted at lit lie meeting of democrats at Stafford a resolution which set forth the be- lief of those present" that every democratic candidate in the coming campaign should be required to pledge himself to be solidly in favor of the judicial recall"
 The recall of the judiciary ;s not a democratic principle It made its appearance in Arizona as a creation of a republican insurgent of Oregon. who in conjunction with a handful Of insurgents. are attempting to organ ize a new political party in the nation with the recall of the judiciary as one of the blanks in the new political platform. The recall of the judiciary was not an issue of the campaign for the election of delegates to the constitutional convention While it was true that the constitution con- taining this principle was ratified by the people. it should be remembered that this was done with the idea in mind of hUrrying statehood to a sue Cessful end. It is needless to say that the constitution would have re- ceived a larger vote in it's favor if this feature had been eliminated.
 By the step taken at the mass meeting in Stafford the recall of the judiciary is by them made the su- preme and important issue of the ap- preaching campaign. It is required by them that every candidate pledge himself to this principle before he receives their support. According to the program Of the Stafford demo- crats all other democratic principles, which have stood the test of repub- Ican onslaught for many years, are to pale into insignificance, and the recall of the judiciary is to be sub stituted as the final and compulsory qualification for the suffrages of the democrats who attended the mass meeting at Stafford.
 If the course pursued by the dem ocratic mass meeting at Stafford is
 
 cratic convention, requiring as a democratic pledge that every candi- date shall support the principle of the recall of the judiciary, we expect to see a split in the democratic party from one end of the territory to the other on this proposition
 The judicial recall question cannot properly be made test of party feaIty in either the democratic or the republican party. Neither party can rightfully object, however to a rcsubmission of the question in due course after we become a state. nor do we anticipate any opposition to resubmission. The people should al ways have an opportunity to say what they want in government. For this reason The Republican has al- ways advocated the policy of mak- ing it easy to amend the consti- tution
 As to the meaning of the recall propaganda. the Copper Era is emi- nentlv correct in describing it as one of the distinguishing doctrines of the Bourne school of politics-a school which is neither republican nor demo- cratic

INFANT SON DIES
FROM PNEUMONIA
LAST EVENING

Last evening at 10 O'Clock life
left the body Of Hugh Langdon
Hussey, the 13-months'-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Hussey, and
passed to its eternal heavenly home.
The little 0oy, witch a. the jpy
and happiness of his parents and
brothers, was taken sick several
days ago with broncho pneumonia,
and everything known to medical
science to alleviate the child's suf-
ferings and restore its formal good
health was adhered to, but of no
avail. The child was very bright
for its age and general favorite
with all the acquaintances and
friends of the family, who sadly
deplore its demise and offer con-
ISOLATION to the sorrowing mother,
father and little brothers.
The time of burial has not been
announced at the time of going
to press. The grandparents, resid-
ing in Reno, are expected to arrive
tomorrow morning. The funeral
will most likely be held Monday.

'NAMARA JURY
GROWS SLOWLY

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25.--The
Mcnamara jury took appreciable
form last night and spread over the
jury box from the end where Juror
Robert Balm had sat for over seven
weeks with little company. Twelve
men were in the box at the close
of court. Five of these are sworn
jurors, and of the seven others, the
defense is sure to excuse four. Un-
ess conditions change, the state will
not excuse any, and this means
eight sworn jurors in the box. This
is not quite two-thirds of the num-
ber to be sworn, as the state is to
insist upon its legal rights to swea
in fourteen, two to be used as en-
ergency jurors, so as to avoid a mis-
trial for jury causes.
The defense is not satisfied with
any of the men now in the box,
but to use seven peremptory chal-
lenges would leave them but -four
more, and Attorney Darrow believe
he will get along with four, so as
to save his challenges for others
who are still more Objectionable
than those now in the box.
Three new jurors, F. A. Brode
G. Bisbee and j. H. Clarke, were
added to the jury yesterday, making
eight in all. Four were excused b!
the defense and none by the stat'
on peremptory challenges.
Darrow challenged Talesmen OF
colt, McBurney, Marshall and Stew
ems, and when Brode learned h
had not been challenged he told th
Judge there were reasons why h
could not serve. After talk II
chambers with the judge he re
turned, with tears in his eyes, an
was sworn.
The Judge said the reasons relate
to business that would be adjusted
