Mr.. Hunt received much praise
from his opponents at the time the
editorial referred to was published
but some pressure has been brought
to bear upon him to reverse himself
Probably the socialists who voted
for him so numerously at the pri-
maries threatened to withdraw that
support upon election day if he did
not again change his mind.
Mr.. Hunts statement regarding
the recall as quoted by the El Paso
Herald reads:
81 believe the recall feature
of the Arizona constitution Is the
best thing in it and | want the
recall reinstated just as it is.
Contrary to statements attribut-
ed to me in some papers, | do
not wish to see it modified in
any way"
Mr.. Hunt gives it as his opinion
that, in the main, the railroads have
been taxed fairly equitable, but that
the cattle companies, the Pullman
company, the express companies and
other corporations Che did not name
them) have not borne their share of
the expense of running the state gov
ernment, but his platform is abso-
lutely silent on the question of tax
alton.
During the preprimary campaign
the charge was freely made that Mr..
Hunt was the candidate of the rail
/ Dads and the big mining corpora
tions and that the charge had some
foundation in fact is borne out by the
:llence of Mr. Hunts platform on tn
question of taxation and by the bou-
GIets thrown the railroads and big
mining corporations by Mr. Hunt ir
his interview.
1t may be true that the railroad,
and big corporations are bearing
their just burdens of taxation and
Mr.. Hunt may be right. but why
does he carry water on both should
ers. l. e.. favor the corporations when
talking to the. correspondent of q
newspaper published In Texas. and
supposed to have small circulation
among the workingmen OF Arizona
and vehemently denounce corpora
tions of whatever nature when max
ing speeches to the miners in the
Dig copper camps of the state?

CAPITAL is WAITING.

That the people of Arizona are
thoroughly aroused to the gravity Of
the political situation and prime i'm
portance of starting the new state
right is given ample evidence by the
great audiences which flock to hear
the republican candidates wherever
they may speak.
For a year past there has been a
financial depression in Arizona which
has borne down heavily upon all
classes, but particularly upon bust
ness men who cater to the immed-
late needs of the public, and upon
the workingmen who find themselves
together. With the workingmen out
of work the merchants can't sell
their goods and they in turn must
discharge clerks and otherwise re-
duce expenses, thereby adding to the
general feeling of depression.
What is the cause of it all? The
ore is in the mines and the mines
are in the hills; what is the trou-
BILE?
Capital will not come into Ari-
zOna until it has an assurance that
it will be given square deal and
that assurance cannot come until
the demagogic business destroyers
who, posing as democrats, have had
the center of the stage for the past
two years inveighing against capital,
seeking to arouse class hatred and
arraying those who have against
those who have not.
Idle capital never was more abun-
dant than 1t is now In the money
centers of the east, but not dollar
of it will be invested in Arizona rail
roads, mines, timber lands, irriga-
tion projects, farming lands or man
ufacturing enterprises until the dem
agogic business destroyers are re-
tired to private life and practical
business men with we'll defined ideas
Of the needs of the people and of the
correlation of business men and work
ingmen Their interests are mutual.
Unless both classes prosper neither
will prosper.
What Is needed is restoration OF
prosperity in all lines and the peo-
pie. are looking to the republicans to
bring about that restoration
!: Capital is waiting to see whether
the outcry against every man who
has money is made merely by dema-
gogic office seekers or whether it is
! the voice of the people. For that
reason everything depends upon the
result of the battle which will be
fought out with the ballot box on De-
cember II next. 1.
If prosperity is to be restored there
is but one thing to do-vote the
republican ticket from top:to bottom.

MR.. HUNT REVERsES HIMSELF.

Mr. Hunt in an interview in the
FL Paso Herald declares himself in
favor of the reinstatement of the
principle of the recall as applied to
judges in the constitution just as il
at present reads.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Hunt, in
an editorial, in his personal organ
at Globe, declared for the amend
ment of the recall of judges to make
it possible, in case recall should
be initiated, that the judge recalled
should be tried on the merits of the
recall petition and the case not com
plicated by his political enemies who
might see an opportunity to elect
judge of their own political faith by
putting him up to be voted for al
the same election which would de-
eide the recall

APoLOGISTS sQUEAL.

I'VE denOunce the attempt of the
republican party OF Arizona to stig-
matize the democratic party as dema
gogic" is the wording of one of the
planks promulgated by the Hunt
democrats at their party council last
Saturday.
1t is probably the first time in the
history of party politics that such a
plaintive wall has been permitted to
be Incorporated in a party platform
It certainly is unlike the attitude
hitherto invariably assumed by the
militant old line democrats who
fought hard, conceded nothing and
had no apologies to make.
But the democracy of Arizona as
lined up in this campaign Is moi
democracy OF the old line type. Ii
is a pseudo democracy masquerad-
ing under false colOrs. 1t has been
on the defensive since it fell under
the domination of George w. P. Hunt.
It's preprimary campaign was cam
paign of apologies-Mr Hunt apollo
gized for his woful ignorance Mr.
Ives apOlgiZed for his connection with
corporations, Mark Smith apologizeQ
for having done nothing during hi1
twenty years in Congress-and so
on down the line.
They are apologizing yet, but that
they should have put an apOOlgy ir
the platform is incomprehensible eX-
cept upon the. hypothesis that they
feel that they are whipped and have
laid the foundation for an alibi.

Imagine George w. p Hunt aS
governor of Arizona, acting as host
to such delegations as visited Phoe-
nix during fair week this year, pre-
siding at banquets such as were
tlOns, and delivering addresses on as
many different subjects and on as
many occasions as the governor OF
Arizona was called upon to do in hi
capacity as head of the government
last week-but, what's the use; the
imagination of mortal man has a
limit and Hunt in any such capacity
as indicated above is not within that
limit

The Hunt platform is silent upon
the question of exemptions from at
tachment for debt to be granted

son may find themselves distressed
That always was a touchy point with
Mr.. Hunt. but the question is one in
which the workingmen of Arizona are

quired to answer satisfactorily as the

Rumors of a Strike
in Railroad Circles.
Officials Say it Would Be Suicidal to
Advance Wages Now, Because
of Deficit in Earnings.

II there is TO be strike on the western
railroads, officials in Omaha have no
knowledge of such action At least, that is
what they say. Rumors of strike con-
tinue to reach the offices, all coming from
the east, where they originate.
Their contention is that with most OF the
roads showing a big deficit In earnings
during the last fiscal year II would be
suicidal for the roads to agree to an ad
vanced wage in any department. The con-
tention of railroad officials here is that
conditions are not likely to show any
marked improvement so long as the courts
and the Interstate Commerce commission
continue to hand down decisions against
the interests Of the roads. They also con-
tend that there is not much hope for i'm
proved conditions until after the next
presidential election.
Railroad employees here have nothing to
say relative to the labor situation. They
are simply waiting the action of the heads
of labor organizations to which they belong.
In the event that strike order should be
issued many of them expect that they
would be compelled to walk out However.
those who are holding positions contend
that little could be accomplished by a
strike, as in the end, on account OF the time
they would lose they would be losers in the
long run, even II they should be granted
an increase.

In the Boys Behalf.
After Wing had entered his pleas OF
guilty Judge Estelle asked him II he had
anything to say for himself. The young
man turned to his attorney f. G. McGil-
ton, who came forward TO make brief
speech in the boys behalf.
The attorney said Wing never before has
been in trouble. and except for the automo-
bile thefts has led an exemplary life; he
has been and is a church member; as
machinist in the Union Pacific shops he
is considered an able man. Mr.. McGilton
said all the stolen cars, the two in the
cases at bar and the other two, have been
returned to their owners. He said the
case comes within the spirit of the parole
law, which provides for suspended sentence
and parole in case of first offense. While
there were several thefts. Mr. McGlton
said, they may be considered one Of
Tense.
