Makes Campaign Material.
All these matters are being used by
the Republicans in their campaign on
behalf Of Mr.. Cleayeland- They point
ont that while the Democratic nominee
might be qualified for some OF tHei
county offices he is hardly OF me
right timber to be elevated to the OF
flee Of secretary Of state, which car
ries with il the possibility OF guoeIHa-5
toriaI succession. And It is argued
that, while some OF the WORK OF ~.
Young has not been satisfactory, II IS
not to be compared with what Wouid
be expected in the event OF OsDorn's
election
Sometimes. when one views the rap
idly succeeding events OF TINS an
paign. he is almost led to believe that
II Is the battle-ground for the Whole
country Time and again national poi-
ties have been injected into me 1gnt
and lateIysit seems national a1rairs are
here to stay This does not mean sole
" that national policies are TO the
front because OF the coming eIectlon
lower house Of congress; It means thal
national politics in the sense OF tne
coming control of the affairs OF the
country are being played in Arizona
Hearst Takes a Hand.
The man OF national reputation who
seems to be more active than any one one
else is William Randolph Hearst ne
y
personal representative on the ground
the others contenting themselves Win
correspondence. It IS not known just
yet what the Hearst people are figuring
on. but there IS a strong belief that
Mr.. Hearst is playing for place-that
he is willing to be the tail to the
Democratic kite II he can do no bet
The candidacy Of Mr.. Hearst is being
championed by Henry F. Ashurst, Dem
ocratic nominee for the senate OF
course Mr.. Ashurst is not talking Of
Mr. Hearst as a candidate but he loses
no opportunity to speak good word
for the New York newspaper man, and
by the same token Mr.. Hearst is doing
the same thing The Hearst papers
have been very generous IN the COM
T7Ifr1antarv notices thev have given Mr.
Ashurst's candidacy
Clark Literature Plentiful.
II Champ Clark's press agent Is to
be believed the Missourian is going to
have things all his own way in the
coming convention, and the press agent
aforesaid is doing all he can, consid-
ering that he is working from an Of
flee in New York TO create sentiment
in Arizona for Mr.. Clark. Recently the
state has been flooded with Clark lit
erature: and, it has to be confessed,
that because Of the large number OF
Missouri people living in Arizona the
sneaker is backed by a pretty strong
sentiment here. But whether he can get
the Arizona delegation is another ques-
ton.
HarmOn's Friends at Work.
e Governor Judson Harmon Of Ohio is
also doing some quiet work in this ter
rftorv There never has been very
much fuss about 1t and, in fact, brass
band methods have been conspicuously
absent, that kind OF campaigning hav-
ing been left to Mr.. Hearst. But all
the same It is probable that Mr.. Har-
mon has better chance than any other
man to get the Arizona delegation to
the Democratic national convention
At a meeting Of the allied labor
unions Of this city, known as the Phoe-
nix trades council was passed a reso-
luton declaring for the initiative, ref
erendum and recall, and calling upon
the candidates OF all parties to come
Socialists 2 Problem.
"WiI the Socialists vote their own
marty ticket in this campaign" There
are the best Of reasons for believing
that a large share will do so. and that
! there is a faction strong enough at
least to force consideration Of the
claims of the merits Of the other party
For IT is asked. and with some rea-
son. If the Socialists are going to vote
in a body for their own candidates
/ WHY should they care what the Demo

going to do with reference to the

The result OF the election IN Los An
