Go to the Polls Tomorrow.

Mr. Citizen: You have heard a
great deal in the past year about the
need of popular rule. See to it that
you do your duty tomorrow.
During the campaign preceding the
constitutional convention, The Re
publican frequently pointed out that
the direct primary provides the ideal
means of placing in the hands Of the
people the control Of their own af-
fairs Political conventions and po-
liticaI bosses are eliminated. a hand
ful Of citizens can place a candidate
before the public in the primaries,
and at the primaries, if the people
desire it. there is a long list of men
from whom to make a choice of
candidates.
In the primary elections which viii
be held in every precinct tomorrow.
the voters are required to choose the
men who shall be candidates for Of
flee at the general election OF De-
cember l..
Democrats. scanning the list OF as
pirants printed on the democratic
ballot, will mark the names Of their
choice. Republicans and Socialists
viii do the same.
The votes Will be counted. and
under the law the men chosen by
the masses of the voters of each
party will be the regular candidates
Of that party.
on account of the bitter strife,
among democratic aspirants, and be-
cause of their large number, it is
presumed that such an interest has
been aroused among the democratic
voters as will assure a heavy demo-
cratic vote
There is no strife in the socialist
party and rivalry among republican
aspirants is confined to a few Of
fices. but this Will furnish no ex-
cuse for republican or socialist voters
to stay at home. Every citizen who
pretends to an interest in the well
fare of Arizona owes it to himself
and to the commonwealth to go to
the polls tomorrow and deposit his
ballot

BRiTAIN'S GREAT BATTlESHIP.

The King George V has been des-
cribed as the biggest battleship aflOat
The accuracy of that may be chal-
lenged. for while the exact dimensions
Of the ship have not been disclosed it
is understood on good authority that
it is intended TO displace only about
$4,000 tons. whereas the Argentine
monsters recently launched have a ton

and Arkansas. which are nearly COM
pleted, rate at 26,OOO. The British ship
is. however. the largest ever launched
by any European power, and that is the
real consideration.
The King George V is believed to be
sos feet long between perpendiculars,
or z96 over all. with a beam of SO
feet. It will have four propellors driI

Of $1,000 horsepower. which. is ex-

The New Civic Center Idea.

If the plans Of the promoters do
not go awry. a new political ma
chine. national in scope and unique
in character, is to be brought into
existence tomorrow, at Madison, Wis
consin The character of the new
machine is to be unlike any other, in
that all parties are to have an equal
show for its benefits The idea is a
logical outgrowth Of the direct pri-
mary. and primarily the purpose is to
arouse among the masses a greater
interest in politics and in the af-
fairs of government. Delegates from
several states will attend the Madi-
son meeting.
Briefly. the promoters of the move
ment propose that every school house
in the United States shall become
meeting place for voters, there to
discuss local and national political
questions affecting the public veal
It is asserted that the movement will
mark historic epoch. as beginning
a new power in national politics
the power of the whole people, en-
Heightened and educated. In the school
houses republicans. democrats. So
cialists. and members Of all other
parties will meet and in discussion
and debate thresh out their agree
ments and their differences.
The Madison meeting is intended.
in short. to launch formally. on 4 ma
tional scale. the new civic center

have already heard more or less.

An Astounding Revelation.

In his address at the plaza Sat
urday evening. Mr.. Brady O'Nein
boosted that he and Mr. G. w. p
Hunt. while they were members Of
the legislature, rifled the private
desks of other members in search of
documentary information of some
sort.
If Mr.. O'Neill had made this boast
while he and Mr.. Hunt were still
members of that legislature and the
statement could have been
taken as truthful. both O'Neill and
Hunt would inevitably have been ex-
PEELED from the membership of that
legislature.
Were a member of the United
States senate or of the house of
representatives TO rifle the desk Of
a fellow member, expulsion would
promptly follow. Such an offense
would lead to the expulsion of a man
from any lodge or any club which
pays attention to the ethics which
govern the actions of a man of
ordinary decency.
The people of this community al
ready have a pretty good knowledge
OF Mr.. O'Neill. But his boast of
Saturday evening. if truthful. throws
a new and interesting light on the
character of George Hunt.

And wrote a moment in the sand
While waiting for a sinless hand

Should every stone in all the world
