ARIZONA is DEMOCRATIC
Early Returns Indicate Defeat of
Every Republican Candidate for
Office in Newest State.

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 13.-Although
the count is proceeding slowly and
returns are fragmentary, republicans
admitted today that the democrats
had probably won. by a small ma
jority, every state office save pos
sibly that of state treasurer in the
states first election yesterday. This
means that G. Hunt, democrat. will
be Arizona's first governor. and Carl
Hayden, congressman. The demo-
Gratis will have a large majority in
both the state legislative houses,
which will elect two United States
senators.
Chairman II lyes of the republican
committee said the democrats would
carry probably the whole ticket by
500 majority. Chairman r ride of the
democratic committee estimated they
would win by n majority OF $500.

Discussing the Andrew C. Smith
filing upon the floou waters, made
on the prospect the government might
abandon the project, he declared that
this filing will be kept alive in the
event the government withdraws. He
intimated that while private parties
holding that filing might not actually
reclaim the land under the extension
they would make seeming efforts to
do so and would retain control of the
water so that it would not become
available for use further up the
stream.
Touching upon the subject of gov
ernmental versus private irrigation,
Mr. Johnson declared the Umatilla
project to be the most perfect from
n standpoint of workmanship, of any
in the United states and he strongly
urged that Uncle Sam be allowed to
do the work that that the extension
not be turned over to private parties.

Is such that the { ling is Of little use
and he declares he has given it no at
tention. His denial brought forth
scornful laughter from the Hermiston
enthusiasts in the gallery.
Would Relhquish Right
Today DR. Coe made a star reply
to the star charge against him by fill
ing the following proposition with the
Pendleton Commercial club.
Pendleton, Ore, Dec. l3, 1911.
Pendleton Commercial Club, Pendle-
ton, Oregon:
Gentlemen-Having determined, as
we believed from accurate information
and upon reliable advice that there
was INSULT cient water to make our
filing for the reservoir site near But
ter creek of value and having done
no work thereon. we had assumed
until the discussion last evening that
our rights under our filings had
lapsed
After hearing the discussion In
which the very great value of these
filings We're described we feel that
they are likely Of. sufficient value
that they should be preserved, al
though we have personally no inteE-
ton or desire to maintain our interest
therein.
Permit me therefore to ask your
body to become trustee for these wa
ter rights for the benefit of every wa
ter user on the river. If therefore
! you will draw the neces ssary papers
| my associates and 1 will execute the
same 70 the benefit of the actual set
tier rancher and farmer for whom
| you viii be trustee.
We will make no charge whatever
! for these rights but VIII turn them
| over absolutely free. This includes
what is known as the Andrew C.
! Smith filing" prepared for us by Mr..
Hobson, engineer for the reclamation
| service.
Yours very truly.

R. R. JOHNSON

One of the strongest arguments pre-
sented in behalf of the extension was
that by Attorney Roscoe r. Johnson,
who ably summed up the contentious
of those who are fighting for govern
mental irrigation. Mr.. Johnson de-
cIared, rs did other speakers, that the
ADJUDICATION Of the water rights along
the river will proceed regardless of
what action may be taken with ref
erence to the extension.

Mr.. Johnson as he was singing the
swan song of the railroads. but what
he said had the obvious effect Of Inn
pressing upon the public and the court
that. II the trust be dissolved. 1t will
be by reason of the aid given the gov
eminent by the record in the case
which Mr. Hearst brought for that pur-
pose.
Mr. Johnson was explaining from his
standpoint why the railroads took over
the stock OF the Iehigh Valley railroad
company to prevent 1t from falling
into the hands OF people who might not
be in sympathy with the hard coal
