AGE AND YOUTH
 FOR MARK SMITH
How the Sentiment Runs | Rock Ribbed
 Graham

The manner in which the old pioneers Of Arizona are backing the younger generation in Arizona to- day in fighting for democratic vic tory. which means the upholding Of the constitution which was adopted by the people is enough to make the republicans drop little bit lower every day, as they continue their, losing campaign.
 An incident of how the old and young and the big and little are standing by the democratic colOrs in old Graham county is given in the account of the meeting held in Safford when the Mark Smith party of the democratic candidates reached that place. An account of this meeting follows, as it was sent 10 the Arizona Democrat:
 SAFFORD. Dec l.-'T voted for Martin Van Buren in 1886. when Andy Jackson was in the presidents chair and I am going to vote for Mark Smith and Henry Ashurst in 1911, just before Taft goes out of the chair."
 This remarkable statement was made to Mark Smith last night % the close of one of the greatest po- litical demonstrations ever known in democratic Graham county. Gran pa" John J. Quinn made the an- nouncement. Mr. Quinn, who is 94 years old, is a resident of Stafford. He voted for Van Buren when he lived in South Carolina, and was but I9 years old, the laws at that time provided that any men over 16 years was a qualified voter Grandpa" Quinn was one of the vice presidents Of the Stafford meet ing and boasts of a record of at i tendance at every democratic meet ing held in Stafford in the last two ! generations.
 Another pledge was made 10 MT Smith in Stafford, this one by Lit tle" Wiley Jones, a nephew Of the Hon. Wiley Jones, who is campaign ing with the democratic candidates. Little" Wiley Jones weighs but 276 pounds and is a democrat all over. which is going some. Jones made ] the following statement to Smith: T can't vote for you and Ashurst, Mir. Smith, because l am a member of Cameron's Arizona Disfranchised Voters league. am q years and s;,x> saopths old and have lived in Arizona Sfor fifteen years, yet through Cameron's work, am unable to vote IfVall the 1000 voters dis franchised bF Cameron are working as hard for he democratic ticket as I am. those 5000 majorities they are talking aboG. will be a great deal larger.
 Little" Wiley was also a vice president of last nights meeting, a living proof of the slap taken at young Arizona by the Cameron en- abling act
 Mark Smith was given an ovation that brought tears 10 the eyes of the veteran representative, and urged to continue by the crowd, made one of the most brilliant speeches Of his career, deyoting a great deal of his time 10 the tariff question, one with which he is thor oughly familiar.
 Reese Ling of Prescott, in his
 speech paid particular attention tC the records of the republican reac
 tionaries and dealt at length with
 CameTon's appointment of a Boston boy 10 Annapolis 10 the exclusion
 of capable lads born and bred iu the territory. He also spoke oi Cameron's record on statehood, and
 with the predicament in which
 Wells and Doe would lind them selves should the impossible happen and they be called upon to take
 office, swearing 10 support the con stituliOn of Arizona Of which the. have been BotOriously the bitterCs
