fortunate In having some llSuIS
shrewd political advisers from the pc

a man who believes the destlnleS o.
Arizona are bound up in those prlncI-
pies of direct legislation whose ehun-
citation takes up a large part OF space
in the constitution
''Hayden's friends say he is DIT 700
radical" was the most striking state
ment in his campaign literature, WhlCu
was scattered all over the territory -, -
a matter of explicit truthtulness, NJ.
Hayden's friends never said any thlIIs
Of the kind; but IS candidate couIo
not be too radical to suit the voters
Of Arizona, and more particularly Ile
Democratic voters, the phrase ala an
immense amount Of good.
The Reaction Certain.
Almost everybody knows sometnlnS
of a reaction is certain to come IN Ar
iona some time. It is the general opHl-
ion among the more conservative OF
both parties, that the wave or raoIcaL
ism has reached high water marx IN
Arizona; not that the state Will eISt
go back to the conservatism OF liz
east; but it is patent to everybody VINO
has taken the trouble to investigate
that many of the political scneHes aIe
impracticable. In fact, the pest law
yers Of the territory say there are pIO-
visions in the constitution that never
can be carried out. This means, OF
course, something Of REIMBURSEMENT

Those who have gone the limit IN Iau a

on straight again.
But let it be understood that these
| remarks do not apply to Mr.. Hayden
| There is no man in either party VINO
! has in reality said less than mas ne
/ He has said sThe man who hopes to
/ be elected must be right on the con-

them.
Henry f. Ashurst, Democratic can
/ didate for United States senator, is nav
/ ing his troubles. Ashurst Is a COM
1 paratiVely young man, one to wnom az
1 candidate looks easy, but he has been
| learning the past few days that II IS
1 not all beer and skittles" when one
| comes to play the game Of the aspiring
| candidate.
Mr.. Ashursts present troubles lie in
/ the fact that the people having TO do
! with the affairs OF the republican cam
| paign, have taken it upon themselves
( to quote his record against him. These
/ people caused Mr.. Ashurst considerable
! trouble some time ago by declaring
I that as q member of the legislature he
i had not always been the tried and true
| friend of the workingman thSt his
| campaign managers had claimed Dut
! now they are quoting his written rec
ord against some Of his recent utter
ances on the stump.
/ elsewhere, Mr.. Ashurst has taken II
upon himself TO make a bitter attack
upon governor Sloan, whom he has
! characterized as an animated vinegar
/ cruet" He has charged that Sloan was
appointed governor as the result OF a
/ deal made at the time or the last he-
/ publican National convention-that ne
was given the gubernatorlal oIrlce pc
J cause Of his support Of Mr.. Taft in that
! convention. As a matter Of fact, II IS
/ generally known that Mr.. Sloan took
the office under protest and because It
was pointed out to him that 1t was his
duty so TO do in order that differences
| between the two existing factions OF
1 the Republican party might be healed

includes warm Pronunciation OF the
/ governor.
At a Republican meeting at Preccott
| Robert Morrison, one Of the best known
| residents Of YaTapai county, took &C.
! caslOn to read from the records Of the
! Northern Arizona Bar association
/ resolution warmly commendatory OF
| governor Sloan and Of his judicial rec
! ord. The record also showed that Mr.
| AsIurst was a member Of the commit
tee that framed the resolution and that
he signed It
effect on Mr.. Ashurst's candidacy is, OF
/ course, purely prOblematical However
] Mr.. Morrison declares that he has q
i, I number of other facts which he is hold
ing in reserve, but which will be given
/ to the public at the proper time
! PrOhfbitiODists Active.
The PrOhibitiOnists are getting int
the game at the eleventh hour. Here
in Maricopa county they have placed
their local ticket in the field and work
. | has been in progress for some time To
get the cold water brethren Of state
, wide reputation to permit the use OF
their names on the state ticket. The
certificate Of nomination for the Mari
copa county candidates was filed after
the copy for the ballots was in the
/ hands of the printer, and, as it was en-
[ tirely unexpected, was the cause Of
some little trouble.

It IS probable that Phoenix will have
| a new newspaper, to last through the
campaign. Rev. Sam SmalPs paper, the
| Phoenix Sun SUSPENDED publication
| some time ago because Of financial diff
/ ficulties and since that time the plant
has been disposed Of to an eastern type
supply house, holder Of mortgage
against the property. It Is said now
that the Democratic committee has
made a tentative deal with the holder
Of the property for its use during the
campaign for the publication Of paper
! in Spanish.
The date of the PRONUNCIATION Of the
respective platforms Of the Democrats
and Republicans is a matter around
which the liveliest sort of a dispute Is
raging. The Democrats are charging on
